Barf bags. I learned to keep one or two of them in my pocket for " rapid deployment"

Thanks for making such awesome vids!

You're growing very well, I hope you keep growing.

I just found your channel it was recommended to me. So far I like it very informative great job!! Your wife did an amazing job on your knife. I took a screenshot just to see how she did. For sure impressed

Thank you, my friend, you are a sophisticated person and I am following you am from Iraq. Thank you

Good video and thanks for sharing. As a retired medic, my only suggestion would be a black sharpie marker. I used the refillable aluminum ones as they sealed better that the plain plastic ones... Thanks again and have a safe week...

Great video! Gonna have to start carrying some of those for the fire dept EMS.

I highly-value your channel! Thank you so much for sharing all of this information!

Dude, thanks to you I now know that I can get discounted pricing as a Paramedic with NAR and Oakley. Thanks!

Raptor, pen, sharpie, flashlight, phone, wallet, Littman. I also have a pulse-ox and a temporal thermometer in my bag, as well as a trauma kit (sometimes our service doesn’t give us everything I think they should). I used to carry a 26 Fr NPA in my pocket when I worked in the hospital. There was a BVM in almost every room, but I always seemed to be first to arrive during codes; and it was nice to have an adjunct available.

I'm only working in ambulance transport so the exciting stuff happens elsewhere, but my most used edc is definitely a little softcover moleskine. I take notes all the time, wether it's the address of the next hospital for the relatives, or the stuff we have to re-fill prior to our next mission. It always sits in my chest pocket and is pretty useful!

Very cool EDC! Thanks for the video.

That Benchmade barrage is awesome you found a good one.

love the videos! going to start paramedic school very soon! i had a heart transplant almost two years ago!

Love the air med shears!!! Ive personally never needed the carpuject so I dumped it. I rarely carry the hemostats but when you need them you really need them! For a knife I’ve fallen in love with the Gerber knife that takes the replaceable razor blades. For a pen I love the ones I have with the stylus on the other end for tapping on the iPad. Lastly, I carry my 500 lumen streamlight. You always need light. Congrats on a huge channel brother, let’s get together for a video or two

No flashlight? I’m an EMT and with the amount of times that I have gone in somewhere with low/no lighting is ridiculous lol. Would recommend any type of rechargeable flashlight.

Even for dayshift I'd carry a torch, better to have and not need and it takes up no space. Around this time of year here in the UK with daylight rapidly dwindling every day it's a no brainer.

The one thing that I always carry in addition to the things that you showed is a "good" flashlight on my belt. I can not even count the times that I ended up needing it on a call. I have carried a Fenix PD35 for years and just switched over to an Olight M2R Warrior.

Hi, Great video! Im a surgeon but I frequently work on the road when we have students. You inspired me to film the contents of my little bag aswel lol!! Personally I always keep my stethoscope with me (althouhg its not a must) I also have a pupil torch (the cheap ones will do fine) with a standard thermometer and some tounge depressors. That all I carry in a convenient pouch. And I always have some gloves lol!! Other than that, my equipment I keep in my jump bag itself. Oh yes, I always alwsys have a ligature with me. Hope to hear from you soon. I would love to learn more from you. We might come up with some ideas for a collaboration? Greetings my friend, Damien

Hello Sam, this is my first time watch your KZread "PrepMedic" Just wana say Hello from Indonesia

Where do you keep your torniquet, assuming you always have it on your person when you are on duty, do you put in on your belt in a tq holder or do you keep it in your pocket or something?

You have an awesome wife !! I wish my wife would buy me a Benchmade knife or any knife from the USA. You are lucky, I have to buy my own knives. I love the videos thanks for taking the time to make them !!

I'd like to learn some emt stuff I don't know much but now I'm really interested in it, what a great career you have

Great carry. You should consider an "off-duty" carry video as well. Only thing personally for me is carrying a flashlight--wouldn't need to be big or fancy, but maybe a keychain light. Check out the Nitecore Tube light. I keep those on my car keys as a back up to my primary light which is a Sure Fire EB1. I also see you went up another couple of K. Awesome work man. Would you recommend the Raptor shears? I find that I like the old school shears when I do medic work but I get OCD and I still carry more than I should and I feel like the Raptors would fix some of that issue.

Great video! The only thing I'd ask about is if you carry a pen/flashlight? I have a dual purpose (multiple settings, designed for EMS) light that works well, but tend to carry my Surefire at night.

Love your videos, I’m a paramedic from mexico

Where do you keep the TQ? Do you have a holder for it or which pocket in the 511 pants does it go in?

gloves (thin) breathing barrier (thin) , narcan autoinjector---great basic life saving things to have...I carry these, but not scissors or a tourniquet, though I have access to them in personal vehicle...good video, thanks.

Hi, I would like to ask what type of first aid kit or equipment you would recommend taking on a dirtbike or to skatepark?

I've become a big fan of carrying a "black bag" or man purse. Our FD switched to pants with no extra pockets anyways. Nice thing about the bag is I can grab specifically what I need on each call amd travel light or just bring the small bag with me. I also carry things like my nicer stethoscope, light, heavy duty ems gloves, gum,snacks etc..

Nice Video! I also carry a pair of Mechanix Gloves for carrying persons, heavy equipment or in case of assaults.

For the watch there is a setting that will leave it on for 70 seconds or so. I dont know if you need it but it's a tidbit you could pass onto other people.

Awesome vids keep it up!

What type of gloves do you recomend? for medical use

As an EMT I always have a notepad or pad of sticky notes in my breast pocket of my uniform. I also have a little cheap keychain wallet to carry my certifications and licenses in. Also I usually stick a few of those little hand sanitizer wipes packets in my pocket, We use the McKesson ones at McCormick Ambulance in SoCal, or i keep one of the small bottles of purell.

How do you check pupils without a penlight or flashlight? Is this still done? (I'm an EMS oldtimer) Thanks for the great videos! Very well done.

are those oakley Flak glasses good to be used as safety glasses?

Great video Sam. You must have a lot of pockets to carry all of those things on you. When you say that you work for a hospital ambulance how does that differ from a regular EMS station? Seems like it may be more streamlined.

This one is for your daily at job has paramedic, what else or different do you carry daily everyday

I’m sure being out on watch for years you have a go to flashlight(s), check out black scout survival flash lights or even wowtac thrunight super powerful yet inexpensive with different modes maybe even olight less bulky more $, some work gloves mechanix and Oakley inexpensive once again those can get dirty fast and feel like those should be handy Incase of a collision of some sort help out when FD is in route and you’re first on scene or wrestling down edp with PD keeping your hands safe. Keep up the great educational clips thank you for these videos and all that you do out there.

Id recommend including carrying a small but good flash light and a stethoscope, i usually use them for obtaining lung sounds on any kinda respiratory call

Can you make a video about your pepperspray/taser experience?

Hey man respect from Tunisia😉😀

Perhaps add a small flashlight like a Streamlight Stylus Pro or Micro? Or a smaller light such as a MagLite solitare? I have a Surefire Titan I was able to find on clearance at local hardware store.

I’ve enjoyed the Oakley SI website. Have gotten several Flak Jacket sunglasses as well as a nice pair of clear safety glasses for BSI protection on calls. Been having a hard time wearing sunglasses lately though due to having to wear a mask for COViD and everything fogging up.

Can you say what kind and where you get the hemostats? And type Stethoscope? Thanks Sam!!

Where did you get the case for your Apple Watch ?

What about a penlight?

Wow your on trending? KZread moderates must have fallen asleep! They never let people like you on here congrats man!

Great taste in knives

I’d recommend upgrading and carrying a gen 7 tourniquet instead of the 6. Great vid

Nice set up . But What ab flash light ??

Can you do a review on your stethoscope?

Why do you need seat belt cutters on shears?

Hey there buddy, awesome video just like all videos you post! The only suggestion that I have is a nice and compact flashlight. There are many cool flashlight available out there but one that I've found most useful is by fenix and it's a small, upright ( right angle) , rechargeable andcoolest of all this one has a red LED as well that makes searching items easier, but it's also ideal for checking pupil dilation or responsiveness.

PrepMedic , that's actually a pretty good point man! I don't have as much experience as you do and I gotta tell you the more experience I gain, the more I learn the value of "less is more"! Although I love the flashlight, it is pretty heavy and along with my Raptors, they constantly pull my pants down . Thank you for the reply brother, like I said I continue to learn and your channel is a great source.

Where is the stethoscope.

I often carry a small, light weight intubation kit, needle decompression, and IV start kit. Because they are things I would need quickly without going into a bag. I should mention that I often respond to cardiac arrests in all areas of the hospital and like to accomplish tasks before the crash cart arrives. I also work as a Flight Paramedic/RN and the helicopter is quite cramped, so gear can be hard to reach.

How do you keep the rust off your RAPTOR?

I think you need a Water-free hand cleaner, they are very useful tho. And you need a pupil torch mate... I do carry a FLIR ONE phone thermal imagery camera with me, it works nicely. And a Power bank since my phone battery is trash.

Im confused about the pens. Wish you would’ve gone into more detail.

my suggestion would be to look into getting a pelican phone case. i have a IPhoneX withe the waterproof pelican case and ive dropped my phone multiple times and nothing has broken plus it looks more streamlined compared to the otterboxes that after a while the rubber isnt as tight around the case as you can see with your phone. its a pelican so its made by the same people that make the gun cases. they're in the neighborhood of $40 on amazon.

An odd question as I'm typically a patient unless I'm at the range with friends. ( I started carrying a full first aid kit when my friends ar had a misfire when he was separating the upper and the lower. He almost shot his foot from what I believe would be considered point blank range for a rifle🤣.) But I digress what would you do for a patient who is either a hard stick or has a port. I'm an extremely hard stick just had an infusion today and it took 90 minutes, 5 nurses, and 9 needles to find a vein for therapy. I have a fainting disorder and honestly emt scares the shit out of me as my condition is pretty rare. ( I seriously have fainted in a corner if I know it's coming on so no one calls 911) also because my blood pressure is so low It scares me to think civilians who only know minor first aid might try to perform chest compressions. Or try to put a paper bag over my face as I hyperventilate trying to raise my blood pressure. Lowest that's been recorded was something near 70/40 I believe. So 1 what do you do with an extremely hard stick patient. 2 do you guys have port supplies. ( I ask because my nurses are pushing for my doctor to order one). 3 what would you recommend for chronically ill patients. I carry a medical bracelet that has a flash drive in it. I'm allergic to so many medications and have so many conditions that it would be impossible to fit all of it on a normal metal Medical bracelet. I know my questions long but id really appreciate a reply. I'm hoping maybe I can get piece of mind.
