Can't get enough of your TCCC related vids! Combat medicine is such an glamourless and under-appreciated topic, until the day comes you need it.
Thank you for the compliment. I agree, it’s not the most exciting material but it damn well could save a life.
@@ShawnRyanShow Not the most exciting? Yeah, well until your hit then holy fuck its super exciting! lol : )
Rut is such a genuine person... hard not to like that guy.
He’s that one friend you can take in small doses
we are from different countries but thank you for your service. it's actually interesting to see how closely related this is to combat medic training in the canadian armed forces. i took the basics but a lot of is ringing true and reminding me of my yearly training. much like you guys, im also an operator in the special forces here in the JTF2 and currently still active since 2003. ive ran into you Team guys a few times on different deployments and it's always a riot. it was always a cool time. wish I could meet you guys! anyway, shawn, thanks for the content brother. i only just found you guys recently so im trying to catch up on your vids!
Great video(s). I think it is awesome how you also take the time to reply to nearly every comment. Dont see alot of that anymore. Most people just want the *LIKES, SUBS AND COMMENTS* but never really take the time to interact with those people who give them all those numbers. Keep it up. Carry on.
Thanks for noticing and for the compliment. Cheers 🍻
Every “good guy”should watch your vids. Very informative and to the point. Thank you for your service, both of you!
Thank you Matt. I appreciate it. Have an awesome weekend!
I was a trainer for combat medics, for 12 years. I remember all those things you talked about. I enlisted in 83 as a medic.
Thanks for serving 🇺🇸
Enlisting as a medic was the best decision of my life! Love hearing these guys talk about their medical experience!
Currently at Fort Sam. Learning TCCC right now, love it
Shawn, class 291 here, you going to do a vid on what you have in your bolt bag? Enjoying the work.
Cheers bro. I’m going to do that one soon. 🔱
Rut has it right, content is just awesome. I love all the videos, but this TCCC is in my wheel house as a med student. The logic is right on and learning about TCCC makes my hair stand up, its exciting. Thank you Seals!!!
I’m stoked you like it. Thank you
Snowboard Operations heaven, thank you!
Just found this channel and really have enjoyed watching several this evening. This is what our greatest Americans are all about. Notice the sentence around 2:08 and the cities mentioned are not just the largest, they also have the most restrictive gun control measures in place that cause the most trauma to civilians. Keep that in mind in the upcoming elections.
God bless you men and thank you so much for what you do and have done with your lives. America's Finest role models.
David`s energy and optimism is inspiring. Especially when you consider the fact that this guy has probably seen and experienced more than enough traumatic crap to give most people PTSD for life.
David? Who's that? Oh...wait...you mean Rut? haha! : )
Man y'all are good men. I've never served in the military but have major respect for every man and woman serving in any branch. I respect what you are doing. Keep it up
Saw a video yesterday by Wil Willis(Army Ranger and USAF PJ) on how to do the Ranger Roll when needing to carry casualties. Talk about badass!
Watched 160lb guy roll up and carry a 220lb guy on his shoulders like it was nothing! Best part was he explained that you can do this with all gear on, including your weapon. All except probably a rucksack. Able to be done standing, running, or even on your knees. At one point, he even did it from his back, while laying across the other guy back to chest. It was awesome to watch.
Excellent video and description of TCCC. I'm a civilian medic with a few years experience. This concept and curriculum works because of it's simplicity. If you're in the trauma business go out and find a TCCC course...good stuff.
Rewatching this again years later… still learning great stuff!
Man I love watching you guys, I look forward to Fridays just to watch your vids. Thank you Frogmen
Awesome!!!
We tend to forget this aspect of winning the fight. Very very informative.
Yeah... It's the biggest part. Thank you for checking us out. Cheers
Ok, when they talked about readjusting the TQs after the initial application, I’m convinced these guys really know what they are talking about. These videos are worth watching. Subscribed.
Got my SCW's pin at my first command and learned a little bit about causality care then i went to a eod mobile unit got my EXW pin and learned a lot about TCCC. Now im training the support guys going for their EXW what to do. I love the channel and videos!!!! Keep it up!!!
Ex medic here. I'm working on a downsized IFAK the size of a magazine to make it able to fit in a plate carrier with integrated pouches. It wil be very compact and space effective. Video coming in a few weeks. Let me know if you are interested.
WOW!!! Another amazing video by the best. As a first responder this information is not only valuable but speaks volumes to any and all regular civilians. Especially when it comes to M.C.I.'s. Keep the content coming.
A lot more content on the way. Cheers 🍻
Vigilance Elite Copy that!
Most underrated channel on UA-cam! Great content, no bullshit.
This was very informative and entertaining. I love the humility you guys always maintain.
Always a pleasure watching you guys share your experiences. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Great topic & info. I’ve been in fire/ems since 96 and we have changed and evolved so much. The battle field gave so much insight we use in the streets everyday. The general public is finally starting to learn ccc with active shooter etc..
Bottom line learn ccc it’s not only about bullets you can use it in everyday life!
Great job guys
Could be the most important thing you ever learn. Thank you for your service and be safe. Cheers
This is one of the most educational/entertaining video about seals out there. These are the details everyone wants to hear. Great job bois.
Great video, I remember even in boot camp in 2009 they taught the basics of TCCC. Then in 2011 my POG MP platoon went to EMV to go through combat life savers course and it was the best training. I miss the training now that I'm on the civilian side of things.
I was one of the first instructors at Camp Lejeune. (I think we called it basic originally. 95 maybe, the Army created the first train the soldier programs.) I wish i could see your kit. Mine is much bigger but it is not tactical it is for if a riot occurs. Of course you have a gas mask which was not shown. I also keep some Harley motorcycle glasses for eye protection but they will only last doe a few minutes because the plastic foam will absorb the tear gas. I also keep plenty of ophthalmic saline. But it is hard to get now because they require a prescription. I keep two tourniquets but have 5 bandannas I can use for covering the eyes and can be turned into tourniquets. So I require more bulk. I also keep a lot of ace wraps for my bulky dressing. I am just mentioning this because i focus on riot control. I could only assist one person with a gunshot wound. I am more worried about glass and gas. I like the ace bandages for blunt damage too. I am sure your kit is good, better than mine for combat. I watched Antifa so made my kit accordingly. I protect myself with a gas mask so i can get other out of the tear gas and give them some shielding for a few minutes. I protect the eyes and keep plenty of those bulky eye dressings for penetrating would to the eye. I am sure you carry hemostats. Good job! Blunt trauma and eye injuries are the main threat by Antifa so far. I went the C4 route so have different training. Thanks for the video. The only experience i have with SEALs is one who one of their wives, an LT, got drunk and forgot her good sense, I got out of there fast. I did not need a SEAL on my ass. I used to hang some at Dam Neck, i think SEALs went there sometimes. I ran into a Master Chief Diver in GTMO. But I was Nurse Corps so had no need to be around ya'll. God Bles you.
Even as an E4 Spc MP in the Va national guard, we were trained this way (TCCC) for casualty care, I still remember the old breathing, bleeding, shock, fractures, head injuries, burns for casualty assessment but they broke down everything their talking about here and our medic said you can remember the acronym MARCH for massive bleeding, airway, respiration, circulation and head injuries (I think that’s right)
Great video guys! Appreciate the time you spend giving some insight into the training that is available out there
My pleasure. Be sure to research your trainer to make sure their info is legit.
I really enjoyed Ruts knowledge on this subject, one can really appreciate his experience and dope that he carries in that dome.
Rutt and Shawn- Another great video- no smoke and mirrors. I re-watched it 4 times tonight. Thank you for sharing your experiences and history. Thank you for your service to both of you!
Blake’s first big paper on TCCC is what got me into Rescue/EMS. Great video!
Thank you. Who is Blake?
Vigilance Elite Ugh, not Blake, Butler. Cpt. Butler’s paper on Casualty management from 1993. Not sure how I made that mistake.
Med retired 11 bang bang. 13yrs. Thank you very much for your awesome vids. True to the end. Cordon the area, providing 360 deg security suppressing fire towards enemy. Lace report. 9 line if necessary. Mission dictates. The 😀👍 thank you for your service
Thank you for tuning in. Cheers
Thank you VE & TFL for this very interesting video! I wish I wasn't disabled and could take a course with you all. Thank you both for your Service and sacrifices.
I want you to send an email with a screen shot of this. I’m going to send you some free gear. Operations@vigilanceelite.com
Cheers to you 🍻
Vigilance Elite holy shit really, that's so freaking cool of you! Thank you very much.
@@ShawnRyanShow fucken right on.
I have heard people from back east refer to the places I like to go out west as only accessible by way of "DEATH HIGHWAYS", and I am way out 4 hours from any trauma centers shooting (always with someone who can at least call 911 and knows where we are), so this is super great content for anyone who lives out away from "the big shitty," I mean big city. Parts of my state are technically sovereign TRIBAL LANDS, and not actually the USA, so I am sitting on my butt staring through a piece of moving glass for hours on end, so a shoulder holster works for me, but I do usually (always) have a little Glock tucked somewhere, it's just really hard to access quickly through a seatbelt or a harness.
Never look down on a combat medic - you may be looking up at one someday!
Wow.. that shit is deep asf man.. that’s some serious advice
😐 Thats some profound shit...
Why would someone look down on a combat medic?
Not much of a NSW dude, more Army ODA guy but it really say's a lot about our 18D program that combat medics from other special operations units come to 18D training. It's super intensive!
@@FlexFast happens alot. Especially with navy corpsman attached to marine units. Marines have this expectation of what a corpsman should look or be like, so when you don't fit that image they may look down on you. Seems ridiculous being you never know when you'll go down in combat and need them to render aid, yet it happens.
Damn Shawn you have changed TREMENDOUSLY since this video was released. Keep up the great work!
I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE A CLASS WITH SHAWN AND RUT!
For anyone looking to see TCCC procedures in action, I would recommend "Inside combat rescue". You'll be able to see in action (Blood sweeps, IV/IM/Bone injections, tension pneumothorax/hemothorax, tourniquet installations, cricothyrotomy and many more things. Super interesting. Won't be as intense as what these guys go through since the PJ's don't go through initial contact.
Also great content Vigilance Elite! Keep it coming!
When will hats and shirts become available again? I REALLY want one of each! Keep on putting out Shawn! Love the videos and your amazing interviewer skills!
I’ve been able to listen to your podcast at work lately and remembered these ones. Had to come back to them. Love you guys God Bless
RUT that was some awesome stuff, Shawn thanks for the Q&A. I served with 3 guys @ Ft. Bragg that went SF, Beam 18D, Smario and Waldren.
Just found this channel. Thanks for the information. Medical info goes away quickly if you don’t keep up. I’ve been out of the game since 2004.
Dave has a great outlook on life, he's been there and done it, the best medicine is a sense of humor great video guys
I can’t say it enough on how Shawn seriously makes life saving content. Straight fu_king badass doing great things.
liking the medical vids.
Do you want more?
absolutely! hope you get a class going soon. would like to attend.
Yes Vigilance Elite we want more!
More please and a little more cow bell too. Lol
Great video thanks for all the info man! Been pushing people your way to watch the vids
Much appreciated!
Seals. You guys have a special place in my heart! US NAVY! MDSU-1 "Its hard to be humble!"
That’s crazy to see how far TCCC has come. Now in FMTB (where corpsman go before they attach to Marines) they’re teaching blood transfusion. I went through in 2012, they were still teaching IV fluids for resuscitation not whole blood. Crazy shit, enjoyed this video.
Gents - love all the videos but really like it when you two dudes get together!
I've watched these over and over, never gets old.
cool info .......bring on some more tactical medicine !!!! I'm in for the class!!!!! thanks again👊
Roger that, we will.
Great video babe! You and Dave make an awesome team! 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi babe!
1:27 18D (ODA/Green Beret) - Major props to SF in sharing their knowledge amongst the other SOF units at Bragg!
Thank you Shawn and Rut. My eight year old and I watch all your stuff together.
This guy helped write what I learned when I was in. I learned TCCC and trained Soldiers on medical shit as an Army Medic. I trained with 18Ds and those guys taught me a lot. Good dudes. The only thing I want to say about this video is that if you apply a tourniquet, LEAVE IT ALONE. Do NOT move it. Apply it high, and LEAVE IT ALONE. If you're qualified to move a tourniquet, you'll know it. If not, LEAVE IT BE. If you missed something, apply another where it needs to be, and leave the first one alone. We'll handle it. Also, please mark your patient with a "T" on their forehead, and time stamp that shit if you can. Thank you
Great discussion and I love the vibe between you guys. Real quick though...Frank Butler (who I met at SOMA) had an important role in TC3 but aren't you forgetting John Hagmann? I know he's been disgraced and wasn't a team guy but I went through his OEMS course four times and credit him with all my saves in Iraq. As I understand it, he had equal if not greater influence than Capt Butler on TC3 and I think we should credit him, but if there's a reason Rut didn't I'd be curious to know. In any case, thanks & keep up the good work you guys :)
Good to know the origin of real/proper medical training
Always good to know the history.
Even for us mortals (civillians) they teach first thing, is it safe to approach? Makes complete sense that you have to win the firefight first.
Also disappointed no one was in a nurses outfit
Haha 😂 next time we’ll have you on the show. I have the perfect outfit for you. Haha. Cheers 🍻
That's something Mat would do
BSI scene safe haha
Rut's posts in social media are my daily nirvana. What a cool and positive guy!
I remember seeing years ago, a soldier in Afghanistan was shot in the head by a sniper and lived. It was a one in a million type scenario. Helmet slowed the round, etc etc. Bunch of miracles occured in the blink of an eye. But what stuck out was how the surgery that got him out of the woods eventually was studied and now many lives can be saved based on what they learned from that one case. A 7.62 round ain't no joke. Apparently alot of cases similar to this occur in the states though. Usually hunting accidents. I'm just glad that the knowledge is there for civilian AND military first responders
Great informative videos! I like 'em all. Thanks for your service to our country and all that you still do!
Right on man. Cheers
Great to have the background and history of this approach, look forward to more videos on the subject.
Another great video as always. Both of you gentlemen have a heart use are great people.
Thank you, I really appreciate that comment.
Love the Vid guys, bringing back alot of stuff I forgot from 97'ish on Sill. Would love to take a course.
I remember tccc being the last course of corpsmen A school right before clinicals. Unfortunately I didn’t get to that part of corp school getting re-rated.
Thank you for your service and educating us.
Thanks to the both of you for another interesting video.
Yes best content on you tube Shawn. And I love story time with Rut, he's a great speaker.
Thank you for the awesome comment.
Vigilance Elite
My pleasure Shawn
Great stuff Shawn... Love your channel..... Dave is awesome.. What a great guy to have on your team.....
Thanks guys. Great video as always. Stay strong.
Thank you
Hey Shawn. What is the most humbling experience you have had ?
I'm always humbled when I talk to WWII and Vietnam Combat Veterans
I can watch these vids all day. These guys are great.
When I started to watch the video I had this pop out which asked if I wanted to see more medical videos or shooting videos. I would say BOTH ! When I got in the fire dept. 30+ years ago we didn't have much medical training, just the basic. Now everyone getting on must be emt's, which in my opinion is still behind. A town over has requirements that you be a paramedic and their 1/4 the size of us. In short, times have changed dramatically and so has the equipment used for it. Just keep pumping out the videos as I have yet to see one that I didn't like. Did you have to deal with cardiac arrest during battle or have you heard of any stories that other guys did ? For some reason this dawned on me even though I figured most guys were young and be in shape Sorry for the rant guys...✌
1984-1986 Combat Medic Army....Subject vid highly appreciated!
Back in the day, when I went to FMF training in the mid 90's after HM school..
They always emphasized putting rounds downrange before you even start working on the casualty.
Get off the X...
I 100 percent agree with this philosophy.
I worked with a DARPA program manager a long while ago and they were working on an estrogen based shot that would help the wounded survive greater blood loss. Not sure if it has filtered down to the military yet.
Can never have enough talks about TCCC, March protocol, RPM that good stuff.
My c.a.t.s. came with a TCCC card i.c.e. do you suggest filling that out off X. I carry my tourniquet every time I carry concealed just makes sense to me I figure if I have to pull I'm not the only one who is packing. The medical side of combat is really intriguing to me because can't win if I'm dead. Love to see more in-depth videos on this subject and maybe what as a civvy I can do gear, practice to prepare myself for or my family.
Very informative videos guys! Thank you Very much!
Greetings from Athens Greece
I wish TCCC was part of my trauma training. I think all trauma RN’s and EMT/Paramedics need to go through this training. Hospitals teach medics to rely on equipment as well as availability of resources and interdisciplinary teams but don’t realistically train like these guys do. Even in Trauma ICU many nurses rely on ultrasound assisted IV placements rather than teaching valuable vascular access skills.
You guys are awesome!!! Thanks so much for everything that y'all did and do now.
Hey Shawn thanks for all this teaching buddy. Hey if you had to choose only one gun between G19 or G43 for SHTF scenario, what would be your choice?
G19 no question
Vigilance Elite 😉 thats what I thought! Thanks.
Thanks for your service.
Appreciate this kind of stuff a lot. Expands my understanding and that is something that I find very valuable. Thank you.
Hell yeah!! So whens the projected date for classes?
Still working the details.
Great content and miss Ruts funny ass! keep up the great work guys! Wish you both well!
very informative and pleasant flow.
Another great video guys. Keep them comming
Thank you, we will.
Outstanding channel 👍
The moth to flame or children's soccer game happens in the fire service too sometimes when a MAYDAY is transmitted. The OIC must ensure everyone continues to control the fire while a team locates and removes the injured person. If everyone abandons their orders and focus's on the injured person the fire or fire fight will grow.
Great Med videos. Hope to see you in Cape Coral and the Military Museum in PG. Soon
Cheers 🍻
Hearing Ruts be deathly serious was awesome.
Really like watching these guys and hearing there stories which are very informative and can’t wait to watch some new content.
Learned something today! Thanks for posting videos like these.
Love the interviews. Great content.
Good shit! I'm curious to learn the difference for company TCCC, and how the doctrines differ.
I underwent TCCC at Camp Pendleton about 6 months before going to Afghanistan. Not so intense but very useful information and physical testing.
luving the intro!
Thank you. Have an awesome weekend!
That Shaun Ryan is pretty funny. We had a few Seals in our Basic Airborne course at Ft Benning in 1969. I wasn’t aware Seals had a sense of humor. I was wrong. That doesn’t happen often. Keep it up. Aloha
I don't know what's better... The video, or Dave's hair.
Hahaha
Since I just started appendix carrying, my paranoid ass couldn't stop staring at David's, LOL. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you for watching.
