Carrying a tourniquet is well understood — but penetrating chest wounds need a chest seal fast, and most concealed carriers have no slim way to keep one and hemostatic gauze on them.
What carries a chest seal and gauze in the space of a wallet?
The EDC Wallet closes a different gap than a tourniquet: pocket-sized chest-seal and hemostatic-gauze access for concealed or plainclothes carry. The pre-filled configuration carries a HyFin® Vent Compact Chest Seal Twin Pack — vented for ongoing pressure equalization in a penetrating chest wound. Laser Cut Laminate 500D nylon gives it military-pouch durability in a billfold silhouette: 1.74 oz empty, 0.35″ thick, it slides into a cargo, back, or front pocket. Customizable elastic loops let you arrange or swap contents. Sold wallet-only or pre-filled with wound packing gauze or CoTCCC-recommended Combat Gauze® LE.

When to Deploy Every Day Carry Wallet
- Pocket EDC carry: Fits a wallet-sized trauma kit in the same pocket as an actual wallet — deployable within seconds.
- Travel and commute carry: Airline travel, public transit, and vehicle commutes all benefit from a pocket-sized trauma response capability.
- Supplement to a primary kit: Carry the Wallet as a backup to a primary IFAK — if the main kit is inaccessible, the wallet kit provides immediate trauma capability.
- Civilian workplace carry: Office and indoor environments where a tactical kit would be inappropriate — the wallet carries without drawing attention.
- Running and outdoor activities: Clips to clothing or stows in a running vest for minimal-weight trauma capability during physical activity.
- Family and vehicle carry: Keep one in each vehicle and one on every family member for immediate access to basic hemorrhage control.
The EDC Wallet (without kit) is the pouch component only — pair it with your preferred trauma supplies. For a preloaded option, see the EDC Wallet Kit which includes supplies.
How Every Day Carry Wallet Compares
EDC Wallet (pouch only) vs EDC Wallet Kit: The Wallet is the pouch; the Wallet Kit includes supplies. Choose the Wallet if you want to build your own load out; choose the Wallet Kit for a ready-to-carry preloaded option.
EDC Wallet vs EDC Fanny Pack: The Wallet is the most compact EDC format. The Fanny Pack carries significantly more capability but at larger size. The Wallet is for absolute minimal-footprint carry; the Fanny Pack is for EDC environments where a fanny pack is socially acceptable.
EDC Wallet vs standard wallet: The EDC Wallet replaces your regular wallet while adding a dedicated medical kit compartment. It is designed to be indistinguishable from a normal wallet in appearance and carry profile — critical for off-duty carry where kit visibility is undesirable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the EDC Wallet — is it a pouch or a complete kit?
A: The NAR Every Day Carry Wallet is a purpose-designed carry pouch — not a preloaded medical kit. It is sized to accept specific NAR trauma supplies (tourniquet, chest seal, etc.) in a wallet form factor. For a preloaded option, the EDC Wallet Kit includes both the pouch and supplies.
Q: Does the EDC Wallet include a C-A-T® tourniquet?
A: The EDC Wallet (pouch only) does not include medical supplies — it is the carrier. The EDC Wallet Kit is the preloaded version that includes a C-A-T® tourniquet and additional trauma supplies. Verify the listing description to confirm whether you are purchasing the pouch alone or the complete kit.
Q: What are the dimensions of the EDC Wallet for fit planning?
A: The EDC Wallet is designed to approximate standard wallet dimensions for pocket carry. Exact dimensions are published in the North American Rescue product specification. It is designed to accept specific NAR flat-pack products — refer to product documentation for compatible load configurations.
Q: Is the EDC Wallet suitable for use by non-medical personnel?
A: Yes. The EDC Wallet is designed for civilian, off-duty, and non-medical carry. The trauma supplies it is intended to carry (tourniquet, chest seal, compressed gauze) are suitable for any trained individual. Stop the Bleed certification provides sufficient training for effective deployment of these items.
Q: Can the EDC Wallet be used as an actual wallet (cards, cash)?
A: The EDC Wallet's primary purpose is trauma kit carry. It includes compartment space sized for trauma supplies; any remaining space can accommodate cards or cash depending on the specific configuration loaded. For a dual-function carry, the wallet form factor allows discrete trauma carry alongside personal items in the same pocket.
