- It should be no surprise that just like so much of my kit and setups, I am constantly changing my everyday carry (EDC). This video is a walkthrough of everything I carry with me off duty both for my own convenience and to protect my family.
Would just like to mention that the crisp and clean audio quality and video editing make your videos really enjoyable to watch!
Thank you sir! A lot of effort goes into making these videos professional and clean
@@PrepMedic it would also be nice to have the vid in 4k!
right... this channel is far from being crisp or clean in any area
So glad you brought up improvising medical supplies. No doubt supplies are better than improvising, but knowledge and a creative mind can help lighten the load on what you carry on the daily.
Kudos on bringing up the importance of quality chest compressions over delivering breaths!
I was waiting for the coyote tan benchmade bugout/leatherman rebar haha. Like your minimal EDC and I think it suits your every day perfectly fine!
I would love to see your medic bag that’s in your car! Keep up the good work! Great video/audio editing and quality keeps increasing every video! Thank you!
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who uses the flashlight on the tactix 7. Straight up one of the best watches I've ever had. Love the video!
I’ve used a a blue alpha minimalist belt for years. Love it. No frills but works
If you like the 12-round mag on the P365 I can't recommend enough the Wilson combat P365 xl grip mod. it works with the 12-round cap mags and I have been using one for almost 2 years and love it. I always felt play with the lower portion of the mag and it bothered me. The gip texture is perfect on them also.
I'm pretty sure you can exchange your belt for a different size without any charge. Blue Alpha's customer service is really good. Nice realistic EDC!
The only thing I’d say is missing is a blade. I don’t carry it for defensive purposes, but if you do need to improvise some medical supplies or expose a patient, it’s worth carrying. It can also be used to rescue someone (especially if you have a glass breaker) or just for convenience (opening annoying packaging etc). I sometimes carry a Benchmade Triage, but now I often just take a Gerber EAB because it takes up no space, and I never have to worry about sharpening. Even a small keychain knife or strap cutter is adequate.
It's overkill, but I use the Benchmade AFO 2
Benchmade are enemies of the 2nd amendment, and donate heavily to Democrats who are anti-knife/anti-self defense types. So definitely a no-go there, forever. I carry the Exodus Knife & Tool Adventurecraft. It's awesome.
@@oldschooltakingyaback really!? I had no idea. Could you direct me to an article or keyword that discusses their stance?
@@oldschooltakingyaback Benchmade actually did a favor for a police department and it triggered a bunch of you alphas. Also I’m a democrat and not anti gun or knife. I’m just not paranoid that the government are coming to take my toys. I’m old enough to remember when it was way more restrictive to enjoy firearms; it’s never been easier and laws are expanding gun rights. So don’t believe the hype of the republicans.
@@oldschooltakingyaback Woah that's crazy, where have you seen this?
Really good video. I appreciate your honesty.
This is a great CZcams channel I have been watching it since a 8 year old child I’m now 13 and wanting to become a swat paramedic you have truly helped me and inspired me thank you prep medic thank you
i laughed so hard when you blurred out the mag being inserted into the gun 😂
It’s ridiculous isn’t it?! CZcams will give me a strike if I show that 🤦♂️
@@PrepMedic
Whats the deal with that?
According to them loading a weapon is “modifying it” so it can’t be shown.
@@PrepMedic so unloading it isn’t modifying it?
M&P Shield 9mm for me......I've had it for years. Added a tourniquet to my first aid kit a while back. Enjoyed the vid.
That is really good, you have to do what works for you!
I slimmed down everything too. I got same watch but regular version. LCP Max in a pocket holster. Leathermen Signal. LTC pocket medical kit. Everything is nice compact. I too used to carry a big glock 19. Now everything I carry weighs less than it alone.
Awesome content as alway. And I gotta say, the stache is a good look!
Diggin the stache man! Also love the updated EDC minimalist carry
This has got to be the best channel for edc. Meaning everyday carry not carry for shtf every day carry 😅.
This channel was awesome showing your daily life as a flight medic. Like my friend who is a sponsored fisherman and gotta whip the “boat” out. You inspired me, now you just show how much money you make when people like me comment
Great movie, thanks 👍
I think tape is a good option for light EDC in addition to the gauze; has a million uses including bandaging if you don't have a proper med kit.
Pro tip: Magguts makes a +2 round extension for the p365 magazine that does not increase the profile of the magazine substantially. This would increase your capacity to 14+1. I can confirm that this will not impact the magazine performance either. It does this by replacing the internals of the magazine, and on the 12 round magazine it adds between 1/8 and 1/4 of an inch to the bottom of the magazine.
Money well spent!
Was going to mention this as well. +1. Gotta go Magguts.
grateful for this content
Love the minimalist style
I have a fenix 7XSS and love it. I can’t believe how much I actually use the light on mine. Coming back into the bunk room not waking the rest of the crew up etc. I’m a ground pounding medic so I don’t need the tacticool tactix, not being a flyboy and all.
I love the simple and small EDC. Some guys like the go out like they are Batman and it's just not needed. I keep a lot of equipment in my truck, but thats my mobile base lol. Great vid, again love the short and sweat EDC, keep up the good work brother.
The Garmin tactix was a game changer for me haha. I was worried about the price, but holy cow I use the crap out of it for running, gym, etc. AND that light is clutch.
Battery life is stellar on that watch. Cool video.
Love the hack squat. I herniated some discs and barbell squats wreck me.
Rocking the mustache, good on you!
Lifeproof my guy. Never had a phone break on me. I use the FRE
One nice thing I’ve heard about lights that stick past your barrel is potential mitigation of an out of battery failure in extreme close quarters, say if they jump on you
Love the new edc load out. I think the last one I watched seemed like a lot of stuff but this seems much more manageable 👍
I personally went with a Casio 5000u watch with MB6 and Tough Solar.
Kind of an ease of mind thing that I pretty much never have to think about setting time or changing it as long as I go outside with the much one day a month.
Such a good video! Quality is unreal!
Thank you! A lot of effort goes into these videos.
Good choice in the p365. I had one and while it was amazing to conceal it was a little to small for me to shoot consistently so I went up to the 365xl. I have been contemplating on trying the xmacro frame on my xl slide and fcu. I believe the 17rd macro mags come with baseplates that make them work with the 365 and 365xl as well.
The 17 round mags do come with baseplates and fit the 365. I’ve got the 17 rounder in my 365 right now.
Have the Xmacro tacops and love it. Especially that it came with 4 mags. Enjoy your sig!
I also have the 365 X Macro Tacops and really have enjoyed it. Very easy to conceal high capacity and fit and function is perfect for me. 4 mags was a huge bonus. It’s my third striker fired handgun and has a great trigger my other two were polymer striker fired but really sucked so I sold them shortly after buying them due to being cheaply made. But the X Macro Tacops checks all my boxes so after several months training with the 365 it’s now my go to for daily carry.
A few years back I bought Magpul’s DAKA bifold wallet. Best wallet I have ever owned. Never have to worry about the wallet get wet, oily or bloody. Never have to worry about it stretching. Never have to worry about wearing out the welded seams. I carry it in my front pocket. I think you will love it! Side note, I also keep a R.A.T. tourniquet on me at all times too.
I'd reconsider that RAT if I was you. It's not T3C approved, it's a pain to apply tight enough to stop major bleeding (especially if it gets all slick with blood) and tends to come loose easily. They also have extremely high occlusion pressure and are even more painful to wear compared to a proper TQ.
If you want to stick with the gold standard then a SOF-T Wide can be folded down pretty compact (check out Mountain Man Medical for a good video on how to stage them). You only lose a bit of "self-appliability" compared to a CAT.
Or you can go with a SWAT-T, they're more compact than a full windlass TQ and just a little more bulky than a RAT. They're also not T3C approved. Application is still a pain and self-application is really only possible on your legs but you can combine them with gauze or a shirt to make a pressure bandage as a bonus.
I use that Vedder Holster as well. Had to remove the claw though. Kept gouging my knuckle when drawing. Almost got the Sig but the SA Hellcat felt better in my hands.
Great stuff!
Great video!!
Love to see more folks going to the P365. Fantastic concealed carry pistol and with the modularity you can turn it into anything in the world. A lady on the local PD is carrying it on the job with the XL slide and optic.
Yeah, a lot of PDs have authorized it for plain clothes duty carry.
ICE has also gone to SS P365
I also carry a small sachet of sugar in my pocket. A few grams of sugar can help a lot in many situations.
As a trained medical professional, it may be appropriate for you to carry some pharmaceuticals as well. Just the basics for serious events. Glucose or sugar for insulin/diabetic crisis, some uncoated aspirins for coronary syndrome and some Benadryl or epipen for anaphylaxis. And of course Narcan. You could fit all this stuff in a sleeve smaller than your packing gauze.
So use you to seeing your g19 setup! Good choice for the sig
i thought that i recognized horsetooth rock in some of the B-Roll. cool to see a channel from someone local!
Awesome vid! Let's see that car kit!
Looking good🎉
My edc is a P365X with Wilson Combat Grip Module. I down sized from a G19, too.
Your pilot must love those lights on the watch while he’s flying 🤣
You are amazing
I enjoy these vids
Great content
Love your videos, just found your channel, slowly learning what to pack in my med kit, would like to know where I can get some good training, had first aid training in the military and as a security guard and correctional officer, but want to learn more?
Magpul iPhone case. Tough for drops, slim profile , last years and very nice looking. Has the grip of an AR mag and colors variety are awesome.
But it doesn’t attach to a plate carrier
Honestly I think muted color wallets (or black) are less practical, I have a bright neon orange wallet and its great. Alway easy to spot in the bottom of my bag or if I misplaced it around the house. I haven't lost it yet in the woods or while camping but I think my odds are a lot better at finding it.
I EDC the P365 Spectre Comp and it's an amazing gun.
I’m Really liking my Kore belt !
Could you do a review of your running vest please. Thanks love the reviews!
You MUST try the Tenicor zero belt, it's awesome! NO buckle and simple to use and adjust.
You're my beacon of light
Thank you
Love your channel I have learned a a lot watching your vids!Quick question can u use paraffin gauze dressing to pack a wound if needed?
I really like my Kore Essentials ratcheting -type belt (does have a buckle) because it's even easier to make those fine adjustments. I empathize with wanting to stay minimal as much as possible and I am picky about what I carry too, but I do carry a light (I like the Streamlight Microstream USB) because a phone or watch light just doesn't have the same throw and usefulness. And I always have a knife and small multi-tool (Gerber Dime or Leatherman PS4). I use these often enough to keep having them on me. Especially a knife. I like replaceable razor blade-type knives (I have an Outdoor Edge Razor-lite and a Coast DX126 folding utility knife) because I don't like sharpening a lot, I cut a fair bit of cardboard, and I almost never need a more robust blade for me personally. Have a Gerber EAB and it's good but I don't like needing a screwdriver to swap blades and having the potential to lose a tiny screw, and the Coast has a push button that makes it super quick and easy. Have a Flipside 4 wallet. My Samsung Galaxy watch quit charging and I never used the extras on it and am looking for another watch. Pistol is a Glock 27 with a TLR-6. Old school at this point but I have my reasons.
Kore Essentials is the best EDC belt on the market as far as I'm concerned.
Congratulations on so many subscribers, went 4x really fast
nice job !
I think your EDC is terrific. What these commentators don’t understand is that your cute/neat gadgets are only good if you have them when you need them. With skinny jeans😂 so popular, you start adding the kitchen sink, you will unload your pockets whenever possible, thus negating “C” in EDC.
I like the phone case/tactical carry for it. I’m gonna order it for my work phone. 👍👊🏼
Recommend Kägwerks EUD case, less bulky, easier to fit in a pocket; and have the same level of protection as the juggernaut case. It can attach to the ATAK system on the front of the plate carrier as well…but not sure if they support i13 tho.
I’ll take a look at it, thanks for the suggestion. Last I looked they mainly had ATAK stuff but I’ll see if they expanded to iphones
@@PrepMedicthey did expand to iPhone but this far only iPhone 12
Great information. Can you please built EDC list with links
As a swiss citizen I am so glad you saw the superiority of SIG lol 😜
get the mous case, super easy to take it out and in. ive dropped it more than i wanted from all sorts of heights and different terrain. nothing happened to my screen. also if your case is popping out your screen protectror get the soft version.
Good video. Just watched another content creator's 'complete' EDC video and your minimalist EDC is far more complete. Agree with all your point - but IMO you need a dedicated flashlight. Thanks!
Have you had a look at the Peak Design Everyday Case, the Creator Kit and the Capture Clip? It's more parts but less bulk. Maybe you get the Capture Clip to work with your plate carrier?
I have a 43x with s15 mag so I get 15+1 in that small form factor. Highly recommend that setup.
Thanks! I have a 43x as well and didn’t know there were 15r mags available for it.
S&S Precision has their NavBoard series of plate carrier phone mounts which are pretty good from what I’ve heard. They work with any phone case.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into them
I own a couple of P365 versions. Also have the Sig M17 and the Sig M18 because I’m a Marine and the M18 replaced the Marine Corps issued Beretta.
That 32" waist flex!
So, about case mounted to plate carrier, i use kydef from gtw gear, its slickest then juggernout so its easier for me to take a magazine, GTW just giving you a velcro patch with some havy 3m glue to mout on any case you want
Yeah I tried that belt and got rid of it. I wanted to like it for the feature you mentioned but mine kept un strapping when my left arm brushed it.
Idk if you knew or not but for the tlr 6 your able to turn off the laser if you only wanna run the all you do is hold either side down and tap the other to go through each mode
I carry a Glock 23 or G42 with an extra mag, OC spray in a belt pouch, a self defense knife and a pocket knife and the new EDC TQ on my belt.
I think the only thing missing is a spyderco pm2 & you’re Golden 💯
I’m glad I found your CZcams channel. Very informative! I have my conceal carry permit and carry everyday along with a knife, OC spray, a flash light. But now I’m looking into adding some medical into my EDC. I live in a pretty rough city with a lot of crime and want to be prepared. I tend to carry a fanny pack rather than a purse, and being a woman I also wear tighter fitting clothes. What would you suggest I add to my EDC that would fit in a fanny pack?
With all that, just rock the fanny pack with the combat gauze
Nice stache man! 👍
check out pilgrim munitions for defense rounds. a lighter round and actually collects the guts and not fly through
Hellcat/RSMc. Spare 13rd mag. 5.11 TMT AAAx2 flashlight. Benchmade CQC7. Lighter. Paracord bracelet. G-Shock Ironman. Level III vest in car behind the seat.
Love the p365, I bought the p365x a about a month ago, had a about 8 failure to return into battery the first 200 rounds, my gun came very tight tho, after the first range Day, I cleaned it and shot another 200 rounds the next few days and no malfunctions, great gun overall, even though I love my g19, glock really needs to make a competitor to the p365 series, the 43, and the 43x isn’t it
I also have a 365x. So far zero issues with it and about 1k+ rounds thru it
"glock really needs to make a competitor to the p365 series" They will. Right when everyone is ready to move on...
You can try quadlock as an case, they have mounts for almost everything
Nice VId! You just made me a new sub.
Greaty content, have you considered carrying at least a multitool? Seems like I use a blade on a daily basis. A Leatherman Free P4 multitool has been amazing for me for the last couple of years.
FYI Brotha Blue Alpha has a 30 day resize policy inside the USA. I run their 1.75" 2 piece belt
respect… being an pilot is my dream, although can only fly DJI 😂
The Juggernaut case + mount is about $280. The Unicorn Beetle case is about $25. The only thing it does t have that the juggernaut does is the ability to fold down.
the flashlight is SO useful on my fenix 7 pro sapphire
@perpmedic juggernaut has smaller cases available, the ENDVR is slimmer and may fit your plate carrier equipment.
Missed a few videos. damn, just look at that caterpillar
Welcome to the sig community. Smart man.
Yeah, used to run Sigs at the Sheriff’s office. Finally stepping back into it
I purchased the Garmin based on this and your in depth review. I tried to find the running watchband you recommend...but wasn't able to locate it. Could you provide a link?
My EDC as an off duty law enforcement officer. Just a normal pair of blue jeans usually, a tru spec all Velcro belt (had the same one for 4 years now works great off duty as well as on duty as a under belt), a tactical pen in my back left pocket for if I need to write something down or use it to break a window ect, POM OC spray in my left front pocket(have used it a few times on dogs and it worked fantastically), cell phone I place in my left front pocket as well(iPhone 14 pro max), code 118 wallet in my front right pocket(is is rfid protected), a pocket knife clipped inside my front right pocket(usually some type of otf or assisted blade). For my firearm I carry a Springfield hellcat concealed appendix carry on my right side( I’ve had to draw and use it once to shoot a dog that was attacking me), a old g shock watch on my left wrist, and lastly a spare magazine in my back right pocket, although I sometimes leave it out of my edc.
What’s with you and dogs lol, you wouldn’t happen to be atf?
@@Mawyman2316lol people in my city don’t understand keep your dogs in your yard on a leash or put up. So when dogs are roaming freely running up to me they are getting sprayed or shot either one. Only reason I shot one was because it caught me off guard and I dropped my spray, that dog had been attacking people in the neighborhood though and I had about shot it once before, because when I was walking to my car from my old apartment complex it was attack another gentleman.
@@carson4388 Not sure how I feel about your phrasing. "So, when dogs are roaming freely running up to me, they are getting sprayed or shot either one" that's absolutely horrific if they aren't also being aggressive (which I hope you assumed was implied). I have had dogs walk or run up to me and despite it being a bit of a shock, it's only ever been negative twice and I simply left their territorial zone (had to walk past their house) and they left me alone.
That being said the last one sounds justified at least.
I highly recommend getting MAGGUTS for the Sig 365, add +2 rounds to any of their magazines. IMHO money well spent!
I carry a Sig P365X with Wilson Combat grip, Sig romeozero and the same light, but soon I will upgrade to the light you have because i want the laser
