- An in-depth look at my lightweight kit that I use as a tactical medic. This plate carrier is designed to be used during extended missions, man hunts, and situations that require strenuous activity/increased agility for a prolonged period of time. Links below for all the gear mentioned.

Better yet, learn and execute.
"Hypothermia kills" especially in Colorado where it snows in July.
DAMN SAMS GOT THE FRESH NEW HAIR CUT! BEEN WATCHING A FEW YEARS OF YOUR VIDEOS THE PAST MONTH APPRECIATE THE INFORMATIVE CONTENT SIR! HELPED ME DECIDE WHAT I SHOULD AND SHOULDNT CARRY ON MY SETUP.
I’ve been using the Ferro Concepts cable management on my carrier. Seems to work pretty well so far. I like that PTT, definitely going to be looking into that some more.
Having a more dynamic cut up front and a bigger standard one on the back, never thought of that.
Cool to see another medic running webbing in the load out! Have a tactical soft litter mounted on the back of my kit as well
Hey Sam, a Juggernaut case for your phone might help. Good to see you still making great content.
Another awesome video
Thanks, very nice plates, good bless you
Cool carrier dude
Right on! Paramedic lead the way!!!
Tech has come a long way.
You're right, putting your blood type on gear isn't really necessary. But redundancy never hurts, especially in combat. I've always taken note of a casualty's blood type, even with all those other factors working for me. It helps prep me and others for what's coming in, and especially in the field, where a CASEVAC might not be readily available, every little bit helps. *I* haven't done it personally, but I've talked to guys that have done in field transfusions, and knowing the vic's blood type, but the blood type of potential donors helps cut precious seconds or even minutes off treatment. And we all know that every second counts. These days it's as easy as slapping a patch on a loop field, so why not do it? It's like a condom- you might not always use it, but if you need to, you'll be happy it's there.
My dude, your hair style is on point!! I wish my hair would look that good ;)
Nice video, keep it up ;)
This channel was a success ever since its very beginning. What research did you do and for how long before you started uploading videos?
I like ya cut g
Great video
keepin it slick
We work alongside PD and they all have their blood type on their vests. Which I always give them crap because of cross match and O- Policy... but it looks “Tactical”
Awesome video dude. I'm in nursing school at the moment but have always been interested in law enforcement. Are there positions like this for nurses?
Soft armor plates goes in the sides, for keep your gear light and you more mobile.

Okay so how would I go about doing a career such as this.
What would you carry when your off duty and not carry when you're going out to have fun
Shot Stop is awesome!
Love the setup, but if weight is a major factor, why not use the Crye Precision JPC 2.0 Maritime Swimmer's Cut with 8x10 plates?
The K9 Quick Reference
Looking at the M.S.P. for my active shooter kit but my issued plate carrier doesn't have Velcro on the front. Is there any other way for it to attach like molle? Thanks!
Nice
Do you trust those shot stop plates? Im on the fence to buy the shotstop g2 or the RMA lvl 4 lieghtweight plates
Hi Sam,I know you like to make your tactical load outs,but I was wondering if you can make an idea of a hiking first aid kit for Boy Scouts.The kit would have to be realistic in terms of price so Boy Scout Troops can get the gear.Nice video
Cat TQ, Z-Fold gauze, ETD, Sam Splint, Frog Tape, and basics (bandaids etc)
@@EBMisKing I would also add petroleum gauze (for campfire burns), A hypothermia prevention blanket, anti itch cream, antibiotic ointment, chap stick, tweezers, , ibuprofen, and something to address fatigue and dehydration like electrolyte gel with a shelf stable MRE/ Energy bar(s)
Moleskin and some hand sanitizer as well
Nice video!
Do you have any weapon for self-defence?
Please review more med kits
Hi Sam.
What do you think about chest rig over plate carriers???
Is that an alternative for you???
The two pouches you have on the front, are those LBX Tactical admin pouches?
Where would I be able to find your hanging med pouch attached to your plate carrier?
I think people underestimate the utility of some type of survival blanket. They weigh little to nothing, easy to carry 1 or 2. fit almost anywhere in a pack, rig or even edc and with such a wide variety of uses, it doesnt make sense to have at least 2 within some form of reach. I carry one in my simple edc kit and another 2 in my truck ice kit
Do those plates come in pairs or do you have to purchase both plates?
What’s your thoughts on ripshears?
FYI...none of those shotstop III+ plates are rated to stop a M855.
I'm having an issue with my ice plate. I have it mounted in the rear and I tried to wear it and my rucksack, but had to stop after a few hundred yards as the torque on my back was too great to bear. Other than removing the plate is there a solution?
Depends on how far you intend to Ruck, and where you are doing it. If you are not going overseas, don’t wear your plates, it does way to much damage long term to your back than it’s worth. If you are going overseas and for some reason you aren’t mounted and are leaving the wire long enough to require a ruck, then you need to pack it right.
If you are using the standard Issue Molle ruck that the Army uses, then make sure that you use the main compartment divider flap putting your sleep system and your night time essentials in the lower section packed loosely so that they will conform to the upper section when you tighten the bag. In the top you will need to start with compressible items such as spare clothing, then try to put the heavier items like mre’s and spare medical supplies and ammunition, crossloaded team items like the long range radio ect. towards the top. In the side pouches are where you put the items that you want to be accessible like pogie bait and hygiene. Then you flip your ruck and tighten as much as possible towards the top of the frame, so that majority of the mass will be on your upper back and shoulders, so that when you lean forward slightly while moving, it will be pretty much in line or slightly forward of your hips. Then when you put the ruck on, position it so the cummerbund is above your hips, tighten the load lifter straps on the upper part of the shoulder straps as much as possible after tightening the main straps, tighten the cummerbund to breathing comfort but remember that it plays a big role in making sure the sack doesn’t slide down, so you don’t want it to loose, same for the chest strap. Your plate carrier needs to be fitted correctly as well, make sure it is sitting high wear it protects your vitals, if it is too low or to loose, the sack will pull it down and torque your back, remember that belly isn’t supposed to be covered by the plates, just the stuff in your rib cage. The top of your Back plate should be at or slightly above the T2 vertebrae. Tighten it to breathing comfort. Keep the back and shoulders of the plate carrier clear, and limit what’s on your sides to what you need. Remember that all your equipment should be tightened so that it doesn’t interfere with adequate breathing but is still secure and won’t bounce around while running.
Ultimately unless you are SF or we go to a full scale war where light Infantry aren’t mounted during long distance movements, you shouldn’t be carrying a ruck while in plates for longer than 3 to 4 miles. you’ll more likely have an assault pack with the bare necessities like crossloaded equipment, mre’s and ammunition. Same principle applies, heavy items go to the top, light or compressible items go to the bottom, tighten so the weight sits high on your back and shoulders. If you are doing this for work, then remember to only bring mission essentials cause once’s make pounds. I strongly recommend that you you forget the plates if you are only exercising.
@@kiwisofmedic38b5 yes I understand that but the core ice plate pushes it too far off my back and causes it to torque
@@mclovin1033 If you’re just talking about the hydration device and not your full armor kit, then leave it off and pack it in the ruck. There’s virtually no reason to wear in that capacity. If you are worried about being cool during the march, then drinking cold water will do more than temperatures transfer could ever hope to. I wouldn’t even bother to wear that with my armor. On mission I just use a standard camelback filled with ice over or clipped on to my armor or on top of my ruck. God forbid, some Sergeant Major with a chip on his shoulder and jealousy of SOF, is looking to make an example of someone and catches me at the water buffalo with my armor off in order to refill it. And it certainly isn’t worth risking back injury. Those things were made for police SWAT teams that aren’t going to be in combat for more than a day and are mostly stationary until they breach. They certainly aren’t made for operations where a ruck is required. If you’re still set on a external cooling solution, I’ve seen guys buy extended drinking tubes and weave them through their clothing.
I literally got one of you’re ads on you’re video...
Get some.
Do you carry a weapon as a paramedic?
Where is Paramedic in the team?
Great video as always but the hair 😱 you will be getting a contractors Kevlar beard next 😂👍🏻
Hahaha true patriotic beard
Is there somewhere you go for your patches? Id love to know because i want some custom patches
Patch Panel is my person preface. Canadian based company with numerous customizable patches available.
“Prepmedic” will get you 20% off from them as well. Link in the description
@@PrepMedic cheers mate, love the channel, you've inspired me to become a paramedic btw, my EMT course is in a few months
@@PrepMedic Wish I knew that! 35 bucks for a 6x3 ID panel is a little steep, but I was willing to pay the price, however with your code, I can feel better about ordering my 8x3 ID plate.
Do you actually use or recommend the safe life armour or is it just an ad?
Seems like an ad only, never seen him mention their armor in any of his setups, also i purchase a lot of body armor as i purchase for my department. So i can give honest feed back on that company, they are very very over priced on all their armor. Their main draw right now with consumers is their flexible hard armor. But the armor is heavier then standard plates, also the cost on that armor system is $2,000 for just the inserts, you could get 8 hard armor setups for that price. Also beware that any armor other then steel has a 5 year "expiration" date. so that's. Also the advertise that they are the only company that has armor that can stop the tasers, knifes/slashes and all that other stuff. That's a lie, their are many many companies that offer 3A armor with level 2 spike and slash for less then what they are charging, I'm wearing one now lol. I don't shop with their company due to price and due to the above dishonest business practices. Also never believe someone when they say "if I'm going to a hot call ill put body armor on" hahahaha you always wear armor no matter the call. I think this guy is a paramedic that was sworn in at one point for a small department and now is a "operator". I have watched a lot of his videos, he knows his shit when it comes to medical stuff. But when it comes to tactical gear, holsters, body armor etc.. he lacks knowledge. First tell tale sign of a lack of experience is his gear, have you ever seen anyone's gear look so pristine that's been on the job for a while? lol 4 months and any near gear i have is worn in lol but this guy must get a new load out every call hahaha Shop around, all NIJ armor is gonna stop what its required to stop. After that your just paying for brand,
@@jackberkheimer stop lying vaper.
@@jackberkheimer He does actaully use it, and he has been endorsing it for a very long time
@@jackberkheimer looking to get rifle plates for my carrier. What’s the best plates for the price with a LEO discount?
Nice haircut
As a civilian, where can I buy a entry vest? And who's would you recommend?
FirstSpear Siege R Optimized
Crye JPC
Ferro Concepts FCPC V5
If your looking for a plate carrier with plates, don't go off of these brands as a civilian. You will be paying a shit ton of money for something you wont wear everyday. You can get a set of level 4 ceramic plates curved for $240 at LA Police gear.com and a good entry level carrier from AR500armor.com the veritas lite for $65. So all together around $305 for a set up, this guys plate alone cost $400, that's just for the front plate! lol if he paid for those items (which he didn't) it would be a $1800 set up. For a civilian that's little over kill...
Jack B. 👈don’t listen to this guy.
Viu carpe confirmar te dou a resposta é simples com papel fofo e ai estava com o celular dele pq quando saiu o meu celular saiu do grupo e ai dei certo que 2metros desse e os contatos com 9
please tell me you show up to a manhunt with more medical supplies than that.
Well.... generally our special operations vehicle stocked as an ambulance, a street ambulance, and a pack (which I have several videos on)
WHY? Why would they waist O- blood if you already know your blood type? I thought they had a REALLY limited supply of O- blood.
I used to work in a level 1 trauma center. It’s more for the fact that they can’t trust a PVC patch on a vest to be 100% correct. Trauma pt. always get O neg first. We used to have a small fridge in the trauma bay stocked with O neg blood. I’m sure it would be a legal issue for the hospital if they gave the patient the wrong blood all bc the trauma team trusted what a patch said.
They can’t trust anyone outside of the hospital actually knows their blood type.
9:31 ahmen
Jarhead?
carrying armored vest and soft armor below it
God: that's illegal
Check out Yosemite Prepper on CZcams. He has prepping videos (I’m a fan)
What your unarmed......That kinda sucks! Seems like a liability to me.
unarmed swat medic man that must suck not making fun of you or anything, it just sounds like a bad idea lol I would rather have a weapon and sidearm than not have any firearms at all.
*Kinda sad that a paramedic has to own/use so many different types of body armor.*
*In the past the fact that it says "PARAMEDIC" on you was enough for people not to shoot at you.*
*Now more first responders are issued body armor.*
Well he is on the SWAT team, so he isnt using this while just out in an ambulance
@@HUNTER-ve3iw *Regular ambulance crews are issued body armor more and more.*
Lol unarmed? They dont let you carry a pistol? F that
