Sir, I was wondering if you had considered as an addition to your Narc Kit a vial of 1:1000 Epi for profound Brady or hypotension 2⁰ to trauma or shock? Possibly 1:10,000 syringe or two?
Killing it again... Id actually like to see more 68W and 18D guys go over kit. EVERYONE does it differently so getting 5 of these vodeos would all yield different results. That would be badass 🤙🏻
I forget the video think it was one of the Adams(though different topic) said it best, as many breachers you have in a room you will have that many different ways of carrying things, as well as what they carry and where. Though throughout my journey it was always great when I personally got to speak with various medics no matter if tier 1 or grunt medic occasionally learn or pick something up. Though medicine have evolved I almost equate talking to an older medics, like talking to a Marine some didn't have the cool neat fancy stuff but they adapted & made it work, but flip side it neat to see the newer stuff. Where personally I have found it useful is when the fancy gadget breaks you potentially have a fall back or last resort option. Though I wasn't a medic in the military I will admit though we cross trained in general for me medicine was intriguing, I often worked with our Doc's and though memory is spotty as a former Leo Tac Medic though there is similarities there are differences. It's weird & funny after few head injuries what you remember & what you don't but the best advice Doc gave was something to the point of know and be the best basic 1st which even in street to back county EMS you need to have good BLS skills in order for the ALS to work.
Hell I'd probably have to. This guy carries fent and versed but no naloxone and flumazenil, ya know, like opiod OD reversal and benzo OD reversal drugs.. the basic stuff
@@liam9431 I did find it odd that he prioritized more advanced procedures and seemed to be forgoing things like basic airways for example. I know Andrew Fisher mentioned SF guys ditching what would be considered basic interventions and going to more advanced level stuff in the interest of saving time. I will fully admit this dude may be way ahead of us already... Idk 🤷🏼♂️
These Kit Shakedown videos are extremely informational and awesome. Seeing everyone's personal attitudes towards what they carry and why in such detail is not really shown anywhere to such extents from what I have seen thus far. Thank you for putting these educational videos out. I am also a fan of the rawness in these videos. Solid setup and looking forward to seeing more kits hopefully.
I'm an ex-62B and spent a lot of time at Fort Lewis which, as I'm sure most know, is where 1st SFG is out of. One of my attendings during training was their former surgeon (and ultimately went on to become the command surgeon at USSOCOM...he was THE definition of a beast) so we had a lot of fun opportunities to do medical training with them. these 18D guys are the real deal. putting in IVs in the back of bumpy helicopter at night with nods on kind of stuff. if you're ever in a dire situation due to trauma there's no one better to try and keep you alive.
A highly informative video about medical gear sets. Medical personnel are often overlooked, yet they play a crucial role in both military and civilian contexts.
I was a 68W in an infantry unit in OIF during the surge, and it is very interesting to see how some things have evolved, and some have stayed the same. I didn't have the z-fold combat gauze when I was in combat, just the kerlix gauze, and it's definitely easy to work with. I do wish it had had the chitosan in it though, as getting a large wound cavity dry enough to dump chitosan powder in and occlude the bleeding vessels is not the easiest thing and it uses up additional rolls of kerlix. Plus, if it's a windy day that chitosan can kick up and get in your eyes if you pour from a little too high. I did carry a lot more kerlix than this guy though, mostly because of how much gauze a deep wound cavity can eat. I also think it's pretty cool that SF guys are using the fentanyl lollipops still. We had those for when we ran out of morphine (we only carried five 10mg auto-injectors). I would tape the lollipop to my patient's index finger so that if he passed out or started crashing, his hand falling would pull the lolli out of his mouth. This is a great video, and it's hella cool to see one focused on battlefield medicine. I love a good gear rundown, but I've never seen one quite like this. Good stuff.
Just sharing some observations and some things to consider. - consider tying down your emma and sp02 while it is in the pouch at least. Imagine opening your pouch for something else and losing that valuable piece of kit. Your emma is the gold standard for confirming cric placement in the field. A technique I like to use is girth hitching the Nonin to the patagonia cargo pocket with "1.5 ft" of slack. It is an easy way to throw it on the patient and then it comes with you if you walk away from the patient to talk to your 18Z, JTAC etc. -All your IV kits should be self made, and set up exactly how you like them, water proof them, and keep a small constricting band in there. I know you like the boa, but what if it breaks or you lose it. -cric kit. (Cant see it that well.) Consider having a cric hook or bougie accessible. Set yourself up for success if you are in that situation. Also, whats your method of securing? IV tubing works well if you want to try it. -Eldon Card. If you are working with the same partner force consistently. Consder eldon carding everyone at the FOB, laminate it, and attach to their TCCC card. Then carry a master roster with you. -Consider having differing IO sizes and the patch for the sternum, looked like you just had the EZIO TALON needle. Can you technically hit 7 different sites with that thing, yes, will it be a little sketchy, yes. -consider carrying a peep valve with your BVM. -consider a spare set of Y tubing. -Why buddy lite cartridges and no buddy lite? Is it in the truck bag/litter bag? If you were carrying CSOWB, it would probably be important to carry that on you in case you are separated from the bag where it is located. -gloves, maybe make them more accessible if you're worried about working on LN or PF vs in your bag. -if you're worried about not losing your narcs. Consider tying them down. Also strip the foam out of this cigar caddy and throw in some velcro and it makes an awesome narcs box. It will fit in a double M4 mag pouch or the crye mbtr radio pouch. www.amazon.com/Cigar-Caddy-Waterproof-Travel-Humidor/dp/B0007VU67O -Show stopper box, a small pill caddy that you carry some basic sick call meds. If you're sneaking up to a target and your 18Z is sneezing from allergies, might not be a bad thing to have. www.amazon.com/Drchoer-Waterproof-Portable-Containers-Compartments/dp/B07QWH7VC9/ref=sr_1_9?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Wr8eqKduXYIN2fXz5NHIWwDa5p29r859eSzr46_KkiRQGDiUkxirWFZfql-jDRSguWDux6YnFhIpFQRuwB-1NsxZSNwf-5e7nHtWt_-rbRGNnWLiM-kt5HR_JD75WXOmWBmnRhpAA-itupWOOBh3ZK6nU5ojkGW_AtAvBb2SB_zqjvBgW_6GtZvb0DQekeJxu9SGIiIgmIBW0ttLoxhRcUmN0bWbT_R-Y1KEjWYvibpm7r5muhgYA8RI-t5tB6G0iiBVToxKsYkpMfBMsDthNxvVsQAQKphIWiS6BXEPyXE.y3tRulBvRgNleDbgrUY6CSCRsGjfTYQdpP8hPwJS5I4&dib_tag=se&keywords=pocket%2Bfly%2Bfishing%2Bbox&qid=1718499737&sr=8-9&th=1 If you got this far, thanks for reading. I hope you found this helpful.
Yeah, not to be a complete d*ckhead but theres a lot of crucial things he is missing and I'm just a 68w. I've heard a lot of deltas don't practice medicine a ton once theyre with their units, since they have so much infantry sh to do? Love the cigar box idea. Do you really need a bougie for a cric? I've heard a surgeon tell me you won't lose the hole if you take your scalpel both directions and you can use the scalpel with the blade retracted as a back board. Only thing that sucks with the pill caddy is when you run you sound like a maraca (it might just be the voices and reverberations in my skull). I taped some 2x2s to the inner walls of my pill cases but it's pretty ghetto. I get the impression (or at least hope since I've idolized 18ds) this is just a training setup that wasn't well thought out, or spiritus was like, "do a kit shakedown but you can only use our bag and pouches", so he just said screw it.
@@floridaman8136 Yes, 18D’s don’t get to train/practice their own medical skills nearly as often as they should. You should always have a bougie with you. At a minimum, it’s the only ‘guaranteed’ way to swap tubes if yours clogs, the bulb pops, etc… Use cotton balls in your pill caddy instead of taped 2x2s. Works for me, even after you use some of the pills. If you’re really into this stuff, you should think about going to SOCM. Any 68W E6 or below can go. You can apply from any unit- you don’t have to be in a SOF unit first.
I find these shakedown videos to be very informative and helpful, especially because I'm not activr dury anymore and haven't deployed innan active role since 2011. It helps me as a civilian figure out what may be more less useful and where to put things I might need for the area I'm in
I had 6 months Medic Training at Madigan Army Hospital at Ft Lewis, really interesting and important job. My regular MOS was 16R2, Vulcan Gunner, but we own the Skies so an Air Deffence Weapon isnt used that often. I Also worked in Nursing Education i typed up the Nursing Medic Tests. From Grunt to Healer,
Its awesome to see the kit knowledge passed down like this. When I was in I was also taught to work from pouches first, and work from the pack second if possible. Makes a massive difference in your ability to provide rapid and effective care. Taught all my soldiers this once I made Sergeant as well. Foundational information.
@@gio2 expectations are low so crush em. Be fit (not avg infantryman fit, actually fit, at least near max your acft). Sham your morning pt, unless someone is looking, then be 1st at everything. Get on a program with plyometrics, powerlifting, and hypertrophy work. Alec enkiri has a good one. Be an expert at doing your job under stress. Ask to do a real trauma lane at least 1x per month. When doing nothing, walk through a trauma lane in your head or study a ranger medic handbook, deployed med... fight to go to the MSTC and get certs. Know what's right and wrong and be confident about it. Talk to people with respect and always seek knowledge (watch what you say around those that hide bhind rank). If you can go to the line, work hard to do so. Know your shit and if someone is messing with you mess with them back. If you're in a hospital, learn as much as you can and do something in civ med after. Youll have a leg up. Realize your hard work is respected but not appreciated and go to bat or sf, or get out and do something actually meaningful. Expect a lot of layouts and BS. Everything/everyone is transient, so have a good attitude and stay out of trouble.
ODA medics are some of the best medics in the world. Not only that but the Q-course for the medics is quite difficult. Elite fighters and doctors. Much respect for them.
Excellent stuff. Waaayyyy beyond my skill set and wheelhouse, but it’s great to see how thoughtful the pro’s are at laying out their stuff. Great production, too.👍🏽
Tbh shoutout field med, combat trauma management and all my hm3’s to chiefs that trained me along the way. It’s been almost ten years and I am still tracking about 95% of this. Had to look up rolo and finger thor but even those I can still grasp and learn/ teach myself if the need arises. I will be tweaking my kit as a civdiv war dog, thanks for sharing. With love, Grunt corpsman
Solid setup right here! It’s nice having items that can do multiple things. It’s hard carrying suctions on small setups like this, which doesn’t seem like he has. I found that you can use a 50cc syringe and jam an npa on the end and it works. At least until you can get to your pcc kit, or role 2. Syringe also doubles as irrigation, small splint, and obviously npa is a npa. Rather try that first than going straight to a cric.
@@arttrumbo9496 I mainly agree with that, but comes down to what you can carry, what you’re doing, and what’s more of threat to kill a patient. An actual “compact suction” is huge when you try and load it in a pack like that. We were constantly changing our kits up depending on what was going on. Environment dictates a lot of that. Can’t carry everything.
@@bubba5497 suction is a must have. Squid suction devices aren't that difficult to carry. Figure out what you need to carry and then pick out the pouches and bags that allow you to carry it. If the delta bag is too small, pick a bigger bag. Your buddies life is more important than a cool bag and subpar care.
@@andrews2990 having tried it before, it’s not garbage. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, but it’s better than not having suction at all, like this guy. If I’m having to pull more than 50cc’s of fluid and debris out of a mouth, more than likely the crics coming out anyways. I’d rather use the space for something id be more likely to use. I had dedicated suctions in certain bag, or in a mobility platform with pcc gear.
FINALLY! THANK U. EDIT: I feel like he skipped a lot of considerations soldiers/medics would be curious about. What about CCP/signaling? Nods? Water? Is he just rocking 4 mags? What about grenades? Where is the buddy lite? Where is the rest of the SJT? No suction? I think whats cool about the medic is the creativity aspect, so it would've been cool to see some more in depth explanation and reasoning. Nevertheless, thanks for the shake down.
@@jeffhart4361 I've typically strapped my m9 bag on top of my ruck and it's fine. Pretty sure these guys are CRF or CIF whatever it's called now, which is primarily a dedicated direct action force for the sf group.
@@jeffhart4361 I used to put it inside the main bag, but a couple years ago I bought a civilian hunting pack from Kifaru with a meat hauling shelf between the frame and the pack. Now the aid bag goes in the meat shelf.
Def some integral items missing, from the video at least. Im running a platypus water kit with some treatment tabs, a NAR quick litter in the back panel of my plate carrier, a NAR mechanical suction, and a SAM junctional tq. For woodland ops im also suspending a foxtrot litter from my M9 bag.
Been waiting on this! It’s always interesting to see how different medics set their gear up. I’ve noticed that conventional side (me and others) don’t really work off the body. Good info!
Awesome to see SF medics running set ups very similar to my own. Now im considering wether or not im over equipped because im carrying substantially more specialty tools. Mechanical suction, NAR quick litter, foxtrot litter (situation dependent), platypus water system, burn kit, intubation tube kit, Igel, ropes bailout kit, junctional TQ.
Situation dependent. A squid suction is a critical piece of kit. A poleless litter is never a bad idea. Burn dressings could be swapped for additional rolls of kerlix. Intubation or Igel is kind of useless. If you place an Igel with out the use of drugs, the patient is either really pissed or isnt gonna make it. Intubation in the field isnt ideal either without the appropriate drugs and you will lose an additional person bagging the patient. Ropes is probably not bad if you are in an urban or mountainous terrain. Junctional TQ is pretty standard too. The sam junctional tq also doubles as a pelvic binder.
Supraglottic airways (iGel, King LT, etc.) are no longer recommended in TCCC guidelines and therefore as a combat medic there are next to zero scenarios in which you should be carrying them in your bag.
@@friedrichmnning5471 how about an improvised suction (NPA and 60cc syringe)? Takes up way less space and if pt has a lot of secretions theyll get cricd anyways, unless that's not your experience.
As a civilian, I would love to see a Spiritus video on what everyday people could/should carry in regards to trauma care. Everyone knows the standard "Boo Boo" kits but beyond that I would love to be educated on the topic. Half the stuff he pulled out I have no idea what it even is or how it would even be used.
There is a reason nobody puts that kind of information out. It's because this is very technical stuff and a lot of it can be dangerous in untrained hands. If you really want to know more, go to a training course with a certified TCCC instructor, or go get your EMT license.
The other guy that replied to you hit the nail on the head. If you can’t afford those course or don’t have the time. Take a stop the bleed course. It’s not “tactical” but not everything in medicine needs to be. It’s basic shit. It’s the basics of putting tourniquets and packing wounds. Deployed medicine combat life saver course online is also a good tool, lots of videos on their website.
@@bubba5497You beat me to it was legit going to mention the same like I personally know if your in the Northeastern part of the country Sig Sauer usually runs or has Stop the Bleed courses as well as other organizations do. This is no disrespect or directed towards anyone or organization I would just do some getting or background when taking a course as anyone can show a PowerPoint & show you the skills but its good to have those with TCCC/Paramedic/EMS backgrounds more so either high tempo or on civilian side they have worked in a busy system(unless they are burnt out). Speaking on the civilian side and not knocking those that work in rual areas or lower call volume as some can see things you won't find in the city or there isn't a trauma center within 10-15mins. Though I am currently medically retired and though I stop teaching right before the coof I often found it great some high schools in order to graduate you had to complete AHA BLS & CPR which honestly I think most people should know and trained in CPR and basic first aid, like you don't need to be a NREMT, a BLS first aid course like stop the bleed is important Lastly like going to the range or any other training, you need to practice those skills. Also if you buy a premade like IFAK or Trauma/1st aid kit only use what you are trained on using & if it has something else your not trained with it's ok to keep them in the kit bc someone might show up have the skill set it not have anything with them. I had an issue with an instructor somewhere who would ask to look at peoples kits and he would take their 12-14g angio's & be like your not trained with it you shouldn't have it, worse part is that person didn't know peoples backgrounds though I do wonder after the conversation we had (which I did invite him to the tree line ) if they have changed or bc they no longer work for that organization they are somewhere else playing paraGod (no matter the skill set your learning there are some people with a wealth of knowledge but they are humble professionals and than you have ones that think they are gods gift to the world)
Buy yourself an emt or paramedic prep workbook depending on your current understanding of anatomy and medicine and/or take a deployed med account and go through CLS then combat medic/corpsman, then provider. Look up videos of people doing TCCC lanes/ combat casualty assessments/ trauma lanes. You could also buy a ranger medic handbook. Ultimately nothing can replace being with someone in person who is certified, but those are your best options for self teaching. Regular army CLS are 9/10 dogshit but theyll still save lives if they can put on a tq, roll someone on their side and call 911. Edit: Regular army medics do emt (just a book and hands on skills that somewhat crossover) and then do 2 months of actually combat medic training. The good ones just train each other and read a lot. Before deployment they might do BCT3 and/or a cadaver lab. You could probably learn most of the basic stuff on your own. Yes, do a stop the bleed course or maybe one of those courses with the sere guy from dirty civilian. Just never do anything youre not 100% certain on, and dont do anything to a non family member. Save your ghetto med skills for the apocalypse. Not medical advice don't do anything unless certified I'm not liable for anything you do.
@@floridaman8136 please do not self-teach yourself medicine. Read if you are curious, but please never try a medical procedure you haven't been trained on by a professional. You can seriously hurt someone and also get in legal trouble.
Excellent video. A good read is about Baron Dominique Jean Larey - the father of battle field triage. The primary medic, his second and several hajis should be ample for initial casualty care.
Bad ass. These are great videos. I ask as a professional in the field, why only two tourniquets? Obviously all operators are carrying tourniquets on person, but would have thought to see more on the 18D. Not a critique, only a question. Thanks 🇺🇲🤙
18E is one that I'd like to see. My BIL is now retiring, but he doesn't think this information should be available to everyone and has no intentions of showing that hes just a dude who works out alot and learned this and isn't blessed with inhuman abilities. Bothered him that he struggled to out pace me when I asked to run with him. Really appreciate the less fragile sort that are willing to talk about it. Dude thinks sof that train civilians in our own country are breaching opsec. So, for all the dirty civilians here, there are at least some that do not want you to know this stuff, so that tells you how good this information is.
It’s been a minute since I took TCCC, but at the time they really de-emphasized ETI in favor of NPAs or crics. My guess is he’s packing the ETT as either a backup for the cric kit or to do a digital intubation in a pinch. But he’s also an 18D, he probably just has to look at the tube and it’ll pass itself through the cords 😜
@@benjamindowdy8168 hes an 18d in peacetime bro, probably never put his hands on a real patient. the et will be for chest drain, suction catheter, trach airway, can cut it down to an npa, or nasotrach intubation/digital (but probably not).
@@Blastoplastify 18d pipeline includes them working at hospitals.. so yes.. very likely they have had hands on a real patient. dont forget, 18D, even on peacetime deployments might be to an area that is a warzone or adjacent to one. on top of that, they still need to train to fight like every other '18'. jump out of airplanes.. still get to go for schools like sniper..etc..

2. Vial of Midazolam(Versed): Sedative
3. Vial of Lidocane(Xylocaine): Antiarrhythmic and Anesthetic(stitching)
4. Vial of Ketamine: dissociative anesthetic

Killing it again... Id actually like to see more 68W and 18D guys go over kit. EVERYONE does it differently so getting 5 of these vodeos would all yield different results. That would be badass 🤙🏻
I forget the video think it was one of the Adams(though different topic) said it best, as many breachers you have in a room you will have that many different ways of carrying things, as well as what they carry and where. Though throughout my journey it was always great when I personally got to speak with various medics no matter if tier 1 or grunt medic occasionally learn or pick something up. Though medicine have evolved I almost equate talking to an older medics, like talking to a Marine some didn't have the cool neat fancy stuff but they adapted & made it work, but flip side it neat to see the newer stuff. Where personally I have found it useful is when the fancy gadget breaks you potentially have a fall back or last resort option.
Though I wasn't a medic in the military I will admit though we cross trained in general for me medicine was intriguing, I often worked with our Doc's and though memory is spotty as a former Leo Tac Medic though there is similarities there are differences. It's weird & funny after few head injuries what you remember & what you don't but the best advice Doc gave was something to the point of know and be the best basic 1st which even in street to back county EMS you need to have good BLS skills in order for the ALS to work.
Hell I'd probably have to. This guy carries fent and versed but no naloxone and flumazenil, ya know, like opiod OD reversal and benzo OD reversal drugs.. the basic stuff
@@liam9431 I did find it odd that he prioritized more advanced procedures and seemed to be forgoing things like basic airways for example.
I know Andrew Fisher mentioned SF guys ditching what would be considered basic interventions and going to more advanced level stuff in the interest of saving time. I will fully admit this dude may be way ahead of us already... Idk 🤷🏼♂️
@liam9431 no hypertonic either. Head injuries are extremely prevalent in that line of work
@AustinStover Cric is the go-to according to current guidelines
I’ve seen dozens of med kit breakdowns and this one has to be one of the best actual life saving kits I’ve seen.
18D’s are the real deal…Thank you all for you do…Salute…18C (Ret)
These Kit Shakedown videos are extremely informational and awesome. Seeing everyone's personal attitudes towards what they carry and why in such detail is not really shown anywhere to such extents from what I have seen thus far. Thank you for putting these educational videos out. I am also a fan of the rawness in these videos. Solid setup and looking forward to seeing more kits hopefully.
As a civilian, i find enjoyment pure enjoyment of learning what our soldiers bring on a daily ❤
I'm an ex-62B and spent a lot of time at Fort Lewis which, as I'm sure most know, is where 1st SFG is out of. One of my attendings during training was their former surgeon (and ultimately went on to become the command surgeon at USSOCOM...he was THE definition of a beast) so we had a lot of fun opportunities to do medical training with them. these 18D guys are the real deal. putting in IVs in the back of bumpy helicopter at night with nods on kind of stuff. if you're ever in a dire situation due to trauma there's no one better to try and keep you alive.
A highly informative video about medical gear sets. Medical personnel are often overlooked, yet they play a crucial role in both military and civilian contexts.
Excellent to see a serving SF dude's gear. Thank you for your service.
Great breakdown. The pack held a lot more than I expected. Nicely designed.
Nate
Kerlix & Ace Wraps, tried and true. We've come a long away from the M5 Bag. This 'Ole "Doc" approves! Great video. Thank you.
I was a 68W in an infantry unit in OIF during the surge, and it is very interesting to see how some things have evolved, and some have stayed the same.
I didn't have the z-fold combat gauze when I was in combat, just the kerlix gauze, and it's definitely easy to work with. I do wish it had had the chitosan in it though, as getting a large wound cavity dry enough to dump chitosan powder in and occlude the bleeding vessels is not the easiest thing and it uses up additional rolls of kerlix. Plus, if it's a windy day that chitosan can kick up and get in your eyes if you pour from a little too high. I did carry a lot more kerlix than this guy though, mostly because of how much gauze a deep wound cavity can eat.
I also think it's pretty cool that SF guys are using the fentanyl lollipops still. We had those for when we ran out of morphine (we only carried five 10mg auto-injectors). I would tape the lollipop to my patient's index finger so that if he passed out or started crashing, his hand falling would pull the lolli out of his mouth.
This is a great video, and it's hella cool to see one focused on battlefield medicine. I love a good gear rundown, but I've never seen one quite like this. Good stuff.
Just sharing some observations and some things to consider.
- consider tying down your emma and sp02 while it is in the pouch at least. Imagine opening your pouch for something else and losing that valuable piece of kit. Your emma is the gold standard for confirming cric placement in the field. A technique I like to use is girth hitching the Nonin to the patagonia cargo pocket with "1.5 ft" of slack. It is an easy way to throw it on the patient and then it comes with you if you walk away from the patient to talk to your 18Z, JTAC etc.
-All your IV kits should be self made, and set up exactly how you like them, water proof them, and keep a small constricting band in there. I know you like the boa, but what if it breaks or you lose it.
-cric kit. (Cant see it that well.) Consider having a cric hook or bougie accessible. Set yourself up for success if you are in that situation. Also, whats your method of securing? IV tubing works well if you want to try it.
-Eldon Card. If you are working with the same partner force consistently. Consder eldon carding everyone at the FOB, laminate it, and attach to their TCCC card. Then carry a master roster with you.
-Consider having differing IO sizes and the patch for the sternum, looked like you just had the EZIO TALON needle. Can you technically hit 7 different sites with that thing, yes, will it be a little sketchy, yes.
-consider carrying a peep valve with your BVM.
-consider a spare set of Y tubing.
-Why buddy lite cartridges and no buddy lite? Is it in the truck bag/litter bag? If you were carrying CSOWB, it would probably be important to carry that on you in case you are separated from the bag where it is located.
-gloves, maybe make them more accessible if you're worried about working on LN or PF vs in your bag.
-if you're worried about not losing your narcs. Consider tying them down. Also strip the foam out of this cigar caddy and throw in some velcro and it makes an awesome narcs box. It will fit in a double M4 mag pouch or the crye mbtr radio pouch. www.amazon.com/Cigar-Caddy-Waterproof-Travel-Humidor/dp/B0007VU67O
-Show stopper box, a small pill caddy that you carry some basic sick call meds. If you're sneaking up to a target and your 18Z is sneezing from allergies, might not be a bad thing to have. www.amazon.com/Drchoer-Waterproof-Portable-Containers-Compartments/dp/B07QWH7VC9/ref=sr_1_9?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Wr8eqKduXYIN2fXz5NHIWwDa5p29r859eSzr46_KkiRQGDiUkxirWFZfql-jDRSguWDux6YnFhIpFQRuwB-1NsxZSNwf-5e7nHtWt_-rbRGNnWLiM-kt5HR_JD75WXOmWBmnRhpAA-itupWOOBh3ZK6nU5ojkGW_AtAvBb2SB_zqjvBgW_6GtZvb0DQekeJxu9SGIiIgmIBW0ttLoxhRcUmN0bWbT_R-Y1KEjWYvibpm7r5muhgYA8RI-t5tB6G0iiBVToxKsYkpMfBMsDthNxvVsQAQKphIWiS6BXEPyXE.y3tRulBvRgNleDbgrUY6CSCRsGjfTYQdpP8hPwJS5I4&dib_tag=se&keywords=pocket%2Bfly%2Bfishing%2Bbox&qid=1718499737&sr=8-9&th=1
If you got this far, thanks for reading. I hope you found this helpful.
This guy paid attention at SOCMSSC^^
@@andrews2990 whats that? Is that the course on Camp Bullis for 68Ws?
Damm you're definitely solid
Yeah, not to be a complete d*ckhead but theres a lot of crucial things he is missing and I'm just a 68w. I've heard a lot of deltas don't practice medicine a ton once theyre with their units, since they have so much infantry sh to do?
Love the cigar box idea.
Do you really need a bougie for a cric? I've heard a surgeon tell me you won't lose the hole if you take your scalpel both directions and you can use the scalpel with the blade retracted as a back board.
Only thing that sucks with the pill caddy is when you run you sound like a maraca (it might just be the voices and reverberations in my skull). I taped some 2x2s to the inner walls of my pill cases but it's pretty ghetto.
I get the impression (or at least hope since I've idolized 18ds) this is just a training setup that wasn't well thought out, or spiritus was like, "do a kit shakedown but you can only use our bag and pouches", so he just said screw it.
@@floridaman8136 Yes, 18D’s don’t get to train/practice their own medical skills nearly as often as they should.
You should always have a bougie with you. At a minimum, it’s the only ‘guaranteed’ way to swap tubes if yours clogs, the bulb pops, etc…
Use cotton balls in your pill caddy instead of taped 2x2s. Works for me, even after you use some of the pills.
If you’re really into this stuff, you should think about going to SOCM. Any 68W E6 or below can go. You can apply from any unit- you don’t have to be in a SOF unit first.
Dudes a walking trauma center. Need and want him on my team. Fantastic!
Solid video, really cool to see what these guys carry.
Interesting such equipment 👌👍Delta are one of the Alpha people that the world cannot do without 👌💪🥇 Greetings from the Netherlands 🧡🧡
I find these shakedown videos to be very informative and helpful, especially because I'm not activr dury anymore and haven't deployed innan active role since 2011. It helps me as a civilian figure out what may be more less useful and where to put things I might need for the area I'm in
I had 6 months Medic Training at Madigan Army Hospital at Ft Lewis, really interesting and important job.
My regular MOS was 16R2, Vulcan Gunner, but we own the Skies so an Air Deffence Weapon isnt used
that often. I Also worked in Nursing Education i typed up the Nursing Medic Tests. From Grunt to Healer,
Its awesome to see the kit knowledge passed down like this. When I was in I was also taught to work from pouches first, and work from the pack second if possible. Makes a massive difference in your ability to provide rapid and effective care. Taught all my soldiers this once I made Sergeant as well. Foundational information.
I'm about to get to my first unit, any advice? im a 68w
@@gio2 expectations are low so crush em.
Be fit (not avg infantryman fit, actually fit, at least near max your acft). Sham your morning pt, unless someone is looking, then be 1st at everything. Get on a program with plyometrics, powerlifting, and hypertrophy work. Alec enkiri has a good one.
Be an expert at doing your job under stress. Ask to do a real trauma lane at least 1x per month. When doing nothing, walk through a trauma lane in your head or study a ranger medic handbook, deployed med... fight to go to the MSTC and get certs.
Know what's right and wrong and be confident about it. Talk to people with respect and always seek knowledge (watch what you say around those that hide bhind rank).
If you can go to the line, work hard to do so. Know your shit and if someone is messing with you mess with them back.
If you're in a hospital, learn as much as you can and do something in civ med after. Youll have a leg up.
Realize your hard work is respected but not appreciated and go to bat or sf, or get out and do something actually meaningful.
Expect a lot of layouts and BS. Everything/everyone is transient, so have a good attitude and stay out of trouble.
Unconditional love and support for American and Israel Army
I encourage young man who wants to go that route. This is a truly epic long journey, but it is the best rewarding journey I would do again.
ODA medics are some of the best medics in the world. Not only that but the Q-course for the medics is quite difficult.
Elite fighters and doctors. Much respect for them.
Excellent stuff. Waaayyyy beyond my skill set and wheelhouse, but it’s great to see how thoughtful the pro’s are at laying out their stuff. Great production, too.👍🏽
What are you telling me you don't do any trichs, chest tubes or rolo's on your buddies? Tzzz tzzzz.... 😅
I could watch these videos all day
I've never thought about leaving a medical trace in the place of operation. Nice tidbit, thank you guys.
Been waiting for this!! S/o to Spiritus for the awesome contents always.
When the doc gives you the lollipop, you've had a bad day. Awesome kit breakdown. I appreciate the to-the-point vid no frills. Keep it up.
Even worse day when it's just a dum dums. lol
Tbh shoutout field med, combat trauma management and all my hm3’s to chiefs that trained me along the way. It’s been almost ten years and I am still tracking about 95% of this. Had to look up rolo and finger thor but even those I can still grasp and learn/ teach myself if the need arises. I will be tweaking my kit as a civdiv war dog, thanks for sharing.
With love,

Awesome to see this. Thanks for not making this a drawn out 45 min video.
Love these kit shakedowns, keep em coming!
Thank you for making these videos. I learn so much from each one.
That's a lot of stuff to be proficient at. 18Ds are badass
The one guy everyone wants on their team 🇺🇸
Solid setup right here! It’s nice having items that can do multiple things. It’s hard carrying suctions on small setups like this, which doesn’t seem like he has. I found that you can use a 50cc syringe and jam an npa on the end and it works. At least until you can get to your pcc kit, or role 2. Syringe also doubles as irrigation, small splint, and obviously npa is a npa. Rather try that first than going straight to a cric.
In my opinion, there is no excuse for having an advanced airway in your kit without a good suction strategy.
@@arttrumbo9496 I mainly agree with that, but comes down to what you can carry, what you’re doing, and what’s more of threat to kill a patient. An actual “compact suction” is huge when you try and load it in a pack like that. We were constantly changing our kits up depending on what was going on. Environment dictates a lot of that. Can’t carry everything.
@@bubba5497 suction is a must have. Squid suction devices aren't that difficult to carry. Figure out what you need to carry and then pick out the pouches and bags that allow you to carry it. If the delta bag is too small, pick a bigger bag. Your buddies life is more important than a cool bag and subpar care.
The syringe suction strategy is absolute garbage. Be a competent medic and carry a squid. Your buddy’s life is worth it.
@@andrews2990 having tried it before, it’s not garbage. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, but it’s better than not having suction at all, like this guy. If I’m having to pull more than 50cc’s of fluid and debris out of a mouth, more than likely the crics coming out anyways. I’d rather use the space for something id be more likely to use. I had dedicated suctions in certain bag, or in a mobility platform with pcc gear.
Always amazing breakdown videos!
I set up fairly similarly. Gonna have to add some of those BOA to my starter kit to try them out.
I assure you the blood box will not fit back there. This bag is very modular but not blood box friendly.
FINALLY! THANK U.
EDIT: I feel like he skipped a lot of considerations soldiers/medics would be curious about. What about CCP/signaling? Nods? Water? Is he just rocking 4 mags? What about grenades? Where is the buddy lite? Where is the rest of the SJT? No suction? I think whats cool about the medic is the creativity aspect, so it would've been cool to see some more in depth explanation and reasoning. Nevertheless, thanks for the shake down.
Hit just about every point I had.
Also curious, when carrying a ruck, where does the delta bag go? Inside, lashed to the outside?
@@jeffhart4361 I've typically strapped my m9 bag on top of my ruck and it's fine. Pretty sure these guys are CRF or CIF whatever it's called now, which is primarily a dedicated direct action force for the sf group.
@@jeffhart4361 I used to put it inside the main bag, but a couple years ago I bought a civilian hunting pack from Kifaru with a meat hauling shelf between the frame and the pack. Now the aid bag goes in the meat shelf.
Def some integral items missing, from the video at least. Im running a platypus water kit with some treatment tabs, a NAR quick litter in the back panel of my plate carrier, a NAR mechanical suction, and a SAM junctional tq. For woodland ops im also suspending a foxtrot litter from my M9 bag.
@@Chief-ek1vl they're not, they're guard SF.
Been waiting on this! It’s always interesting to see how different medics set their gear up. I’ve noticed that conventional side (me and others) don’t really work off the body. Good info!
Fuck yeah, asked about this after y'all put out the commo kit vid. Former Doc, always looking for tips and tricks from guys still in, appreciate it!
Awesome to see SF medics running set ups very similar to my own. Now im considering wether or not im over equipped because im carrying substantially more specialty tools. Mechanical suction, NAR quick litter, foxtrot litter (situation dependent), platypus water system, burn kit, intubation tube kit, Igel, ropes bailout kit, junctional TQ.
Situation dependent. A squid suction is a critical piece of kit. A poleless litter is never a bad idea. Burn dressings could be swapped for additional rolls of kerlix. Intubation or Igel is kind of useless. If you place an Igel with out the use of drugs, the patient is either really pissed or isnt gonna make it. Intubation in the field isnt ideal either without the appropriate drugs and you will lose an additional person bagging the patient. Ropes is probably not bad if you are in an urban or mountainous terrain. Junctional TQ is pretty standard too. The sam junctional tq also doubles as a pelvic binder.
Supraglottic airways (iGel, King LT, etc.) are no longer recommended in TCCC guidelines and therefore as a combat medic there are next to zero scenarios in which you should be carrying them in your bag.
@@friedrichmnning5471 how about an improvised suction (NPA and 60cc syringe)? Takes up way less space and if pt has a lot of secretions theyll get cricd anyways, unless that's not your experience.
Good to see we are not leaving sharps and trash on the X.
Been waiting for this .
This was sick!!! Thank you
Thanks guys really enjoyed this with my pasta🤙🏻
Awesome video and great explanation of kit set up. Well done.
As a civilian, I would love to see a Spiritus video on what everyday people could/should carry in regards to trauma care. Everyone knows the standard "Boo Boo" kits but beyond that I would love to be educated on the topic. Half the stuff he pulled out I have no idea what it even is or how it would even be used.
There is a reason nobody puts that kind of information out. It's because this is very technical stuff and a lot of it can be dangerous in untrained hands. If you really want to know more, go to a training course with a certified TCCC instructor, or go get your EMT license.
The other guy that replied to you hit the nail on the head. If you can’t afford those course or don’t have the time. Take a stop the bleed course. It’s not “tactical” but not everything in medicine needs to be. It’s basic shit. It’s the basics of putting tourniquets and packing wounds. Deployed medicine combat life saver course online is also a good tool, lots of videos on their website.
@@bubba5497You beat me to it was legit going to mention the same like I personally know if your in the Northeastern part of the country Sig Sauer usually runs or has Stop the Bleed courses as well as other organizations do.
This is no disrespect or directed towards anyone or organization I would just do some getting or background when taking a course as anyone can show a PowerPoint & show you the skills but its good to have those with TCCC/Paramedic/EMS backgrounds more so either high tempo or on civilian side they have worked in a busy system(unless they are burnt out). Speaking on the civilian side and not knocking those that work in rual areas or lower call volume as some can see things you won't find in the city or there isn't a trauma center within 10-15mins.
Though I am currently medically retired and though I stop teaching right before the coof I often found it great some high schools in order to graduate you had to complete AHA BLS & CPR which honestly I think most people should know and trained in CPR and basic first aid, like you don't need to be a NREMT, a BLS first aid course like stop the bleed is important
Lastly like going to the range or any other training, you need to practice those skills. Also if you buy a premade like IFAK or Trauma/1st aid kit only use what you are trained on using & if it has something else your not trained with it's ok to keep them in the kit bc someone might show up have the skill set it not have anything with them. I had an issue with an instructor somewhere who would ask to look at peoples kits and he would take their 12-14g angio's & be like your not trained with it you shouldn't have it, worse part is that person didn't know peoples backgrounds though I do wonder after the conversation we had (which I did invite him to the tree line ) if they have changed or bc they no longer work for that organization they are somewhere else playing paraGod (no matter the skill set your learning there are some people with a wealth of knowledge but they are humble professionals and than you have ones that think they are gods gift to the world)
Buy yourself an emt or paramedic prep workbook depending on your current understanding of anatomy and medicine and/or take a deployed med account and go through CLS then combat medic/corpsman, then provider. Look up videos of people doing TCCC lanes/ combat casualty assessments/ trauma lanes. You could also buy a ranger medic handbook. Ultimately nothing can replace being with someone in person who is certified, but those are your best options for self teaching. Regular army CLS are 9/10 dogshit but theyll still save lives if they can put on a tq, roll someone on their side and call 911.
Edit: Regular army medics do emt (just a book and hands on skills that somewhat crossover) and then do 2 months of actually combat medic training. The good ones just train each other and read a lot. Before deployment they might do BCT3 and/or a cadaver lab. You could probably learn most of the basic stuff on your own. Yes, do a stop the bleed course or maybe one of those courses with the sere guy from dirty civilian. Just never do anything youre not 100% certain on, and dont do anything to a non family member. Save your ghetto med skills for the apocalypse. Not medical advice don't do anything unless certified I'm not liable for anything you do.
@@floridaman8136 please do not self-teach yourself medicine. Read if you are curious, but please never try a medical procedure you haven't been trained on by a professional. You can seriously hurt someone and also get in legal trouble.

18E is one that I'd like to see. My BIL is now retiring, but he doesn't think this information should be available to everyone and has no intentions of showing that hes just a dude who works out alot and learned this and isn't blessed with inhuman abilities. Bothered him that he struggled to out pace me when I asked to run with him. Really appreciate the less fragile sort that are willing to talk about it. Dude thinks sof that train civilians in our own country are breaching opsec.

Hello everybody.
Does anyone knows where i can get this Bag? Or a similar one?
And Nice Video btw!
Great video. But did I just miss it or does he not have a laryngoscope for intubation? I saw the ETT.
Deltas typically don’t intubate outside of an OR.
It’s been a minute since I took TCCC, but at the time they really de-emphasized ETI in favor of NPAs or crics. My guess is he’s packing the ETT as either a backup for the cric kit or to do a digital intubation in a pinch.
But he’s also an 18D, he probably just has to look at the tube and it’ll pass itself through the cords 😜
@@benjamindowdy8168 hes an 18d in peacetime bro, probably never put his hands on a real patient. the et will be for chest drain, suction catheter, trach airway, can cut it down to an npa, or nasotrach intubation/digital (but probably not).
@@Blastoplastify 18d pipeline includes them working at hospitals.. so yes.. very likely they have had hands on a real patient. dont forget, 18D, even on peacetime deployments might be to an area that is a warzone or adjacent to one. on top of that, they still need to train to fight like every other '18'. jump out of airplanes.. still get to go for schools like sniper..etc..
