Is this offer available outside of OH?  If so, I'd like to throw my name in the pot.  Glad to also cover the difference in postage if needed.  I'm in WA state.

"The cost of a thing is the amount of life required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run. When one has obtained those essentials necessary for well-being â€" food, shelter, warmth, and clothing, there is an alternative to struggling through steel jungles for the luxuries. That's to adventure on life itself, one's vacation from humble toil having commenced." -Townsend Whelen

The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

One thing to be aware of: States that have a Good Samaritan law protect you only if you are rendering aid that you have been trained to give. So don't go sticking a tourniquet on someone if you're not up to date on its proper use.

Having said that, I think all instructors should carry an IFAK and be prepared to use it.

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"
- Richard Henry Lee, Declaration Signer

Practice every time you get a chance. - Bill Monroe

 Stock in store?
  It appears that 40-50 people wish to add this to their kit.Should these be an item in the A/S store? :-\

When available, count me in.  I've already got a solid IFAK, but it never hurts to have a spare.
"Those who would trade an ounce of liberty for an ounce of safety deserve neither."

Cadence

"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the
whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they
lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."
~ Samuel Adams

We are still interested in two quality IFAK kits. 

We have two at this point, and two more would be a good idea.  One for each vehicle.  One for the house.  One for the range box.

Just FYI, first aid kits are a reimbursable expense with my FSA.  ;D

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

KProctor

I'm interested  in one aswell if it's still going on. That's a pretty fair price for a pre assembled kit, I've taken a few TCCC courses in the past and they are great courses. If your having trouble sourcing from this supplier I know that primaryarms.com and LApolicegear.com usually have the indivdual items needed to built a kit yourself. May be a good secondary option if anyone is needing a IFAK sooner.

If you do a second order, put me in for two.

Thank you.

Any update on 2nd order?  Plus one here if still working in it.

I've been checking with my source on a regular basis and it seems the supply of these IFAK refill kits has dried up for now. I will continue to check on an ongoing basis and report back.

"Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." - John Adams in a letter to Abigail, 26 April 1777
