- Carrying medical supplies is not one size fits all. This videos covers several considerations when it comes to carrying an IFAK as an EDC, staging a kit, and carrying one professionally on a plate carrier of battle belt. Please excuse the subpar sound as my new studio has yet to receive sound treatment.
i just finished my first week of EMT training in the Pittsburgh area. This channel is largely what got me interested in the field at 35 years old. The pay cut is going to suck but I am looking for more meaning in my work. Just thought you might like to know!
As a combat medic, this is how I roll. All 3 vehicles have the same Med bag set up exactly the same, this is for my guys to use. I have my personal bag, no one touches my bag unless I tell them, its big, heavy, and for more specific advanced treaments, this is where I keep my meds. Everyone keeps there IFAK on the low back, on their battle belt. More comfortable when sitting, takes up the empty space, supports low back. On the back isnt best for self aid but its there for your buddy to use on you. They honestly have too much mission equipment on their front and sides for an IFAK. This is why I have them carry a loose combat pressure bandage or two, they can reach ith either hand, for self aid. For civilian EDC, I carry just the small H bandage and touriquet, Im usually in shorts and tshirt. Great video.
Where are you operating that you have this militant pecking order?
@@Arthurian. I'm the darkness in the light. Im in the pecking order an elf archer wouldnt understand.
@@uToobSucks ok so you're just another lunatic thinking they're god.
@@Arthurian. pretty much but I dont live in a fantasy world. I believe you are what the kids call a "Troll". If not, do you have any intelligent to add with regards to Medical kit?
@@uToobSucks I believe your are what fathers warn their daughters about. You're too creepy for me.
When I'm up in an attic for work, It crosses my mind sometimes that if I get injured, I'll never make it to my truck in time. It never even occurred to me to try an ankle kit. This is some great advice, thanks!
It can be a hassle, I’ve rocked a few and I’ll put it in rotation, but get more than one kit and try stuff out because it feels good to have free ankles
I'm a trucker and keep 4 levels of first aid kits with me. A boo boo kit in the truck at all times, and then in my edc bag I have a pocket or toss kit for if I need to have someone else treat themselves while I work on more serious injuries for others, an ankle kit for me and a bigger kit on my bag for more extensive situations. Had to use them all at various times because I come across a lot of accidents
Thank you for doing what you do
Here in North Idaho, Freezing tempters and chain saw injurie are common. Frozen tape is useless as is anything else depending on sticking to anything. Car kits or any other off body kits are likely to be frozen, and a consideration when selection is made in the winter.
Also, pocket masks with valves, CPR is likely and has never been mentioned.
I am employed as a security guard at a bourbon tourism distillery. We have numerous first aid kits staged throughout the building (it's an active distillery that tourists get to see, so we have tourists and production folks). I carry a Live the Creed pocket pack with gloves, a SWAT-T (can be used to keep a gauze in place or as a so-so tourniquet) and a couple 2-foot QuikClot packages wherever I am. The building has a SOF-T tourniquet where I can get it (or have someone get it) quickly, and I have a couple of my own that I keep in off-body bags that are carried or kept close a lot of the time (such bags also have emergency blankets and some other supplies, much like your "make it yourself" trauma kit).
I'm no expert, but I know some basics, and keep learning more (my wife is an EMT).
You could store a kit in that mustache!
Great video as always! Congrats on the new studio!
Hello PrepMedic! My name is Steven. A 22 year old college student that has a LTC and some knowledge with LEO background. I live in El Paso Texas, where we now have had 2 big shootings and plenty of school threats/ active shooter incidents. I’ve been a subscriber for a while now, and would love to see if possible, you can make a EDC/ medic kit/ etc for a college student. I am very interested in learning! I believe that you can never be over prepared! Love your content and style of videos! Thank you!
That would be awesome!!!!
Swat-t
Compressed gauze
Vented chest seal
Emergency blanket
Gloves
Mini Sharpie
Any slim bandages
All in a vacuum sealed bag that should be no bigger than the size of a phone so you can have it in your jeans or jacket
@@DragoonGalaxy7 Awesome!! At school I carry a small bag with the Spanish Armed Forces Standard-issue tourniquet, a blanket, gloves, some bandaids and alcohol pads, a pair of scissors and a regular bandage that could work as packing gauze. Then, I carry tape and a packet of regular gauze pads (chest seal). Finally, my keyring is a cpr pocket mask. Anyway, it'd be cool yo know prepmedic's thoughts!!!
Oh, and a sharpie, of course.
First thing I noticed is apparently I don't hear echos? don't apologize, the video is awesome and it sounds perfectly fine.
Sound sounds fine! And the lighting on this new studio looks amazing!
Good stuff. I like the diver triangle idea.
Thank you for this, Mr. Sam! I do EDC and since I'm now an LSP and had fears of getting shot. This would help my everyday safety.
great video. I like that it was short. a longer one later would be good, but this was easy to digest as a whole.
Thank you Sam. Congrats in the new studio. No echo on my end.
Keep 2 in my vehicle bag that moves from car to work truck with me, multiple in house, an ankle ifak, one on the chest rig & a left drop leg pouch that became a medkit lol, one in the pack. May slim that down and snag a Small of the back kit from Refuse Medical for the belt and free up the leg pouch. I like pouches that have an insert that you can yank out without having to muddle around with a open pouch hanging hard to get to, those rip off pouches are cool too.
Seems this advice is now essential in this world. Crazy times folks. Stay safe
Very good points.
new studio is looking good so far
Interesting! I learned a lot! Thank you!
Thanks " Triangle" is amazing idea 🙂
Good topic with good points, well done sir! ✝️ 🇺🇲
Been watching your stuff for a while now, always good to get input from a professional. The 4 minute rule is a good thing to keep in mind, doesn't really apply to me since I keep my kits in my apartment but for work or car stuff it might be helpful.
I have 3 kits at the moment, my EDC IFAK+ in my backpack, a hiking medkit that lives in my wardrobe when not in use and a backpack filled with bleeding supplies and other medical odds and ends I might need. I'm currently waiting on my knock-off BFG Micro Trauma Kit (real ones are untenably expensive here in Switzerland) to use as on-body/jacket pocket carry, since I don't always have my backpack on me.
4 minute rule?
Check out the terra b small ifak or md textil ifak,both made in Germany by German companys. I carry my small ifak every day,another option is frog pro sfd2 ankle kit.
@@simon6993 Thanks for the tip, those look very much like what I'm after, much appreciated!

No Problem youre welcome👍
10 Kit system for me, everything is modular and can be easily added or swapped for any adventures. Depending on length of travel, number of people and types of activities. Cheers !!

Ankle kit in backpack, easy to take out if I leave the bag or there's a heightened threat level for some reason.
As a simple beginner med student, I carry only basic things with me, a minor injury first aid kit to school and a small minor wound pocket tin for EDC
The K.I.S. med pack from guerilla tactical is a good alternative for iwb carry that isn't as big or bulky as the one you showed in the video.
I’m a big fan of the T-Rex Sidecar 2.0 with the TQ caddie. Hardly know it’s there!
Obrigado pelo conteúdo que você passa, agrega muito na minha vida, nunca pare, sucesso.
As an amputee I have A LOT of room for ankle carry!
fire video
All coming together Sam...
Hi Sam! Can you do a video of your tactical jeans, shirts and boots? Brands that you would recommend and you can wear On and Off duty. Thanks!
wow never been this early Dark Angel ankle on duty as a LEO, Belt mount for Work, In my edc bag when wearing shorts
Hay I go hunting with my dad regularly and its pretty far in the woods. So when we go I'm always worried that if something happens I don't have the right supplies to treat an injury. Because in his opinion the farther we go the better the chance of seeing a big buck. His words not mine. The wounds I'm worried about are large gashes or gun shot wound (Cause their has been a time or two that we have had people trespass onto our hunting land or set up other stands to close to our own. Despite being told not to as it was not safe.) So I was wondering what you would recommend for a small or medium sized kit I could fit into a hunting bag.
I want u to make a video about headsets and ppt kit or just a radio tips for military paramedics, 9 line and mist report in action🙏🤝
I was wondering, I got a workshop with tons of dangerous tools. Angle grinders, table saw, high powered belt sander, welding equipment etc. Things that seem like they are designed to kill and/or maim me. I want a good medical kit I can hang on the wall, specifically designed for a space like this. What would I need? Currently got a CAT, Israeli bandage, normal bandages and a few other items. But I'm probably missing a whole lot that I should have. An eye washer is next on the list. Anyone got tips?
Would you rather have a SWAT-T or the new EDC Tourniquet in your everyday setup if you don't have space for a full-sized CAT?
Where would you recommend putting IFAK in backpack?
So if my artery is cut it's a good idea to run to my car to get the stop bleed to use? Wouldn't that make your heart pump more blood faster.
I didn't hear an echo? Congrats on the new place. Can I ask what is the "pull out bag" on the back of your plate carrier please. Seems like a good place for back up supplies.
It’s one of the back panels by HRT tactical.
Were you wearing armor under your shirt / jacket? It looked like something stiff like a kevlar panel was sticking up in front of your shoulders?
hello, what is this auxiliary extra on the back side of the armor, what brand is it?
Does anyone have any experience with belly band holsters used for medical kit? I've been looking some at them but just wanted to know if anyone's ever tried it and their opinion on if it works or not.
Can someone talk me about the rhino rescue products, but only if have actually tested them
I wanted to know would this work, having 4 medication vial kits that hold 20 vials on the side and front of each leg, and front of each. Also of course having a medkit on the chest
what type of plate carrier are you using in this vid??👀
Does anyone one half a link for an in the belt medical kit they prefer/recommend? Thanks..
Links to pouches please?
спасибо очень грамотно!
Chapter Marks would be appreciated
I'd suggest you get a fanny pack then you can adjust it to fit your own comfort and reach from any angle
I have noticed on some of your kits that you have your medical tape hanging on the outside of your kit. How do you attach that? I can see the benefit of not having to dig for your tape, but I have no idea how you attach it. Thank You! Maybe a video or some photos would help.
Hey, I think you're talking about a grimloc. It's a product made by ITW. Itwnexus is the website. They make a similar item called a tac link (carabiner basically) that can sometimes be better depending on the amount and type of tape
Instructions unclear. The bomb is strapped to my chest.
What ankle kits do you use for EDC or duty carry?
I think that was the Warrior Poet ankle kit. I like mine.
Warrior poet ankle ifak kit here as well. I wore a US Palm kit for about 3 years until it fell apart and they don't make them anymore.
I have a six echo and love it but a friend wants something different. Thanks for the input
Interesting why that's a triangle and not a circle. 🙂
I normally carry outside the waistband at 2 or 3 oclock for eds sofar no one cares here at the philippines
Ankle ifak 90% of the time. That 10% is while on the bike. Yup.
Just a nobody here, but isn't that 4min mark just a talking point? I was under the impression that a severed femoral can lead to unconsciousness in 30sec, hypovolemic terminal phase in 1 to 2min.
I don't necessarily agree with the 4 minute rule. If you get shot in the femur the likelihood of you being able to walk out to your vehicle in 4 minutes while spurting blood is slim to none.
The only medical kit that will be useful for self aid is one you have on your person or within arms reach. Any kit you stage in your car, in your home or at your desk is to help those around you.
I don't understand how these high speed dudes, and cops carry their IFAK on the SOB... I just got a one like that, taking example from other high speed guys and I'm coming to realize these guys are just trainers. They don't really test their equipment out in the field. has anyone tried sitting in a police car, humvee, or anything that you have to sit with an IFAK on the small of their back? it's impossible. you're going ot cause back issues. so now here I am after 13 years of policing, want to carry an IFAK on me, but no place to put it. Looking to put it on my vest and put my mags on my belt instead. there is no way I can be comftrable with the IFAK on my back. not sure how these youtube stars do it. Guess they put on belt for the videos, then take it off lol
I keep a tampon in the “chapstick” holder of my underpants as my number one stop the bleed tool.
Excellent mobility, always on my person, not technically on an extremity, and if my D!$& gets blown off… it’s time to die anyway.
Good info on this vid. Thanks!
Your joking right?
@@nathansmith6076 he really said tampon😂
@@nathansmith6076 he watched too many bug out bag tutorials
@Cali D. Tatakae bro why r u so toxic
I like this but those ankle kits resemble ye olde ankle teather. I find it odd to have that bulge.
Shoot that pocket kit doesn’t look much bigger then my wallet what’s in it?
It kinda bothers me that you in the US pronounce a tourniquet like turniket. It is actually pronounced like turnikee. It was first made in france, hence the pronunciation and writing.
I know in american english turniket is ok, but it still bothers me, cause everywhere else, it is pronounced similar to the original.
It's a bit like in Harry Potter. The t in Voldemort isn't pronounced either. It's more like Voldemor. (Also having it's origin in the french language).
Glory to Ukraine
Glory to heroes. 🇺🇦
nah
Support yourselves then
Silence bot
Help Ukrainian medic!!!
Can we just enjoy the video without this Ukraine shit for once?
