The BattlePAK (Advanced Mass Casualty kit) 

Bingo.

Your kit is only 300 bucks? 😂

Mine is $65, swat-t, expired combat gauze, a IV cover (can be used as a chest seal) and a bandaid.

​@socotrailtruckers7668 you could save more money by just using a used rubber glove as a chest seal and some old duct tape.

You said it yourself - it is a MASS casualty kit. This isn't anything like a personal boo-boo kit you would take with you on a hike and that you can put together for relatively little money. Think of it as the "Lets make sure that you don't die within the next 20-30 Minutes" kit. This is for "shit has gone sideways in a major way and people will absolutely die if help is not coming quick" events. One TQ, a pair of rubber gloves, a safety pin, 10 ft of Paracord, two Advils and a bunch of band-aids & blister pads aren't going to cut it here. Imagine an industrial accident, a bus crashing and flipping over, or a passenger train. Boom, dozens of potential casualties at once. Not all of them will need every but of kit in there, but if I had to answer to that scene, I would rather have 3 TQs too many than be one short. Also, if you carry this thing, other crews can get material off that bag if need be. And you would probably have three or four of those running on a really big scene. But cost is no factor when you put together a kit that you and several others have to stake their lives on. And stuff like that is not cheap, and has never been. You want to have something that you know will work, and which will be durable under stress and in a less than ideal environment. Like snow, rain, mud, rubble, what have you. It is all fine and dandy if you can use it while you are in a stress free, well lit and clean environment without tons of adrenaline pumping, people screaming, sirens blaring etc. There is a reason why all the equipment in an ambulance costs tens of thousands of dollars. A portable ventilator alone is going to run you 20 grand, and it is not something that looks super spectacular. It has to be absolutely reliable, and cannot be something that is cobbled together with duct tape and shoe strings. So the stuff in those bags that paramedics take with them when they get out of their big red car is worth 40 grand easily. And if you happen to be that person who seriously needs help, you want ALL the "excess" you can get, trust me.

Well, if your kit is only $300 you’re almost certainly not a swat door kicker military combat medic or what this kit is actually designed for if it’s not designed for you it’s just not designed for you!, but I wouldn’t bash people that are getting information on a kit that is made for them.

5.11 glove pouch is better built and is a lot more sturdier. Partner has Condor on team

450 for the bag ONLY

How much is a life worth? Especially if it's a family member..?

Federal grants help fund the purchase? That never helps. Made in the USA? I'll pay a little more for that.

Sounds pretty standard for the medical industry. Hyper-inflate the price for 10x the cost of manufacturing the supplies.

A bit like ready made bug out bags, convenience...(Plus welcome to the 2024 post "America First" global economic war economy - (America lost badly)...)

especially rhino rescue TQ's, I've bought some gen 2 tq's and the build quality is excelent

I tried a few TQ's of theirs. Worked very well. Brazilians and middle easterners use them a lot. Probably in Ukraine too.

Not breathing in a masscall situation means dead. You don't have the time to do cpr in a masscall

@@hoerah With the greatest respect, that is simply not the case. The essence of triage is that when casualties outstrip available resources, we try to do the most for the most. But, when enough boots are on the ground, we can and do start to treat casualties who aren't breathing. It's no longer considered acceptable to just write off casualties who aren't breathing as lost causes, unless they have obvious injuries incompatible with life, e.g. decapitation, hemicorporectomy or >95% full thickness burns. If you check out the Ten Second Triage tool, you'll see the instruction at the bottom right: "CPR if resources allow".

We have an “expectant” category in some triage models that is essentially the same thing but it doesn’t take the place of black tags, it’s a separate category.

@@PrepMedic We have the expectant/T4 category over here as well, but only in the armed forces and only on breathing casualties. In practice, it would only be used if a unit was under effective fire, without sufficient manpower, and with no chance of casevac for a casualty with severe multisystem injuries and poor prognosis. Otherwise, it wouldn't be ethical to ration treatment to live casualties. In permissive circumstances, UK battlefield casualty drills for those not breathing emphasise a request for additional personnel, then commencement of BLS. In civvy street, it became clear that casualties with slow or shallow resp rates were being triaged as dead, as were arrested casualties with reversible causes. Even in the absence of sufficient medical personnel, bystanders could be directed to begin CPR if safe to do so until trained staff arrived.

Hi there. We make and assemble all our kits in Rancho Cucamonga (southern California)

No real need for a whole video, it’s the exact same.

People that work hard and make money buy it

Or we can copy it and make our own at a much more affordable cost.

with tax payer dollars. cool gear for cool guys, spending someone else's money. purchased for the "look at me, I'm extreme, thank me for my service!" office guys.

@@lorknozzel11 I have a friend who works for the federal government and no they would not spend on a pack like this. I have however seen guys bringing this over among EMS and S&R volunteers.

Get a job that pays more $ so you can afford it dumb ass and stop complaining about the prices
