- A brief overview of what I carry in my aid bag. This is by no means an instructional video, I just thought I would share what I carry in my aid bag. If you have any questions or comments let me know. I encourage you guys to go out and get some education about how and when to use some of the equipment listed in the video.
Nice to see how our cousins across the pond do things from a British medic perspective 👊
Being a US Medic, I also like watching the British medics on here showing off their kits. Really cool to see the similarities and differences.
Hey, make sure to keep your seals flat they have memory keep that in mind. And in the little pouch right under the front panel if you open it up and really look the is a bigger pouch that is sealed of by velcro and you can open that up and store stuff for example I store splints in there.
I called for an ambulance and it took them at least 20-30 minutes to arrive. Luckily I had Quikclot and I was able to stop the major bleeding by the time the ambulance got to me. the paramedics and even the ER doc was surprised. they never heard of Quikclot before. they were amazed how fast I got the bleeding stopped.
if it was not for Quikclot, I wouldn't be here today to personally attest to how important it is to have a hemostatic agent. whether it is celox or quikclot.
well done doc.
Great video! Keep up the good work.
Cheers from an EMS doctor/military doctor from Switzerland!
Thanks! I would be interested to see if your duty bag is much different.

If I find the time, I’ll do a video :-)
My pack is more or less the same. I have it organized a bit different, It comes with mash bags on both sides and I organized it according to the ABCD algorithm, with an extra „miscellaneous / diagnostics bag“ and „bobo-kit“. The big difference in the stuff I carry would be: Since I have some experience as an anaesthesiologist I carry some more i.v. medication (Fentanyl etc). I normally don’t carry a suture-kit (if I have to do sutures, I’ll do it at base/in the hospital/ have a extra suture kit that is vehicle based). I have also a few more chest seal’s (they can also be used on smaller penetrating abdominal wounds). Also in my kit: BurnFree (special burn gauze), stethoscope, kling film (from the kitchen) (it’s very good for covering abdominal wounds/large burned areas), eye shield, headlamp, penlight for diagnostics, pulsoxy (think I saw that in your kit as well), tweezers for splinters.
Oh, and I have to add the "dripdrop" :-) (very good idea)
I really like that you have EpiPens in your kit (something you hardly see in any other kits). In my experience (at least in training) it’s fare more common to run into someone with an allergic reaction than with a gun shot wund.
@@Tellminator a video would be amazing if it's not too much trouble.
I usually have a smaller bag on my person that has bandaid, allergy meds, tape, feminine hygiene, OTC meds.
Having RX is quite nice, but especially with narcs chain of custody and whatnot is a pain. We would usually get issued a small supply prior to going out on a non training mission or whatever.
Thanks for the comments!
@@davethehonestasian7175 is just watching a movie lol I think I
As a medic, this is a phenomenal kit. Do you carry a SAM Splint?
How did you like being a 68w in the reserves?
Thats funny. I found out that expensive medical equipment tend to grow legs and walk away. Someone walked away with my Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope before. $300 grew legs.
I agree buying cheaper stuff can work. as long as it does not compromise patient care.
Are you in the National Guard? I go to basic and eventually 68W training later this year!
I was in the reserves. And congrats, it's a ton of fun good luck!
where can I buy a backpack like this and what is the cost
This is an ATS M9 aid bag. Retail is close to 400 bucks. I'd check out surplus stores and airsoft pages on facebook. Lots of real deal gear for cheap. I paid 50 bucks because the guy wanted a tan one. My issued bag was ACU then we had switched to OCP so it worked out.
Dang does that bag have a NSN number?
It's a civilian model, but yes I think they had/have a contract. Its an ATS M9 bag.
Dave The Honest Asian right on thank you Sir!

Can you send me a bag like this please
Please, for your patients sake, go get some advanced training. At least review the training you've already done
I can attest to quikclot. it saved my life. I loss my balance and ended up and hit my head on a wall and cracked open my head.
