I Opened the IFAK Everyone's Talking About — Here's What's Inside
A few weeks back, Paul over at the Prepham Paul YouTube channel ran a live stream giveaway — and my name got drawn! I ended up with one of these IFAKs — Individual First Aid Kit — and I figured, let's crack it open out on the Bronco tailgate table and see what's actually inside.

Tim K5OHY joins the Ham Radio Kids Table Wednesday evening at 8:00 PM EDT to talk about building your own antennas for portable operations — and why DIY antennas can outperform expensive commercial options in the field.
Tim has built an entire YouTube channel around antenna construction for portable and POTA ops, and he's bringing all of it to the table today. We're talking wire antennas, end-feds, verticals, feed lines, and the real-world tradeoffs you need to understand before your next activation.
Stop letting flimsy fiberglass antennas snap on the trail and compromise your comms, or metal antennas that bend and are never straight again.
Handcrafted from ultra-thick 3mm Nickel Titanium (Nitinol), it is virtually indestructible. Built for overlanding, tactical use, and serious off-roading, it will take direct strikes from tree branches and heavy brush at vehicle speeds and instantly spring back to true zero.
