Sam I love your videos I really feel like I am reading a lot from you and really appreciate you telling us all of this stuff so we know what to do in a bad situation and can’t wait to see the next video 👍
I like it. I just got an Arbor Arms Medical Nut Ruck to try. Found the dangler setup I was using a little difficult to see in and all the contents could spill out in the floor. Figured I'd try a fanny setup that I can don and doff pretty easily. Everything is captured and can get laid out on the floor if needed. Fits pretty well over my pistol belt. We'll see how it goes on the next call out.
I think the thing about the deltoids and the additional armor is that, like older helmets, it's primarily for shrapnel protection. Whether or not they can protect against ballistics is circumstantial but that is generally the main principle for the extra armor (so I've learned.)
Thank you for sharing. I agree. I find I change/upgrade often myself and find that I am carrying less on me than when I started. However, my truck bag still seems to get heavier, ha ha.
Could you please do a review on the anti-choking device lifeVac. I would love to here your opinion on this I have see a lot of stuff about it and I’m thinking of adding this to my car kit.
The least they could do is let you carry a side arm, wont interfere with anything on your vest just adds a few things to your belt. Would be a lot safer even if they said you cant take it out unless you are in a life or death active treat against you.
The question is how often it is necessary to own a side arm for these medics. Considering that they move with an special trained unit that is heavily proficient in the usage of weapon. It is probably just dead weight hanging on your hip and therefor not needet
Any suggestion on where to get first-responder training at Alabama . I know there is the stop the bleed program . I would like to know how to utilize everything correctly . I do not want to hurt anyone further than what they already are .
If you’re under 17 or 17 get into a emt program sometimes high schools offer them. Then 18 take your nremt exam go to the army become a 68w start of as a e4 do reserves or active and do your paramedic course and rack up some years and you should be very skilled by 23-24 years and a bad ass like prep medic
Giving you this advice because I followed all those steps besides go to the army lol. I am going now as a 20 year old which isn’t bad look into it brother good luck
@@speakit3360 This is true. While I was in my senior year in high school at 18 I did an EMT program to get a head start. It sucked doing all of it at once but it was 100% worth it
@@Tommymad1 my old highschool is offering a bridge program to have pre requirements for paramedic so once they are out of highschool all they have left is the year of paramedic
@@speakit3360 wow, that's incredible. I wish my high school offered an EMT course built in to the curriculum. But honestly my 3 month class in combination with high school worked out well. 2 zoom classes and 1 12 hour skills session per week worked out great with my schedule
Do you have an extra battery for your radio? If not it might be a good idea since if you come home from a full shift using the radio and you get a call the last thing you need is to be out of battery in a bad situation.
I can’t believe you guys don’t carry at least a side arm. You dress in nearly the same gear as the rest of the team. Bad guys will probably not differentiate a medic from the trigger squeezers.
I agree. They should take advantage that there is another guy în the team with training în handling a weapon and let him carry one. În my head that would be logical
u rly want ur medic to pull his sidearm out and start shooting while ur on the ground bleeding out? his job to to drag yer ass to safety not return fire
Sam, thanks for the content. I have a question in your opinion, which companies medic kit would you recommend for the shooting range, such as dark angel, my medic, etc not limited to those specific but it could be from fieldcraft survival or North American supplies what’s your go to for shooting range and med kit to throw in a Jeep or truck to keep in a vehicle. Thank you.
Honestly right now focus on the resources they give you. Read your text book and take notes in class. That is as high yield as you will get. Once you get done with class you can look for other resources
They should definitely allow you to be armed with at least a pistol and preferably a rifle the bad guys aren't going to care you are the medic that's why military medics and drs are armed hostiles just see a uniform and a threat and a weapons system will allow you to be self sufficient in event a mci active shooter etc
I know this may be dumb, but honestly I am not a fan of cops, deputies or any type of Law Enforcement wearing camo. Solid colors like grey, green, blue or black fine I guess, but camo should be reserved for the military or civilians.
Not a criticism towards you at all, I have family in law enforcement and know you are at the mercy of your departments rules. That said medics being unarmed is a terrible idea. You don’t have to have a rifle or anything but if you are entering with the team you should at the very least be allowed a pistol.
I don't get the not allowimg them to carrying a weapon and still being allowed in the hot zone. Realistically, I guess it's fine. Most SWAT dudes won't ever fire a shot. Fundamentally it doesn't make sense.
Wow wow wait wait! You deleted my comment? Sorry but why? I m highly not recomended to use ballictic shoulder pads because if u needed to use your tourniquet i will fail! Or u need to dress up the TQ on shoulder before
I didn’t delete anything. Did you post a link with it? RUclips deletes things regularly. If I need to use a TQ it’s pretty easy to remove the arm armor.
@@PrepMedic To be honest, how much I have met with such variations in the provision of self-help and mutual assistance, all this greatly complicates the matter, no matter how easily it comes unfastened there. And make a video about this by the way) You have a lot of things on your channel, but it’s not about the technique of applying a turnstile. With and without gear. Basics are always important
Always cool seeing your TEMS gear breakdowns!

Fantastic!
PrepMedic!!!! I really want to meet you. When I grow up.
Liked watched and taking notes so my work is almost done

Being armed would allow us to be self contained and free up more team resources to deal with the original objective/suspects.
I'm From Thailand A Watching You Daily

Probably get a fresh battery start of shift.

Jurisdiction and liability issues. I agree with you for the record
They Carry in my County
As a Military Doctor I can say that during a conflict the Red Cross on you will be a primary target. Unfortunately.

Thanks for the video. Can you share what pouch you used for the soft stretcher on the back and how it is mounted horizontally? Thanks

Thank you.
can you do a video on the atlantic signal comms w/ iphone
Admin pocket, so your phone can catch the bullet before the armor 😉
What pouch are you running on the back for your patient mover?
What are some good resources for someone just starting out in EMS I'm taking my Basic right now and looking for some good study materials etc

First, love your videos!
What are you using for a light source to check pupil dialation?
Nice

Get some.
No stomach flaps? You'd think a medic would appreciate the advantage of not taking one to the gut and having a couple feet of it cut out forever :D

Civilians? Bro civilian’s shouldnt be wearing camo if they are not in the military.

Is this guy military?
SWAT medic.

Unarmed--pass lol
If your paramedic EMT why can't you carry a firearm
All due respect but they should seriously give at least a pistol for defense in the event of unforeseen circumstances...
Hey man can you send me some free medical stuff!
No

I agree multicam is for the military.
