Great video. FWIW, I KNOW Bear and he not only knows his stuff in this (and other) areas, he actually CARES. About YOU. Having to use this gear. He could take shortcuts on quality but refuses to. This is the gear HE uses - and so do we.

As a 30 year medic, this is THE BEST IFAK that I have seen.

I was Combat Lifesaver qualified twice, in the Active Duty US Army Infantry, and I am a combat veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Bear FAK is second to none, and far exceeds the CLS kit that I carried. I have already recommended it to a couple of local first responders, as well as several local civilians, and I will continue to do so. Bear definitely knows his stuff. Blessings!

@prepared medic, *which* one is the best you've seen? The Bear IFAK, or the other one? I suspect you mean the Bear IFAK, but you've left it completely ambiguous, and you could've meant either one for all that anyone knows.

I was an EMR on a rural F.D. for Two Years. I'm presently in charge of Disaster Response at my church. I recommend Bear's Kit above ANYTHING else out there! When it comes to helping people and saving lives, I don't cut corner's. What I buy for my FAMILY, I buy for my Church!

The only thing I added to my Bear-min was a small flashlight.. And I've actually used mine in a less than ideal situation and it met its advertised capabilities.

Im thankful that you make your kit. Im glad I stumbled across you years ago. Been watching every since

I just ordered the bearfak while watching this video. Thank you for making this video and all your videos. Keep up the great work.

THANK YOU BEAR, AS USUAL YOU ROCK ALL, SHALOM BROTHER.

Been saving up for your bearfak! Been watching your videos for several years now and have learned a lot from you and really appreciate your dedication to teaching what you know dude 👍🏻

Firefighter/EMT for 30 years, love your kit!! I need that on every vehicle I own

Got my bearFAK 3.0 ordered today!! Super helpful customer service. Thanks Bear

I bought 4 BearFaks for me and my family. They are top notch and every bit as good as advertised! I wouldn't travel without one!

Great job comparing the two! I think this would be a great way to educate people! Especially when it comes to your competition! Keep fighting the good fight brother!!!🤜🤛🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hey brother! Another excellent vid as always. I actually was looking at the MyMedic, they have a good thing going as in advertising the product, but further observations, I found that I’m paying more than 60%on just the pouch, which I can find that one anywhere, matter of fact I just put my own together with the same (5.11) rip away and sourced all med equipment from North American rescue. I was wanting to pick up one of your Ifaks, but funds do not allow at this time. But man…your Med kit is probably the BEST one I’ve seen. I’ve always packed my guys aid bags and Ifaks in Afghanistan with my own med gear, since the army liked their expired medical stuff and wish I wish we had your IFAK standard issue

Shalom and thanks for the review. I was expecting alot less in covering the MARCH-E but not surprised about the inclusion of the rat. Glad to have a few of the Bear FAK and the Mini FAK as a firstline use (hopefully never).

Digging back into Bears videos he went from 19 to 92 lives saved to current Oct 2023 ..praise the Most High

Straight to the point, full of knowledge. Bear you have the best IFAK on the market. The pouch is perfection. Keep on keeping on!

I had a chance to look at one of your Bearfak and they are nicely built. I hope to order a couple soon also seen a roll pouch ifak from forward observation group you may have already seen them it’s unique and I may get one of those as well but yours is very functional and well built shalom keep up the good work

Yep Bear IFAK is more for tactical emergency the enterial articals are perfect.

Just shared this video with my mother. She's a 40 year veteran as Registered Nurse. She asked me what I wanted for my birthday, & I said I wanted a BearrFAK. She asked why I would choose a brand she's never heard of, over a well known (in her field) brand like you competitors. If this doesn't give her confidence in her investment in my BEST BIRTHAY PRESENT EVER, I don't know what would... Keep up the good works.

As a former LEO-EMT I think the Bear Fak is top of the line. I build my own personal kits, but would buy a Bear in a heart beat if I didn't have all the supplies. Shalom T-man

We need more people like you around

Great comparison Bear.

You convinced me. I had to help out being who overdosed on heroin in the past and other people who were having medical problems in the past. I worked with felonies as a program supervisor. The thing I hated the most about the job was the first aid kits. When there was serious bleeding (can't go into it) I had to keep pressure and use very cheap crap. If it was not for emt getting there quickly that guy would have bleed out. I will be buying at least 3 of your packs. One for myself, grandma, and mother.

TJ, I've always appreciated the tightness of your weave....hahaha 🤣

That's why I bought your Bearfak. I almost had to use it last night at work. A guy wrecked down the road but he was ok.

Ok Bear let me get this straight what you are saying is that I should go with the My Medic kit……… lol thank for your insight brother..

I have a med kit I've put together myself with all North American rescue stuff. I plan on buying one of yours next though after watching this video.

I really wish I had enough money to buy a few of your ifax to give to a young police officer cris acorn who is a police officer in Toronto Ontario Canada I've known him since he was a ankle biter chewing on my JVC boombox back in the 80's He's a dedicated father and husband with a wicked sense of humor who also served in our military I'm very proud to know him And I don't think he has anything as comprehensive and well put together as what you have So I'm going to save up my coffee money and hopefully get one from you guys soon Thank you for your videos and knowledge God bless you and your's Just saying

Just got the bearfak 3.0 with some add ons, can't wait! Showed my wife what I got now she wants one lol, now to learn how to use the stuff.

Good review! My pack did come with 2 chest seals though!

Yea that’s def a big difference side by side like that, thanx for the vid

I love my bear minimum,,, however the extra stuff in the other one would really be nice to have stuff On a budget the bear minimum is perfect I've had it in my bookbag that comes with me everywhere for the last half year and no packages inside have opened up/ become spoiled.... the stiching is the best 👌 believe it I have still not have proper training due to funds but I have this kit with me everyday and know how to use it without any stress other than the decompression needle... I however need that training but it would be another 5 months before I could have money to throw that way...

I’m going to post this under every single one of their Facebook ads.

The only suggestion i'll give to you is to change the triangular bandage whit a cotton or fabric base one cause they are more usefuel and versatile

This is why you don't buy shit unless you have training, so that way you know what you need. Great video 🤜🤛

Any of Bear's kits beat the competition, no questions. Even Cub level kits.

And I ordered the real just seals and a cat Tourniquet for my my medic kit.

Thanks for the

The only thing is I would need for the molle pouch to be side by side two wide centered instead of three wide to utilize the bear fak for my needs because space is limited on my setup. It's comprehensive kit with everything you need without filler and you can always add to it.

The Bear Minimum takes up less space than the BearFAK 👍🏻👍🏻

I purchased the BEARFAK AND THE BEAR MINIMUM! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

You know the athletic phone holders you get at Walmart, the super thin neoprene ones that Velcro around your arm for running? I have a rats tourniquet in one of those with a pair of gloves. It's the only setup I've found that I can strap around my leg above my boots everyday. Everything else is to bulky and heavy for me to actually wear every single day. I do have cat's, tk4's and even swat t's in my vehicle and house.

Excellent review Bear. Their kit was better than I was expecting to be honest. Be a descent booboo kit but I’m proud to have the BearFax on my PC and a another one molled onto my work bag (I’m a freight train conductor & ppl don’t wait for trains). Also I need to retake your medical training course, that was some bad ass training! I 100% recommended their training corse to anyone reading this. 100% worth the money and for me an 8.5 hour one way drive.

Awesome vid bear! Bought one for myself and saving up for one for my stepmom.

Not that I inherently disagree with most of what was said. But this was a comparison of a kit geared for minor first aid with some additional things thrown in for stopping bleeding marketed towards the everyday civilian against a professional trauma kit marketed towards military or first responder application. Just bashing the competition for bashing sake.

BearFAK All The Way!!

Nice video.could you do a review of surviveware?

Pretty sure the STOMP bag from Refuge Medical beats the Bearfak from....oh wait 😉

Any idea on when the boo boo kits will be available again? I’m not medic trained on the items in the bear FAK but want to support the channel via that boo boo kit.

I’m definitely sold on your BeakFAK, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on Olight. I’m a little surprised that’s what you have on the Glock in the thumbnail....

Alot of KZreadrs advertise for olight..not too bad on a pistol if you don't use that pistol professionally.

Not an endorsement of the RATS Tourniquet but I have heard that it is better for small children and pets due to the smaller clinch diameter. Any experiences would be helpful. I don't need ignorant bashing or I would go to Twitter. Please just real world experiences. I am former Army and Retired LEO so I have some first responder knowledge. (ie disaster response trainer / planner ect...)

Hey guys. I’m new to the “prepping” community and am on a very tight budget. What kind of medical supplies should I focus on first. A 1 or 2 at a time kinda thing. I have a lot of boo-boo stuff already so I’m looking more towards trauma care.

Received mine a couple weeks ago. Love knowing I have top quality gear made in America that can save a life in my possession. Just curious though, I leave this in my truck, and am curious as to how well some of this stuff holds up in the heat?

I’m not for big gov, but there are times when they should be involved… we really should not allow cheap imported medical equipment and supplies to be brought in. We should be making them here and assuring the quality by law. That kit shipping with a RATS tq tells everything I need to know. No need to go further, write it off as junk. I built my own kits, from legit quality items because I had access to wholesale pricing. But in the future, I will buy from Refuge. Shalom, Brother.

They’re expensive but they have 2 completely different markets. Refuge medical is aimed towards the tactical world and trauma care. My medic is geared toward civilian and everyday minor injuries. I have both the bearfak 3.0 and the new mymedic myfak and I can tell you that i’ve gone into the mymedic kit infinitely more times than the bearfak. That being said, I’d rather have the bearfak for trauma but I could absolutely make do with the MYfak.

Where can the BearFAK be purchased?

How many ppl do you need in a class to have a class in iowa about this product n show how to use all that stuff?

I used to like MyMedic but I got mine before all the mymedic branded gear. It’s one hell of a booboo kit and it’s my most used kit. But I have NAR kits and small booboo kits in my pack and the MyFak stays in the car or camp. That bag they have is trash. Full stop. Most of my bags do cost almost that much empty. The MyMedic shouldn’t even be in the same category as the bear medic or NAR. But they do so they get what they deserve.

Hahaha all right! This is bound to be a good one!! I’m guessing the MyMedic is gonna be a pouch full of bandaids...

Did some research on the bear kits and honestly not that impressed. I was in the Army for 6 years and I didn't see anything in the kit that exceeded military standards. Really just banking on the made in America flex to justify the increased price tag. At least the kit doesn't come with a RATS tourniquet.

there are a ton of large youtube channels now promoting that my medic kit lol

There is no comparison between yours and theirs..You put a top quality IFAK Together..I see all the hype is real on your BEARFAK...Great video BEAR... The made in America is Why I want the BEARFAK instead....Mine is homemade right now..
