  • Space is at a premium in an AStar medevac helicopter. As a critical care flight paramedic I run a chest pouch that stores commonly used items and life saving interventions. This video goes through my entire Hill People Gear Kit bag piece by piece.

    Very well thought set up. The back compartment designed for conceal carry of a pistol is designed for fast draw. You just have to leave the zippers unzipped about 1 in from the top right corner on both sides, you then grab the zipper on the front most pouch and pull and it opens without any trouble.

    Do you have to fund your own gear/ supplies? Apologies if you've answered this in a prior video but I've only found your channel this morning and am loving it all.
    Also, what part of Colorado are you in? I really appreciate what you all do. A good friend of mine would have died had it not been for Flight-for-Life going clear up to Hwy 24 outside of Fairplay after a driver ran head-on into him as that driver attempted to pass a big rig on the double yellow line. He spent over two weeks in the ICU and wasn't supposed to walk again but today, other than some narly scars, you'd never know he was touch and go for a while.

      Yeah. Everyone carries something ranging from a candy bag in their pocket to similar chest rig setups. It’s pretty routine to transport patients on 3-8 drips and push 5-10 meds in the course of a transport and when you are functioning out of an A-star it really helps to have crap on your persons.

      We don’t stock lipid emulations due to storage issues. Our protocols allow us to order whatever we need from sending. It’s a great way to speed up patient care and make transferring complex patients faster.
