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.

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!
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
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!
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!!!
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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 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!
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).

Seems this advice is now essential in this world. Crazy times folks. Stay safe

Ankle kit in backpack, easy to take out if I leave the bag or there's a heightened threat level for some reason.

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.

It’s one of the back panels by HRT tactical.
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.

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.
