- In my opinion, ankle IFAKs are some of the best ways to EDC medical supplies. Today's video is an in-depth look at the Warrior Poet Society ankle Individual First Aid Kit.

SkinnyMedic sent Warrior Poet's IFAK to PrepMedic... Most ambitious crossover event in history
ikr? Is like when the guys from Chicago PD meet the guys from Chicago Fire 😃😃🤣🤣
His set up is a little backwards, but I work construction and in the last year. I have had to use mine twice and I gotta say, on of the times the guy injured would have lost his life if not at least his hand. But today he is doing just fine.
I wear this setup just about everyday!
SkinnyMedic how did you carry your ifak prior to the wps ankle kit? was there any 'break-in' period, where you were getting used to the bulk around your ankle?
Great review. Love WPS stuff. Nice to see it vetted by someone outside the channel.
I wear one every day. Had it now for a while and love it. I forget its on, so comfortable. I changed out the scissors to a foldable one.
Raymond Clark so it doesn’t feel heavy while wearing it? Doesn’t constrict blood flow to legs, or move around when wearing it? Etc
@@ReadySetGoPictures Not heavy, doesn't constrict. It doesn't move around at all. Very comfortable and not bulky.
@@ReadySetGoPictures Mine doesn't--it'll move down toward the foot but not spin or have hot spots.
i dont wear siscors in mine bc of that, what is the link to the foldable sissors you had?
You’re awesome man, thanks for the review! I love Warrior Poet Society, John’s an awesome guy.
You my favourite UA-cam channel and my favourite man in the world. Keep doing more. And please make a video about the full protective suit please. Thank you 😍🥰🌷♥️
I wear this as part of my EDC - it’s the best I’ve found!
Yeah - I added the same chest seals too. Plus there’s room for more good stuff so this is definitely the best on the market ! Love the review !
Love your videos! I shout out a ton of your stuff to my classmates/watch for myself so thanks a ton for the awesome content.
Another great video. You truly are my go to for reviews and advice that I can trust. Thanks!
I've had mine about 1½ weeks and it is truly comfortable. I did get the NARS shorter shears (about 1" shorter) and that made some diff. Regular Levi's are too tight (505) but I got a pair of 517s, the boot cut and it is fine.
I typically wear straight leg jeans or slacks, but if I were wearing cargo pants or boot cut jeans, then I think this would fit nicely. I particularly like how much stuff it carries. It just depends if you’re willing to carry the extra bulk.
Awesome video!!. Thank you for doing this video on a new generation of ankle ifak.
Getting mine on Monday. Can’t wait.
Ok, so this kit is primarily for off-duty use. Good to know. Better than your standard first aid box, because you're much less likely to set it down somewhere and forget about it. I go camping a few times a year with my family, so I may look into one of these. Thanks for the recommendation!
Thank you
Something I carry in this kit, is gloves in the side pocket, but also a single dose packet of aspirin and Diphen. Allergy and heart in mind. They are about 30 cents each if that.
What is the minimum and maximum length of the kit? I'd like to know what size ankle it fits. Thanks
Looks like a. Great kit has pretty much everything you need.
I'm going to start with;
I am no expert by any means and before the trolls crawl from under their rocks, this is ONLY MY OPINION.
I rely on a logical methodology when prepping a load out, weather it be EDC, Recreation, Mission critical, etc. The gear in this kit is top of the line - no doubt. The reason for carrying this kit is solid. Your review is on point as always. Where this kit is carried is debatable. When I plan an IFAK, I tend to formulate my plan on the worst possible scenarios. Worst case for me would be abdominal trauma that would prevent me from reaching my ankle in a solo scenario. I usually position an IFAK somewhere within easy reach of either hand. Usually waist level or higher. I also would position the kit where it is visible and easily accessible to any other member of my team if needed. This, in my humble opinion, is a novelty placement, "tacticool" but not realistically effective in any scenario where you would feel the need to carry such a serious kit.
Joel R. I am going to agree with that i am not sold on in Ifak around my ankle . Also unless your waring loafers
It will not work with boots and if you do any water crossing its toast
And for tourniquets are for combat etc civilian should use chest seals .
Joel R. If your in a vehicle its useless
@@warlantactical tourniquets and chest seals don't even serve anywhere close to the same purpose...
Cody Coleman you missed what i was saying
Civilians will take a round in the chest
Tourniquet is more for combat because tactics are different
99 % of time qauze packing and QR work just fine for transport
Are you going to be an EMS Expo Tampa Florida in March
I would switch out the crappy emt shears to bandage shears
I bought one and was very disappointed. The pouches slots are very small. I wasnt even planning to put alot of things in there. And what i planned to place in there did not fit.
Love the channel
Hows it compare to the Dark Angel kit for comfortability?
I know this probably isn’t relevant anymore lol but from what I’ve heard the WPS is the most comfortable compared to DAM/ASP/NAR etc.
Just curious, why not carry black gloves?
Hey, just found your channel and absolutely love the content. I don't know what part of Iowa you're from but I used to do a lot of instruction at Camp Dodge on outlaw motorcycle gangs, narcotics and undercover work. Keep up the great content and stay safe.
Could you recommend training or classes to learn or get certified on how to use the contents of an IFAK? Thanks.
Top Cat to get certified for the ARS needle as a civi you need an AEMT
Download deployed medicine app and watch the 3 hour video from CarryTrainer.
Raul, Thank You!

El Lobo, Thanks!
May I ask what you said “don’t carry black gloves” ?? Just curious
Can’t see blood or other fluids on them.
@@PrepMedic "That's so my enemies can't see me bleed. This guy gets it... he wore the brown pants." ;-)
Lol I actually just ordered this a couple days ago
Great Video!!
I wrap my wps ankle kit over the top of my high ankle steel toe boots
I was thinking about getting this kit next month. What, in your expertise, could one add to it and make it an option for just a regular Joe as myself? I don't have medical experience so it would be for emergencies where I could supply someone else in need. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
could you substitute the compression bandage for the swat-t tourniquet?
Why the sudden compliment of “world standard” for the Quikclot? Prior to this your general mindset was that it was only slightly better than packing gauze. Did something change?
he said hemostatic agents are the world standard.
@@jeremy5853 semantics, the idea is he has for a long time considered homeostatic gauze as only slightly, if any superior to regular packing gauze.
Neither. He said GOLD standard. And yes, QuikClot is superior to packing gauze because it has, as he said, hemostatic agents as well as the physical component to staunch bleeding. And whether or not he believes that personally, he is acknowledging that the majority of the EMS community does think highly of this product.
@@RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumber again, semantics. Regardless of what wording he used, the point is he had a very different view of quikclot in this review than in previous videos.
@@alexr1101 Fair enough. I haven't seen many of the previous videos, so I'll take your word for it. In the meantime, it's also true people may change their minds about things.
I'd like to hear you think about the weight of the whole kit. I've carried the same amount of stuff on the "Wilderness" Ankle Kit and it was annoyingly heavy.
Mine is not heavy. Really.
As a wise man named clint smith once said “who the fuck said carrying a gun is supposed to be comfortable?”
The same applies here. Who cares how it feels? It’s supposed to potentially save your life.
I bought this a few months back, been wearing every day. Not very comfy for a 10 hour day if you stuff it full, I only carry a "stop the bleed" kit in mine, A CAT and two NAR 4" minis and a multitool. Price is WAY too steep if you buy it pre loaded and just a bit steep buying empty.
Just curious, why did you say to not wear black gloves?
My son, the Paramedic (LVFR) says blue gloves are the only ones that work on a touch screen.
Thanks guys!
@@davedavedave52 That's weird. The most common type of touch screen works on pressure. There are touchscreens that use infrared heat, or differences in sound or light wave. Maybe the service your son works for uses one of those? You can use any type of gloves with the ones we have. Now I'm curious about what types of monitors they run where he works.
@@kusemono12 the iPad is what they use in the field.
@@davedavedave52 That's not true. I've worn purple and orange gloves, and those work on touch screens as well.
Why shouldn’t I carry black gloves? Because they are hard to find in the pocket?
They don’t show blood or bodily fluids
PrepMedic thanks for that. I knew there was a good reason.
Can you use HSA card???
So if I were to wear a ankle kit in cammies; you’d recommend the Dark Angel kit to sit on top of my boot?
Will this fit over a boot or would it not be wide enough I only wear boots
Could someone explain the don't carry black gloves comment? I'm a novice sorry
In my experience its hard to see blood on black gloves when checking for bleeds.
Can you explain why not black gloves?
Can’t see blood or other fluids on them during trauma sweeps.
Outside of hard to see on dark colors, why no black gloves?
You can't write on black gloves and it's harder to see blood if you're doing a blood sweep.
Please collaborate with active self protection.
@prepmedic
I feel like I would have to be wearing enormous JNCO's or something to wear an ankle setup like this.
Checked out the link to purchase. Good product but not even close to worth the $127 price tag.
Buy the empty one and fill it yourself. I did. It's somewhat cheaper.
Do you have any other links that ship to England???? As skinny medic doesn't 😖
So I've seen a ton about ifaks and one thing I never see is narcan kits? Can someone please expand a bit on the pros and cons of these? I know at work (emt) I'm much more likely to throw narcan at someone than a chest seal yet most kits are more likely to have a seal, thoughts?
Narcan is mostly pointless for the everyday civilian to carry around. Just rescue breath (with a pocket shield) for them until a rig arrives.
@@PrepMedic can't argue with that, I mean I guess I'd much rather the firefighters deal with a combative PT rather than myself
Love your videos but I have 2 questions. What size NPA do you recommend and did you have to have a prescription to obtain the chest decompression needle?
For an NPA measure it from the tip of the nose to your earlobe/ angle of the jaw to get the right size for you. as far as the chest decompression needle you can get them on amazon
28 French will fit most adults males. That's why the 28 comes in most IFAKs, because they are going to be likely used by a military and therefore most potential patients will be adult males. Measure from tip of nose to angle of jaw.
Thanks guys. And I didn't k ow you could get those on amazon. I know you have to have the medical directors perscription to obtain IV catheters.
@@wcsoblake85 No problem man, just make sure you're buying it for use on yourself unless you are qualified to use it. For example, I'm an EMT in california but am not trained nor qualified to use a decompression needle which is why I personally don't carry one in my IFAK. Some of my friends carry one in their kit in case they are hurt and a medical professional happens to show up on scene and is qualified to use it on them.
@@bobbya8241 Measure with the actual NPA, not a ruler. No one has made that clear that I've seen.
Why no black gloves?
Another person asked this and PrepMedic said it makes it harder to see blood or other body fluids on them.
Can you put a narcan nasal spray dispenser in that wallet pouch?
What is the weight ?
Can we get a prep medic/WPS Colab????????
Alec Steel!
HI
What about the black gloves?
Was going to ask the same.
A common technique how to check someone for bleeding is running your gloved hands over parts of their body one by one and then looking at the gloves to check if there is blood smeared over them. That is really difficult to do with black gloves because dark red blood on black nitrile will be hard to see. On blue, white or tan, the blood smear will be super obvious.

smolkafilip that seems logic thanks bud!
How about when wearing shorts?
You can still wear it
Fosty Looks kind of funny though...😄
I went with the Dark Angel kit over this one just based on those straps. Wasnt a fan of them
If you carry a npa it has certain lengths for people
Warlan Tactical a 28 French will fit most adults
PrepMedic i guess either way it will open the airway
PrepMedic you didn’t to my question whats the weight of it ?
I don’t know the weight. But it isn’t noticeable to me
If he uses it, I cannot have excuses for not using it
WPS!
i love your channel and videos but you say ugh so so so much just replay your videos and see
I'd rather have too much information than not enough. I'd never heard of this type of kit before this video, so I'm grateful for the expansive review.
So a backpack for your leg....
80.00 for something that costs 5.00 to make., Great product but come on it’s way over priced. I do love capitalism so not complaining but wow.
But $80 for a warranty that's on it and produced reputably
*I actually bought a Chinese made holster for $4 and modified it myself by adding pockets and velcro.*
*There's no way that US made one costs $5 to make if it's made in the US.*
Warrior Poet is a creepy fundamentalist.
Ben Tomlin how is he creepy? Friendly, conversational, good guy from my experience.
I'd also like to hear about this "creepy" not defending him I'm just curious what you mean.. from what I've seen nothing creepy he's a evangelist for sure but not really creepy tbh
bennie: you sound like the creep to me.
I would also like to know how you define "Creepy" I have had the please of being a part of WPS and talked to John. He's a very genuine and upright man
I was thinking about getting this kit next month. What, in your expertise, could one add to it and make it an option for just a regular Joe as myself? I don't have medical experience so it would be for emergencies where I could supply someone else in need. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
if you are going to carry the supplies then i’d suggest getting trained with a stop the bleed course or similar to the like, no point having stuff on you if you don’t know how to use it
@@Marcusboyce23 yeah, for sure. Only problem is, access. I live 2hrs from the city.
@@dasgespenst979 You can take the online Stop the Bleed course and get the basic knowledge, then complete the training with the class room hands on practice. You'd be surprised about class locations. I live in farm country and the class I took was only 12 minutes away.
