-----Here I review my first-in trauma bag. Its the Kemp professional trauma bag and is designed sorta for an ALS bag. Its been the bag I use as my trauma/edc/BLS ems bag in my car. Has all the BLS equipment needed for a general medical call. Though its set up as a trauma bag, it has resuscitation supplies, and other basics. From this kit I got hemorrhage supplies, isolation gear, external irrigation/flushing for wounds, bandaging and wound care, immobilization supplies, and assessment supplies. This bag has been through a lot of rough use, probably more than any other bag ive owned. its held up through it and fits my needs with organizing my bls responder stuff. Id recommend this bag to anyone in the prepping world to keep medical supplies and of course EMS/FIRE and even police.

I'd replace your biohazard container with biohazard bags. Or just bags. They hold more than the box. That way you create more storage in that area. Your bag is awesome. You put a lot of work into the organization. Thanks for posting this video.
i really like that idea! thank you!
Sam splint,chest seals tourniquet
@@DmacReviews the problem with that is that unless you're cleaning up after an ALS call such as a cardiac arrest there's no point in having those bags. Because you're not going to want to carry around a bag half full of old band aid wrappers. I'd recommend something like an empty Clorox wipe container.
Thanks Dmac for the review. I just got mine shipped today :)
Thumbs up for putting links to the contents :)
I really enjoy this video
I am going to be a doctor in some years. This video is awesome. Congradulates from Brazil
I like the paracord zippers, nice touch!
I carry a bag about half that size I have enough to get 1 at the most 2 critical people help before the ambulance gets there but that's all I intended the bag for. keep them alive until they can get to the hospital or more definitive care.
Victor Smith what’s in your bag?
That's an awesome bag I'm going to have it when I'm a fire fighter I'll put every thing you have in it
Thank you! The volume greatly varies since with the training I received i did not need to have FD affiliation (Was just below EMT). I am working on pursuing EMT and all that stuff to get more runs/training, but as EMR I came on from 1-sometimes 5,6 incidents a week. Not a lot, but then again I also assisted at retreats and at church and brought a lot more volume.
Thanks for sharing. Theres some stuff I'd add and some I'd take out. You should definitely add a tourniquet next
Thanks! Yes!!! My New version of this has 2x TQ's
Excellent bag!
C Collar and Hyfin vented chest seals?
Thats a hell of jump bag!
Great setup. As a first responder, how many medical calls do you get a week/month? I'm in training as a fire fighter/first responder in a small town. Our first responder's get 85-90% of the calls. Currently only able to assist.
ahhhhhhh I need a medic bag!
A VERY BEAUTIFUL MEMORY OF THE MEDICAL PACK MY DAD HAD WHEN HE WAS ALIVE I COULD READ THE BLOOD STAINS ON HIS MEDICAL PACK THEY TOLD ME THE STORIES OF WHERE MY DAD WAS AT AND WHAT HE DID I OFTEN CURLED UP WITH MY HEAD ON THE MEDICAL PACK WITH HIS TREATIS BOOK ON MY CHEST FAST ASLEEP DREAMIN OF SOME OF THE MEDICAL PACK I WOULD CARRY JUST LIKE MY DAD DID
Dmac I subed to ya you have some great vids and medical knowledge
tactical wars Thank you!! Im no doctor by any means, but try to be the best I can and be as diligent as I can with the training i do have. More vids to come!
Sweet I plan on going into the marines or be a corpsman so basicly a field medic and I just started my med kit build up but I can't wait for the new vids gr8 job Dmac
tactical wars Awesome man!! Very noble pursuit. You go out there and you help your fellow man. You have any vids on your bag? Great stuff! I think its very important for everyone to have some form of plan for first aid out and about. Never know when youll need it.
Yes I have a few simple med kits but my big one got stolen so I have to build it bqck
Hey well simple is sometimes all you need! Oh that stinks!!
This kit could deal with minor injuries only, not ‘trauma’ or cardiac arrest situations, no real treatment in it
Totally agree
Ok first of all he's an EMT not a paramedic. So for the most part he has everything the adverage *EMT* carries. In my state EMTs are not allowed to start IVs it's ALS paramedics that you will see more advanced stuff in. You won't find prescription medications, needle decompression kits, intubation kits, or things for IVs in this man's bag. EMT's at least at the basic level carry more trauma, assessment, and BLS supplies.
Dallas is happy
excelente video, saludos desde mexico
+Dmac the bag I mean I'd the red bag with black zippers that holds all of the wound care supplies also where did you get that bag thanks
2021 where are you all! Anyway where did you get the trauma shears
Great review and channel! I'm a new subscriber and thanks for your video reviews! Any chance you would be reviewing some medical backpacks in the future?
+tactical veterinarian Hey thanks for the kind words! I do in fact have some tactical backpacks I use for hiking. Will consider doing videos on them. Stay tuned! Planning on doing a filming day soon.
Awesome, I'm looking forward to it! I've used the Ergodyne Arsenal Trauma backpack,Blackhawk STOMP 2, and TSSI M9 assault backpacks for different purposes.
Hey what was that hard zippered green pouch with the thermometer in it?? Thanks!
Thank you so much!! Yes, that is something I am working to add in currently. I was thinking CAT, which is the ultimate solution, but and not sure with the price and space it may take up. Currently my plan has been to use the Latex-type IV Tourniquets and if needed use a pen to tighten it in the same manor you would see with the kravat/stick method. If it wouldnt work off of that I would resort to a BP cuff most likely as a last ditch. Of course any use of tourniquet is strictly last resort, but in the case I couldnt stop it with any other method with the tools in this current bag, Id probably turn there for now until I got some CATs
+Dmac The bands used for IVs won't stop bleeding. They'll make it worse, actually. They're not actually tourniquets; tourniquets stop arterial flow. IV bands compress veins, so venous bleeding would be worsened and it won't even begin to touch an arterial bleed. Using a windlass with one won't work, either. Using a cravat and improvised windlass is your best option in the absence of a tourniquet. CATs are only $20-30 and work very well, but sometimes you need two just to control hemorrhage. Don't be too hesitant to use one, either. If the hemorrhage quickly soaks through the dressing with direct pressure, go straight to a tourniquet. If it's obviously an arterial, go straight to a tourniquet. Don't waste time trying to stop a femoral artery from hemorrhaging with gauze and pressure dressings. It only takes a few minutes to bleed out from a major artery. Tourniquets can be left on for extended periods of time without causing damage to the distal limb.
Yeah I now have CAT's on there now
I want learn more about first aid especially in emergency happened because it can be happen in our daily working activities.
Where do you keep a tourniquet or don’t you carry one? Do you carry any hemostatic gauze ?
Im getting 1 soon
As far as carrying it id say that depends on your own feelings on it. Im not expert on all the regulations (i just try to stick with the gear review side of things), but you want to make sure your area allows that skill to be used on public/strangers and all. Asking your instructors for EMT would be where Id start. If you keep it in the kit for family only or for yourself, I know of nothing saying you cant do that. Its like my Epi Pens I keep in my Jump bag. I am trained on Epi use through my EMS training, but comes with various limitations. The pens I keep in my Bag here are only for me and I would never use them on anyone else. I have a bit of supplies I keep handy for emergencies, but with many things you gotta use them wisely. There are many other items I keep at home as a prepper of sorts that I wouldn't go trying to use in a good Samaritan capacity. Talk to your peeps where you're at and find out what they say. I know up where we are, EMT's are now allowed to do blood sugar tests, but it varies based on location.
how much was the bag
hey i am going to take an emt bls course in a few days do you have any tips for the test or the training
+Survivial Preppers Hey awesome!!!!! Are you taking EMR or EMT B?
+Survivial Preppers This bag varies from place to place but its usually around 70-90 ish. In description i have where you can find pretty much anything in it and check price and what not. there are other sellers out there but amazon is where I bought mine through and much of my medical supplies. good for stocking if you arent going for the Bulk orders.
+Dmac emt b do you have any tips for the test or for training
awsome bag! I can only dream of having one that fully stocked. I may have missed it but What about a tourniquet? With a severe arterial bleed, how do you plan to stop it?
edgar tovar I've heard that tourniquets are not really the best anymore. It damages soft tissue so it's better just to put pressure on the wound/cut.
cheeseball 47 you heard wrong. Tourniquets are used more frequently now than ever before to stop bleeding. If pressure doesn’t work and bleeding continues, there won’t be any soft tissue left at all if your patient goes into hypovolemic shock and dies.
you need some Israeli bandages for major lacerations, just a suggestion though since they are pretty expensive.
Jake Zimmerman They’re only like 9 bucks. The t3 is the newest one and it comes with extra gauze
I missed the tourniquettes, israeli bandages, quickclot pads, and pneumothorax occlusion pads. I'm sure they were there.
Do you have to buy all of the things in the bag yourself, or does the hospital supply a large portion of these things such as saline, bandages, etc. Sorry if this is a repeat question.
+bobster8000 Naw not a repeat question! I do buy basically all my stuff. A lot of it is free though, either friends passing things on, etc.
Is this similar to ergodyne first aid bag?
Watch what's inside a Mercedes E class ambulance from The Netherlands (With English and many other subtitles). th-cam.com/video/UrszACoUBAE/w-d-xo.html
How does one get a hold of the red bag you keep your gauze and pads in.
For me a friend passed it along to me, but you might find them on ebay, ems websites.
Wow that's huge
hey i am training to be an emt and i was wondering if i should carry a glucometer in my emt jump bag
You'll have to check your protocalls for that skill in your area. As an EMT I feel that it is a VERY valuable tool, personally I would. I don't know about using it for strangers outside of an agency though. Too many people that are sue happy. Even holding c-spine could get you in a world of trouble without proper licensure.
I carry one in my bag. Good Samaritan cover your scope of practice
@@TMAK131 If the patient is diabetic they will know how to use it and there is nothing wrong with offering it to them to test themselves. Totally legal. They will actually be able to tell you usally with out even testing that they are going into low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia) unless it is their first time in that situation. Glucose tabs are a good idea. I have even used a honey packet from KFC once. Some gear people carry is just in case a trained individual arrives on scene ( off duty nurse/doctor/etc) without their gear, and you will be able to let them use it. In most states you are good as a Samaritan as long as you stay in your scope of knowledge and training. Some states actually have good Samaritan laws now to protect you.
I'm emt my self from the UK
No TQ or chest seals? Also I’d upgrade that knife
It seems he is a EMT, EMT's are not allowed to use chest seals.
@@slender169101 Yes they can. Im about 1 month away from finishing my EMT and we were taught that.
@@riderkonkle9972 I myself am a state and national EMT and we were never taught chest seals, we were taught occlusive dressings with onw side open tp left air escape
slender169101 EMT’s are most definitely allowed to use chest seals. I’m an EMT and have used chest seals a couple times. Chest seals are occlusive dressings that are already made and slap on like a sticker. You have the option of vented or non vented. They teach occlusive dressings because most ambulances don’t have chest seals they have petroleum gauze because it’s cheaper.
No need for tourniquet since you can make your own by using roll gauze And twist with an OPA
Is that your work bag or your own personal bag that keep in your car or something?
personal car bag. has gone through some changes as this was an older vid but still a pretty good setup for what I need in terms of a bls jump bag. added things i threw in were stuff like tourniquets/combat dressings, more splints/etc.
What bag is in the bleeding compartment to hold the stuff
+Airsoft dude You mean the black pouch with zippers on it that is within the red wound care module?
where did you buy this bag??? I am looking for something just like this!
Its a great bag! Its made by KempUSA and was very reasonably priced. They have done some version revisions but search "professional trauma bag" and you should find it.
If you are an emr does that mean you work with the rescue squad if you do how come you stocked it your self and payed for it your self . My cousin is a emr wilting with a volunteer department and he brings his bag into the supply room and stocks it for free
was an emr before joining fd so already had supllies. friends also would pass on gear they had and a few doctors as well would pass on things as they heard my ems/emt goals. if ever needed supllies for this kit and such id ask but quite content as it stands!
What's that?
Do you carry a bvm and or c-collar
I do. Moreso the bvm. in my situation with how fast our 911 system is here, theres really not much use for a c-collar for a personal bag.
Where do you get those pouches or cases for your equipment I can’t find any
Search Ego E-cigarette pouches on ebay, Pacific coat IV Bag (find on ebay as Im not sure if they are making bags still. That case was used for the wound care organizer. ) other than that, I just used various small containers and ziplock bags.
Thank you so much 😀😀😀😀
More specifically the old intubation bag
+Airsoft dude That is a pacific emergency products S400 I believe? I got it a while back from a friend of mine who didnt need it anymore. Didnt have the model number on it. Know its a pacific emergency products brand though.
That's a lot of good stuff but you didn't have any tourniquets in there. That's a critical piece of equipment! I hope you've got some in there by now.
I actually have about 8 of them. Not all in one bag haha I keep two in my jump bag, two on my truck, and several other scattered around.
@@DmacReviews Awesome ya I've got like 5 or 6 scattered around in various pieces of my gear so it sounds like I need to step my game up a little!
I hear Quick Clot and Isreali Bandages on all of these BUT yours didn't have it or you didn't say it if you have those. How come? I'm not knocking your bag, I'm soon becoming a volunteer EMS and I'm gonna make a bag like you did and since you're professional I'm wondering how come you didn't have that when others do.
Hey, great question! To be honest it was mainly just the cost of them that kept me from buying them. Quick clot is pricey and Israelis weren't as cheap at the 4" roller gauze stuff. Since finding a superb deal at a flea market, my kit now has the CAT tourniquets, israeli's, and quickclot, etc. never know what youll find at those places
Okay thanks. I found some of the bandage online for $9 on Amazon and I'll keep an eye out for tourniquets. You work with this stuff more than other people I've seen sot that's why I wanted to ask.
Oh ok! Yes, Amazon has a lot of great deals for this sorta stuff. I stocked most of this kit from just Amazon. I do to a degree, but am by far no expert. Glad to be able to pass along gear tips and ideas for kits! Are you taking an EMT course by chance?
I haven't started yet but I will soon. Hopefully next week I'll start. My local area has a Volunteer Fire and EMS department because we are very rural so I want to learn things like gun shot and knife wounds along with the other things needed. To be totally honest short of a few special things like those bandages I've been able to find it at Walmart or other stores in town. In recent years through volunteering with youth I've made friends with a local fire chief from a few parishes over (I'm from Louisiana) and he's the chief of training so I'll hopefully be able to get some good training with his people too and get good pro tips. I'll stay in touch and will of course subscribe.
Awesome! Yeah certainly get the training under your belt.. Its worth it! I thought I knew how to bandage/splint things before EMT class- Now I know how to even better lol. Yeah from what I remember Walmart does have some good deals as well (I dont have one local to me.)
what did bag and all/most of your supplies cost you?
I imagine it cost around $300 for the entire thing. The bag is about $80 and then supplies id guess add up to 210-220. Of course with sales and deals you can probably find cheaper supplies.
Nice set up. Thanks for the reply
As ICU nurse all I have in my medical bag is:
- many gloves
- protection goggles
- saline fluids 1500 ml just for burns
- A lot of gauze for compressive medication
- three tourniquet
- ambu bag for ventilation
- Small O2 tank
- O2 masks
- guedel cannulae
- trauma scissors
- Stetoscope
- 14 gauge needle for pnx decompression
Nothing else. This is what i need to take time while waiting ambulance in real emergencies. All the rest, for me, is useless.
I agree much only for aftercare. However a defibrillator could be biggest lifesaver and chest seals, pressure dressing also beneficial for field trauma.
What brand of gloves
Hae there iam Stephen k mwangi EMT if I need one hw can i get it iam in kenya
Can you give me the dimensions of the bag please?
Can like a person like me carry this I'm in search and rescue with the civil air patrol and I'm a ground team 3 member and I see stuff like this on amazon with all this and I'm also a safety officer at rocket club am I aloud to buy and use something like this if I'm certified but not a active paramedic
Hey Dani thanks for the comment! So the contents in this bag actually arent Paramedic supplies (thats a higher level license and involves higher level supplies). These supplies are basic EMT/EMR supplies. Have you had first aid/cpr training? My advice (take it for what its worth-only my personal thoughts) is if you haven't seen it/been trained on it, I wouldn't carry it. So things like bandages, gauze, wraps, splints, ice packs, etc are more under general first aid items. The stuff like Oral airways, Bag valve mask, meds, etc are where you wanna be trained before you use it. Can you CARRY whats in this bag- course....however, what you USE can do more harm than good if you dont have the training. My main rule of thumb when stocking bags is to only carry what I have been trained to use.
For your situation, you could get one of these bags and stock it with what you are trained with and any extra space you have can be used for safety gear/SAR gear related to CAP. Just a thought:) Another option since you're more on the tactical side; you could pick up a tactical bag and do the same deal. Let me know if that interests you and I can send my recommendations for tactical bags.
Dmac Reviews yes I am fully certified for the airways besides intubation and I'm CPR wounds sucking chest wounds etc so I would be aloud to everything except major airways and needles but I can do normal saline IV thank you
Like I said earlier, my general rule of thumb is keeping stuff im trained to do in the pack. I think you are fine. Yeah all thats on here are OPA's, BVM and then the wound flush stuff.
Dani Stevens it all depends I'm an active paramedic it is really good for me to have one of these for when I'm not working on the job
that knife is not a rescue knife that is a switch blade knife
Spring assist, not switchblade
Dmac i want to be a peramedic when im older and do you have any advice to help me be a better peramedic
+hollywood4561000 Hey! Well I am no medic (yet) but volunteering at your local fire dept can be a very good way to start (and can get free training some/most places!). You can also look into college majors/classes for attaining your certifications. Youll most likely have to pay for those classes though. I would start by getting in touch with your local departments and find out what training is specifically required for your EMS system. If you havent had much exposure to EMS/Medical stuff, taking an EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) certification course is a great way to get basic skills and knowledge which you can build on as you work toward your medic. Hope this heps!
Yes Very Much!!!!!!
What do you carry for diabetes?
+Emilie Fitzgerald On this kit not much. Just a tube of glucose.
i let a camp borrow my medical kit for a horse and they basically just stole my stuff because they took an IV catheter and all of their stuff that would not be applicable and needed
Why are you packing albuterol? I hope that's personal use and that you don't plan on using that for a patient.
Own personal use.
how much was your kit?
+Joseph B. Mmm gosh..I think a safe estimate would be about $300 at least. Since I built my own and bought (or was given) the stuff in here piece by piece I dont know how much it all ends up being. I will say though, going this route really saved me big time since lot of higher end bags go for 300 just for the bag itself. I was able to get by with fraction of that for this bag (and yet not any less quality in my mind with how they made it) and probably around 210-220 for the supplies in it
+a2m4m60 It is actually believe it or not an E-cigarette case I bought from China a while back. They are quite durable and I bought a few because I saw great potential as them being used for holding medical supplies especially any meds. Keeps things protected.
Why don't you have a c collar
+PennyNickel101 Never claimed to be an EMT. I am Certified as an EMR. (Similar to EMT, just less class time and we can't initiate Oxygen without EMT. I was trained in the use of C-collar for that as well as full backboarding immobilization. I don't carry a collar simply because of space and never really having a need thus far. Making vids mainly to give ideas of bag organization/contents for those seeking to make first response kits. Many people will have differing ideas; this is just what I personally carry.
+PennyNickel101 No hard feelings here man!! I see it too where I'm at. There's a LOT I do not know and I have to watch myself in staying humble and such. My heart is to step out though and do what I CAN do. EMR (Emergency Medical Responder. Was also referred to as first responder but I hear its gone through evolutions to add more training to it than 1st responder) its a basic rung of the EMS system, but I can still manage bleeding, immobilize, assist certain meds, manage an airway, etc. Deff not a medic or doctor but I dont think EMR is without its impact. The training has proved very useful in numerous situations I come across. Just like CPR isnt without its impact. I just wanna give what I got and try and do things to the best of my ability. Taking EMT this summer which will add more training onto that of course.
You too man!!
How much did it cost for you to get it all done
I probably would guess it was about a $300 deal. That may sound high, but this type of bag of course isn't your average first aid bag. Many high-end ems bags would cost around that JUST for the bag... not including the supplies. For me, the Kemp bag has been the best bag option for my Ems kit stuff as I really havent found a better deal out there. Hope this helps
How often do you have to use your bag
Lately, not much. It comes in spurts. Between school and other commutes, I would come across a pretty regular share of things. I do use it for at-home stuff on a somewhat regular basis, too. Just depends on whats happening. Usually only grabbing a few items vs the whole bag.
I'm wanting to become a paramedic but right now I'm an emt and I really need to get a bag because my sister today started going in and out of Conscience and kept having a bloody nose and kept feeling hard to breath what do you think it is and can I get your phone number so I can ask you a few questions about the bag please and think you
Oh nice! You will be able to do a lot as a medic. Good goal.
I would not be the person to ask for medical advice/etc (Just an EMT myself and theres so many factors/limitations not being on that call). Best to ask Doc or call ur emergency number! Good luck.
I just focus on gear reviews and organizing stuff here. I deff recommend having a kit of some sort.
I dont give out contact info over Ytube, but feel free to ask my any gear qs on here! Ill try to answer them.
here's several ideas for surviving any situation
1. Have food stock:
2. Find a shelter:
3. Know the dangers:
(I read these and the reasons they work from Marla Survive System site )
Amir Grg it's not a survival bag it's a medical first in bag
Mate ... Nice kit, but I have been an Intensive Care paramedic now for 25 years and I can tell you for a fact, that for WHATEVER use, you have way to much shit in that bag and you have doubled up so many times its ridiculous. Listen ... think about all the jobs you have been to in the last 12 months and remember what you actually used. You could throw away literally half of the gear you have in that bag and still have more than you need. It would make it easier to carry and easier to check for out of date equipment not to mention ease of finding stuff in a hurry. I know where you are coming from as my first bags looked just like that.... but I have cut down and cut down and cut down again and You will feel more confident when you do knowing where everything is.
Thanks for the feedback. I keep this bag as an at-home bag and rarely ever goes out with me. Have made another bag that I use as my vehicle jump bag. Just havent done a vid on it!
Would have been nice for you go over the items a bit more. I’m here because I don’t know so saying “you know” all the time isn’t much use to me.
your mom's basement looks like is has nice carpet.
Thanks!
I have spent months studying prepping and found a great resource at Survivor Crusher System (google it if you're interested)
اللي عنده منها اشتريها
واو
You Could of sounded a bit more happy
ohhhh its ur own bag that figures. cause looks like its never been to a single response before. Real medic bags don't look at all like that!!
Yup! And oh it has many a' times. I just take good care of it to keep it looking new. Stain removers, etc keep it pretty clean.
Dmac Reviews he is just fucking jealous he is not a emt or paramedic like me
Am an EMT. kuddos for bein medic.
Dmac Reviews if you ever consider being a paramedic it is very fun but can be overwhelming
Oh for sure! With every step you got more responsibility!
