- This video details the medical contents of my SWAT Medical belt. This belt is a variation of a MARCH belt and has everything needed to control major bleeding and secure a surgical airway.

I never realised how great that top down perspective view is in these types of videos, good stuff
Nice man, it is these videos that help us adjust our gear accordingly!
Sam, I very highly recommend switching out your elastic dressing for a package of Battle Wrap from Safeguard Medical. It makes a fantastic pressure dressing / coban replacement, plus it is transparent so that you can reevaluate the wound. I also recommend switching out your ARS needles for the SPEAR. Great video as always! CRO makes great stuff!!
We are sponsoring a tactical paramedic event in Canada here and I am preparing for some setups from our product line that will work for tac medics. Your videos really help a great deal! Thank you LOTS.
I generally don't like ETBs, because I find that a roll of gauze and another ACE wrap do the same things (and more) for the same amount of space. That said, this is a very sensible and well thought-out layout for your kit. I'm looking forward to seeing part 3!
Like the idea of keeping trauma sheers on the vest. Planning to move mine now.
Love the video. Could you maybe make a video showcasing what you think other responders might benefit having in a kit setup? Like I’m getting into law enforcement and would love to know what I should have in my kit to act as a first responder to keep someone stable till EMT’s & Paramedics get there. Im going to be a State Trooper so help is gonna be a bit of a ways away for me.
I love your videos!! Thanks for helping us learn!!
you are the man! thank you so much
Amazing video again, lot of ideas to setup my kits. After watch this videos i setup my kits in 2 lines, instead of 1, belt and plate carrier. The only problem for me is where find and buy some of the itens you've shown, like decompress needles and good quality pouchs because in Brazil we dont have it :(
Nicely done
Thank you.
You should take a look into this emergency Rx medication 💊 kit call Duration Health. I’m very curious about it myself and considering getting one. Thanks 🙏
Sam you said you sometimes for get to swap equipment from your plate carrier to your heavy gear...why not have them both set up identical. That way it does matter which one you grab every thing is there on each piece of kit...I understand a cost in this but just a suggestion.
You should do a review on Immidate Casualty care they make a in the waistband ifak
In my city, a SWAT medic is SWAT first and medic second. Wouldn't this medical belt interfere with typical belt mounted options like a pistol or magazines?
Also, we are are now issued removable back panels for our plate carriers instead of the zip on back packs. New captain thought it was wasted real estate and he wants every officer to carry two throwaway active shooter kits so-worst case scenario-we don't look bad when we walk past the wounded in a mass casualty situation while we secure the scene.
I’d recommend adding a cric key or having a 18 gauge iv Cather needle. Not the kit. You can use the needle as a makeshift cric key by bending the tip. The hardest part about the cric is maintaining the trachea. This is coming from actually doing one and from instruction from one of the authors of tccc
I dislike the cric key and I dislike trach hooks. Always overcomplicate a simple procedure. I am glad TCCC removed their endorsement of it.
Hey Sam, random question, could you tell me what that Patagonia jacket is called? Thanks! Loved watching as always :)
Maybe its worth to change this light for something battle proven. Like surefire, streamlight ect.
The Hybrid IFAK, without being stocked or with the Medium Bleeder Kit he's showing is $215.00 USD in 2024.
I was curious if you had your TPC? If so, do you recommend taking an actual class prior to testing or could I just find study material online? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
Did I miss the scalpel and chlorhexidine in the crich pouch?
@PrepMedic I was wondering were you are putting your cric hook at in the cric pouch? I love the movable belt idea separate from your battle belt.
I don’t use a cric hook. I have never really liked them and the scalpel finger bougie tube technique works great and keeps things simple.
@@PrepMedic I see, that makes sense. Thank you for the quick reply. I appreciate it and all the content, techniques, and ideas you have on your channel. It has helped me a lot.
@PrepMedic where do you get the ID tags for your bags?
Do you have a link for quoting that "inserting an NPA into a potential traumatic head wound is now outdated?" Would love to cite it. Thank you!
Video Interest - Knowing what you know now, what would a sworn officer 1-2-3 line loadout look like?
Maybe add a one SWAT-T tourniquet in big big pouch ı thınk ıs multipurpose medical insturment (TQ or immobilizing fractured traumas ) and thanks for your expression ı have lots of thinks learnd. I'm 22 and volunteering in search and rescue association and imitate you 😇😇
Any thoughts on throwing a simple “boo boo” kit in the waist pack? Something like a sandwich bag with a few bandaids, a very small (1-2 oz) eye wash, a few individual packs of Tylenol, nsaids, and electrolyte tabs, and maybe a tube of glucose or energy gel. During the dc riots I had the NAR bag and ifaks and was ready for war. But I found that I was being tapped for headaches and boo boos more than anything. Being that we were on our feet for hours in full battle rattle, I kept the NAR bag either in a vehicle or on the ground nearby, having the ouchy pouch “on me” turned out to be beneficial.
I’ve also found that for high speed jobs, for some reason there’s a fairly regular occurrence of one of the big strong guys who skips breakfast before an early morning op and starts getting woozy from a low BGL. Candy, energy gels or good ol BLS oral glucose proves useful and keeps that guy in the game. Just my 1 3/4 cents.
I’ll keep that kind of thing in my cargo pockets. Really trying to keep the kit completely streamlined for MARCH
@@PrepMedic good call. I hate things sloshing around in pockets but good idea👍
As an untrained civilian I carry a "boo boo" kit on my belt pouch. Certainly helped me when I got blisters while hiking.
Where can I find the cric securing device you had?
What’s the name of the big pouch you have
I have a question. I have a couple of people in my family that are on blood thinners. Do I need to have anything special for them? I seem to be the only one who has any interest in first aid.
Regarding gauze, what is your opinion of using expired Combat Guaze? I assume the active ingredient may be less effective or rendered neutral all together, but I also assume the gauze itself would still be just as effective regardless? Would I be correct in my assumptions? Thanks.
I was about to ask the same question!!!
As long as the packaging is undamaged and unopened you should still be good , depending on just how out of date the kit is the active ingredient may not be as effective however it's better than nothing
Hey Sam is there a difference between a swat paramedic and a regular paramedic
usually a swat EMT is embedded with the swat team for a particular mission (ex: search warrant execution). When mission is done, the EMT normally returns to his regular EMT duties. Some large city SWAT teams have a full time EMT support but the majority don't. One big city in Canada has even a ER surgeon on their team. Many teams have one of the armed officers trained in emergency medical treatment when things are too dangerous for a EMT, some liability to consider when bringing a civilian with the team.
Do you plan on doing collaborations with any other UA-camr in the future?
ii would personally put the surgical airway kit in the backpack because it takes a lot of space on your waist and is not something like a TQ which has to be done in seconds
Why don’t you put in a tracheal hook instead of that hemostat?
I don’t use cric hooks. I have never really liked them and I was trained to do the procedure without them
Are you trained for giving first aid to victims of chemical agents? I ask that because I have a individual civil protection kit against chemical agents and it, among other things, has blistering agent antidotes and nerve agent antidotes in bag-syringes. It contains instructions on how it should be used but not what these antidotes actually are chemically. Do you know what it could be?
in the UK we carry 'duo dote' auto injectors (just like epi pens), that have atropine and pralidoxime chloride in them, meant for crew use for chemical agent attack.
Do you guys need to go for therapy after being on so many traumatic scenes?
What’s the best 5.11 jacket you recommend for EMS?
Can you do a review for the 511 AMP 72 backpack ?
Narcan and epi
Neither one is needed in a first line MARCH belt.
$650 for this belt?!? holy smokes
and it's empty, you still have to buy all the kit to put in it...
Holy crap $200 for a fanny pack!?
NPA>OPA 95% of the time. If you need more air double up.
Exactly. I don’t use OPAs anymore for hardly anything. If they can take an OPa might as well drop an IGEL
@PrepMedic out of curiosity why don't you cover both eyes in an eye injury, I was taught (NYS EMT-B with TCCC training) that if it's an eye injury you should cover both because if one is looking around the other is reacting the same way under the cover thus risking further injury. (No disrespect intended just curious where that school of thought comes from) keep up the amazing videos
I still carry a set of OPs and NPs because if my patient has fallen and smashed their nose, which is common for me as I’m a night club medic in the U.K, an NP isn’t recommended where as I can put in a OP if the need is there
There is no longer a contraindication of facial trauma for inserting NPAs.
@@PrepMedic wow, you replied. Just want to say huge fan, you’re the reason I got into medic work. I didn’t know that, the framework we are taught (FREC) says that we can’t use NPs when there is facial trauma. Possibly different in the states from over here

Unfortunately as much as i hate to say it.... maybe a dose of narcan... you just never know these days! God bless
Not in a first line bag. Have one in my pack for the potential person ODing in the house but that’s about it
✌🤝 လွှမ်းမိုး🤔 ok
$200 or more for empty pouches
Yeah. Quality costs money. This isn’t an “enthusiast” kit.
