Well; there are some great people in this world and Kurt Lockridge is one of them, for sure!

I received my custom Relief Medic bag today. Kurt does outstanding work and it shows--in the bag. His attention to detail is second too none.

After doing some research I was interested in obtain a custom Relief Medic bag for my Relief Medic trip to Ecuador. Luckily, I heard Kurt was making some custom bag of the Fire Department and thought...if Kurt was willing to construct me a bag; I would be lucky to use one of Kurt's Medic Bag's for my field work, in Ecuador.

I spent some time communicating, with Kurt. This design process went well and the final product is exactly what I need.

Kurt is a awesome person and when he understood that I was personally funding the Relief Medic trip; he offered to build the Medic Bag pro bono! This is greatly appreciated, as I need any help I can get, to make this trip - to Ecuador - happen! Thank you, Kurt!

The Details

This is a front view of the bag. The PALS webbing will allow me to attach external items. Notice, the top and lowest strap provide compression!

In this side view you can clearly see the compression straps as well as a secondary haul loop!

This photograph you can see the primary haul loop as it relates to the secondary carry handle. In the lower left portion, of the photograph, the buckle for the shoulder strap can be seen.

This shows one of two compartments. Kurt designed this to hold small items. It is well designed and functions very well.

Hear is the other side of this compartment. The mesh pockets are also constructed by, Kurt, and hold loose items very well. They are attached with hook and loop, therefore, they can be removed or replaced as needed.

This photograph shows the second compartment. It shows the MOLLE panel, I have room hear to add a few pouches as needed.

Hear you can clearly see the way pencil , Kurt, used to lay-out this portion of the main haul loop!

This photograph shows the attention to detail. These are attached to the YKK zipper slides and help facilitate opening and closing with, heavily, gloved hands. I have been known to tie a few knots in my day; I can not tie this one!
