I love it Sam!! You hit it on the head on this one! You may consider contacting HPG for including this video on their site. I can’t wait to see the video on your flight gear setup. Thanks for your service on the helicopter too. 👍👍😁
Mate, Thanks for giving me the idea of gathering some "red caps" to a key ring for organizing syrings. Great idea! Put an aseptic "red cap" in between to keep them clean. I will try that asap!!!
Great video and organized setup! I have a medical assistant (RMA) bag that goes over the shoulder. Having reference materials handy when you need to double check things is a lifesaver! 🏥👍
Dude, with the beard I almost didn't recognize you. Has been so cool to watch you mature on your channel. Very neat. I am taking my NREMT-P tests here in a few days. Wish me luck
Nice when I was SAR Medic in military before it went to coastguard I could of used that chest rig then I simple pouches along side the other bags inside the sea king but along side the dry suit, life vest and stas and radio not much left to take on the wire with me apart from the pararescue bag
Good review, from a right seater who used to be cargo on bell 206. TV = 4-6 ml/kg avg adult 350mL -500mL for ARDS and especially with SARS COv-2. Next step is provider role. Keep it up. Cheers.
Your gear setup is efficient,if Something needs something else they are put together,prudent thought. Your tie fighter and hanging syringe holder is so awesome. If you could look eave links to those products I'm interested for my self and maybe for my service. Thank you for the awesome vid,!
That reference book looks like it's from a company called mdpocket they make custom books for individuals or services where you can pick or choose the content by chapter. They run about $50 a piece.
I like the chest rig idea…. I use a chest rig more for ground ops and special events…more for radios and some admin gear.. when I was flying I mostly used my Fanny pack…mostly for items that I needed close by..end cap leur lock, saline locks, Med labels, sterile water nebs etc.. good idea
Everyone packs according to their mission requirements, but for flights I would suggest having a BVM in the rig too. I've seen too many things go wrong and Hamilton T1 ventilators fail during a high speed evac.
Not the guy in the video and a little late with a reply but the reference he displays looks exactly like a pocket reference from a company called mdpocket they make custom medical references that you can order by chapter that run about $50
Do you have to fund your own gear/ supplies? Apologies if you've answered this in a prior video but I've only found your channel this morning and am loving it all. Also, what part of Colorado are you in? I really appreciate what you all do. A good friend of mine would have died had it not been for Flight-for-Life going clear up to Hwy 24 outside of Fairplay after a driver ran head-on into him as that driver attempted to pass a big rig on the double yellow line. He spent over two weeks in the ICU and wasn't supposed to walk again but today, other than some narly scars, you'd never know he was touch and go for a while.
Only problem: Hill People Gear's bags have been EXTREMELY difficult to get ahold of in the desired colors / sizes. They don't seem to alert you about restocks, either.
Very well thought set up. The back compartment designed for conceal carry of a pistol is designed for fast draw. You just have to leave the zippers unzipped about 1 in from the top right corner on both sides, you then grab the zipper on the front most pouch and pull and it opens without any trouble.
Great vid. Question? I m not a medic nor do I have medical training. What bag and gear would you recommend for me to carry as a civilian for emergencies. Till help arrives I am a l do have my LTC in Texas
I love this chest rig, but unfortunately, most colors are out of stock! I was interested in seeing if anyone else uses a different chest pack similar to the Sar Kit Bag?
Hi @PrepMedic. I've noticed that you're sporting a very sharp beard. My understanding was that facial hair was not allowed for firefighters and medics as it would not allow an airtight seal for N95 masks, SCBA, etc. Can you clarify?
@@PrepMedic So it would seem. Last time I looked into it, in my area (Northern VA) it was pretty much a non-starter. Anyway, thanks for the reply, and thanks for all your great content.
Yeah. Everyone carries something ranging from a candy bag in their pocket to similar chest rig setups. It’s pretty routine to transport patients on 3-8 drips and push 5-10 meds in the course of a transport and when you are functioning out of an A-star it really helps to have crap on your persons.
@@PrepMedic Maybe in CO but not in NM and, I'm sorry but "So I don't have to get into my stock of Meds" does not seem ok. Apparently CO has some pretty lax regulations on controlled drugs and their use by paramedics.
@@grneyedtao it's pretty common here in the South East as well. I personally have never worked for a service that stocked propofol. We've done quite a few long distance vent transfers and have always had the sending facility send extra if we thought it would be needed.
We don’t stock lipid emulations due to storage issues. Our protocols allow us to order whatever we need from sending. It’s a great way to speed up patient care and make transferring complex patients faster.
