Building A Medic Bag 

Can you do a video on kit maintenance, identifying things that expire, proper way to disinfect tools and anything else I am forgetting. Thanks

AAAAAGH I NEED A MEDIC BAG

This was in my recommended; RU-vid knows what i need

*AHHHHHHHHH I NEEEEEEED A MEDIC BAAAAAAG* *AHHHHHHH IM DYING*

A friend of mine named Dallas would love to see this.

I think I "nerd out" too much with stuff like this! I love the medical field and can't wait to get started. I'm gonna take an EMT class next year as a senior than join the Army National Guard as a 68W Combat medic.

Getting sponsored by Vertex? Just need LAX Ammo and Big Daddy Unlimited now

One thing I would recommend for anyone using writing paper products out in the field is Rite In The Rain paper and notepads. I've purposely spilled water on a sheet that I wrote on, and it had no issues with repelling the water. Generally speaking, plain paper absorbs water and then gets messy with smeared ink.

AHHH I'M DYING I NEEEED A MEDIC BAG

Dude, I am so glad you made this video. I'm taking classes to become an EMT and I was thinking of making my own bag to have whenever I'm in my vehicle or heading into work.

Nice set up. Most everything anyone would want to carry into a scenario. For those not working out of an ambulance it's all you could carry reasonably. Thanks for sharing your insights with us, stay safe.

Something about the packing of the objects in that bag is just so satisfying.

Saw this video and just re arranged my own kit bag will be adding to it soon when I get My emt qualification. Cheers for the videos sam greetings from ireland.

That blue helmet in the background is what Wake County NC EMS uses, I am currently a cadet there and you inspire me so much!! Keep up the great work!

08:34 I now have an image of a little old lady getting slapped round the face with quick clot gauze 😂

The MidwayUSA Competition Range Bag makes for an Amazing budget medic jump bag. I have been running one for just over 12 years as an ALS truck bag. We use Meret's at work, although they are tough and able to basically hose off, I find them bulky and cumbersome. The only thing lacking on the MidwayUSA is the ability to carry like a backpack.

Dallas liked this video.

I love this video. I'm in Paramedic school and currently working two different armed security jobs. I have a little bit of medical equipment in my car but that's mostly IFAK and trauma care. I won't be carrying any ALS equipment until I'm licensed. I've been hesitant on carrying more than I already have because of the liability aspect. This puts me slightly at ease about building out a more comprehensive kit.

Thank you for your helpful videos, hope you’re staying safe.

A great bag to use what people dont think about is a camera bag as it has modula pockets or spaces and can move them to any style you like! Plus ypu can find tactical looking ones to ones that look like a camera bag and where people wont know what's in it. But either way I recomend a camera bag if your on a budget

Thankyou Sam .. I will look in to taking a CPR course and more if possible. Greatly appreciated for all your information you share lovnlite 💙😇

Right on time and as usual, very informative. I'm building a BLS bag for my family vehicle. Added a Rite in the Rain notepad for vitals and a headlamp.

Dallas taking notes

The only thing I would recommend adding is a hands-free flashlight in case you have to work on a patient in the dark, something like a headlamp or clip-on flashlight with a 90 degree head. I recommend the Thrunite TH20, UCO Air 150, Olight H1R, , or Claymore Capon 40B.

I like this video. I had 2 different types of first responders kits. I had one for scuba diving/hunting/out door bag. This has more to be like air way and burns some non script meds. For little things The other was for work/security bag. This had more to this kit has the most. Seeing that I had got Victoriea Life line calls. I had less of what the other kits are focused on. But I can take the med pack and my vitals kit to move to the other bags Oh forgot my trainer bag when I volunteered for several football clubs. The last one seeing that I had to deal with more possible sprains and broken bones. So more sam splints scrapes and small cuts. Of course possible spine and concussions. It is hard to price because if you have one big bag or small. If you have for a SINGLE or a couple and or mass wounded this will all affect your price.

Cool Setup. I carry 5.11 ALS 2900 Responder Blue Bag. Their first line of medical bags, their still holding up from the abuse. They were expensive at the time but worth it. Bonus is able to carry a regular size “D” or Jumbo “D” tank in the doghouse. It adds more weight to the bag, but everything I might or going to need is at my disposal. I recommend to students or co workers to invest in good bags that are going to be use abused a lot in all kind of terrain, spend the extra money on the bag that will fit you. Your already spending good money on supplies, don’t cheap out on a gear bag where it fall apart in a couple weeks to a month. *rant over*

Thanks Sam, lots of good hints.

Hi, i would suggest to keep your Airway roll and med case vertical so that you can reach them easily. Maximum respect even though. Great job

Thanks for the recommendation and the advises.

Very good information! Would like to see you talk about celox, surgical glue and steri-strips. Should I have at home or on my EDC? When to use each one? Thanks!

Sam, great video as always. Remind me to show you my medic bag at some point.

I'd like to watch a video about usage of some of these items. I understand something, but all other thingies are so interesting!

I recommend the Kemp professional Trauma Bag high quality low price.

SAM medical makes a relatively cheap manual IO device that is also pretty compact and unlike the IO device from Persys medical it is reusable.

Really cool Sam really really cool

Thanks man for ur video/s and knowledge and service.

Thanks! Once again a great video.

Thanks for an informative well presented video.

I have to say your stuff are awesome

Hey Sam, I was wondering if you can make a video on a good setup for someone who does SAR and is a EMTb.Right now I’m a volunteer so I don’t have any issues gear and I’d love to get your input on something that’ll cover all my bases and be under $200. Thanks for all you do.

Have you thought about adding a filter to place between the BVM and mask/tube?

Dallas would need this

Cool channel, thanks for the tips!

Thank you for this.

Can you do a video on the my medic EDC kit? Thanks. Love the vids.

would you be able to tell me where to find the boxes you use to store your meds, please? great videos by the way!

If you are wondering which IV drip set to get you probably shouldn't be putting IV stuff in your bag, haha. All joking aside, cool bag set-up. In CT, we can't perform ALS treatment (IVs, intubation, etc) when "off-duty" so this isn't something I would keep in a car as much as in the house for a SHTF kind of situation.

GREAT VIDEO!!! JUST SUBSCRIBED!!! Where do you get the Velcro strap holders you attach stuff to and attach to the walls of your bag?

Great video, I'm a scuba diver EFR and workplace first aider. What would you suggest I carry as an EFR/ first aider in the UK.

Hey, Have you got a link to the box you keep your meds in? IT looksllike a great addition to my kit. I currenly use a Statpacks med pouch but the hard and see through box looks like a better option! Thanks

Awesome video. Im kind of curious though, so i notice you build alot of your own bags, is that something preferred by your service, or if it's a personal bag are you able to actually get orders ofd duty, or is everything in there a standing order. I only ask because in PA and NJ the two states I was an emt in medics were basically EMTs off duty as they couldn't contact the medical director for orders. However 2/4 services i worked for allowed the full-time paramedics to basically set up their bags on either the ambulance or MICU (NJ they drove chase vehicles and would meet bls on scene they never transported on their own). Basically the ones who did that were the ones that worked the most. Now when I worked for a transport company I did carry my own BLS bag and hid it if the state was checking trucks because half the time the others were so careless they were either too lazy to restock or 90% of the stuff was expired and i didn't often have enough time to check more than the oxygen before they were rushing us away. That was the only place i had that issue. I knew of one other service no longer in business where the medics were each assigned their own personal box with everything except narcs and fridge meds and they would be responsible to have it each shift and maintain it. Narcs had to be double lock and key on the ambulance.

This is a nice setup. Think i need to rearrange mine

Thanks for the info man!

ARGH I NEED A MEDIC BAG

That's a really nice bag. I love all the pockets. Do you know if it comes with velcro dividers for the inside? As an EMT I can't use the advanced stuff, but I do like organization and it would be nice to divide out things on the inside like 4x4's, 5x9's. hot and cold packs, gauze rolls and tape, saline flushes, etc,,, Great review, thanks!

Can you do an bag for basic emergency medical Responders such as civilians

this will surely help out dallas

In which situations is this supposed to be used? In privacy on the job, both? Thanks a lot!

Sam, long time listener, first time caller. I'm a medic student right now, and you mentioned the bougie being good for crikes. How does it help? I don't remember that being mentioned in our airway units. Thanks, love you, love your show.

How did you receive your paramedic license? Technical route or traditional education? Do you recommend one route over the other?

Well you can’t have too many bags right? Nice addition to your collection! SWAT med pack, RATS, Car Emergency Bag....

Can you make a list of everything please?

Is there a reason why there are no burn treating dressings (like hydrogels)?

I purchased a pair of X-Shears on your recommendation

another question, for IV supplies. why do you carry a bunch all separate instead of sets? like i have a kit packs that have everything needed for set up in one. so i grab one or two for a patient and don't need much else. do you find benefit separating it all out or is it just about ease of refill from the rig that you don't have to pack up yourself?

Quick question, what pulse oximeter do you have in your kit please?

Very good video as always! Keep it up! Where did u purchase the custom patches? And the Med box is it a regular tackle box? Seems to fit nicely vials on one side and prefilled on other.

Is this for personal use? In the states do Parameidc service’s provide you ppe, supplies etc. My paramedic service here in Toronto Canada, supplies all of this equipment in bags that stay and get restocked in the truck.

My mother has small veins that wonder. Several times for draws and IVs, the plemby has attempted like 5+ times with standard needles. It sometimes can take a dozen times to get a normal needle in one of those veins. However, the second that a butterfly needle is used, it hits a vein first time. As such, any time my mom needs extensive blood stuff done, she insists on a butterfly. They never listen, and try 3 times first, but then they realize, and listen. As such, Do you carry butterfly needles with you?

could you do something about sterilization methods you use on your gear? i carry a lot of gear that i had to pay for myself because my employer doesn't provide it. and with covid there is even more cleaning going on. we have protocol but it is super basic

Can you do a video on basic first aid?

Where do you buy those NPA/OPA holsters? Thinking of making it part of my BLS kit

Thoughts on Coban in place of ACE wraps?

Where did you get all the velcro organizers?

What bag would you recommend for a volunteer red cross Medic? I’m from Europe so vertx is out...

Could you demonstrate how to insert the needle for a sucking chest wound .

Do you have a listing and/or links of components?

What brand of mag holders are you using to load your admin stuff like the combat gauze, tourniqets and decompression needles?

where does a civilian get these things or a EMT wanting to make a personal bag

Where did you get kings or Igels on the open market?

What about a manual feotal monitor and ng tubes for overdoses etc

So you aren't going to add saline lock extension loops to your IV kit??

What’s medication case is that?

Cool Sam

AHHHH I NEEEED A MEDIC BAG

I like your watch.

What size OPA and NPA do you have in this kit?

2:50 how do you get your gear to stick to your bag like that ? I already have a bag with molle on the outside but using this on the inside would be so usefull

What kind of shelves are those?

How much would you say this whole play bag cost??

Epi is the only thing that is gonna help really in anaphalaxis yes I'm an emdoc. Great laymen are gonna start needling folks which cause a pnemothorax actually, better be damn sure it's a. Tension pntx or you'll cause more problems. Lawn don't need to start an iv or intubate a bvm is a real t good idea

How much did it cost you to put all this together

This guy´s home is, in gamer terms, high loot

That bag is fuckin' ready to go!

Does work reimburse you for your equipments?

can all that be given/legal to have, except the meds if you’re a civilian

Sam, do you have a preference over certain backup airways,(KING-LTD, I-GEL, COMBI-Tube)?

@PrepMedic is it possible to get a IO device as a civilian or do you have to be associated with a agency? I feel like getting a lot of this stuff (meds mostly) you need to go to a know someone

Haven’t heard BSI since Corps School.

And what about cervical collar?? i never seen this in any of your videos.
