Billy Haley, a former special forces medic with over 25 years of experience in saving lives, is incredibly passionate when it comes to first aid and building first aid kits. In his mind, there’s no such thing as being too prepared. 

In Billy’s own words, “I’ve been doing this for a long, loooong time. I’m admittedly obsessed with building 'the perfect kit' for every individual mission or scenario. Anyone who’s ever been on a team with me will tell you the same thing: ‘Whenever we’re not on mission, he’s either working out or messing with his aid bags.’”

My Medic first aid kits come with top-notch products along with industry-leading organization and wayfinding. However, everyone has different needs. Our kits make a great baseline for you to go in and customize them into the perfect first aid kit for you and your family. Whether that means organizing your kit in a slightly different format, slipping additional items in, or slapping a few patches on the front, we love to see people make them their own! Every kit Billy owns has been customized multiple times to fit his needs and several possible situations he may encounter. These are a few of his personal My Medic kits and how he’s customized them.
