Medical is so underrated its insane. It is quite literally the most likely circumstance any person will run into, yet I can count 2 successful yt channels centric to medical in a 'tactical' or 'prepared civilian' sense. It isn't 'sexy' but I guarantee you'll be a badass if you save someone's life in a medical context.
I have one of the pocket EDC kits and absolutely love it! My passenger seat has a phone-sized pocket on the side and it holds the kit, an extra tourniquet, some trauma shears, and a flashlight perfectly. It's out of the way until you need it and has just enough to treat any puncture injury sustained on a limb.
I have the EDC kit that I bought loaded out with their gear. (You can buy just the pouches). Love it. Carry it everywhere even work. Then I bought the responder IFAK pouch without any of their contents and loaded it out with my own stuff I already had. It’s super low profile compared to what I had on my belt. The durability is amazing. If you don’t have medical, you should.
Good that they include a Mylar/space blanket… keeping anyone who’s losing blood and needs their clotting functions to work warm is pretty important, even in warmer climates, and it’s often overlooked.
Thanks Aaron, got my 1st responder kit about a month ago. It lives on my day pack now which I will always have with me. LTC has some good ideas in terms of medical gear. They also have pretty good youtube content for things like how to repack your kits after taking them apart to get familiar... among other training aids.
Have 3 of the EDC kits one on duty belt, one on range belt, one for my pocket/backpack in addition to bigger kits and love them been rocking them for about a year and a half now. I also added a pair of mini chest seals to each of them just have to fold it properly to fit think LTC has a video for it. Adds a little width to it but still pretty manageable and comfortable
Bought an ankle kit from them a few years ago. Unfortunately, I don't think they sell it anymore. I should get one of those EDC kits because the ankle kit doesn't fit under all of my pants.
The "Get Home Alive" kit is nice for all of the stuff that it contains, but just as a matter of preference I keep gear segregated into two smaller kits, a trauma kit and a "boo boo" kit. Trauma kit only contains a tourniquet, pair of chest seals, Israeli bandage, wound packing gauze, and a decomp needle. Everything else for non-life threatening injuries goes in the boo boo kit, and they are separate pouches so there is no danger of needing to try and dig through band-aids to find a chest seal if you are under duress and seconds count.
While on the topic of safety gear, I'd like to see what you would recommend as the best ear pro. Perhaps find out what Gunsite and the other trainers use to see if there is any commonality.
I'm no aaron but I loved the sordin supreme pro xs for higher end hearing pro without comms, Ops Core AMPs if you can afford it. The cheapest bang for your buck hearing pro is some howard leights with noisefighter gel cups and an aftermarket head band. Qore makes a comfort kit you can find here for any ear pro you pick up to vastly improve it- www.qoreperformance.com/products/comfort-combo
I have the 3m electronic ears with the gel ear cups that setup was $180 my kids use the Howard lights they're only $50 they work ok but they're not as good as the 3m. The Howard lights also come down to far and interfere with my rifle. I also just got the Otto noisebarrier but I have no experience with them.
ANY medical kit is better than NO medical kit. I get far enough away from roads that my med kit is significantly larger than my cooking kit (and I do love to eat).
I’ve got their small wallet-type kit and really like it when I’m wearing shorts (but usually wear Dark Angel ankle kit with SOFT-T wide TQ otherwise because of its slim size). The LTC wallet-type kit is a bit bulky as equipped, but if you carry a CAT TQ already, then you can dump the SWAT-T TQ and it’s much slimmer and lighter weight, or you can put something else in it’s place, though the SWAT-T is actually very versatile (as shown in a Mountain Man Medical video)
I'm about to buy a back-of-the-belt kit, and I'm torn between this company's Responder and the Burrito model from Coyote Tactical. Anyone in these comments got thoughts?
I have the Coyote Tactical kit, 2 of them actually. One in my EDC bag and one on my kit belt for the range. Excellent product and I’ve had zero issues with them. Granted thankfully haven’t had to use them yet.
I was a medic for 12 years. We just called it a naso. We're not gonna hold it against you if you can't pronounce it. Well, maybe the guys with degrees will. I won't.

We include a tampon in the GHA because it is a comprehensive kit. Tampons are the most requested first aid item, 50% off the population is female. We include high quality trauma components in the kit for gsw, or trauma. Definitely don't advice anybody to use a tampon in those cases...
I just can't really trust a trauma kit that includes a tampon as one of the items. If it were a general first aid kit, then okay maybe I can see it. But, a tampon is NOT a suitable treatment for something like a gun shot wound...just like a belt isn't a suitable TQ.
Well you can shootem and bandage them up afterwards so they can go to prison. Thats a true double threat... for the criminals!!! LOL Great video as always keepem coming brother
"A different KIND of trauma kit...." BEST LINE EVER!!!
trauma applicator
needs to be on a shirt
No drop test?
Recently became obsessed with your videos and now I am going to have to attend some of your classes. Great stuff man.

Been running the ltc wallets for years. Love the Vertex jeans with an AR pockets. Fits in those pockets perfectly
A different kind of med kit!! I love that!
Been putting this off for too long. Mostly due to paralysis by analysis. Thanks for the video.

I think I found your hidden easter egg on the get home kit hehe
The first responder is awesome and holds more than you think. Perfect for the back of your belt it's accessible with one hand.

Love to see my local boys LTC getting some love. I work closely with them and they are great dudes!

I was just looking at these 2 days ago thinking about getting one , sage is always on point .
Pocket kit is awesome! Back pocket carry for over a year now!
I’ve had one of these for awhile. So much better than an ankle kit for medical kit.
No drop test?! You never know, the shears or zippers might have bust. Or the velcro patch fallen off. So sad…

Great... Now I can't get the image of a guy out of my head, cutting his finger and getting immediately mummyfied with TQs.
I've got a few of their pouches in the cars and on my battle belts. Haven't had a single problem.

That dangler kit is slick!

Ill give them a look. Thanks again
These seem pretty legit. I like how streamlined they are.

Here’s the video showing some potential uses for the SWAT-T by the way:
ruclips.net/video/doTJVp_nkBU/видео.html
I agree. I tried running the SWAT in there and it wasn't comfortable. I took it out and now I have this (and an ankle kit) on me most days.
You said it correctly..
Dark Angel medical kits are fantastic
Could you review the walther pdp? Red dot designed pistol seems right up ur alley.
If you carry a gun , then you just might get into a shooting so having the items on you to plug any incoming holes would be great , just saying .
This is the way
is there a link to the kit?
ltcreed.com/collections/medical-kits
But but but… no drop test? How do we know if it’s DUTY READY!!!!! ;)
And it takes Glock mags
Does it heal heavy bleeding?
No 2000 rd burn down?
No link?
No shoulder height drop test??
Yea, bit like burndown
No ones gonna talk about @4:55? ‘has been riding in the vehicle‘ as truck behind him pulls up on queue?????
Are these kits a good value? $175 for the responder IFAK + torniquet.

OPA if you’re into gagging people.

"there's no tampon in this kit" definitely had a tampon listed in the packing list
Included for the actual use not the made up one.
Ah, gotcha.
Great… another company thats gonna be constantly out of stock cause of you. Good review.
Just call it an NPA and people in the "know" will know
Anyone else disappointed there was no drop test?

Yeah. It’s in the basic first aid kit. For periods.

The tampon is included for women. Not because they want you sticking it in wounds.
@@SageDynamics if that's true, I wouldn't include it in a trauma kit and I think most women would include their own personal product of choice.
Well you can shootem and bandage them up afterwards so they can go to prison. Thats a true double threat... for the criminals!!! LOL Great video as always keepem coming brother
I started building my own kits because all the stuff can be bought way cheaper...
