“I’m a day shifter, I’m a princess when it comes to working nights, I HATE working nights” 🤣🤣🤣 you’re the best dude.

Not sure why KZfaq decided I needed to see this but glad I did. I am an electrician and have a bit of a tool/gear obsession. Great video I'm off to check out your flashlight review now.

Starting my EMT course today. Thanks for being my inspiration

You’re the reason I became EMT. Thank you. Side note: you’re videos are pure gold.

Thank you for your service! I love you guys! You inspire me to be a paramedic

My dad was inspired by you he was a paramedic 3 months ago and that time he always watches your channel that’s how I’m watching your videos

i really like these EDC's it always give me ideas to upgrade my EDC

Omg I live in Colorado. Glad to know your with us

A very educational video about the emergency services!

Hey man, just wanted to thank you for your instructional content; some of it was super helpful when I was studying up for NREMT earlier this year! If you don't mind me geeking out for a sec on boots... Dunno if you've ever heard about this, but I think there was a study done some years ago by the US Army on boots and socks. If I remember right, it found that the best footwear layout was (from inside to outside): a thin, wicking sock (ex high% polyester sock); then a slightly thicker merino wool sock (I love DarnTough socks); and lastly the boot. The inner sock just kinda glides around within the outer sock, preventing blisters/hotspots/chafing. Plus, it dumps all your sweat into the wool, which can keep you warm even when wet. The whole setup ventilates well enough to use year-round too. It's how I've always worn my boots, and it's never let me down yet. Boy Scout -> EMT -> CSAR hopeful/trainee

Great video Sam. Keep them coming.

I started EMT-b class yesterday and I’m so excited! I wish there were more get ready with me’s

I'm an Aspiring doctor . I also Really Like What The military does. I really like Your Detailed Videos Please keep it Up!!

In Germany nearly every Paramedic and Firefighter get Haix boots issued, these Boots are fantastic!

Love the X-Shears. I have 2 pair of them. Like you say, they are much easier to clean after a messy call. I have a set of raptors as well, but rarely use them anymore.

I love watching you. Can't wait to start my EMT course in a couple months. I'll know a little more than my peers lol

Best comment I read about this topic so far: "I was always lucky enough to have a colleague with the stuff I needed on his belt, so please keep doing it!" It's a pain, that many people judge their colleagues by the amount of stuff on their belts. For me it has always been quite simple: if it's annoying in the pockets, it goes on the belt. And to be honest it's not such a big deal on the station I work at, since many of the more senior colleagues have quite a lot of equipment on their belts. From my experience it's often about having a reason to carry it in the first place. Afterwards there's hardly any difference between a few things on the belt and stuffed pockets. It's actually a bit more handy to have it on the belt since our pockets don't have quite much internal structure.

Great video as always! Good to see more people sporting the Kick, did a video on mine a while back. Its just super light weight for a leatherman of its size. Thanks for sharing!

One of my fav para edc channels!

I'm glad someone validated me carrying an ankle first aid kit

Love the intro also, keep on going what you are doing!

Hey Sam! In the future if you’re ever looking for another belt I’d highly recommend Alonso Defense Group. The belt itself is made of scuba webbing so it’s super stiff, water resistant and the buckle is made of a non magnetic material so it doesn’t rust or anything either. I’ve used one as my battle belt for a year or so now and I love it. Keep it coming with the videos and we all really appreciate the work you’re doing

Awesome video! Thank you so much! Hopeful emt, 1 more week till the final then NREMT

Very similar to what I used to carry as an EMT. I couldn't give drugs so i never carried a carpuject. I had a vest i actually got for free from a family friend, his police department changed the vests every 5 years and they still had 5 years left on the date which carried me through until i became a nurse and left EMS. I used to wear it when i worked in the city, as well as my transport job when my truck would go to Reading, PA, Philadelphia or other high risk areas. Even though i didn't do 911 in transport , the areas were often high drug and it made me feel comfortable in the rare case someone tried to rob our bls unit thinking we had sedatives or opiates

Yes! Thx for making the vid

Excellent and very interesting video mate! Good onya

You are the only reviewers so far that so the side of the placard.

You make great videos man, I just find it funny how different agencies are from each other as well as the people within those agencies. I’ve worked in EMS for almost 10 years in a very busy system in central California. We wear T-shirts in the summer and sweat shirts in the winter, and carry as little as possible for the most part. We definitely have a comfort > everything mentality haha. Me personally, I use a radio strap that has a shear holder on the radio bucket, and I also keep a flashlight and pen on the strap as well. I, of course, always have my phone and wallet on me as well as a sharpie, but thats really it. I guess keys too for the rig, but other than that I can’t really think of anything. On calls, I print a strip of monitor paper and write everything on the back of it. We transmit vitals via cloud, and we don’t have name badges or class B’s. Very different from what you guys do it seems like, pretty interesting. Keep up the good work!

Looking forward to grabbing the seeker II when olight has the sale. Seems like a solid light.

You can pop the cap off the carpuject and draw the meds out. Great setup.

How have I missed on this channel for soooo long

I had a very similar loadout when i worked on the rigs at the fire dept. I didn't keep anything on my belt. I had the radio sling with the rechargeable L light attached to it. I didn't have the badge luckily.

GEOTAB! I'm glad we aren't the only ones who have to deal with it haha.

Olight will have 24 hr sale on 8/29 (a few hours earlier for Pacific time zone): Seeker 2 for 30% off ($77) and a bundle with I3T for 40% off ($79). The light Sam showed is the Pro version of Seeker 2; the one that will be on sale is a new simplified version that doesn't have the cool indicator lights at the switch.

Great presentation.

Same thing..youtube sent me here but In glad...as a firefighter volunteer. o really appreciate it.

As a new EMT-B that's also about to start paramedic school I love your videos

thanks for sharing !!!

Good vid buddy nice gear

24 hour Super Rural County 911 Paramedic in Missouri. Two counties covered. 1,000 sq miles. One ambulance per county. Have to be ready for anything and everything. Nice to see what everyone is using.

I'm about to start my EMT class as a precursor to paramedic. What kind of gear/clothes should I have for class if anything? Love the videos. You are a natural, no ahm, ums, or info that is not worth hearing . Thanks

Very cool! It is great to see what you carry... I may have to get an LEO one done...🤔

This is very interesting. Yeah using an older Apple watch is a good idea at work. It can get dirty and beat up, so you won’t have anxieties as you go throughout your day. Cheers mate!

Awesome video! Subed!!

About that flash drive, you should grab one of the Sandisk Connect models of flash drives, which have them ranging from 64 GBs to 200GBs. They have the ability to connect to your phone or tablet via the app as it generates its own wireless signal to connect. May be useful, not really sure what conditions you would have to go through, but seems good.

You should look into lights with high color rendering index for examining people

Good work keep it up

“Haix” gets pronounced like “hikes”

I love those 5.11 pants. Unfortunately my company only has us wear off brand cheap pants that had exposed threads/seams from day 1. Not water resistant either like the 5.11s. I'm gonna have to check out that guardian angel. Looks way cool, lots of different uses but we're not allowed to wear anything on our epilets. We also dont have ID badges, which I always thought was weird.

2:32 That steel cord may be known as a gear retractor.

It may not be my position to comment due that I am not in your business although I am a huge fan of the deluth trading fire hose pants as tactical pants.

Nice video!

"They have a zipper on the side if you're a 24 hour truck, or just lazy" 😆

Part of me wants to get the EMS pants even though I’m in high school mainly because i carry odd things in my pockets.

HAIX from Germany 🤙🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Check out the klikbelt 2-ply tactical. I used one while in the army and it was quite handy

I just joined the US navy I'm going to be a hospital corpsman, informative about the uniforms EMTs and paramedics have

Can you do an updated jump bag video as I’m interested to see what is different in the jump bag that you carry in Colorado in the one you carry it in Iowa

Say hello to Brett and Lisa for me. I used to work over there and am now in TN. Good video as well bud.

I use to be an EMT/ Firefighter. wow I kinda miss it now

Not only do I have a bar light for my shoulder but my other shoulder has a back up alarm for extra safety.

I use hemostats for clamping off arterial bleeders

So did you continue to work as a sheriff for your local Department or are you only doing the paramedic field now?

Can you do a truck tour of your new rigs

Haix boots FTW!

Colorado Dep here welcome to the Rockies. I had no idea you moved

Dude has a serious widows peak he looks like Eddie Munster or Count Chocola haha I can't stop looking at it

Ditch the CAT and get a blue piece of cloth doused with essential oils 😂

Perfect video! I say thank you 💪🏻⚕️

So glad I found your channel! I start my EMT class tomorrow.

Change your boots to Haix X1 believe me they are much better for EMS and great for summer and winter!

I'm ems provider, I like your stuff, I only carry medications bag and stethoscope on my nick and small flashlight on my belt

Спасибо за отличные видео!

Are you no longer doing SWAT stuff in Colorado? And is there maybe a plan for that in the future?

PrepMedic, do you ever use the RiteInTheRain EMS books? Are you familiar with them, if so, what is your opinion? Also, at 9:18 I saw you're using the gel pen, do you find that still works for RITR books? I haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the great videos, and suggestions. Keep it up!

What monitor does your department use? We use Lifepak12 and I can transmit my vitals, ekg directly to my tablet. We use Safety pad for our reports.

Does the littman master cardiology work good for manual blood pressures?

Updated videos of new rigs, jump bags, drug boxes, etc

The Taclight EMS pants are nice, but once 5.11 came out with the Stryke EMS pants I am never going back to the Taclight.

Try leatherman wave + for your knife it is very good

Awesome vid! Only question is, isn't that a gel pen you have with the RiteInRain notepad at 9:22? I thought they didn't work.

Have you ever gotten your pants tapered at the tailors. I have the 511 EMS pants too but they are super baggy. The first time I wore them my daughter asked me if we were going sledding because she thought I had snow pants on. Everything about the pants are great I just wish they were just a little less like MC Hammer pants.

when you smile you kinda look like Jimmy Darmody in my opinion

Saludos desde Lima Perú 👏👍

5 months and 21 days until I start EMT training, in colorado lol

I need a job in Colorado! We can’t afford this sweet gear here!

Would you recommend Haix boots for Law Enforcement? I’ve been wearing 5.11 boots the last two years.

I’m joining my Ambulance corps, and I am wondering what is a good knife to carry?

I have never been able to find a setting to make my apple watch stay on for as long as my wrist is up... can someone please tell me where it is 😂 and google wasn’t able to tell me. I have to turn off the screen then tap it on to make it stay on for 70 seconds (weirdly precise Apple) heh

“Unknown driver, unknown driver, unknown driver”

You should try Delta combat boots

Take a look at the Victorinox rescue tool, I'd really like to get your opinion on it

Looking at what LEOs, soldiers, construction workers carry, its all a version of soldiering. Uniform, LBE, PPE. The ones making fun of a bat-belt-wearing medic are usually the ones who are just too cool to carry anything with them. On scenes, they wanna borrow stuff from the guy who isn't just too cool. I retired from a busy service where it wasn't practical to strip down to go to sleep. So I had a belt with radio and a few other things, pull-on boots (steel toe, waterproof and EH rated). I could usually beat younger guys to the rig. The thing that kills us most frequently at work is vehicular crashes. We should be using seat belts in the back, and wearing a helmet. We need multi-purpose PPE. Like a helmet that provides reasonable crash and ballistic protection, but doesn't look like a combat helmet. FR rated uniforms with high visibility features. Ballistic vests that look more like a traffic vest. If we pack heat at work, and I do, it should be concealed. As far as EDC, every medic should have a light source, cutting tool, comms, one set of PPE (gloves, mask) and a quick reference source be it cards behind your ID badge, a pocket guide, etc. And a goddamn pen and something to write on! I work at a slower, kinder and gentler semi-rural service now, across a bay from an island city with a large level one teaching hospital. Some of my crews are just too cool to carry stuff with them. When they want something of mine, I tell them to walk their happy and/or unhappy ass back to their rig and get it.

Would love for you to do some trauma classes here in Colorado.

Solid question, who did your custom fit earpiece? I’m local to CO and my earpiece gets stupid irritable after about 2 hours of use

Are you dpd when you are a swat med?

Been a paramedic in Chicago for 10 years... all I carry is a pocket knife and a pen 😂 I wouldn't be caught dead carrying any of that stuff... especially the super cringe sheers in the pant pocket 🤦‍♂️

Have you done a comparison between the dark angel medical and warrior poet society ankle trauma kits?

do you wear shirt stays that attach to your shirt and socks to keep your shirt from coming untucked?

Lights on go
