You are a very informed young lady. Who ever is training you get a A++. I am a retired firefighter/medic and now i teach firearm classes. My daughter is going to help me because i think it is important to have a female teach female. Keep doing what you are doing on TH-cam because you will help A lot of young ladies that are not sure about firearms make a educated decision on going in that direction.
I am just beginning to figure out what I need in my bag as well as what kind I want to use. One thing I have is a bandana. This is to put around my neck and tuck into the top of my shirt. I have experienced cartridges flying into the neck of my shirt and those things are quite warm! This is a great list of things I will add.
@@lauriecarlton8907 I use a smaller container, but the reason they are important has to do with the solution in the wipes. I would put some in a ziplock The lead on your body isn't difficult to off with soap and water, but the deleading wipes will dissolve more lead off your body per wipe than an average wipe. Realistically, the most important thing is wash your hands and eat before, not after the range. Also, just be aware every single surface in a gun range has a thin coating of lead contaminated powder. I try to use museum rules and just touch as little as possible and don't linger.
One or two pairs of exam gloves in with the trauma/aid kit is a reasonable practice, worrying about the condition of someone's blood can slow down your response time.
Just found your channel and subscribed. Have been trying forever to get my wife interested un shooting and self defense with no success. She would never watch other vids about shooting but this weekend she watched several of yours! We have a range on our property and when I asked her to come with me she didn't outright say no and I take this as progress. Keep up the good work.
I have lots of things in my range bag. one thing I am missing is first aid kit. I never thought of that. so now I am going to add that. So here is my list. Ear Protection, box staples, leatherman, plastic bag, hair scuncis, pair of scissors, 4 pens, gun oil, small hammer, gun mags, small punch, Cmmg 22 bolt for my AR-15 to 22, AR-15 round catcher bag, 6 and 8 inch targets, Fome rubber pad, ammo for the guns I shooting that day, and the most important stapler. But after watching you, I am adding first aid kit. Ho yes a good nail file, and nail clippers.
This video was helpful for me, thanks! I would love videos of you and your sisters together (I have 3 sisters, no bros lol) and all the different range/shooting stuff you each carry. Would love to see the various differences and similarities. Thanks!
that's a great idea!! my oldest sister lives out of state but next time we're all together I'd love to do something like that :) Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment Deb!
I love your videos! I am a new gun owner so I am trying to learn as much as I can and I find your videos very helpful. Where did you get your med kit with the tourniquet?
I find a magnifying glass essential. I have them everywhere. I keep one in the car as well as several at home. Also small bright flashlights are a necessary item forme to keep on hand. Also safety pins in case there's a clothing issue.
We use hand warmers in the winter here in Georgia. It gets cold here too. The things I have in my range bag are pretty identical you yours. Like minds think alike. Your videos are great refreshers for old geezers like me. Thanks a bunch.
Found your channel yesterday and subscribed after watching a few videos because I really like your content. Today I thought it would be fun to go back and see your early videos so this looks to be your first...
For non-gun and non-ammo I keep the rest of the miscellaneous shooting crap in a clear game bag of the type they make you use at football games. All the stuff you use every time. Or might need on occasion. It’s clear so you can see if you took anything out and it keeps all that miscellaneous stuff from rolling around the bottom of the bag. The guns and ammo go in a separate tote. Both bags fit into the larger range bag but you can take everything out and find it easily. Targets are kept in a large envelope that also fits in the range bag. I’m not a real organized person and this system helps.
Try peacock pocket warmers. You also might want to consider more things in your trauma kit (more pressure dressings [especially more gauze, doesn`t have to be hemostatic], chestseals, gloves [not the black ones but some you can see the blood on], tubus & trauma sheers). My trauma/first aid stuff is held together with some rangerbands (out of a old bycicle tire) and a elastic band that`s originally used in the military to hold the pantslegs over the boots. You also might like ballistol. It`s antiseptic, helps with faster healing, smaller cuts and rough skin but it`s also gunoil among other things.
@@SheEquipsHerself Make sure the chestseals are with hydrogel. Improvised ones with tape tend to get loose when there is body hair, sweat or blood. I like hyfin double pack chest seals but whatever is probably fine as long as it has hydrogel and are at least two (entrance and exit wound). As far as traumasheers go there is a big difference in quality and the very cheapest ones tend to not work. As a sidenote a safety cutter like on a resqme can also be great for cutting pantslegs.

Love your videos! Your words made my girlfriend start to try shooting. Could you record a video talking about first aid in the range and on the field?
In my first aid bags in my shop or truck or around the house I keep small containers of super glue. Excellent for sealing yourself up if you spring a leak. And I’m a fellow New Englander (and fellow 10 rounder here in CT) and my local range gets crazy cold in the winter. The guy is cheap and doesn’t even have hot water in the bathroom and the hand dryer doesn’t have a heating element in it, haha why do I go there?
So glad I found you! Best information on your channel, by far! And I have joined a Well Armed Woman chapter, joined a couple of facebook groups, practiced and talked with workers at the range. Also trying to sign up for as many classes as I can. Your videos show and discuss so much detail of things to think about when considering carrying. Thanks!
I also carry a mini cleaning kit I got it at Walmart and it’s about the size of my palm. I’ve needed the rod when I had a miss fire that stuck in the barrel. It also has 5 screw tips that has been a big help
Wish mine was that small sometimes when i go . I can never decide what to shoot that day so i pack up a little bit of everything plus ammo and other gear 😂
Great tips. Especially the first aid suggestions. I keep first aid kits in all our vehicles and a smaller version in my range bag. I need to add a tourniquet now. I used to use staples to put up paper targets but a friend suggested painters tape and I have been using that for a number of years. Just have to be sure and not use the "easy to remove" kind. I find the old school tan colored tape to work best.
Thanks for the video! You should try getting some New Skin (liquid bandage)! I love it- It’s also got an antiseptic in it so its a quick all purpose bandage that will keep your hands blissfully bandaid free and helps seal from possible infections.
Spyderco use a dozen different alloys. The yellow handle means you have a rust resistant alloy for marine use, FWIW. I've tried LOTS of ear plugs, and still find a good pair of Peltor (3M now) cans give the best protection, over them, with room for big ears.
Wow, I'm thinking that your bag must be pretty heavy. I'm just getting in the gun world myself and I'm trying to figure out what I should put in my bag. I like the idea of a first aid kit as that's something that I need to do. Probably one thing that I would add to your bag is a baseball cap. The visor part protects your face from shells that are flying out of your gun.
I would add a multi set of allen wrenches ( for adjusting sights, lasers and scopes) A skinny metal rod with a few patches and attachment (for dislodging rounds that may get stuck and not extract, and the patches to quick clean down the barrel in between- when shooting "hundreds" of rounds {it will help with accuracy consistency!} Also a small bright flash light (include small container of batteries for light and laser replacement!) Add also a Bottle of water and a snack bar. Happy shooting, love your channel.
Hi Stav. Been enjoying your vids. I looked up the ear plugs that you’re using and they have several versions. It seems like the ones they call “Acoustic Filtered Plugs” Might be the best ones for the range. Is that what you’re using?
Electronic hearing protection. A Timer by Pact. Extra fiber optic rod and cigarette lighter. A large roll of masking tape for the targets. Batteries. Small bottle of glass cleaner. There is a rod sold by Dillon for knocking out bullets from the barrel if you have a bad cartridge and the primer goes off without the powder. Cleaning rod to check if you have an obstructed bore. You have everything else. Good job. Thanks for your support.
Have first FA on order... As a Freddie Frugal and living in SoCal, it is the ridiculously wrong time to be buying 9mm ammo... Can I fill a mag with dummy bullets and run them through my soon to be G19? Do they eject proper? Never thought of that to get familiar with handling the gun short of heading out to range.. I have shot Glocks at the range before, not completely new to firearms...
You should be able to purchase a staple gun at almost any hardware store - ACE Hardware, Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc. The brand Stav showed in the video is “Stanley.”
I’ve been shooting for decades, but I nearly quit because loading mags is so hard for me as I’m getting older. 😫 The mags for a Shield EZ are designed with a small black “tab” that sticks out on each side of the mag, at the top of the internal spring. Stand your mag up vertically on a firm surface like your thigh or a shooting range bench. Place your thumb & index finger on the 2 tabs & press both tabs down at the same time, which compresses the spring inside the mag. Load a round. Press down further & load another round. Continue until you have loaded the desired number of rounds or until the magazine is full. Loading mags doesn’t get any “EZ-er” unless someone ELSE is loading them FOR you. 😂 Hope this helps! The ease of racking the slide and loading mags without needing an UpLula mag loader are 2 features that I really like about my Shield EZ 9mm. 🔥💥💖
Probably already down in the comments somewhere but I always bring a package of handwipes, and a expedient cleaning kit with rod. Had to tap someone's round out of the chamber once, too long COL. Trash bag. Went electronic hearing protection years ago, recommend highly. Your boyfriend being an instructor, should be able to give you all the reasons. If you're an instructor or RSO, I view it as a requirement now.
I can only say and you may do this any ways because you are a you tube nut ha ha. But maybe some type of camera and SD card extra batteries for the head gear my shooters ear muffs take AAA batteries. Take care enjoy the videos. oh yes and some light cash and change for sodas or bottled water.

Thank you so much for the support!! I was lucky enough to be taught be a female and now I get to pass it on =]
Umm,....are you single???......my guess is theres no way you are.
And is that a pandora bracelet? Lol

Deleading wipes are important too. I also like keeping an overshirt and hat for minimizing lead transfer to hair and clothes.
Great tips!
I carry the lead wipes but it's such a huge container. Can regular wipes provide the same benefit?

It would be nice to see your items in the bag and how the bag looks with you carrying it. Thanks for sharing!
I have a staple gun in mine--- for putting up the target paper.
So did she. In a nice zippered case.
I keep a staple gun and extra staples in mine as well
I keep a small mallet and a sturdy cleaning rod in case I have a squib round lodged in the barrel that needs driving out.

I have a flashlight in the rangeback. For the different calibers extra boresnakes, little bit oil and tissues.

Love the video! Very informative. I also keep a thin pair of gloves that I can shoot with in my bag. Ranges get cold. :)
That's a great idea! Too bad mittens aren't practical at the range... ;-)
Thanks for the video. Those dots are what I have my kids shoot, those and Cheerios. They love to shoot Cheerios, but not at an indoor range.
Very interesting and informative information
Try peacock pocket warmers.

Why DO you go there? :-P
Gosh i feel blessed. Outs is indoors & theres an entire gun store inside as well as a restaurant AND a bar lol
I also bring baby wipes,rags,q-tips,and a hammer and dowels for squibs.
Thanks for sharing the info. Very useful for us beginners.

It surprises me how many people do not carry first aid equipment with them when they shoot🤷🏼♂️
I just took my first class a few days ago and this was one thing the instructor DRILLED.
Great comment. A trauma FAK is a must have at the range.
Wish mine was that small sometimes when i go . I can never decide what to shoot that day so i pack up a little bit of everything plus ammo and other gear 😂

I have that same bag. I used it for every day and a range bag.
i know you keep extra ears but don't forget extra eyes and for some summer days sunscreen, bug spray and hand lotion
Spyderco use a dozen different alloys. The yellow handle means you have a rust resistant alloy for marine use, FWIW.

water bottle and cliff bars just in case you get dehydrated in the summer and if your blood sugar goes low which can effect your aim and shaky hands
Maglula loaders are the best!
I'd like to see the field bag where you put the backpack that holds the range bag.
Was that bag designed as a range bag or did you repurpose it? Also do you happen to know the model number
I have that exact bag 👍🏼
OMG ! a stapler AND Electrical tape!!!! i would get into soooo much trouble,the possibilities are almost endless,LOL.
🤣🤣✔️
very helpful thank you.
I had a hot shell case go down around the top of my safety glasses it burned for a little while. Maybe a pair of goggles.
Ouch!
I currently use a SOG range bag. I might switch to a backpack after watching this video. The backpack seems more ergonomic
Good stuff.
I also keep a pair of leather gloves in my range bag. I find I'm much more comfortable wearing gloves while shooting at the range.
Hi.... I like the glasses, can you tell who are they by? thanks
At a firearms store, generally, or online. Be sure the safety glasses you buy are ANSI rated.
Have first FA on order... As a Freddie Frugal and living in SoCal, it is the ridiculously wrong time to be buying 9mm ammo... Can I fill a mag with dummy bullets and run them through my soon to be G19? Do they eject proper? Never thought of that to get familiar with handling the gun short of heading out to range.. I have shot Glocks at the range before, not completely new to firearms...
Do you keep a gun cleaning kit? Real nice vid. Thanks
Binoculars. Some people can see well. Others really wish they could :-)
love that backpack, but I dont think they have that 1 strap bag anymore
I keep a small flashlight in my bag.
Some type of Leatherman or multitool.
Nice bag
How much does the bag weigh with all your gear inside?
Good question!! It depends how much ammo I'm bringing to the range that day :) I usually just carry it from my car to inside the range!
Do you have a link for that trauma kit? Thank you! ;)
I'm not gonna lie but I got interested by the things that are in your range bag
Can you tell me what brand/model your holster is? I also have a Shield and need a good holster to use on the range.
She has several. She has other videos on her holsters that I think would be super helpful. I also have a Shield.
What about gun cleaning kit?
Hi whats brand is your mag loader
Hi
Can you please send me a link for the stapler gun you have with case.. thanks
I carry all that trauma gear in my range bag in addition to hy-fin chest seals. Good video thank you
Agree. 2 chest seals in every kit.
What are the brand of your glasses??
Hello. No sure if you’re still responding to old videos but where did you get the staple gun? Would love to get one for my range bag.
You should be able to purchase a staple gun at almost any hardware store - ACE Hardware, Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc. The brand Stav showed in the video is “Stanley.”
... I like the red ones top left.. 👠👠😊😊
You are a Doll
And if you're at the range:
"Do you have your gun at you?"
"No, it dont fit in my range bag"
Well I usually have my gun on my body. Any other guns I bring either fit in this range bag or in my secondary bag.
@@SheEquipsHerself
If its possible to carry the gun :)
How many times a week you suggest to go to the range?
Carbon Lux what level are you at right now? And what is your goal?
What mag loaders do you use? I have a S&W M&P Shield EZ 9mm and I struggle with loading my mags :( thank you!!
uplula

Cleaning kit?
I have those plus lube and microfiber towels
I would add gloves to medical first aid kit
I have had people recommend including the Lead Off wipes. Do you ever use them?
Really. I also have the lead hand and body soap and detergent for the clothes I dedicate to the range.
Best med kit?
Loading mags with frozen hands isn’t fun
