Your video is profoundly captivating! __ "Success thrives on unwavering dedication."
I put a booboo kit with band aids in all packs and accessible pocket. Infection from a slice can kill over time just as a gunshot wound. As stated you wont throw that Israeli bandage on a small cut.
Very nice!
Great Video ! Had a basic First Aid Class in Basic Training in the late 60's... Learned to save the life of your Drill Sargent if he had a head wound you put a tourniquet between the wound and the heart... The only thing I would add is a Space Blanket to keep the patient warm. Must get one soon for my kit. tjl
PA have you used any ifak inserts or organizers?
Great overview of your kit layout! Thanks for sharing this with us! 👍👍🤝✌️🎯🫡
Man you guys have come along way since the 70's when I was in, I love it. But I always carried bandaids in my 1st aid kit that we carried on our gear, an still will. It pays to have a boo boo kit we always said, as thats the more likely scenario on average, minus any engagements. Thx for the vid PA
Good on you for including water. I gave up trying have nice, organized, IFAK pouches on every piece of kit years ago...these days I stuff everything, including a TQ and some water purification tabs, into one of them gallon freezer bags, and that's what get's stuffed in my pouches, cargo pocket, ruck, etc. Easy to pull out, can toss the entire kit to someone else, if needed, and the bag itself is a water container. Cheap, multipurpose stuff rulez. Crap, I've become my grandpa.
thoughts on running an IFAK on belt and plate carrier.
Great information!
Like to see you do every 3 months review on your Marathon watch...
Soon!
That water bottle trick is nifty. I may have to copy it. Out of curiosity though, why run a canteen there and a slick back? Why not the standard hydration bladder?
A good thing to carry along with a decompression needle is an indexing card such as the Sam Thorasite. Knowing how to use needle decompression on others it cool, but won't save you from dying if you are the injured one. And with such an indexing template it's easy for your buddies to save you, even if their last medical course was a decade ago. And it takes up literally no space at all.
Darn tough wool 💯 Wet feet in cotton will kill you - and I have been soaked so many times. Greetings from Anchorage. Actually, there have been times that only my wet feet in wool were warm.
Do you think ifak contents will drastically change in the next 5-10 years?
6 mags on body, one in rifle and bandolier with 4-6 mags in assault pack. I tend to put a single mag in my back left pocket as well. I believe it’s a solid amount of ammo without to much weight. But that being said, having a squad or fire team would be ideal.
Mine is basically the same with some small differences. The only thing I would say as far as, "Hey, have you considered?" are prelubricated NPAs. The design that stops it from going into your nose is better, and there is no chance of one of the KY packets leaking everywhere. Other than that, they work exactly the same and don't require additional training. I definitely understand from an agency or branch perspective the number of NPAs (and everything else) they already have. So, it would be more for your personal IFAK, and depending on your unit's SOPs, if you can make a minor change. I separated quite a while ago. So, I can just say, "I don't care. I do what I want." Btw, I hope the people gatekeeping shears because "You're not a medic" aren't medics themselves. I already know at least some of them are, though.
Any recommendations on good, comprehensive one/multi day classes and/or books for people that aren’t medics? As a point of reference I took a 16 hour Wilderness First Aid class last year and wanted to take a Stop the Bleed class but nothing in my area. I do a lot of backpacking but recently got into more tactical and would like to increase my trauma based medical knowledge.
Stop The Bleed is a great course. I would also recommend traveling for a TCCC-ASM course if you want the tac experience with it. What state are you in?
If you can find one semi-local, Refuge Medical has their Responder 1 thru 3 classes. I've taken level 1 and it was fantastic. Lots of hands-on training, some stress inoculation, great info. They don't come around my way often, which sucks, cause I'd take the whole trio now. Level 3 looks very intense.
Sir, may I know your wrist size?
Medic here. I use the Defense Mechanisms TQ cover to minimize environmental exposure
Keep up the great vids and thanks for your continued svc.
You sold me bro, and i like a heavier supressor foe training so when i use my battle rifle its not that heavy.
So this could replace having both a water filter and a seperate cook pot!! If your just eating freeze dried/dehydrated meals this would be perfect and carry potentially less weight to carry overall. But the 40 gallon at 16 oz is 320 filters before it needs a new filter is a hard pill to swallow. And the titanium does not justify 100 increases in price.
I have a small ranch, and i carry my Leatherman classic and a pocket knife. I'm constantly fixing fences so the Leatherman comes in handy. But if i need to do a lot of cutting i use my knife. It just makes sense. I also always carry a pistol. We have rattlesnakes, mountain lions, and tons of coyotes.
I have to say I find this review a little superficial. Just an example: the light weight and small size are mentioned a lot, but not the tradeoffs that come with that (e.g. field of view, exit pupil).
with the comtac III, how do i get sine cable management for the wire connecting to the other headset
just bought that watch got it for 350 on sale
Thank you for your service I agree with you I’ve carried at 9:40 for five years six years it is an invaluable tool to have on you at all times
I highly recommend getting a lixada portable solar panel and just charging it off of a batrery bank
I haven't tried one of those yet. I personally use Powerfilm for solar. Specifically The Life saver max or Lifesaver portable.
what’s the size of the buckle you used for the hand warmer? how did you get the buckle to stay on the velcro strip?
I will have a dedicated video explaining how to do the mod very soon!
You should still add the old, but tried and true, GI triangle bandage. I know I am dating myself, and is now a back up, but its nice to be able to elevate an injury to the arm, and I have actually seen articles about 101 ways to use a triangle bandage. When I was active duty, we were taught how to use it as a bandage, how to tighten to use as a pressure bandage and how to quickly modify it as a tourniquet . If you got a second one, the second one was a pre-water filter before boiling. , You could wet it and place over your head or on your neck,. May sound silly, but the safety pins were gold to us.
Not for IFAK. As a medic, I carry them in my aid bag, but never recommend them for your IFAK. Put it in your GP pouch or your assault pack. They are a great versatile item though.
Not dating yourself at all, we use triangles daily on the rig. Definitely a useful item but as mentioned I probably wouldn’t put one in an IFAK. I’d keep it in a larger kit elsewhere, being it’s not necessarily an immediately life saving device
@@VinnytwotimeWell you do you but i still Carry 2 in my IFAK
@@alexandervinckenbos The purpose of the IFAK is to be used on you, the wearer. The wearer does not dictate what goes inside. That's the medic's job. It's a versatile tool but it's not better than a dedicated item. For example, it can be used as a pressure bandage, but a dedicated bandage such as the NAR ETA works better. Another example, is you can use the Cravat as an improvised TQ, but a NAR CAT works better and has empirical data to back up it's efficacy. So yeah, I'll do me. -a medic
We used it as a "Drive on" rag back in the day. 🥃🍻🪂🫡🇺🇸
I am interested in putting an ACOG on my Daniel Defense 16” AR in 5.56, but I’m very confused with the amount of models. Any advice would be appreciated!
The TA31F is a very popular model for 16inch barrels. But it also comes down to what ammo you plan on shooting. 55gr. 62gr, 77gr or others
I have an israeli T3 version have carried it for YEARS on the single packaging thats not vacuum sealed anymore. is it sterile no, is it visibly dirty no, If i ever need to use it the hospital is gonna thoroughly clean the wound and probably give antibiotics. It still works. no sense on throwing away 8-10 bucks for a bandage plus shipping.
Love it, greetings from South Africa
They always come down in price
Is that Lake San Cristobal in your picture? Great review, thanks!
The short eye relief renders the ACOG unusable to me
Best system I have seen so far
Great video! I saw that you changed your backpack, it's a Hyperlite right, the 3400 Southwest? Do you like it? how much weight do you carry? Thanks
WHAT IS THE TOTAL WEIGHT?
I've been doing this quarter turn for awhile now but NEVER thought of witness marks! Buying a paint pen today! Thanks for all the awesome material you provide us, and for your service to our great nation.
What size do you use?
I actually do this too. I have a one hundred concepts light cap but I still do this. Super simple but saves me money on expensive batteries
Great device for people looking to get more knowledge about their health. Have a great smart watch and something on your rest. I can do almost everything you need to in the military.
Great watch for 2024 for any adventurers or athletes, or someone that just wants to have more knowledge on their health and a smart device on the wrist much like a computer I have seen one. I absolutely love it if you want something like a tactic seven get this if you want something like the Fenix 7 get the Venu 3 😊
Great device for people looking to get more knowledge about their health. Have a great smart watch and something on your rest. I can do almost everything you need to in the military.
Bought a few here and there in the past 20 plus years but sold them all . The Very first one was a used one (carry pistol by some fed agency) Italian made 92 CS.(15 round mag . Legal back in 1990 in Ca). Just yesterday I bought a brand new Italian made 92 FS from Turners outdoorsman here in west covina Ca. 🙂. 👍
the eye relief isn't too bad, but the eye box is atrocious, hard pass on all that scope shadow. sometimes you just gotta pony up a little more I guess. why do all the budget prism scopes have those chunky sub-tensions? Surely a fine horizontal line doesn't cost any more to produce than the existing fat one?
Bought my first Beretta 92FS in 1988 and own three of them. Only issue I had wasn't firearm related, they were ammunition related. When I started collecting firearms in 1983, didn't have all these option like we have today. People today have become spoiled and all they do is bitch, bitch, bitch! Know what we did before Glock and other firearms like it? We learned to improvise, Adapt and Overcome!
