Front. Three straps with six buckles serve to attach it to the pack. The size is 40.6 cm (16") high by 15.25 cm (6") wide by 12.7 cm (5") deep.
Side. The pouch is a clam shell, that opens with a zipper.
Rather than use sewn in elastic loops to hold items in place, the inside is covered in a matrix of cord. Through this, bungee cord is placed, giving total latitude in where things are placed and attached.
In the center is a divider panel that houses a SAM splint.

The back also has a slot for crash shears.
The back also has a slot for carrying up to three pairs of XL nitrile gloves.

On the back is a carrying handle so that when the pouch is detached it can be carried to the casualty if need be. Often the first thing needed when dealing with a casualty are gloves and shears to cut away clothing, hence the reason for putting them on the back. Easier and quicker to access that way.

OuchPouch™
In an effort to bridge the blow out kit and the full size aid bag, I created the OuchPouch. It is also a component to go with the EscapePod. Mounted on the outside of a larger rucksack, the OuchPouch can be detached and mated to the sides of the EscapePod along with the Slurpler, when the main pack needs to be ditched.
