SWAT Medic Third Line Gear: Medical Pack
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 вер 2018
- An in depth look at the third line medical gear carried by a tactical paramedic working in law enforcement. Third line gear includes advanced medical supplies that are typically too big or numerous to be stored on the medic’s person. Third line gear is usually left in the vehicle or at the entry point to a building.

Very cool medical bag, great video to go along with it. Keep up the great work!
As a very well prepared UK EMT, I absolutely love watching your videos! Cant wait to see more! If you ever have any questions for UK based EMTs give me a shout!
Watched your first line and second line gear setups like an hour ago, so I was wondering when your third line vid was gonna come out!
Then this pleasant little surprise popped up in my sub box!
Awesome work man!!
Same :D
Interesting to see what a tactical medic carries vs what we use. Thanks for your always great content.
That whole bag looks great patches and all 👍🏽
Hey partner I just stumbled upon your channel. You have great content. Keep up the great work.
Ahh bin waiting for this for months! Great gear and awesome vid as always ^^
*Nice kit!Thanks for sharing.*
*I have a pretty similar setup for my car bag.*
*I added a small and cheap pulse oxymeter to go with the BP cuff and stethoscope.*
*One thing I add to large kits, that I can't fit in small kit, is simply a bottle of mineral water (as big as possible).*
*You can treat a lot of things with just water (dehydration, flush wounds including eyes, burns, give meds, treat hypoglicemia with sugar, wash your hands etc).*
*I just have a cheap no-brand name one that I bought for $10 or $20 on Amazon I think.*
*They have gotten smaller and cheaper and it's as accurate as the more expensive ones we use in the ambulance.*
*It's just a quick way to get a pulse reading, I don't really need it for the oxygen saturation level since I don't have O2 in my kit anyway.*
Thank you for introducing this cool medical bag.
Looking forward to seeing a video update on your pack. Interested in seeing how things turned out with your small litter and your portable suction that was on order...
Awesome video, brother. I remember first watching you a couple of months back you only had 300+ subs and I was wondering why you didn't have more. Now you have 7.1K and that's great to see. Stay safe
Awesome video, love the channel
Oh man cool channel man, I had to sub, thank you for your service to the general public, stay safe out there! 🖒🖒

I love using the SWAT-T for junctional bleeds. It allows me to wrap a wound and attack it from multiple directions after packing the wound. I also noticed a few items that would be good to add, and this is just my preference, and headlamp, a couple of glow sticks for marking for LZ's, rooms, etc., you can also bungee a cloth litter to the underside of the pack to help with exfil over a limited range, and also an SPO2 monitor. Especially the SPO2 monitor since you really want to be concerned about hypoxia, as well as hypotension before placing an airway.
That SAMS splint, you can make tactical with the Cravat as a sling. Just a FYI from a Corpsman
Nice channel, best regards from Sweden!
Damn. I never would of thought to label my gear with name tape. Might need to look at that. Thanks brother
Great videos. I appreciate what you do. Nice med bag also. One humble suggestion. If you are able to maybe lactated ringers or hextend for fluid resessutation via iv. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Bruh you a cop, a medic, and apart of the swat team how do have time for this lol
@@PrepMedic dammn you must have a lot of time on your hands
He's a hero
He’s a firefighter too.
Emmanuel Goldstein he is not a thug for the government, he only works to protect people like you. . .wether you appreciate him or not
Emmanuel Goldstein I’m fairly certain he said PEOPLE LIKE you. Get over yourself.
Just found your channel, good video!!
That is such a good med kit
Hey prepmedic. Good video, really enjoyed it as well as the other two I watched about your gear. Want to say that an army medic trick for a manual suction device is a 20 or 60cc syringe and a npa. Put the npa on the end of the syringe and it makes a suction device good for fluids. Might need tape all depending. Play with it and see what works best for you. It's what I used.
I know that you 3 years of experience u can be as am taking care of my mother bills while she is in the last two years
Coffee I'm
Nice set up. I’m about to buy the same nar 4 aid bag. i found out its much cheaper if you sort out your own medical supplies than buying it ready. I didn’t see any celox blood clotting applicator. The powder stuff is great and they have one in a plunger.
Great vids
Great video seem like a great assist to your team🤟
Hey, nice video. I only miss the duckttape in your bag! It's very useful in an medical field. Maby something to consider! 👍
Whoooo new video!!!!!
Subscribed two days ago, just watched probably half your videos and really liked it! Honest, non pretentious, simple and informative videos. Keep doing some more videos! And please stay safe out there, the world needs more people like you!
Thank you.
A quick observation about the cover mesh; Seems like it would be pretty easy to sew on label tags or loop to the mesh for easier identification. Just a thought
If not I’ll offer you a free one-on-one course on basic sewing :P
Very well thought out pack! Suction will be a great addition. Especially with those king airways
The great ...the best !!!
When I was a Combat Medic (in ancient times), I created kits for immediate response to blood volume loss ( severe hemorrhage). I placed a 500ml bag of Lactated Ringer's, infusion set, 2 catheters, small roll of tape, 3" elastic bandage, 2" sponges, povidone wipes, surgical gloves and a "Hand Warmer" in a Zip-loc freezer bag. I could pull out everything I needed in one movement, start the infusion and then move to the next casualty. I would use a Hand Warmer against the bag when the fluid was cold and secured it with the elastic bandage. I used the bag, tearing it open and taping it in place, to keep the site from being contaminated by rain, dust ,dirt, etc.
Can you do a video on the things we need to do to become a paramedic
Nice!
SWAT-T tourniquets are recommended for K-9s.
Can you go over the Newer Olaes Blast Bandage? I've used the 6 and 4 modular ones and carry a few in my larger vehicle kit. I've thought of a blast bandage or 2, what do you think of them?
I can send ya one if you want to try them out.
P. S.
TY on replying for burn kit review, I look forward to it
ITwo pair of Kelly haemostats and a pen light
Another great video. Really appreciate that you do your research. Any recommendations on where to find these studies you keep mentioning?
Thanks!
"That's a humble brag" bahaha love it

Great video, and thanks for your service.
Are you familiar with the STAT Tourniquet? If so, what do you think of them? They're a relative new comer, but the quick deploy of these and ease of use as well as their ability to be used on small children has placed them high on my list of considerations, plus they are very compact.
I needed one of those but I thought they were regular paramedics. I actually "died" for 10 minutes and somebody saved me. The doctor didn't believe then (in 1991) that I was watching them do it; i.e., standing outside my own body, feeling nothing they were doing and watching while they did it. I think it was weird how I knew I'd just died but didn't care at all.
Gracias por el video me diste una nueva forma de configurar mi botiquin tactico saludos desde Mexico
Hi Sam,
There is now a NAR 5 Medical Backpack. Can you review that???
🤗
Great video! Where do you buy your supplies? Or where would I be able to purchase similar supplies for a personal kit? I'd like to have an IV kit and washes and stuff.
Great that you mentioned nsaids before ops. Our boxing coach stressed only tylenol in the days before fights. Would there be a role for opioids in your kit since they also dont encourage bleeding?
Love watching your videos, although I'm not in law enforcement or a paramedic myself (SAR volunteer).
Do you fund all of your own kit, or do you get money back from your department?
Hello Sam, thanks for your great vids. Please, what combatshirt are you wearing here? Regards from Germany.
HI PrepMedic! I have to know how you got into everything you do? IM a college student who went to EMT school. I love Fire, Law Enforcement, and EMS and want to be a part of all three just as you have! How did you do it? I want to be a LEO but also a paramedic! working for both fire and PD is a dream! any tips?
Awesome video, do you think a size D oxygen tank would fit if velcroed down? I'm looking to replace me SO Tech Tactical Go Pack as my first in BLS/O2 bag and I'm between this an a Hazard 4 Plan C.
@PrepMedic hey Sam, my name is JC im an EMT in the state of LA. I am taking a TECC aka Tactical Emergency Casualty Care training. do you have any suggestions?
while we're on the Topic of King LTs, im a EMT-b in NY and Kings aren't part of our BLS protocols but as far as i know they are in most other states, any opinions on the matter?
How do you feel about TK4 tourniquets? Cat and SOF-Ts we were told won’t work on kids. They said use TK4s
Where did you get the tactical paramedic patch that you use?
How about a cric kit? I suppose in a law enforcement environment maxillofacial trauma may be less common and evac times tend to be shorter than in a combat zone but I could see some situations where a definitive airway might be required, plus a cric roll isn't all that big. I'm not sure how effective needle crics are (in the army we use the traditional scalpel and ET tube) but in my mind having some kind of secure airway is better than no airway.
Nice video,just want to ask you if you have two people with gsw and they both need fluids,who takes the 500 n/s ? Stay safe
May I suggest the BDS Tactical medic bag. It's a suped up M9 bag. After using both i think it carries my gear better. Been using it for over 10 yrs now
Just checked out their website. Lots of gear at a more affordable price and made to order options. Thanks for the heads up!
hey nice video! I am just wondering why do you have to buy all of this equipment on your own? Shoudn't your employer pay for that?
Where did you go through tactical medic at? I just got my national paramedic and I'm working on the ambulance in Iowa as well. I haven't found any close classes around here
Pelham Training in Bloomfield Indiana
Good and informative video Sam. Would all Paramedic's be Tactical paramedics? That pack is sure compact and carries a lot of supplies.
Ben Burns
All paramedics are paragods
Once again nice video. Couple of Qs.
Have you heard of I gels?
Why no laryngoscope?
@@PrepMedic there a good bit of kit. Fast and easy to use . Been uesing them in uk for years. But a study just come out say no better out come vs ET tube vs Igel.
@@PrepMedic We use them for foreign object removal. No sure on cost but we use disposable single use ones over hear.
@@PrepMedic medtree.co.uk/trulite-one-piece-laryngoscope
Commenting on a old vid, but where did you buy your shirt/jacket from?
Can you make a video on what to put in a statpak G3 traverse kit?
@@PrepMedic wow thanks and love this channel I was looking for one like this for a while glad I stumbled upon URS your an awesome dude keep up the gr8 work!
How are you treating junctional wounds?
Out of interest, are you not allowed to intubate or use a laryngoscope? Are you able to gain IO access? Also are you guys allowed to needle/surgical cric for Emergency airway.
I would recommend having a litter carrier like a mega mover, just as a "In case."
Oh and an emesis bag, I learned to always keep one in arms reach lol
I may have missed something, have you quit working for an ambulance service and switched to law enforcement medic only? Also what are your restrictions like being a medic under a law enforcement medical director?
Do you not carry supplies to perform a surg cric or any quick clot?
I'm curious your reasoning on not having a laryngoscope along with some ETs, as opposed to the LTs. ETs provide better airway protection and the addition of the laryngoscope would make your forceps more useful. maybe there's something I don't get about it because my training is in the hospital and there is a rational for using the LTs over the ETs in a pre-hospital setting? I'm interested. In the hospital I can't recall a time we opted for anything but the ET... I mean with the exception of Crics. also, any thought to adding supplies for a cric to your kit? I'm actually not even sure if paramedics are trained on that... be interested to know. I would think that should be within your skillset.
Why not LMA instead of the King?
Are large abdominal patches not a thing anymore?
could you just stow away the thick straps in the zipped location and just attach thinner straps to the clips on the bag? looks like you can definitely mod in some thinner straps onto that bag.
No quik clot?
You don’t have analgesics for your als kit?
Do you pay for all of these medical supplies yourself? Or does your department pay for them?
Is a SWAT medic the same as a tactical medic? I want to be a SWAT medic. Any advice?
Are you a law enforcement officer or a paramedic I’m confused what do you do full time
Both, SWAT medic and paramedic.
@@MrJedi5150 In previous videos, yes, he has let us know what he does. A quick search will also give you that info. Anyway, what do you think about the latest firearm round-up in Virginia? I hear almost all the counties voted to become sanctuary 2A cities. Stay safe.
@@MrJedi5150 He was in the law enforcement reserve program which makes him a certified law enforcement officer. He said that in one of his videos.
Whats your opinion as a medic/swat medic on the RATS tourniquet? I have 1 in my truck and i EDC another one.
Thank you! This definitely helps. I own two rats that i keep in my truck. After reading this im going to invest in some CAT tourniquets.
George Klipfel
Does it work? Then use it ...
I carry either a 1st Med or a Blackhawk
Can you make a video with real case of your job or it is not allowed to make video during the rescue operation?
Nice kit and well organized..might want to think about replacing your king LT for iGels..work well and no worry of cuffs to inflate.. the only addition would be a beefy set of hemostats.. great for sticking though the hole of the IV gag and clipping to your patient.
Fucking. Amazing.
I might have to get this pack. Does the compressed BVM provide the same tidal volume as a regular BVM?
Christopher Dixon
Yes
Any reason you opt for King tubes, when standard practice globally tends to lean towards iGels? Seems to be an American thing, and if that's what you use in your day job, fair enough.
In terms of what you may be missing...
- Chest seals? I can't recall if you keep some in your other kits, but it would seem sensible to me to have some in this pack as well so it was comprehensive, even if somewhat redundant.
- I've seen tactical paramedics carry razors, as a way to increase the seal of their chest seals.
- Cling wrap, or an ABD size Israeli dressing (as it has a removable occlusive layer) may be beneficial for abdominal wounds and/or evisceration, also burns.
- Some kind of light source (again, I can't recall what you have elsewhere on your gear), like a headlamp or chemlights.
Sorry about the chest seals. I watched the video in full early, and came back and watched only most of it a second time before I commented.
Regarding the 'trauma wrap', was that packaged with the SAM splint? Is it fabric or occlusive? Apologies, it might just be difference in nomenclature between countries.
Overall mate, really enjoy your videos, especially since you make a lot of reference to evidence based medicine which is really refreshing.
Tom A we use Kings here in Maryland as well. We are evaluating the IGELS

budget cuts
How much money did it take you to build you sheriff paramedic bag
$0 it was payed for by the department. Otherwise the entire thing would run around $1500
Quick Question: how long does it take in training to become proficient enough in administering trauma first aid to do more good than harm to the patient? I would like to learn these skills but not sure how big of a time commitment it is. Thanks
Thank you! : ) I will look for some training, i want to be prepared in case i'm the first person on the scene. All the best to you, love your videos!

Hey. Do you pay for all this gear yourself, or do the department pay?
@@PrepMedic Okay. That is honestly a lot of money to pay out of your own pocket. But I understand you, safety for the team is important. Where I come from we don't pay for the equipment ourself. We get a pretty big budget per man, to get the things we need for service. Thanks for the answer, and keep it up with the great videos 👍
look at the 511 tectec plate carir
MTT TACTICAL
Or Don’t ...
Nice
Nice, mine is the similar but with glucometer, epi pens, Nubian and Naloxone. More packing gauze for junctional injuries. Added CATs to the outside molle for rapid access in mass casualty event.
Leave the pack at the door? Like even at a school?
Just guessing, but usually it would be door kicking normal sized houses, I'm sure a school or a shopping centre he would take it with him
Are most of these things in plastic reusable
Those in plastics are either there to be used only once and to be kept sterile or to be repacked and be used. So it really depends
Does NAR sponsor your content? If not, they should. You buy a ton of their stuff. I'm a bit more eclectic with what I purchase. I do prefer giving Dark Angel Medical my money when I can though.
Living in a country where both police and ambulance are state owned entities I find the concept of a "law enforcement paramedic" quite interesting. So are these people police officers upskilled as paramedics?
Here in Australia while we do a lot of scenarios with police and other agencies, we don't have such paramedics. Whenever we get called to a situation we just wait until the scene is safe.
One drug introduced in the last few years for us is droperidol, a fast acting sedative for psychotic aggressive patients.
He is a paramedic, but he also has police training. He is a reserve deputy
QLD? They are training some paramedics in TECC to operate with SERT/PSRT in active armed offender events. afaik it's HARU CCPs.
Tom A Really? I wasn't aware of that. I have two friends who are HARU CCPs, must ask them!
There's an AAO CPG out. It doesn't specify HARU. I'm not QAS, but what I've heard is that HARU primarily is being trained for TECC, although I suppose any ACP/CCP could be.
The thought process in the Midwest is that it's easier to train an already proficient medic to work with officers than the others way around.
I'm still in Medic school.... Why am I watching this XD
How do you become a swat medic
Im an EMT and a nursing student
No cellox?
@@PrepMedic I added a couple Celox-A for hard to reach areas, but in general I've never seen proper packing and pressure not stop a heavy bleed... I think the advantage of hemostatics is in deep wounds in the pelvic area and blast wounds (I.E. multiple smaller wounds, or very large wounds) where pressure over a large area/multiple areas may not be feasible with one person/yourself. Other than that, I'd estimate they are grossly over-valued and misunderstood.

just about every special forces and army medic says to put the tourniquet on the outside of the bag bleeding out can happen with in seconds putting them in a bag within a bag just dose not seem smart

I’ve heard the navy seal marsoc delta combat tactical swat critical care paramedics always keep the TQ in their left pocket
If you watch his other vids of the vest and belt he wears he has 2 on both so these are number 5 and 6.
It's three hundred empty ?
Yes.
For that much it should be Bullet proof 😂
Did it have them small bags In side or do you have to pick out a package of what you need
😂Yeah, it is pricey but pretty par for the course when it comes to a high end medical pack. First Spear, TSSI, Tactical Medical Solutions all sell their packs for about the same amount.
It did come with the small bags inside.
hey I know you from Payday :D

Pretty funny game, but from your opposing side.

In my experience, most people walk around at least a liter low on fluid to start with. Your not going to hurt an average size person with a 500/1000ml bolus. Especially during bleeding emergencies.
cliftonsuber actually that is false and recent studies have shown that for every 100 ml of non-blood products you infuse into a trauma patient you actually increase their mortality. NS has no clotting factors, actively fights clot formation, increases acidosis, and has no O2 carrying capability. If it isn’t blood products, it is hurting the patient.
