I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking you could make a finger loop by cutting a slit in the part you intend to pull. Maybe even stick a piece of thread inside that for strength.
I've carried mine (IWB-Flat 2.0 and Min-E-Med) on and off for about a year now and they've held up well, I'm not exactly lean but they work for a bigger guy like myself too and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for someone wanting an IWB solution.
Been running the IWB-Flat for about a year now. Twin chest seals, Celox, Cat 7 (Although I recommend SOFT-TW because the velcro can rub wrong), NPA and a sharpie. Can wear it all day and won't notice. It's been a great product for my EDC
@@vladboy1 If you carry a weapon, you may be shot at, and if you are, do you think anyone else will come running with rescue if you are bleeding out and have less than 5 minutes to live??
Also some firearm companies do this as well on a much smaller scale. First one that comes to mind is trex arms. Their sidecar holster allows an attachment to remove the extra magazine and add a tq holder where the mag was. It's pretty neat.
I own the IWB-Flat with the tuckable Ulti clips and the IWB tourniquet pouch. They are flat and made well. My only issue is that there is no retention ability on the top of the pouch(I have had gauze and bandages pop out when moving around). I'm a smaller guy and the IWB- Flat is just too big, it takes up a lot of my waist. I plan to get the IWB-T with the Ulti clips and see if the smaller pouches feel better. I would recommend adding shock cord to the top for retention. ICC, if you are see this, you have a good product it just needs a little retention.
I just got the "tuckable" kit, what i like is that it does have the ability to hold many things. But at a cost, for me i dont think many of my pants will work for this (i will try but im wearing the bigest ones i own and it only just works and my belt maxed out). It holds a Sof w-turniquet and chitosan gauze, a pen, and quick clot gauze and 2 chest seals (i tried to fit an isreali bandage but that doesnt come close to fitting, even on its own). I think it take some getting used to but im hoping it will do the job.
I assume they did a full flap for 2 reasons. 1) gives a little more cushion 2) it means you don't have a bare end at the top, which can be kinda rough on a lot of fabrics.
I like my Flat 2.0. Works for what it’s intended. It does print a lot with like thin hiking pants. Not so much with jeans or thicker tactical pants (5.11 Stryke for example). I think there is some extra material that could be tapered or something.
Got the IWB-Flat and been wearing especially everyday for years while traveling abroad and CONUS and mine has held up super well. I have a chest seal, SOFT-TW, flat gauze, combat gauze, Sharpe, and CPR mask in mine and it's not noticeable with just a t-shirt on. Only problem I have is the chest seal or sharpie slipping up the top every blue moon.
My chest seals or sharpie never slept up for some reasons. Have you tried putting the sharpie with the TQ and perhaps a second pair of chest seals? That's how I run mine and never had a problem with it.
These things seem alright, I suppose, and I can see situations where being able to carry medical equipment on your person without looking like you just stepped out of an ambulance, but my question is do these "inside the waistband" packs, when fully equipped, restrict your mobility, such as sitting down, bending over, squatting, climbing stairs, etc.?
To some extent yes, but I don't find it too bad. You're probably not running an assault course with them and still be perfectly comfortable but they are good enough for everyday carry.
@@carabinapacifista5627 I'm also a skinny dude. Any thoughts on how they would work with construction toolbags/belt strapped over everything else? Thanks!
It depends on how wide and thick your kit is. I have the iwb flat and it was incredibly uncomfortably while driving until I switched from the thick plastic clips to the slim discrete carry concept clips and moved items from the back pouch to the pouch in the front. Now its pretty comfortable. I loaded mine up so I'm sure if you fewer items it will be easier to comfortably carry.
Could you cover the Phokus Wound Cube + Wound Simulator, looks like its identical to the Wound Cube gen 2 but it has a connection point for a blood pump so you can use it as a wet trainer as well!
I carry mine (the 1.0 version) this way and it works well for me there. Even with thinner dress pants, from the outside it just looks like I have a bit of a bubble butt.
will an OLAES hemostatic bandage fit in one of the pockets? or needs to be a mini bandage like the H&H mini-compression bandage / nar mini responder (I see that's what is recommended on the ICC Flat 2.0 store page)
I’ve been carrying the flat 2.0 since around February. My 4” OLAES bandage does fit, however really snug and you have to fold down the corners for what is quite a tight fit
Support your argument. Why “should I” have two in an EDC capacity where weight and bulk need to be weighed with probability of use? Are you talking about a percentage of applications requiring two TQs? What about improvising a second or packing the wound with hemostatics after initial TQ application? Who says there needs to be two TQs?
@@PrepMedic well one would be land mines, they have this tendency to take out both legs not just one. But thanks for the reply anyhow and, you do, do good!
thick and feels bulky but not bad overall, unfortunate there is not a solid concealed option for med supplies. A better solution is definitely needed for the undercover police and mil communities
@@JoeyKneecap Lucky for you living in a good area I suppose? In a three block area where I live right in the middle of, there has been 3 shootings in as many months. So yes, I carry one primarily for gunshot wounds, then anything else. Not trying to be a jerk about it, but everyone's needs are different.
Fucko me....we're ambulance staff not land mine cleaners... I've done 30 year as a Paramedic in the UK. The most I ever carry on me are tuffcuts, micropore and a pen....oh extra pairs of gloves...any other kit we need is in the appropriate bags. Why oh why do you need all this toot???
@user-cl8nz1gm6o agreed. I don't carry anything at work, and I carry even less when not at work. All our kit is in bags, and the relevant bags comes into the job with us. Why would anyone carry all this crap on a belt, wrist, or ankle strap I'll never know. Acid attacks ain't exactly common and there's not much you can do about anyway except irrigate. Stabbings put a t-shirt or the wound with direct pressure. Car accident...can't never say ive come a cross one needing any help
If you think this is designed for paramedics on duty you might have missed the point. By a lot. Some of us carry medical gear every single day, no exceptions. And this is one of the ways some of us carry it (although I prefer ankle kits most of the time).
@swe_nurse8121 what, you carry this amount of kit while you're NOT at work???? Why???? How would you ever cope without the land mine clearing equipment on a day off????
Ok for what purpose would I what to cc a med kit in my waste band? Why would I want to hide my first aid stuff for that matter? No man you cc a weapon not medical I mean if you really need to hide it use a bag like a molle or something heck put that chit in a diaper bag ain’t no one going to get into that chit
