Honestly, it wouldn’t be a PrepMedic pack without an ARS needle in it. I’m really surprised he doesn’t keep a cat tourniquet in there. 😂 Keep up the hard work Sam! You’re always doing bigger and better things. It’s impressive.

Not even a medical worker, just find this stuff super interesting

I’ll take all the stickers man. Love watching your videos! Was a follower for awhile for fun, but now I am in EMR, with plans of going to EMT and Paramedic. Love your videos man!

I've been experimenting for the past couple of months in the ground 911 setting, and it's actually been very handy to have - especially the syringes and needles. Thanks for the idea!

When I started in EMS around 10 years ago, I carried a bunch of stuff. Pretty much has dropped to a pen and a pocket knife... Starting Paramedic now (going from AEMT to medic), so maybe going back up in terms of what I carry in the future. I like this idea of a pouch, quick and easy.

@prepmedic you should do an updated edc as a flight medic and you should do a tour of the helicopter line you have done with other ambulances because lots of people enjoy watching those types of videos

Hey, man. Just found your channel. I've been a street medic for 3 years (5 years total in EMS). I was looking to see if you have any videos on transitioning from street medic to either flight and/or TEMS but I haven't found anything. I would love to see a video like that with your perspective! Keep on keeping on, brother

Hey Sam, did you know that those 10mL preload/flushes aren't accurate and calibrated? I believe my service uses the same preloads, and the ml markings on the side is just a sticker, where as an accurate 10ml syringe would have it written on the syringe itself. Therefore, you could potentially have dosage errors for diluting medications. Just something to consider, I used to dilute meds in the preloads, until I found out they weren't accurate.

The only pouches I'd consider a candy pouch is filled with morphine, fentanyl, amphetamines, hypodermic, and tourniquet.....or candy

I suspect someone introduced that cric kit with the term "boujee" or "bougie," and you applied it to that specific instance. I would like to draw your attention to the general or widely accepted definition from the streets....dog....(well, from a google search and common usage at least): Boujee is hip-hop slang for something "luxurious in lifestyle yet humble in character," influenced by and often interchanged with the slang bougie. An abbreviation of the French "bourgeois." A critical term used to describe people, things, and places that are definitively high-class. Something that is affected, inauthentic, gentrified, exclusive, and/or otherwise sheltered from the dirt and grime of the real world.
