My left cargo pocket is 100% dedicated to medical, and has been for years. I sew individual dividers into it for each of the items so they lay flat and don't bang around in the bottom of the pocket. It's also a good idea to carry an epi-pen and a few Benadryl if you have severe allergies like me. I prefer the Adrenaclick style since they're smaller than the others and also come with a water-resistant case.
I carry my medical in a Ryker Nylon Gear AFAK. An awesome design that was based off of the premise of always having chest seals on you. The chest seal pouch is on the inside and horizontal.
@@JohnHolliday1911 yep! I’ve been into guns, knives and tools my whole adult life. Not so much medical until the last couple of years or so. The Ryker ankle kit is by far my favorite piece of gear. Funny how priorities change as we age.
@@I_Am_Not_That_Guy Very true! Trying to get the word out on having medical gear on you, this channel has a ton of reach, hopefully folks pay attention.
I have the NAR ankle kit but didn’t use it much because of its bulkiness but then got the Dark Angel ankle kit (with slim folded SOF-T) from your prior recommendation (plus added a pair of trauma shears) and LOVE IT!!! Also got the LTC wallet-type one (also from your prior rec), but it’s a bit bulkier than I prefer in my cargo shorts (usually just carry a CAT using the military fold method with red tab peeking out up top (that I’m also pretty sure I saw here too 😉). Keep up the great recommendations!
As French civilian, I undestand his choices of design for not including enough space for a chest seal. Chest trauma is really really rare on m'y country, and as first aid responder for work (SST) we don't even formed to act with that type of injures.
I live in Brazil and here we are lack of good quality medical kits for EDC...i try to make my own pouchs but sometimes i failled...make a promotional ship to Brazil :D
I just keep 2 feet of quick clot, a bandana and a pair of nitrile gloves. If you can improvise you can carry less gear on person. Granted I keep a full trauma kit in my truck and am a trained and active boo boo truck medic.
Good video. I carry a Rescue Essentials ankle kit when I go into the city and to church, with a SOF-T, 2 chest seals, a 4" trauma dressing, a pre-lubed airway, a Sharpie and 2 pr. rubber gloves. I'm curious about the elastic wallet: is the gripping loop durable enough to thread the opposite end of the wallet through it and secure that end with velcro (which may need to be sewn on)? If so, could it double as a pressure bandage by turning the back face against the limb? I also assembled several identical trauma kits for our church, and gave a crash course on how to use it for those who attended the session. I've provided a D - O2 cylinder with a BVM as well. The difficult part, in our small congregation, is getting people interested enough to come and pay attention, let alone practice the skills.
Great review! I think I started a trend! Lol I did a review on mine a week ago, now all of the cool kids are doing them! Well done! Love your videos! Your channel helped push me to start my own.
Not a fan of ankle trauma kits. As a first responder I’ve seen lots of legs get blown off. Rendering an angle trauma kit worthless. Plus they can prevent a person from running as fast, or if in a crushed vehicle could impede escape. Just a thought.
Guys can you just put a swat tourniquet some gauze, chest seals, wipes, pads in a zip lock bag and carry it because it's more slim? Or will the contents get damaged really quick?
Did this for years at work in my cargo pocket, works great......just change the bag every once in a while when it wears out. And use freezer grade bags, bit thicker.
Do paramedic then bridge program to nursing. Or nursing and bridge to medic. Then you are pretty well rounded and can work anywhere. Ive found medic to be more useful in regular life. Ive came up on several wrecks and my ems experience has helped a lot. Most nurses from my experience dont operate in the field well and I mean who can blame them its not in there realm of operation
Check and see if your local area has a Stop The Bleed class. Start with that and the basic American Heart Association CPR/AED/First Aid combo class that most hospital for fire departments host. After that, look into becoming an Emergency Medical Responder or Emergency Medical Technician depending on your schedule and budget. Another good option is a good Wilderness First Responder certification class. Randall’s Adventure Training and NOLS both put on a solid program from what I hear. Those will all be much more available and affordable than becoming a full on paramedic or trauma surgeon as suggested by others above.

I like the refuge medical kits. They mount in a flap pouch but there's another pouch inside with a grab handle so you can pull the whole kit out quickly.
Hey PrepMedic, i'm making this little message to inform you and your audience that Northman made a bigger, larger Minimedkit. Called the Minimedkit Large model ;)
What kills me is I see all these tacticool kits and I know folks have got to be buying them but anytime anything happens no one has anything on them but me. It’s gets old. I can’t fix a multiple car wreck with just one kit guys. You might be in Kroger next time. Carry the dang kit. Carry an upgraded one in the vehicle. Be actually willing to use it and help.
bro the amount of people that buy these kits are not high. that's an obvious reason people don't have them when things happen that require them... do you expect everyone to have one?
@@boofoozu your here looking ain’t ya ? Yeah I do think that in Oklahoma with 200 people somebody besides me should have something at least in their car. Looking at 75 ex military standing there wearing 1776 shirts rubbing beard oil freaking useless
On my ankle every day with a kit in both me and my wife’s cars. Still looking to add more. I’m not saying it can’t be done but I’m not interested in having to improvise when lives are on the line.
In germany for example you need to have an emergency kit in your car and in order to get a driving license you have to visit a medic course. It still surprise me that other countrys dont have that as a rule too.
@@uwesca6263 yup I did two tours as a soldier there. I’m not about government making it a requirement however I wish more people would do it. We don’t need more government.

Hi Northman, does your website come in an English form?
There is a button at the top that lets to switch it to english
I use MMK and the Fantome for several months and these are the best EDC medical pouch I have been able to test. Thx for the review !
Thanks a lot man 🙏🙏
I’ve kept one in my car since 2012 along with a “hunting” fully loaded first aid kit complete with a grizzly bear trauma section
I started carrying a TQ in my holster which made it much easier to conceal IFAK supplies, ankle or pocket.

I'll agree on the Ryker

Thank you so much for featuring something from Europe, as getting products from outside Europe is a hassle and financial pain.

As always great video. Thank you for mentioning the real-life factor. The kit has to work for YOU.
Thanks for the informed comparison.
Well, this was timely. I recently purchased an ankle ifak and am looking to build one for my jacket.
I really want to find a pocket sized trauma kit that's convenient for me
Check out the LT Creed Pocket Trauma Kit, as it will fit a pair of the compact size Hyfin Chest Seals
I carry the LTC pocket kit and the tourniquet on a "holster" in my belt. That way it fits fine.
As French civilian, I undestand his choices of design for not including enough space for a chest seal. Chest trauma is really really rare on m'y country, and as first aid responder for work (SST) we don't even formed to act with that type of injures.
Ordered the Mini Medi Kit after seeing this. Looking forward to prep in the U.K.
Sage advice as well. Thanks Sam
That could be good for anyone working in the woods or Bushcrafting
Great content! Keep it coming 🤙🏼🇺🇲😎

Hey u could probably use the elastic holder as a tourniquet
Yes, and there is also a tourniquet holder, with hook and loop, that you can use on two different position. You can purchase it on the website

Could you share ideas for women, especially when wearing a dress/ skirt an ankle or pocket kit is not really an option
Hey @Prepmedic you should review the FieldCraft Survival medical kits
Any suggestions for a good everyday carry for a backpack?
I’m interested in medical field, what medical field,study, specialty type of medical worker be the most useful in permanent Shtf wilderness Survival?.
Er trauma doc but next best thing depending on your state is critical care paramedic with experience

@PrepMedic, be curious on your review/reaction to the youtube video "I tried paramedic academy". Wondering if all training is like this in Colorado.

Where can I buy an ankle kit??
What chest seals do you recommend?
Any other suggestions for a duty belt type pouch. Ideally like a rip away you can have in small of back since I'm already full up front.
I like the refuge medical kits. They mount in a flap pouch but there's another pouch inside with a grab handle so you can pull the whole kit out quickly.
Bro, are you wearing speedcross 5's there? do you think they are worth the money?
I have the 4s and love them. They run narrow and I find them uncomfortable for general walking speed. Running is great though.
What is the zipped hoodie he’s wearing?
Wallet size edc ifak in a cargo pocket is as high speed as I get.
Okay, but where can I buy your jacket?
Vertx. Prepmed gets you 20% off
how much in usa
Will depend of the weight but I ship to the us for 10/15$
Handy ❤️

Nice beard!
