Delta Bag Setup (watch before buying)

[@طارق_النابلسي]

Its a good day when Prepmedic posts

[@southernmountainmen5042]

Hey Sam, I was inspired by your content to pursue a career in EMS. I got my EMT three months ago and am now working for a private ambulance service as a stepping stone into EMS. We routinely transport a lot of dialysis patients, and I think a lot of people would benefit from some content on caring for dialysis patients, as well as complications that go along with hemodialysis. Thanks!

[@aaronwilson4258]

Please make a video on things we should buy with our FSAs. I have $3k I need to spend by the end of the year and have no idea what I can/should buy.

[@ironteacup2569]

Assessment tools(good bp cuffs/steth, ent kit, pulse ox) kind of stuff… also some sim stuff. Wound packing simulators would be amazing

[@theparaminuteman]

Quality vitals equipment

[@pmedic523]

Good idea

[@morgankenney7542]

If you really wanna spend it all buy an AED

I had dudes down range who had the prototype for this bag. A lot of them used it for meds/blood admin and their HABCs were in a large fanny pack, or offloaded to their guys. Military friends who may be considering this bag, remember, your dude’s IFAKs should be stocked well enough so you shouldn’t really have to use any of your stuff anyway, minus specialty interventions and treatments, obviously. My HABCs were in a NAR CCRK that I wore around my waste and my aid bag was just used for IV access and blood. I understand that things are different civilian side, just something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the video, you're one of the few bloggers to review delta's flaws in detail, and SS has done a great job of marketing their brand, although I'm one of the ones who's been impacted

[@VuzixCorporation]

Your content is helpful. Thank you for taking the time to review the Delta Bag.

[@FELOPZDDEFPOTEC]

6:13 "Well, Ma'am, they've got a gunshot wound through their chest, but their blood sugar was 115..." LMAO the shade, I love it. Also, love the review, glad to get a review where it didn't work out instead of just drooling over the kit because its gucci.

[@leslieunderwood3520]

Again, another great presentation however; when I saw your introduction video on this bag last week the bag didn’t strike me as one I would be interested in. Looking forward to your future videos.

[@docdolittle8057]

Sam, thank you. You saved me 329 dollars plus tax of disappointment lol 😅

[@daveandrews5998]

Looks like a pretty good bag that costs about 3-4 times more than it should. Thanks for another helpful video.

[@best3189]

Are you planning to check the EuroMED Lazarus pack?

[@garylgoldberg]

I love seeing how experts roll and learning about kit. I wonder how much closer to a pack you'd use if it had that two extra inches of depth inside, the outside pouches had a bit more room, the shock cord holes were a little bit easier to lace up and if it had some useable MOLLE to attach a sub-pouch... I could see something like that being the basis of a hiking survival pack.

[@DaveedNation]

Definitely agree if your working off your kit first its probably big enough. But for the extended care alpine rescue... probably not. But hey I'm just a 1 year EMT so love to hear everyone's opinions.

[@ianharo2040]

Great video! Have you thought about looking into the new 18L Savotta medic backpack? I would love to see a video on it thank you!!

[@vikingcombativesco]

Teardown systems just released a tegris insert for the middle compartment that seems a lot better for organizing than the individual Spiritus ones

[@m1a1jbroms]

A lot of the comments nail one of the target end user needs of this bag being more of an ALS only setup, but one thing I think people are missing is that a lot of the special dudes who are using this bag abroad are part of a two or more provider team where more common items can be split and specific items can be carried by one or the other 14:07

[@PrepMedic]

Absolutely. I don’t want to come across as “this bag sucks”. I want to make it clear that it simply doesn’t work for my needs

[@allenainsworth1443]

With iGell’s and AirQ3’s sizing is based on weight. I have found that someone might match the weight requirements for a size 4 but the size 4 might be to big for their throat and it can cause blood in the airway if not lubricated properly. Just food for thought.

[@ironteacup2569]

The old tactical tailor M5 bag is still the best to me

[@hunterlorusso]

Thank you for your review

[@no1medic]

1st line kit should contain : cric kit , TXA , sam medical IO , tourniquets and chest seals / hemostatic dressings . Larger fanny pack with additional STB items ( mystery ranch makes good ones ) . Pack should be larger ALS , additional TXA , assessment tools pulse ox / cuff and scope , realistic meds , no fluids , have an additional bag for rehydration that’s back at the insertion vehicle , collapsing BVM , hypothermia kit are essential for survival .

[@PrepMedic]

In some mission sets, sure but every medic is going to change it up depending on what the situation is and what their scope allows

[@Anonym69-d9s]

Can you make a video about military medic like PJs,68whiskey,18delta,navy sarc,etc. Will a military medic gonna transition well to a civilian medic role?

[@PrepMedic]

If I get the chance to interview someone, yeah, but since I have never been in the military I am not the one to be handing out this kind of advice.

[@danielkinsler46]

No ex mil but have worked with some and they still have to do a paramedic course if Im not mistaken to transfer to civilian role.

[@PrepMedic]

@@danielkinsler46 It all depends on the branch and MOS. Most 18Ds and PJs will have their paramedic when they come out of their respective pipelines but they dont necessarily need to maintain their national registry. 68Ws are traditionally the equivalent of EMTs stateside but the Army is transitioning more to the paramedic scope. Corpsmen are again, hit or miss, but I don't think they are inherently have any equivalent civilian certifications unless they pursue it themselves.

[@Michaelsnot]

Can you do a review on the NAR mini medic kit.

[@mygamertag2010X]

Great video

[@DeanBucy]

What is the personal beacon on the bag?

[@dakotahauck9859]

I loved my delta bag, I made my own bag based on it with more depth.

[@andrewblack3393]

Sam (or anyone else here), would you mind posting links to the studies for iGel sizing you mentioned?

[@teddyarnold6789]

Where do you get all your contents of the bag?

[@danielkinsler46]

So what bag do you think is best for this size or slightly bigger?

[@רוןביטון-ר8צ]

Can you link the medication pouch?

[@Alfeco-dm7uk]

Could you, if it's possible, interview an army combat medic, pararescue jumper, or navy corpsman to see how they set their gear.

[@brettcarden]

I know spiritus had an sf medic go over how he has his kit setup. Just as an FYI.

[@hunterlorusso]

I agree this bag is to small. But I want to say something. Allot of people saying the spiritus delta bag is to expensive need to realize. Although it is a lot of money. It’s comparable to step packs and merit USA. Almost every ambulance in America uses stat packs or merit.

[@rsurdyk]

As a T1D.. I carry honey. It hits faster than glucose. Would you recommend using it on others or is it an allergy concern.?

[@rene2633]

Review the Spiritus Fanny as a IFAK

[@KingGumboot]

Do you still use the assault medic pack?

[@CodyMiller-vc4nn]

Sam love your videos and have been watching for years! AEMT out of PA. Could you review the Bearfak from refuge medical? they make a lot of awesome stuff but want your take on it.

[@jasonscoggins01]

QuickClot vs Celox why not Celox? (I believe you prefer QC)

[@CaesarBest]

I don't know what half of this means, but thanks for sharing :)

[@martinausterfield8597]

Interesting that chest seal goes in airway for you. In my mind that’s a cat haem.

[@PrepMedic]

Chest seals are a breathing intervention and are performed at that point in MARCH so I almost always put them with my airway and breathing interventions

[@martinausterfield8597]

@ would you not pack the wound and then chest seal over the top if it was somewhere in the chest? Going HOTT principles for trauma rather than ABCDE or MARCH? ‘Treat as you see’ style?

[@PrepMedic]

@martinausterfield8597 no. You never pack a chest wound. The only time you might put a seal over wound pack would be the neck. The entire purpose of a chest seal is to allow for negative pressure respiration in the presence of a sucking chest wound.

[@jonpalmer2766]

👍

[@logdog4010]

Post Malone uses one for edc, fun fact

[@MedproBandit]

Can I trade you for a nice rats pack? It’s new I’ve only taken the tags off and stocked it otherwise it’s sat in my closet. I want a delta for work

[@LiterateDuck]

This bag is weird because it’s clearly for a very specific person- I just can’t figure out who, based on its design and price. And that’s coming from someone who has LOTS of Spiritus stuff.

[@PrepMedic]

It’s for SF medics who A: work primarily off their plate carrier and belt B: have a larger aid bag stocked in a vehicle/CCP and C: are able to distribute some of their larger supplies between their teammates

[@HK-wq1ei]

it's all in name: it was designed by and for 18 Deltas.

[@jaymarvel2424]

@@PrepMedic @literateduck In the info/promotional video that spiritus did with an SF medic going over his set up, he had a ton of (especially ALS) stuff on his carrier and belt. The bag was just a part of his kit. I think non-medic SF guys have a fair amount stuff (esp BLS) in their ifaks, so the medic can supplement that with advanced stuff from his kits and use the bag as a backup

[@Reptile-G]

First ?

[@L228A]

I like quality stuff, but that bag is WAY overpriced for what it offers.
