no mods at all . we got lost a little so its not all trail 1 . we were lucky too find some people to guid us back to the parking lot. great first time , really tests your skills. it was not to muddy so we only needed to put it in low a couple times.
Keep up the great work - amazing video! Greetings NASAR Netherlands Country Coordinator
Is there a reason you didnt tap into the acc fuse? Wouldnt that enable to use the lights with just 1 key press, and then still allow use while ignition/driving?
@@tylourdaubert6176 with the fuse I tapped into I still can access the lights with 2 key presses even if the car is still off. I’m sure you can use the acc fuse but I pretty much never use the light unless I’m driving so this method works for me. With the fuse tap I have I can always experiment with different fuse locations so maybe down the road I can try the acc fuse.
I love your detail! Nicely done!
Thank you for this !
Great Video ! My Watch EDC is a NATO style watchband with an Automatic watch that is EMP proof and you do not have to worry about over winding ! Also on the watchband is the Suunto clip-on button compass that is a great back-up compass and is the one I use the most ! In the State of New Mexico you may need a seat belt cutter/AF seat belt webbing cutter to rescue the pilot and/or crew of aircraft (or alien space craft)... ! Remember "The Ten Essentials" by the Seattle Mountaineers ! tjl
Is there options to make them into strobe mode?
Unfortunately not on the model I got. If you get the Bluetooth version that connects to the app on your phone, you would be able to set strobe patterns.
@@jarridgordon2155 Ah~. Thank you so much!
You have several sub-kits packed which makes for good organization in your pack, but I noticed that most of them are in pouches made of heavy cordura. The CPR and First Aid kit needs to be protected, but your clothes and hygiene kits could be placed in a lighter set of stuff sacks, like the REI lightweight nylon ditty bags, which would save you ounces and take up less space in your pack. Just a thought, I know that ounces over miles become heavy. Thanks for volunteering! I had great success calling out our local S&R Team when I worked in LE. Fantastic people.
Yeah I agree! I will definitely be looking at new packing cubes/stuff sacks . Currently I just used what I already had laying around. 👍🏼
Excellent pack! Greetings Robin!
It's been a while. How are they holding up and does water get in when driving down the highway?
So far so good. I’m in AZ so I haven’t had many rains to test it out in. The main advantage for me is the extra sun blocking effects and the ability to leave the windows cracked.:)
Of all the videos, I actually found this one the simplest to understand. Every other video drags out and adds extra fluff, but this was straight to the point. Thanks!
Thank you. I try to give as clear of overview as I can because I know how hard it is to sift through all the tutorials on CZcams to find that one snippet of info you need. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@jarridgordon2155 absolutely, my only question is you mentioned you didn’t tap a fuse in the fusebox of the engine bay because of the protrusion and inability to seal the cover on again. Is that the real why you punched through the grommet to the interior for acc mode fuse instead?
@@richieewinns yes the accessory power fuse tap and the switch controller cable both ran through that grommet. Even if I figured out a way to tap into the engine bay fuse box I still would use that grommet for the for the switch panel control wire.
Wynex offers a lot of molle stuff at more affordable prices. I just ordered a chest rig to add to my SAR kit. Thanks for the video, will be using to build my rig
15:18 Nice video with some good ideas like the headlamp positioning. I am not active in Search and Rescue but as a first responder in Germany. If possible exchange the black gloves by some blue or purple ones as used in ERs or by EMS. In bad lighting conditions (e.g. at night) you can not distinguish between blood or other fluids with black gloves, e.g. if you swipe the body in rain, or the body is full of sweat. With blue or purple gloves you can recognize blood immediately by its darker color. Greetings from Germany, Christian
Great tip I didn’t think about the glove color. Will definitely swap these out soon👍🏼
Nice video. Like the gear!
Great stuff. I would keep that helmet as a souvenir. And get another one to wear everyday. One day when you're older you can have that as a memory.
Small can of spray paint and a telescoping magnet
Very interesting items I like the spray paint idea. May I ask what you use the telescoping magnet for?
@@jarridgordon2155 If you drop something. Something far down you need to reach you can tether it to Paracord or whatever kind of cordage you have and fetch it. They weigh basically nothing and are worth their weight in plutonium
Was your red accessory wire long enough to go into the cab? Mine isn’t nearly long enough
I didn’t add any extra wire. It just barely fit as you can see in the video. You just might not be able to rout it super clean. I just routed it for the shortest distance. The fuse tap does add a couple extra inches so that helped some.
Nice review
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Stage your tourniquet. So you can use it one handed. And get a bright orange one. You're not trying to be tacticool. You're trying to safe lives. And when you need that thing you're going to be in a very stressful situation where seconds can make a difference. You do not want to drop it and then have to waste valuable time because it's black and it fell in the shade. Get a better radio then a baofeng UV5. It has no end filter and will have no reception if there is a strong TX on nearby frequencies. Keep the Nagoya or get a Signal stick. For radio's I would recommend an Icom or Yeasu. I run a FT5D it has onboard GPS, APRS, lockable touch screen, has a end filter. And is overall a much better radio. Your life may depend on it. So you want it to work. Lose the blade in the front if you ever run into a crack addict you risk getting stabbed with your own blade. As for knifes I run a Mora Gerber. But any Mora will do. It has a full spine.
Appreciate all the info. I did get a new tourniquet since this video. And it is a bright orange SOF® TACTICAL TOURNIQUET by tactical medical solutions. Thanks for all the info I will keep it all in mind when re evaluating my gear.
Jarrid! I think the most useful thing that you described in this video is one of those tips that we wouldn’t know, unless we were actually doing it, and that is the experience you and the team have had flashing the headlamps at each other, and how you decided on a workaround for it to have an attachment on your chest rig instead of on your head. If you have more insight like that, I think that would be a fantastic way for you to share and again a lot of attention! I myself just subscribe to you so that I can watch for them.
Any issues with it?
For search and rescue equipment, bright colors are preferred rather than military.
Definitely agree. However it is sometimes difficult to find bright orange chest rigs. We wear orange shirts and jackets as part of our required uniforms.
You can get patches, high vis reflectors, and marker lights that are molle compatible
How loose is your breaker and the switch controller on the fuse box. I just put mine in and while the smallest and medium screws work it’s not super firm which worries me when I take it off roading. Also how did you mount the switch in the cab without drilling? I’m assuming Velcro?
I agree with you on the heavier pack...I use the Gregory baltoro 65 and it carries weight so well...I'm in the 25 to 28 lb area depending on how many days I'm out and it is so comfortable...Rated for 50 lb I barely can tell I'm wearing a pack at 25 lb...
Yeah fully packed with water and food this pack gets to just over 25lbs And still is very comfortable because it holds everything close to my center of gravity.
Nice setup. What brand jacket are you wearing?? I think if there was a chance of having to spend the night I’d add a small ziplock of instant soups, oatmeal and one of those woobie military poncho liners that you could use with that tarp. Also I’m always curious how people can participate in search and rescue working a full time job? Tks for another good video!
It’s my favorite light weight Hunting/SAR jacket. Orvis PRO LT Softshell Jacket. Good call on the poncho I’ll look into it, if it doesn’t take up to much space I might add one. As far as food goes you are correct 👍🏼 I didn’t add any of the food I normally take in this video because everyone’s diet is so different and I didn’t want to suggest anything specific. As far as volunteering with a full-time job, it pays to have a remote job,that’s flexible with your hours. But even if you don’t majority of callouts are in the evening or at night and on weekends, so you still might be able to contribute even with limited hours. Some companies and managers are OK if you tell them ahead of time that you are part of search and rescue and that you might need to leave work or start later randomly throughout the year since you are on call.
How does it work with the callouts??? Do you meet at a central location then all carpool to the search location??? You said that sometimes helicopters are used…that’s pretty cool. I did search and rescue for awhile back in high school with the sheriffs dept but never had helicopters in the mix. How long do you have to get going once you get a call??? Sorry for all the questions…pretty interesting stuff and much more involved/technology than when I was a volunteer back in the 90’s.
It all depends on the the team. Private or with the sheriff. Most of the time a call out is initiated by some sort of mass communication I.e an app, calls, texts email, whatever that team uses. The call out will include the location of the command post normaly at a nearby trailhead where the person was last Seen. You then respond to the coordinated or in the app when your ETA would be and they will start planning a course of action and create search areas for teams once they arrive. Helicopters come in to play if the agency or team has access to them. Not all do. If the victim is very remote like suspected to be 5miles or more from the trailhead or road access then they will sometimes use a helicopter to drop teams in the remote search areas instead of wasting time and energy hiking to the search area.
Thanks for the review and your time volunteering with your search and rescue team!!! Have you been on a search yet where you had to spend the night out in the field?
I have not had to spend the night in the field yet fortunately. Most cases that cause for spending the night in the field is if you are in a very remote area and weather rolls in and they are un able to send a helicopter for extraction and it’s to nasty to hike out. Most of the rest of the time the commanders are pretty good at getting teams back in and rotating.
Recommendation Flagging preferably lime green or orange and marker , a few chemlights for marking roads or significant locations, other than that I’m sure experience in your local area will fill in the rest
I will definitely message you in a bit as I’m looking to join SAR,
Just a suggestion may be you can add some chem light behind your chest rig or in front, just in case you want to be seen in the dark during rescue 🛟 I think the glow sticks/chem light will last for more than 8hrs but your lamp wont.
Funny that you mention that. I just got some glow sticks delivered yesterday and will be adding them to all my packs 👍🏼
I Love your video and it's very helpful looking forward to getting more tips.❤❤❤
Get a better chest rig. There is a reason the Hill People Gear ones are so expensive, they are built with quality. Just because they have a CCW pocket doesn't mean that is all you can use it for. I know a lot of people that use the CCW pocket to protect their valuables. That cheap chest rig will fail you and it will happen when you're on a mission and miles from your vehicle. Spend the money and buy quality. When lives are on the line - including your own - you shouldn't buy cheap gear.
Friend had that same lighter. The top part broke in his hunting bag. I like the Exotac bic Lighter case.
That’s good information to know. I’ll take a look at the Exotac case. Thank you
Wouldn’t trust Amazon for everything some stuff is reliable some stuff is not I would definitely not buy a compass from Amazon I would buy it from a outdoors shop that has a decent one
Since this video I did pick up a Silva brand compass from REI 👍🏼
Take a bread twist tie and put it underneath you’re a bic lighter button to keep it from an accidentally pushing down
Thanks for the tip I’ll give it a try 👍🏼
@@jarridgordon2155 I would also consider throwing a little monocular or scope like the Vortex in your pack. That way you can see further distances.
Nice informative video. Will utilize some of these ideas. Thanks 👍🍻
👍
Look into refuge medical
REAL gloves to protect your hands, hopefully will be in your backpack I also hope you got a louder/plastic whistle like a Fox40
Yes and yes to both 👍🏼
Difficult to say what I'd add since you also carry a pack. You operate in a different topography. And I don't know how your team is assigned. I avoid things being external mounted because of snagging in my AO vegetation. A larger rig may prove better later. But, looks like a decent start to build as you evaluate your experiences.
Soo, the mountian 600, I have the suede with red laces. I gotta say it fits so amazing. I've never had boots like sneaker weight and be so comfortable on long distances. Literally, no break in and no foot fatigue. Made is usa. Under 200. Comfort 10/10 durability 10/10 must have.
Good onya mate for volunteering and getting your gear setup.
danner mountian 600 boot.
Your radio may "work fine" with that flimsy antenna bent over to the side, but you should really try for maximum efficiency in the event you urgently need to transmit an emergency message. Get that antenna as high as possible and keep it there.
Agreed, I am still working on a better antenna system that should be more functional and hopefully more convenient.
laser pointer ( circle above for location )....whistle....isreal medical compress...turnique ( excuse spelling )...
first thing....im right handed so all my comms / torch / med kit etc are always regardless of rig on my left side .... muscle memory ....and leaves my dominant right hand for knife / weapon / defence.....placement and repeat practice counts....auto conditioned response counts
Be in the woods and can't carry. What a stupid department you work for lmao
Do you wish you had bought the hill people bag instead? I am looking at these.
My thought process was this. I have not used a hills people gear chest pack so keep that in mind. The Hills people gear chest pack is just to big for me, I’ve seen it on some of my team members, so if I did get one it would be the “SNUBBY” version. And even if you can find one in stock $130 was way to much for me especially since I didn’t know if I would even like a chest pack. Also the SNUBBY version doesn’t have any Molle on the front for my Mic and light to attach to. All in all my main decision came down to price and size. I wear this pack 90% of the time with my hiking backpack and I use the waist and sternum strap always so I wanted a chest pack that wouldn’t get in the way and would stay pretty tight to my body. Overall for what I use this pack for and the little things I keep in it I prefer the Amazon pack more and it’s 1/4 the price even with an extra radio pouch. That’s just my honest opinion without personally ever trying the HPG pack. Hope that helps 👍🏼
@@jarridgordon2155 Thank you for your advice. I have seen the hill people one for $99 right now. It looks pretty small. I agree for what you payed is pretty hard to beat for sure!
In our Sheriff sponsored SAR, we were issued back packs and fanny packs on harness. Both of these require a buddy to access anything on the move. A chest rig like that iS what most people moved to. Critical items in your working space. Support items in the rear. SAR is rewarding but rarely results in a happy ending. That may be the toughest part. Thanks for your contribution.
"Critical items in your working space. Support items in the rear." Simple yet invaluable statement. Will definitely keep this in mind when figuring out how to rearrange my chest rig.
Son, im not being mean, but you scare me. You should know your gear backwards and forward before going into the field. You dont know aby of yours, you keep looking at things to find out what they are. For the people you're trying to help learn what you have and every detail about it.
Thank you for your input and I agree. Started this less than a year ago and it’s a never ending learning processes. Will continue to practice and train. Everyone has to start somewhere. Luckily I have some very experienced members on our team that I will hopefully learn a lot from throughout the process.
@@jarridgordon2155 Thank you for being open minded and your civil reply. BTW a handgun fits very nicely in a chest pack. In the army I learned it was far more efficient to ask for forgiveness than permission. IE being able to shoot that dangerous animal than being consumed by it. Good luck and be safe
Thank you very much for the video it's very informative. I just ordered the six button for my 2021 TRD OR, now I'm second-guessing myself saying that the eighth button fits fine as well.
The 8 fits good. If I could go back I wish I did the RGB one just because I would like to be able to program the lights from my phone and make some of them have the strobe function. I think they also make an 8gang XL one, that one would probably be to big for the location I chose.
For your knife get a shock cord to make an additional retention device for it. When you need a knife and realize you dropped it is not a good thing. A sawyer mini with some gorilla tape wrapped around it and the dirty water bag for your chest rig might be better than the leatherman that you can wear on your belt.
Great recommendations thank you. I will look into those options👍🏼
