I've been carrying IIIa backpack armor for about 6 years now. You just get used to carrying it and its comforting when you get your situational awareness activated.

My brother took a 9mm round to the back of his headrest last summer. Thank God for steel bars in '92 Honda headrests... now I have a grey man style SOG backpack with a polyethylene level lllA insert in the laptop compartment, which hangs behind my seat by the handle over the headrest bars in my truck. Also has a pistol compartment on the bottom with a larger secondary gun, holster, and mags. Spent less than $100 on the whole pack and armor. Very lightweight and flexible.

[@rangereview4590]

I've thrown around the pros and cons for myself but when you said kids backpack it really inspired me because of the recent school shootings it might add some piece of mind alongside carrying some basic/stop the bleed gear

[@Athreehourtour]

Good vid. Good armor. Put some in my kids packs 4mo ago…. So saddened by the senseless cowardly act on 5-24-22 Praying for Texas tragedy and the families.

Thank you

great video, I'm studying for my NREMT right now, would like to hear your opinion and review on the best boots for Paramedics/EMTs

[@peterkukolik8402]

Thank you.

Sam, next video is shooting test those armor plates.

[@LW-qb2bx]

Great new LUT!

[@PrepMedic]

Thanks! Actually just a new grade, havent been able to find a good lut to use with my studio yet

[@TROY-MCCLURE-1991]

Hey Sam, I don't know if you're going to answer this comment but I would like to know what was the IFAK you've used to demonstrate in the Vertx EDC Ready Pack 2.0 video?

[@BroadVariety]

Hmmm, idk what that one was. But ik he carry’s the Eagle IFAK in his Vertex Gambut 2.0. If you wanna get that one, it’s really good. Bit pricey tho.

[@marekholub8668]

I have a bad feeling this will get viral now...

[@dakotaostler7365]

Hey Sam, I’ve been watching your videos from the beginning and have enjoyed them! I’m an Urban AEMT and I do IFTs too. I want to get into tactical medicine and rescue style medicine/training. Do you have any tips on how/where to look or start. I live in Utah.

[@PrepMedic]

First step is to get your paramedic. After that it’s all about getting on a department with a TEMS component

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

I'm guessing that they have a long life so while they might be a bit pricey, they offer protection for a lot of years.

[@av1204]

has there ever been a report of a backpack armor actually being used?

[@spookysockmonkey4605]

Not that I can find

[@PrepMedic]

Not that I know of to tell you the truth.

[@Favorite-catNip]

Ja. Curious I seen videos of backpacks.

[@shuumai]

Maybe the type of person who uses armor like this is also aware enough to not be where people are being shot!

[@searchBLOC941]

There was a Russian guy that ran into a mall with an AK and a ballistic backpack to stop an active shooter a while back. He never took any rounds, but instead was focused on getting people out so the structure was clear for emergency responders. Either way, still helps the brain knowing I've got something to help stop or slow rounds coming at me.

[@shuumai]

I like the laptop bag. Could even stuff it in your jacket or under your shirt in some odd situation.

[@WhuDhat]

just wear it backwards

[@Favorite-catNip]

Anyone know what the Tops* food...shooter had?

[@rj8245]

Very sad that there is no international shipping

[@bdub3871]

Percentage is higher in an active shooter if you live along the 188 ancient ley-line.

[@stephenrountree3214]

When I visited Brisbane and the Gold Coast in Australia, it literally felt like a more laid back America. I’ve never once had a run in with a gun problem here in America. For 99.999999% of people, the experience is the same, except y’all drive on the wrong side of the road and talk funny.

[@86aidan31]

I’ll go buy a seatbelt then! Great video though, thanks

[@Favorite-catNip]

I know. Really.

Hello Sam I am a big fan of you , how can contact with you directly ? I need your help

[@jonpalmer2766]

if people aren't into this stuff they probably won't connect Premier with body armor.

[@PrepMedic]

That is true

[@MarkHolmberg]

Snide remarks. As requested.

[@samsonthemanson]

It's nice to see an EDC channel that isnt rambling about political stuff. Cant stand Warrior Poet Society anymore. I just want good EDC tips. Not fearmongering and panic pornography.

[@shuumai]

The reasons for EDC decisions are important though. If there is nothing to fear, why carry anything at all?

[@Davidow1]

Thanks for pointing out that you are better off spending your money on things like seatbelts, fire alarms, health checkups and healthy food before buying fun items like this. With that said, if you have all those other things covered - then feel free to spend your hard earned dollars on fun tings!

Is there anyone one who is not from the US and carries Bulletproof Backpacks ?

[@GreenFiyaEnt]

If it doesn't stop 556 it's pointless in a active shooter situation

[@PrepMedic]

And yet over 90% of shootings in the US are done with handguns.

[@GreenFiyaEnt]

@@PrepMedic but yet if I'm putting armor in my backpack I'm not worried about hand guns

[@PrepMedic]

@@GreenFiyaEnt Not following your logic here. This armor mitigates the most common firearm threat, doesn't mean it will work in 100% of situations but even if you just look at active shooter stats on their own handguns still account the for the majority of cases.

[@GreenFiyaEnt]

@@PrepMedic well clearly I'm confused on the target audience here I thought it was for school /active shooting situations which are 15 is definitely weapon of choice or common threat in these situations now so u would think it would be level 3+ or special threat

The fact that you have to even consider about carrying armour everyday like if you were going to battle is mind boggling to me.

[@gusjeazer]

unless you live in Rio de Janeiro

[@twestgard2]

I can’t speak to anywhere else, but here in the US, the attraction has absolutely nothing to do with any practical need. The attraction is a lifestyle statement that you’re “the kind of person” who has a need for body armor. It’s grown men pretending to be in a make-believe army that exists only in their own head. They’re also commonly extremely fat, earning the insulting nickname “Gravy Seals.”

[@marinekid13]

@@gusjeazer don't forget Chicago, The Bronx, any city with strick gun laws.

[@joeblow9284]

You don’t “have to” do anything and statistically, you’ll be fine. However, some of us like to consider all the options. It’s called personal choice.

[@twestgard2]

@@joeblow9284 Lol, well obviously ridiculously out of shape old dudes remain free to choose to buy gear and pretend it makes them battle ready instead of what they really are, which is an easy loot drop. The personal choice you seem to have a problem with is my freedom to choose to tell fat loot drop LARP guys that they’re fat loot drop LARPs.

[@engineeringsquirrel]

I'm really disappointed where we're at a point where bulletproof backpacks are a thing now.

[@knight9145]

Don’t know if you grew up in the 80’s but it. Was pretty bad. I actually think it was much worse. From middle school to high school, medal detectors were installed at entrances. Gang violence was a huge problem.

[@spookysockmonkey4605]

@@knight9145 definitely just sensationalized now which is why "mass" shooting is popular, but nobody talks about the multiple kids shot via gang violence, I hung out with a rough crowd and saw some stupid stuff create violence daily.
