also, non medical guys... It's okay to carry more than you know how to use. Any of us that show up will be infinitely thankful for the supplies you brought.
@@ProxyAuthenticationRequired LOL
@@cm2973 absolutely dude. It's always better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, as well.
My EDC truck bag has all kinds of shit in it. Chances are, I'll never use any of it... but if I'm involved in a wreck, or roll up on one, I'll wish I had it... and like you said, if I already have my shit out and a medic rolls up, they don't have to dig through their shit to get to something they need, or worry about whether or not they'll have extras for anyone else who may be involved.
What do you mean? It’s not like EMS would use someone’s stuff. There’s plenty on the truck to go around.
@aphunt12 my prior career was as a paramedic and as someone who's been at an active shooter scene, they aren't coming immediately. I can also tell you the equipment situation in EMS varies WIDELY.
@@cm2973I will say I have no idea 🤷♂️ where I am located we are good to go. Of course this is only covering a county that has 30K people and we spend a lot on police and EMS/Fire
"Its a dumb joke and I should edit it out but I won't because thats how I role" is in every video and thats why I love this channel
As a civilian provider I do airway for a living at a trauma center. This is not a tactical setting nor an EMS setting, its in a high speed but controlled environment which does not have to deal with a lot of the things described in this video.
With that said I am a firm believer in the KISS method and selecting equipment for your kit that is as idiot proof as possible; don't get fancy just because you want to be tacticool. When it hits the fan you WILL freak out, your hands WILL tremble and in retrospect you WILL be disappointed in how you handled yourself. You will react to these situations in this way until that point in time that your adrenal glands are desensitized and your confidence level has honed your situational awareness. Better to be prepared and effective than to pretend you're a badass operator.
As a 40 year Paramedic/APP, this comment is spot on. I would always reach & apply the simplest items in my bag of tricks or on the truck over all the fancy equipment because they never let me down delivering a stable patient with consistently successful recoveries back regular life.
@@pitviper1445
Yes, I cannot stress enough, the importance of *not* even having stuff in your possession, that you are not experienced with, simply to resist the temptation to try using it. A lot of the items in trauma kits are dangerous and unnecessary to stabilizing a victim until help arrives. If you think its going to be hard to helplessly watch someone you care about bleed out, just wait until you kill someone you care about, trying to do something you didn't need to... as you hear the sirens around the corner. Then, you have the 'off-grid/SHTF/WROL/etc.' scenario, where the harsh reality is that immediately saving a life, is just going to cause them a torturous several day/week long lingering death, instead of a relatively peaceful immediate death. Or even worse yet, they keep circling the drain, exhausting your supplies and compromising everyone's morale, but wont quite slip down the hole.
Same problems exist with items like body armor. Yeah, the high speed operator plate carriers are great for the battlefield, but when a soldier takes a round through the collar bone, he gets a medevac to a field hospital. You get dragged behind a dumpster by your wife, who gets killed(or worse) because she wont leave you as you die for the next 6 hours.
I recently broke and dislocated my ankle, stepping out to get the mail. Totally freak, one in a billion accident. My skin crawls thinking about that happening to me, without access to an ER. That would've ended my post-apocalypse right quick and anticlimactically; laying there with my foot turned backwards. Id have had to tie a shoelace around, until it fell off.
16 years as a firefighter, 23 years in the military. I don't care how much training I get. I still get excited, and things get a bit hairy. Like the good doc says. Keep it simple. Don't get all high speed.
@@springbloom5940 that's really gruesome and harsh. Important to hear though.
@@pitviper1445 A question: I am building a trauma kit for hikes in Bavaria. Nothing extreme I just like to go hiking on the weekend. What would you recommend me to buy in the medical sector? Could you give me your "must haves"? Would be a big help! Also everyone else who is certified in EMS or Trauma care or something similar feel free to Help me Out! Please excuse my typos, since English is not my first language and I am typing on my tiny cellphone! ;)
I know Navy and Army like to act like we're better than one another, but I was taught how to how to do a needle decompression by an 18 Delta, during live tissue training, who had to put one in himself on an op that went sideways. Mad respect for 18 deltas from a former FMF CasEvac Corpsman. Corpsman Up.
Ex Canadian Army medic, Current civilian ER RN. This video has definitely made me think that I don't have everything that I would need to operate within my scope if called upon to do so outside my workplace. I will be rectifying that. Great info!
I love how humble this guy is. He's been in one of the most elite units in the world and he's still sort of visually embarrassed when mentioning it and doesn't even refer to it by name.
Is this Mike best from BRCC?
@@loganbartlett8372 That is Mat Best
this guy is a badass! I wouldn't guess it by looking at his physique, but I bet he would outrun, outwork, and outlift me in his working days. Plus his face cleary says he is a no bs professional.
I attend a class with Jay and Tommy Gibson yesterday. I am eVery fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend that class...MARCH a very simple concept until stress is introduced Jay and Tommy literary stayed passed the class time to help and work with every student that needed the additional time. Very generous!
As a police officer of 20 years I was never trained to save my own life until the past 2 years. It was just never a subject that came up or was taught. 4 years ago I got promoted and was in a position to change the way my officers are trained. 2 years ago I got with my local FD and enrolled in an EMT Basic class and now volunteer with the squad 1 or 2 shifts a month to keep my skills current. And Last year I took the FLETC Basic Tactical medical instructor Course. I learned more in 2 days in that class than the 150 hrs in my Basic class. This guys class sounds very similar to the FLETC class and I would recommend it to anyone that is serious about knowing more about stopping yourself as well as others you care about from dying in an emergency. If you can get some medical training do it. I have used my medical kit and training more in the past 4 years than any other training I have recieved in the past 20 years.
Retired paramedic. Good info. Yes, you need every bit of that 3.25" pleural decompression needle. Get two btw. We call those shears "penny cutters" because they can. Throw in cheap foil blanket for hypothermia. John added two M67 baseball grenades to his IWB EDC holster.
As a paramedic in Wisconsin, this dude knows his stuff. Full of good information and knowledge!
this guy is an outstanding teacher. he speaks clearly and well. thanks for bringing him to us.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to click on this video and watch another IFAK video. I'm glad I did, this was one of the best conversations I've seen on this topic.
+338 MRAD thanks man 👊
I’m no expert at all. I was an EMT for 8 years but that’s my only major training. I know a lot of people who don’t carry certain things because they don’t have training. But you should carry the things these guys talked about, event a decomp needle. You may run into someone during an event who has the training and knowledge to use that for critical intervention. No one with medical training is going to be upset if you hand them an IFAK during a time when they are trying to save someone. Food for thought.
Yes, I have zero training and I have about 30 lbs of wound care items, airway, celox, etc just for the likely event that someone other than myself can join in. I am a worry wart and believe in being prepared.
That's a very good point. Better to have the mentality that someone more skilled than you could be on site and not have the gear they need. A good perspective is to remember that your IFAK is just as likely to be used to save your own life.
Good point. I do security in my church and there are lots of medical people around, so if I have say a decomp needle and the most trained person could use it if needed. Meanwhile the ambulance would be in route.
If I'm not mistaken you can't purchase the airway and or needle without a certain certification ..?
@@DJK6914 It's all findable online, but you may have to do some digging and need to know exactly what you're looking for. Something like a QuickTrach is around $200, and there is very rarely a situation where using one outside of a hospital setting would amount to anything but unnecessary, unhelpful torture. And then it's even less likely that someone would be there with sufficient training and experience to actually make use of it. If you do decide to carry stuff like that, still understand that, like Jay wisely said, knowing how to establish a positional airway is more likely to help, and so more of a priority than any highspeed doodads that even paramedics would hesitate to use in the field.
I started watching your channel, cuz my husband made me, but now I watch it to help me overcome my own fears but to also gain knowledge
I started about three months ago building my trauma kit via MyMedic. I’ve put it off for a long time now for it can be very intimidating. I now purchase parts and pieces as I can . They really made it easy for me. I was pleased to read here the encouragement to buy stuff that you don’t even know what it is. Done lots of that!! I’m about $300 in with more to go. Thanks guys!!
You forgot to mention the SpongeBob Band-Aids you old, hairy chested, gun tootin, pearly white smilin, poetry readin, tactical ninja family man. Stay humble John- great video as always.
+Jesstin Fryling hahahahahahahaha

It's awesome to know that MARCH has survived the ever constant change in medicine.
Attn: 2020. Thumbs up if you thought you had a decent IFAK with at least half the skills to use it, and just realized you have a half an IFAK with shit for skills. Thank you both for the knowledge. You rock WPS!!!!
Hes one of the most impressive people ive ever heard
Just passed CERT class, in which told DON'T use a tourniquet ever. Point they make is that CERTs are to save as many people as possible...of course what this discussion is all about is a different subject. Thank you so much for posting this & Jay Paisley's experience!
Interesting. I took a CERT class, too and they made a huge deal about using a TQ as an effective tool.
Congrats on the ballsack Lovell, you could use them as a flotation device in a waterborne emergency
hahahaha
I still have just about every pair of trauma sheers I ever acquired during my time in, they come in handy almost every day
How does this video not have more views? I reference this every time I want to make a medical kit.
Jay is a good dude!
SkinnyMedic met him at shot show, awesome guy. Super smart.
Jay is a bad ass!
This video is money. Could listen to Jay (or any SF Medic) all day - so many of us neglect medical training. Thanks, John.
Great video. I appreciate the insight into the IFAK. I've taken a few Dark Angel Medical classes over the years. This seems to agree with their philosophy. Interesting stuff about the decompression needle.
I am thrilled. Jay is the real deal
I didn't realize how long this was. I'll have to come back to this and bring a notepad.
I saw 40 minutes, no way I’m gonna watch that. Finished it out because he knows his stuff!👍🏼
One of the most informative IFAK Videos I have watched. I have a couple kits, mostly copied from USA IFAKs. But realized I needed training. So I am scheduled for a TECC Class in October. This discussion was really helpful!
Worst case scenario you can use that gauze packaging plastic as a chest seal as well... good stuff... this guy is legit. 👍
I read that there is a higher success rate in the application of a decompression needle if it's applied in the 4th intercostal space on the midaxillary line, rather then the 2nd intercostal space on the midclavicular line.
Jay Paisley... serious pipe hitter right there. You guys ever consider being part-time Cadre for GORUCK?
Not as exiting as normal however it is probably the most important topic you have covered
I must be the only one that thought the audio was fine. Great video as always. Was pumped to see you had Jay on.
As a LEO in a rural area I keep an IFAK because my medics, while well trained, have day jobs. I might be waiting for help so I hope I can treat myself quickly to stop dying until help gets to me
I buy gauze and stuff like that at Dollar Tree, Walmart also does sell quikclot
That’s joke about hating life was dark but one of the most relevant things I’ve heard in a while
"i know, lawyers ruin everything in medicine"
made my day
Doc Paisley needs to get back to making videos on his channel.
I know this guy. I did some tac med courses and shooting courses with him. Cool as heck. I learned a lot from him.
#1 thing to have is the knowledge on how to use it.
Wow what a great video. Even as a seasoned medic there was a lot to think about. What a dialed guy, wish I could hear more.
I keep a tourniquet, Israeli bandage, compressed gauze, hydrogel chest seals, and trauma shears in a little pouch on my vest. As a civilian, I keep it with me anywhere I go with my rifle (range, open carry, etc).
27:15 These are great. "If you have one then good have two." If you have two then better to have three."
That roll of gauze at CVS is more expensive than the "cool guy gauze"
I took the Dark Angel course a few years back and it was money well spent! Just as, or more important than training to sling lead, in my opinion.
Thank you Sgt. Lovell and special guest Special Ops Medic J. For a great advice. These is significant items to carry along. In the case of emergency responses. I am really appreciated for these knowledge. Sincerely.
Great discussion about bare bones medical necessities, and a good refresher for me since my TCCC class was just over 4 yrs ago. I also shared this with a few buddies in a fb group so they have an idea of what kind of med gear to look for when building their FML/oh shit kits. Audio could have been better, but it sounds like it was something out of your control. Keep up the good work John!
Oh John the audio is killing me. i hope that new equipment will be coming in handy soon
+Ethan Blankenship sorry man. We didn't have power and had to improvise. Better audio to come
you have to work with what you have. keep coming out with more vids! i love the content and watching the channel grow. keep it up!
Another great Ballsy video , Me as a civi/hunter a CAT tourniquet, 6" Israeli bandage and Celox are a must have and close by at all times
Probably the most useful video I've seen on UA-cam
I know somethings you don't cheap out on, but what about getting CVS or dollar store first aid supplies and vacuum sealing them at home to be cost effective?
Fantastic discussion
Love this talk. An absolute wealth of information regarding battlefield trauma and triage. No time like the present to make sure your kit is in order.
medical advice is always appreciated...not alot of good gouge out there. This was a useful interview
Great interview. Very good info. I've been a EMT-I for over 29 years. Just keep it simple and have a good evac plan.
Excellent video. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one using ace / elastic wrap with gauze for a pressure dressing... Old school but works great.
If you need a Tourniquet, and do not have one you can fold a Bandanna in a wide strip, and take a sturdy stick and put it in the knot, and twist it to tighten it up and the retie the end of the Bandanna around the stick again to hold it in place and tight. Also use a Female Sanitary Napkin on the wound and hold it in place with a ACE Bandage. The Are made too soak up blood, and will help the blood too courgette.
Wow, full tccc class on UA-cam. Legit
The 3 people that disliked this video probably think a tampon and a leather belt is excellent for controlling mass bleeding.
Thats how my wife does it every month.... :-)
Maybe with a leather belt yes but a tampon? Maybe for a nose bleed.
There's so much knowledge in here that I'm going to have to listen about 6 more times.
THANK YOU for putting the shopping list in the description.
Man, Jay can really give me a head cramp! Impressive 360 on the topics covered. Thank you both!
Honest and detailed, 1000 thanks.
One of the best in the business right there, train with Jay if you can!
Jay puts out a lot of great content on his channel. John, i'm so happy you were able to collaborate on this video. Good stuff!!!
New pressure dressings out there that are off the charts, but in a real pickle it's a good go to. Keep accelerating to the goal. Don't worry, the time takes care of itself while you're in a situation. Train to keep your head while in a situation. That's all you can do..
I was just a regular 11C grunt. I am curious, why some individuals who served in Delta or the Unit never say Delta? Is it a disliked term? And from what I have researched older Special Forces soldiers do not like the term green beret. Am I died wrong?
Recently i read that the german military has removed chestseals from IFAKs for a few years now supposedly because the danger isn`t worth the effort. What`s your take on it? Especially when one isn`t trained with the needle.
I'm a paramedic for my city fire service. I think a tactical medical coarse would be a great tool for me to have in my skill set.
I teach the T3C Combat Life Saver course to Army Basic Trainees and all of the info we use (power point, speaker notes, etc.) can be found on a website and app called deployed medicine... It is literally what we teach from everyday...
Thanks WPS.
Thinking I have really messed up. So much I should have learned younger. Now I'm an old guy close to end of shelf life. But still want to help, do. But who really wants to spend time, energy to teach. I'm just not willing to give up. But I understand.
outstanding video. very informative. There are a lot of people talking about this stuff so ut was great to hear from an unquestionably experienced and knowledgeable source. Thank you.
glad to see quality information instead of "flashy" UA-cam content. Keep up the good work John all your videos are awesome
I literaly got a watchwpsn ad!
A soft t might shave off a few seconds when applied to a leg. I carry one of each. It has a hook, rather than having to open up the cat all the way and re thread it through the buckle under stress. Cat best for arms, soft T best for legs. Train on both. all good! Stay safe!
He's so right about the airway stuff. Also, there's no way to carry suction with you, so you're gonna be screwed either way.
ARS needles are good to go and work much better than other pnuemo kits, such as the cook..
I wonder if he's seen the raucsh chest seal? Has a much better valve, FWIW.
This guy knows his shit, there are so many people out there that don't.
"Also, there's no way to carry suction with you". Not really true, there are multiple options for manual suction. One of the most used right now is the TVAC Manual Suction Device. I carry this on deployment and use it prehospital as well.
I knew and didn’t realize, old school cls(2005) training is pretty out dated. Thanks for the video.
This was a great video, good info for many levels of experience.
This is one of the best videos yet!
I'm just a medical assistant and phlebotomist with first provider training. I feel more comfortable using a bungee cord, a belt, cravat, curved stat, straight stat even maxipads and coband
John, love the new quality of videos and production values!
Thank you for making this video sir. I've been building an IFAK kit (or so I thought) and was in desperate need of some guidance on what to buy and why.
This video is epic.
That’s a smart dude...
Would it be a good idea to put an IFAK in a cargo pocket? My stuff (aside from a small bubu kit) seems to be to big for that. Wont fit and/or uncomfortable. Especially the hyfin chest seal and sheers are to big for it and/or they tear the pocket up. The plastic on the gauze makes it also much bigger than one might think.
Also looking for a bigger case/pouch/tin which is resonable waterproof for a bigger bubu kit which will fit in a cargo pocket.
Keep up the good work.
Missed the first one, but M.A.R.C.H. is at 21:29
You know jay? Are you from Ga also? I was a 68w I’ve met jay before he’s a good dude.
I love and have actually used CAT and SOF tourniquets they are great! , and still, carry several in my Med bags But I carry RATS on my belt because its the only Tourniquet that will work on very small Adults or Children. And even on fur missiles should they take damage.
I literally don't know why I'm watching this. If I was ever in a situation where someone was bleeding profusely I'd probably have long been blacked out because of the sight of blood.
I know the cost adds up. But I look at it this way. How much does one spend practicing their shooting skills? Not just and hour at the range. But situation practice.
A great video. A lot to digest and great to hear from those who have used these items extensively.
A CAT-T is a part of my EDC. Left pocket 👍🏼🇺🇸
I’d like to thank all the commentary on Johns testicles....now I can’t unsee it
Thanks John for the in depth content. Looking forward to more full length vids. Keep it up bro!
Great video. Thanks for keeping it real.
14 GA 2 and a half inch. Several of those, obviously.
Great video good points , I work as a Paramedic. Some solid points in here
Awesome video! I work at a RTSMED and sent this to training section leadership!! Hope they'll look at it
Fantastic video, John! Gonna have to watch that one again, and get trained up!
I carry a blow out kit in my briefcase. I do not think it is too difficult to be prepared everywhere all the time.
Great video! Jay is incredibly knowledgeable
