Infantry Team Gear: Medical

In this video I talk about the medical gear and equipment that an infantry unit should carry. Enjoy! And stay tuned!

As a Corpsman, thank you for also carrying band aids and not just making us do it haha

@@TheGruntPerspective Bring a Doc on a guest. As a 1980s-90s Corpsman, I'd dig seeing a Doc's current Kit.

[@Zachaccount93]

It’s really good to see you waterproofing your meds. That’s a must.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

Absolutely

[@EQ9962]

Epic thumbnail /intro would be a pair of clean socks, canteen of water and motrin on the table. There, infantry Ifak. Ok, maybe some moleskin…

[@TheGruntPerspective]

Ah yes, the necessity’s

Don't forget the immodiom lol

@EQ9962 My eye twitched when I read that. 😂😂😂 yut.

Great video man! I'm a medic in the Canadian army and work with a light infantry battalion. I always try and preach to my guys to bring their own boo boo kit for minor cuts/scrapes and bring some common over the counter drugs. There's no way I can carry enough meds or boo boo items for every dude in a platoon and quite frankly I shouldn't have to. Up here we use the foxtrot litter which is a much better litter then the soft one you showcased but if that's all you got then that's all you got. Pro tip with the litter, put an issued laundry bag inside the litter to act as a casualty effects bag. All the clothing and equipment you're taking off the dude can go in the bag and will make it 1000x easier to carry. Great stuff as always.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

@@Traineddelta solid advice, thanks for watching!

[@rodtennant7603]

Another well thought through video. The mark of a combat leader is one who cares for his troops both in training and operations. You cannot rely on always having a medic with a fully equipped bag. All training should be with full equipment, as for operations. Be prepared. Train hard fight easy. Try buddy carrying a casualty through the bush for 30 km in the heat and you will realize the value of a litter. In South Africa, all issued personal groundsheets were designed to be used as a litter as well. However they did not have a built in mylar cover. Individual olive green mylar blankets were however available. Well done!!! Greetings from a former operational infantry officer bush war veteran from South Africa.

Awesome videos, thank you. keep it up! Glad their getting the recognition and positive feedback they deserve.

It's surprising to hear a grunt speak on medical. Usually they don't care to learn or plan in that realm. Tubular nylon is another option for carrying someone and it's much cheaper. Spiritus has a great video on it.

[@TheGruntPerspective]

It is 100% our realm, and it’s completely ignorant to not train or plan for casualties. Tube nylon is pretty cool for sure, but I definitely prefer the pole-less litter just because of the ease of use/ease of training case

[@beaubooker433]

Awesome Vid!! Lot of great info!!

[@kurokuma9947]

Thanks for video but i watch it with my breakfast tomorrow, but ı know this is a great video like others so thank you (and ı wanna say some thing, my country we cant buy 5.56 or other military semi auto rifles only huntin rifles and they are toooo expensive but ı think medical thing important as a shooting skill, maybe ı cant buy a rifle or a pistol a loong time but ı can buy IFAK o another medical think, that's why this video is so important and useful for people like me, so maybe ı can save some ones life one day, thank you :) btw sory for my bad language

[@MrSwccguy]

Broham we got the gist, your country sucks arse In the arms department but you wanna train medical! Good on you brotherham!!!

I'm glad we're going away from Skedcos. I get it, they can be hoisted from the air and have that capability, but damn if they don't absolutely suck to carry around in the woods. Source: Have humped Skedcos in 3 different major terrain types: Desert (wasn't bad). Alpine Forest (mostly bad). Swamps (fuck you it was so bad)

[@TheGruntPerspective]

I’ve lugged them around some pretty dense jungle as well, wouldn’t recommend

[@k02ak]

I dont know if you've seen it, but agilite has a buddy strap system that carries a wounded guy on your back, wondered what your thoughts are on it.

[@williamwimmer5473]

like everything agilite makes, it's a great way to get money out of instagram operators

[@k02ak]

@@williamwimmer5473 only thing is i only found out about the buddy strap on accident on a shop. I tried to look up reviews on it but nothing. Only the videos from agilite

[@TheGruntPerspective]

I haven’t seen it yet!

[@k02ak]

@@TheGruntPerspective its a cool concept but i just question if it is a good piece of gear that you can rely on. If you ever get it and test, would be nice to see a vid on it

[@MrSwccguy]

That strap is a very niche product

[@TheGunNerd]

Link to the litter shown here?

[@ianmurray4081]

Would a cargo net, like you see in airborne operations or in the civilian world on the back of pickup trucks in lieu of a tailgate work?

[@TheGruntPerspective]

I assume it most likely would work to carry someone. But the Mylar blanket on the inside is the big ticket thing in my opinion. When people lose large amounts of blood their body is often no longer able to regulate temperature and they go into hypothermia.

[@ianmurray4081]

@@TheGruntPerspective true that. I usually carry some “ space blankets.” And have one of those S.O.L. emergency bivouac bags…..

[@Whitehawkvisionfilms]

Your IFAK/TCCC setup? And your BooBoo Kit?

Can you give a brand name for the pole less litter?

That litter a sleeping bag

It’s cozy

As a platoon HM I definitely got some of the cozy sleep in the field with it, that and I cuddling with one of my Marines.
