Good review. Is there a move toward carrying 8 mags instead of 6? Six seemed pretty common for a long time. I'm also a smaller guy, 5'6" and medium tshirt, so maybe I just don't have enough space for 4 mag pouches with two flanking GP pouches.

Podcast is alive and well, think there was an account error but I just checked and its up. I've got different rigs for different mission sets. Not having the backing of uncle Sam means I've got to carry everything myself sans a friendly resupply (insert scenario here). For me, a standard load out in the field is 10 mags and armor. Without the support of a role 3 or similar, I'm willing to take the weight of more mags and slick armor. I can always down load if the situation dictates. At a mag a minute roughly its just more options. IMO the days of 3 mags and calling it good are done, the old ways of infantry are coming back.

I like the idea with the duct tape on the chest seals. I usually carry a hotel key card wrapped in 2” medical tape. But it’s something id consider. A couple suggestions from Doc to Doc. Consider placing your gloves at the top of the kit or on the outer pouch. If your concerned about BSI, have it be the easiest place for your buddy to get to. (You could have your joes donate blood on the regular, which would tell you if they have any communicable diseases) If you ever find that kit bulky, you could opt for a 6” ace wrap. Its gonna be way cheaper and slimmer then etds. Have your joes pre fill their admin data on the TCCC card. I don’t want to be asking about allergies while I’m treating. A sharpie would be a good addition to the front pouch for writing down information. Additionally somehow the privates always eat sharpies. Can never have enough.

It really depends on what your mission set is. Now days I'm just regular guy so depending on what type of training or what we're doing depends on what I carry and how. For example if you're a fighter first and medic second be able to do your primary role and flex into that medical specialty as a secondary job. If you're more like a traditional stateside medic following a team that's purely medical then you're gear should reflect that. Lotta good dudes putting out great stuff about this doing the job CONUS and OCONUS. CRO medical has a great section like a blog that I've found super insightful.

would be pretty cool to see how you set up having a chest rig you can put over your body armour rather than trying to fit everything on a PC; seen quite a few guys fighting in Ukraine talking about how that setup is ideal as they can just take off the chest rig but still be protected while they dig trenches or otherwise doing manual labour that takes up a fair bit of soldier time. Also saw another medic recommend that setup as they could just pop the chest rig off when casevac'ing the casualty so they won't so heavy but still protected. would be cool to see your setup in regards to that

Yep, its up on spotify too. I'm not as big of a fan because its harder for me to do stuff on there as a creator vs podbean and there's no way to interact with listeners like there is on podbean. Long winded answer but here's the link! spotify.link/SN57lDJlpDb
Have a happy thanksgiving! Take care brother!
Returned the one I got. Hook and loop on the mag flaps was very weak, and with two mags in the pouch there wasn't much purchase of the hook and loop holding the flap down. Otherwise very well made.
Good to know, I'll keep an eye on it. Weak velcro isn't too much of an issue for me, I've got a good tailor that does all sorts of odd projects. If it happens to me I'll throw out an update on ig and what I did to fix it
@@theguerillamedic I wouldn't want to have to fix something that should be right from the get go. Btw, I like the looks of the very pricey SAWS rig from Sewjourns Gear (USA), or the similar design and more affordable Helikon-Tex Guardian rig (Poland/Vietnam).
Hey man, found your channel recently and gotta say, you’re pushing out some phenomenal info and I really appreciate it. You an SOIDC?
Apprentice the kind words! I was a lowly 0000. Got to do some pretty interesting interservice field training and worked in hospitals mostly. Now days I'm just a regular guy working in civilian healthcare. I go over background on the first episode of the podcast if you're curious.
Right on man! Keep pumping out the medical gear content, it’s greatly appreciated and very useful
Could you link the IL (?) band by 3M? I'm having a hard time finding it. Also, I'm not sure if you mean CRO medical, or something else. Links appreciated for clarification and follow-on reading. Thanks <><

Good review. Is there a move toward carrying 8 mags instead of 6? Six seemed pretty common for a long time. I'm also a smaller guy, 5'6" and medium tshirt, so maybe I just don't have enough space for 4 mag pouches with two flanking GP pouches. The Helikon Guardian has served me well, but only carries 6 mags, and is made in PRC. Also, the podcast seems to have disappeared off of Podbean. Are you still doing the podcast? I've referenced you a few times recording the Stuck Pig Medical podcast with MechMedic, and I was wondering if you were still doing the podcast thing. Best, Teddy Bear <><
Podcast is alive and well, think there was an account error but I just checked and its up. I've got different rigs for different mission sets. Not having the backing of uncle Sam means I've got to carry everything myself sans a friendly resupply (insert scenario here). For me, a standard load out in the field is 10 mags and armor. Without the support of a role 3 or similar, I'm willing to take the weight of more mags and slick armor. I can always down load if the situation dictates. At a mag a minute roughly its just more options. IMO the days of 3 mags and calling it good are done, the old ways of infantry are coming back.
@@theguerillamedic Glad the podcast is not gone for good. On armor, you definitely have a point. I've been writing up a digest of a paper by Regan Lyon, MD (USAF) on a proposed GW/UW medical system. The numbers she sites for Vietnam KIA support your point. Non-correctable torso trauma (25%) Surgically correctable torso trauma (10%) CNS injury (31%) Obviously, US troops were functioning as an occupying conventional force, usually not choosing the time and place of engagement, but emphasis on small arms has some potential parallels.
@@logcabinschool absolutely man. I can't dm here but reach out to me on the IG page and we'll chat
I'm that one guy who's not on IG. :)@@theguerillamedic
Nice overview…glad I didn’t go with the Recce rig. Also take a look at the SORD On the man full dangler. I have a video of it on the channel and it’s also far better priced than the other options you were considering.
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for the video. I hope that TREX ARMS comes out with a Wolf Grey version and a Ranger Green with black hardware.
Great review. Good to see you back on the tube.
Much appreciated my guy 🙏
That map pocket made me mess with the TAPs for a while. I just want a thin flap right there for random paperwork
Honestly the TAPS is great, I have zero problems running one. Ive found paperwork in a cargo pocket is the way for me.
I like the idea with the duct tape on the chest seals. I usually carry a hotel key card wrapped in 2” medical tape. But it’s something id consider. A couple suggestions from Doc to Doc. Consider placing your gloves at the top of the kit or on the outer pouch. If your concerned about BSI, have it be the easiest place for your buddy to get to. (You could have your joes donate blood on the regular, which would tell you if they have any communicable diseases) If you ever find that kit bulky, you could opt for a 6” ace wrap. Its gonna be way cheaper and slimmer then etds. Have your joes pre fill their admin data on the TCCC card. I don’t want to be asking about allergies while I’m treating. A sharpie would be a good addition to the front pouch for writing down information. Additionally somehow the privates always eat sharpies. Can never have enough.
All soild points, appreciate the good ideas!
Lmao did you call gbrs goobers🤣🤣that’s so funny
Wow I've been looking for a video like this for a long time. Much appreciated. Any chance you could go over some of your kit/philosophy for different (patrol/urban/etc) loadouts? As a non-mil-vet doing medic work in Ukraine videos like this are really helpful. Been figuring it out on the fly for a while now so just wanted to say your videos have provided a really helpful insight
It really depends on what your mission set is. Now days I'm just regular guy so depending on what type of training or what we're doing depends on what I carry and how. For example if you're a fighter first and medic second be able to do your primary role and flex into that medical specialty as a secondary job. If you're more like a traditional stateside medic following a team that's purely medical then you're gear should reflect that. Lotta good dudes putting out great stuff about this doing the job CONUS and OCONUS. CRO medical has a great section like a blog that I've found super insightful.
Cool bag and the watch velcroed in there is an awesome touch! I'd love to see what you have in those internal pouches and what the philosophy of the bag is. (Maybe something for a part 2?😉)
Definitely doable!
Well thought out
Good video
Good stuff, thank you for doing this. Appreciate the education progressing past the TQ stuff that everyone knows about by now.
Thank you! The basics like tourniquets are foundational for sure, but they're just the basics. Most guys just haven't been exposed to more complex injuries. Excited to do more stuff like this down the road!
would be pretty cool to see how you set up having a chest rig you can put over your body armour rather than trying to fit everything on a PC; seen quite a few guys fighting in Ukraine talking about how that setup is ideal as they can just take off the chest rig but still be protected while they dig trenches or otherwise doing manual labour that takes up a fair bit of soldier time. Also saw another medic recommend that setup as they could just pop the chest rig off when casevac'ing the casualty so they won't so heavy but still protected. would be cool to see your setup in regards to that
Thats usually my preferred method, chest rig over armor for all the reasons you mentioned. Especially if its out over a long distance where I can take the armor off and put it in my bag if needed. Lots of options.
@@theguerillamedic vid later on regarding how you setup would be really cool to compare and contrast. Not that many vids out there I can see. Usually either just PC or just chest rig
@@edwardsorge3239 definitely doable down the line 🤘
As a medic who spent time working in Ukraine the Rig&Slick route is how I plan on setting myself up in the future. Glad to hear that others have used similar setups to good effect
Invaluable information. Great work, that may save the lives of many.
Much appreciated!
I love the tubular nylon and would love more use cases for it. Please make a video on an sop or something. I would love it
Dude that an awesome idea with the tubular nylon and carabiner.
One of the most useful thing I ever learned doing cross training with LE. Which is ironic because I'm pretty sure it was SOF that started doing the tubular trick 😂
Pouches like the blueforce gear and other thin material dump pouches are good for picking up items from a site that is important... When in the field I use a 1000D pouch from some random company that can hold spent mags till I get a minute to unpack. I also will put random stuff that doesnt quite fit in a pouch on my kit.
Definitely agree. The bfg pouch is what I use for that purpose or for carrying trash from treating a casualty.
The 'THYF - GMP' is a nice dedicated gas mask pouch to consider as well
I have a buddy that runs one all the time. It seems to be a good product. I like as much versatility as I can get and the dump pouch can fill alot of roles for me, a pro mask is just one. Just where I'm at in the never ending quest for the prefect set up.
@@theguerillamedic - For sure. Your setup is more versatile, just wanted to throw it out there
Nice overview of the Delta Bag, thanks. I wish someone would make an improved, modern version of the venerable M-5 aid bag. The clamshell opening of both the M-5 and the Delta Bag are really the best way to work out of an aid bag.
I love the M5. I pick up the Corpsman Assault System and those bags are fucking legit. Definitely bigger, but you can carry alot more stuff in them.
Tasmanian tiger makes a great med bag that opens clamshell style
Who makes that glucometer, it’s nice and compact, would be great for a smaller bag
I believe its a onetouch
Boo boo kits are just as essential as an ifak. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely. And used much more frequently.
