Rad intro, John, as usual. A little levity along w/ a dead-serious message on preparedness. No excuses for not having an IFAK w/ chest seal, TQ, hemostatic gauze or even the 'kitty litter' powder hemo agent. Whatever gets holes plugged, NOW. PS - Wow, man ...a most genuine thank you for pricing that IFAK so damn affordably. You're a class act, John.
@@TimMillard Indeed - and thank God for better hemostatic tech. I'm referring to the thousands (or more) of neglected, yet sometimes carried kits that are out there, potentially being the only thing between a dead pt or a live one. I always thought the kitty litter hemostatic was less than ideal.
Skinny Medic had a chest seal that had been folded for more than three years. Worked just fine. Most recent protocol is for vented chest seals anyway. So... don't worry about it if you have to fokd your chest seals. But I think this is a great step up from the next best from Blue Force gear. Great job WPS.
I agree with your opinion on medical shears! A bit of trivia. Those style of trauma shears originated during the Viet Nam Conflict. The medics wanted something cheap, strong,sharp and light. They will cut leather boots, a penny and paper. The original design was made in West Germany.
That intro was hilarious! That looks like an extremely well designed kit. I carry mine in a sling bag, not being kitted up every day. I'll take a good look at this!
He's a pandering, self-important for-profit patriot and alt-right Trumpster apologist. This fake patriot promoted Marjorie Greene, so we know Lovell is a fake patriot.
Hey, john- I was watching the news last night and they were covering the border. A shot of some BP agents showed an agent with this kit on his belt. Congrats on your success and a great product! Thanks!
Hey John, I'm an active duty combat medic and have an upgrade suggestion for the trauma sheers. Long story short a hook knife is a hands down better/faster tool for the job. I personally use the Benchmade Rescue 8 Med Hook. I understand that specific one is probably too expensive for non professional use. I can "trauma naked" someone in a fraction of the time using my hook knife. I'm a long time listener and love the channel. Keep up the great work. God bless.
I have one also and they work well. I always find that old worn out BDU's are a great way to train getting someone naked really quick. I always carry at least 2 pairs of shears because well you know
Do you feel the hook knife is intuitive enough to use for someone with low to no training? Like if you had to talk someone through it. What about using it on yourself? Also, I was curious about whether or not you think the exposed handles would pose a snag point issue for scenarios like vehicles?
@@SeraStaplz Thank you for the questions! Ok, as far as ease of use goes. My honest opinion from experience is that in any situation the hook knife is easier to use and does a superior job. As for the possibility of catching on things in a tight environment like a car. That issue may be there no matter what tool you use. With that being said. Many hook knives come with a sturdy and low profile sheath. That does a great job of holding it securely to whatever aid bag you're using. At the end of the day, whatever tool you train with is going to be the best for you. No tool is going to magically save you or your battle buddies live without training. I'm just suggesting that if you're serious about learning a first aid trauma skills set. A hook knife will serve you better in the end. Warrior Poets Forever!
I post this on every IFAK video I remember to. If youre not in a warzone with people who have already been screened and denied over diabetes... you need glucose gel in your med kit. Glucose gel comes in packets with 15g of glucose. 15g of glucose is the suggested dosage for hypoglycemic diabetic shock. And gel (unlike tablets) can be administered to an unconscious patient. Add glucose gel packets to your med kit. You will be around more diabetics than GSWs anywhere outside the military.
I love the concept of the trauma shears as the pull handle, unfortunately I do like having minimal retention inside as well as more room for a few other items. I like having the ability to attach the handle of ifak to something on individual (PC, Belt, Uniform, via carabiner) and not loose everything in it that wasn't used within those first few minutes of casualty care.
Reminds me of a budget blue force gear micro trauma now med pouch. I’ll definitely be picking one of these warpoet ones up to play around with and see what I can get to fit inside.
Thank you wpsn. You guys are killing it with your EDC lineup. I carry the War Poet and it's quite the bundle. I can't wait to order this for my bday. I'm sure I will be just as impressed as I am with your other products. Please keep them coming!!!
Wish yall had more in-stock before the video dropped. Went to buy one and all variation; already sold out. Better luck next time I guess, keep up the good work John and to everyone else at Worrier Poet Society, yall are doing a fantastic job!
@@noreastsportsman6499 it was a great interview and I love John’s advice and on life too. Just a great guy. A lot of great men on the channel with life advice and Christian guidance too.
Got several ifaks over the last month and this one is by far my favorite. Super low profile and extremely easy to access. Love it. Yet another awesome product from WPS
I love you and your wife. I don't much about you kids but I will conclude they are just like mom and dad. I am so proud of you. You have come such a long way from that training day atTactical Response with James Yeager. We miss him so much. You have been a one of my top placed to go since he passed. Keep it up and the people will come. Bless you.
Better quality than I’m seeing in Netflix right now and “IFAK around and find out”!! Best tactical video tag line of all time. I wear a few belts depending on what I’m doing so I went to a fanny pack, which honestly I over pack. I dig it because I only need one and I can radially pull it around to the front to dig through.
I think you just took the top spot away from the BFG MicroTraumaKit. Looks like it could easily fit a decompression needle and small tape as well. Nice!!!
Okay just to correct myself, the website does say that the kit is completely made in the USA. Still not going to be in a rush to give up my SOB, but I do have to say I'd be willing to give this one a try
John, Do you know that Refuge Medical does custom kitting and supports both Grindstone Ministries helping victims of natural disasters and Kaleb House which helped complete the Bethany House residential recovery facility for victims of sexual abuse and trafficking and is now building another one called Kaleb House. When I took some training from Refuge Training earlier this year, I met the owner and looked him in the eye. They're good people.
Yep, definitely a good value. Thanks, John I've been saving up for one for my belt. Didn't have enough quite yet but then you release this and I might as well pull the trigger now IFAK is invaluable when you need it.
Although I've got the blue force gear I've had on my belt for a while but man the tq and shears is very tempting to switch over, definitely telling my friends to get this
Nice price and one of the best I have seen. I’ll buy one but gray would be nice but I know not everyone likes gray. No matter ordering now. Bravo team Warrior Poet Society.
I have an HSGI bleeder/blowout pouch and it works pretty well for me. I have a TQ, Israeli bandage, scissors, and a bunch of large pieces of gauze in a silicone bag. Everything in the pouch is in water-proof packaging. I also have a complimentary rip-away pouch full of a bunch of stuff from another Israeli bandage and TQ to bandaids and mole skin. That is mounted on a leg rig for hunting/camping/hiking so it's always on me. But eventually I plan to throw it on a Shaw Concepts plate carrier pack.
From a Navy Corpsman perspective, smaller isn't better. This kit, like many others that are taking the " micro " approach, is better than nothing. But it leaves no room for error, and can easily be lacking in a severe bleed [ penetrating trauma ]. Yes, the IFAK is a one person kit, and the wounded individual should have his own, to be used by YOU on HIM. That said, there may be more than one hole, and that requires more than one item of gauze for packing and a covering dressing. Imagine the look on the face of the man you're providing aid to, when he discovers that you can't plug that second bleed in an opposing extremity because the kit you or he has is the smallest kit known to mankind. Just my 2 cents worth.
I've always seen the IFAK as our redundant, second kit, and mainly there so we can tend our own wound, alone. If helping a wounded team member then the bigger kit in my patrol pack will be accessed by me, for them.
Great kit and idea!! Wife and I ordered two at the end of last week and they arrived yesterday. We bought both the kit with the med contents and I have just completed putting them together ( I did add Combat Gauze to both). Great piece of kit!! Hope that we never need it, but we do have it now, we have had the training and hope to meet up with you at one of your training courses soon. Stay safe and healthy & Check 6!!
One thing you made me realize, I am right hand dominant, but lazy eyed on my right side so I shoot left handed, I can keep most stuff right handed and use my dominant hand but still shoot in an emergency. I have been doing this but never realized the shooting part.
Ordered up 2 can’t wait to add it to the belt and have one for my off-road motorcycle camping adventures! Yes the luggage system I use @moskomoto has molle spots so we will now only be short a “boo boo kit” lol Thanks for creating a solution to multiple “hobby’s” for us in one!
I was so set on getting the blue force gear micro trauma now kit but after seeing this video and hearing the price plus knowing that John has a reputable company I think I’m gonna have to pick on of these up!!
One of these on your backpack, a WPS Ankle Trauma Kit on your ankle, and a reliable 9mm in an accessible, concealed spot on your body. Thanks, John, and I am glad to see the beard is back; it gives me hope for humanity after all. LoL 😂
I just got the kit in today. Looks great!. John, would you do a short video on how to fold a load the tourniquet? I got it put together, but it isn't near as flat looking as yours is. Thanks.
Mfw I unironically keep contact solution in my home, car+camping, and work med kits..... At least it's not in my on person med kit as well lol. Only takes one flying ant stinging you in the eye because of driving with the jeep top down to wish for it 😅
I'm going to carry contact solution from now on. Thank you, John!
You can always use it as a back up weapon.
You can also use it as a beverage
I ALREADY do!!!....... be ready for ANYTHING SON!! Lol
Yep. All you need. Multi-purpose.
Have been for years.
"You've obstructed my airway!" GOT me hahaha

I have the hemostatic powder, regular gauze, and TQ's but no chest seals or "combat gauze". I need to upgrade asap.
Ok list, but we don't do kitty litter anymore.

The title of this video made me laugh out loud. Well done fellas.
🤣” You’ve obstructed my airway”
Love it. 👍🏻
Used my wps ankle kit multiple times over a couple years on the road. Glad to see another option.

Done & done. I was looking today for a kit & boom scrolled on this at the perfect time
Just got my full kit in green. Puts together really easy, and is exactly what I was hoping for. Great job on the med kits!
Just ordered one for my deployment! I’m glad y’all send to APO that was huge help!! Saved me a ton in shipping
This was absolute gold. Best intro video I’ve seen in a long time.
I picked one up and it is a great piece of kit. Very well thought out.
"no more contact solution" 😆
I just bought another IFAK…and this would have been a better option than what I got. Why did I not know about this a week ago. 🤙🏴🦍
"You've packed a training tourniquet" 😆
Adding this to my birthday wishlist!
I just received this kit. Excellent product and well thought out.
Perfect timing! I wasn’t sure where to start with a med kit and this looks ideal for me.
Always great stuff PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!
Still here liking and commenting......pushing the WPS signal.
This is a outstanding kit!
Ifaking learned alot from your video pvt Lovell, thank you
Of course this comes out the day after I bought the Blue Alpha from your website 😅
