Law Enforcement Rapid Response Trauma Kit - TraumaPak

I really enjoy your reviews of the medical kits.

Just wanna say, i took a bullet during a home invasion 3 weeks ago, cop had a Bradley (didn't know the name but I instantly recognize it because I was staring at the damn thing.) Officer slapped on a chest seal and my ass was in that ambulance not long after.

[@guiserpa6761]

Nice video, but let me correct one EXTREMELY IMPORTANT INFO: the duct tape. You surely want to KEEP THE TAPE, specially for an active shooter scenario (I would suggest to even PACK MORE of it). The tape can be used to make chest seals (small piece of plastic, tape 3 sides, 1 side open for the vent) that are very important to prevent pneumothorax on open chest wounds. The tape is also excellent for stabilizing the neck/head, both with regular cervical collar (tie across the forehead to both sides of the pad/litter), and it also helps to fix improvised “neck devices” for the transport of the victims. The tape also makes excellent improvised wound closures: any fabric, even some rip-off clothes, tied with duct tape, help to stop the bleedings, leaving your hands free for other actions/transport. And the tape is also excellent for stabilizing bone fractures (so common in active shooter scenarios, where the high kinetic bullets make major bone fractures): some rigid material alongside the fractured limb, and duct tape to immobilize. (PS: I am a Medical Doctor, with decades of experience in pre-hospital medical care of very critical patients. So, please, put that duct tape back on the pack)

[@0mfgeeze]

I always carry an over-abundance of duct tape for its multi use applications for medical reasons as well as gear repair and it is also a fantastic fire starter :)

[@calid.]

Why not just carry a few chest seals

[@fdcadet]

The duct tape also works better when there’s lots of blood medical tape doesn’t like to stick to anything

[@cgmiller82]

In Canada that kit needs to be 4 times bigger... no carry laws means an active shooter can take his sweet time. Awesome video as always, thanks!

[@DjMakurimaru]

Then why is the United States ranked above terror states in 3rd world nations for active shooter attacks with higher casualties and amount of attacks?

[@cgmiller82]

@@DjMakurimaru Look at the active shooter locations where the casualty rate was high... All have firearm restrictions. When a citizen stops an active shooter, they don't even count it as an active shooter event. Gun control is people control, and nothing more. Criminals don't obey the laws.

[@PrepMedic]

Cite your source.

[@cgmiller82]

@@PrepMedic I've attempted to cite my source... KZbin keeps deleting it... because google/youtube are a tool of the gov't. Guns aren't bad.. people are good or bad and there are more good people than bad people. My point is when you restrict firearms from law abiding citizens the criminals win... every time because they aren't bound by those rules. Fill a room with a million random armed people... even under stress, there will be no murders. Fill a room with a million people and ban guns, only the bad people will have guns. It's really that simple.

[@owenmohr4787]

Great looking new kit. I carry combat gauze, soft t , gloves , hyfin chest seals and a space blinket in mine.

[@lexmedic157]

I've been entertaining this question a bunch lately from LE. Comes from patrol cops and SWAT operators alike. "The boss gave me an IFAK, but what should I get for an active shooter kit (or scene with multiple injured)?" Maybe you could make a video outlining a decent setup for a basic active shooter kit, something responding LE can grab in an active shooter incident? This video makes reference to active shooter kits, maybe put out a video as a reference?

[@lexmedic157]

@Lone_ Scout no doubt. I can tell the guys all day what they aight to have in a kit. Just thought it would be an interesting video. Differentiate ifaks then active shooter kits then ccp kits.

I’d love to have this to carry in the car off duty. Having the mags and the ifak is a good sub for carrying a battle belt or carrier around….. cause I don’t. This would be compact enough that I woukd

A made a kit somewhat like that with a skinny medic ifak, spare supplies i had laying and a double mag pouch from us grunt gear

[@marksmith9176]

Great video. I appreciate you breaking down those kits.

[@bigd2829]

I made a pretty decent kit for only about 120: NAR intermediate bleed control kit (CAT T, ETD, 2 packs of compressed gauze, shears, blanket, sharpie, HyFin seals, Nitrite gloves) - $70 QuikClot - $20 Boo boo kit by Coleman - $10 LIIVANS Trauma pouch - $14 Burn cream - $3 This kit will act as a common FAK to a trauma FAK if need be. I really went cheap with the pouch that holds the gear but that is something that can be upgraded later. Hope this helps anyone trying to build a relatively cheap trauma kit.

[@DylanLey]

Great review as always!

[@mrchris3537]

Maybe keep a flat gauze pad inbetween chest seals so you got something clean to wipe with befor sticking? Or if you were handing them off to someone they would have somthing and doesn’t add much bulk.

[@boromir57368]

As LE, I noticed the low hang issue from pictures I'd seen, so I'm glad you confirmed that for me... Do you see any potential for personally customizing it to sit higher?

[@PrepMedic]

The owner reached out and said they are coming out with a C2 that will sit higher. So hopefully that will come soon. In the meantime any drop leg molle panel will work.

I got tough to mark all my medical bag pulls with red. So in an emergency everybody in your Unit knows were you medical equipment is and if the enemy is that close so that they can se the red strap then you got A different sett of problems on your hands (in my opinion).

[@abepeterson]

I have to disagree on throwing out the duc tape, especially if someone had an exit wound, you have to put the chest vent for a sucking chest one over where the round entered and they using the packaging it came in to cover the excit wound and taping all the sides with duc tape. Last thing I'd want is to not have anything to make an air tight seal on the back.

[@leonb3859]

Hello, I just found your Channel a few days ago, but I love your content. Could you please make a video about a First Aid Kit for hunters or other people, which have to wait for help for a few hours or even days, cause they are so wild into the wilderness. Cause I was out last year, with some friends for camping and hunting and one guy got injured on the leg (nothing fancy, it was only bleeding pretty strong) but no one had a First Aid Kit (now everyone carries one), so we tried to stop the bleeding, with clothes and duct tape Luckily a guy came along us, which owned the land nearby and helped us with his kit and brought us to his house. Since then I know the importance of a first aid kit, but I don't know, what I should put into it, to be prepared for nearly everything. So I would like to see a kit like this, which maybe also deals with problems, like heart attacks or something else ..

[@brtseif]

I would check out the outdoor adenture kit series from "Tactical Medical Solutions". It has some trauma supplies and other items more pertinent to things the average person may encounter while doing outside activities.

[@wcsoblake85]

[@larrymiller6840]

TraumaPak has a new “micro kit”. Have you checked it out yet?

[@ameriicanprepper5813]

I don't know how they can say cheap trauma scissors when they look much better than some of the older kits I have seen over the years. I would like to see what they consider expensive pair but all you have to do is resharpen them using a knife sharpener. They have a lot of new models now that seem to be hitting the market. I am sure a lot of you have bought cheap scissors at dollar stores before and kept them a really long time. Some of the videos I have been reviewing on prepping shows guys saying that Leatherman tools in some of these prepared kit are cheap just because there not name brand Leatherman's. It's not a big deal there just as great as the expensive ones.

[@bigd2829]

For that much it would have been nice if they put higher quality shears.

[@jasontremblay1713]

Ok, so serious question for you. I am a retired medic and currently an EMR , but I run the Canadian national program for Amateur Radio Emergency Services. My question is these drop legs do they come in a more diagnostic setup, with quick access to key medical intervention items. A common practice is to provide communication at public events. I also offer when I am on site locally the additional first response until EMS arrives. I want something quick and on me. I have a large conterra kit for extended care. I am debating on a drop kit. Yes we do wear vest for visibility but no need for armour. Any suggestions

[@LucasAugier]

Hey sam where are those pants from?

[@madnessgodman]

It's similar to the Condor kits.

[@jayteefishing1543]

Sometimes I think these companies don’t consult with medical pros before releasing new kits. Idk if they do or not but it seems like a no brainer to me….if you’re going to produce an active shooter kit that’s supposed to be capable of treating multiple patients you should have someone that’s been in that situation or is trained in that area to tell you what contents the kit should consist of. IFAKs are super easy to put together and it would take a real moron to screw that up but I feel like something like this takes a lot more thought and strategy.

[@slayerXcore]

Please review the bearfak from refuge medical

[@billmakesmovies]

Drop leg holsters have never been good, and never will be good, because people’s legs taper in the wrong direction, so the leg straps never stay tight to the leg for more than 30 a few steps before they turn into a dangling, sloshing, mess. The solution to that issue for holsters at least has already been made with the Safariland UBL mid/low, and the TRex leg strap, which is really only there to support the holster from pulling away from the leg as you draw. There is never a time when a drop leg system will work well, and I can’t see myself ever wanting one, especially for a purpose like active shooter response. All that dangling would be silly. Current solution for expanded med pouch for me is a cheap Condor EMT MOLLE pouch stuck on the side of a Rush 12 backpack, which is pretty much the same med pouch for only $15 or something. That pouch can also be stuffed into or woven onto a 5.11 Bailout bag. Pez dispensers and stuff go in chest rig/placard.

[@alexilot]

personally i would not throw out the card incase i the person with the kit if the one that needs the help i keep it right there in the front easy to see for who ever might be working on me incase they dont have the training and i cant walk them thru it yes id rather have someone with training but in emergency

@@zfjames it's not a "bad" tourniquet, it's inferior to a windlass tourniquet but it works for the intended purpose. The SWAT-T is a tool for all kinds of trauma, not just as a tourniquet. It can be used to put pressure on a wound, keep packing in, it can be used as a sling or to tie legs together, in addition to several other uses. It's affordable and compact. No one in their right mind would suggest replacing a windlass tourniquet with a SWAT-T but as a complement it's great.

They just aren’t trained that well unless prior military. 99% of cops say “I just want to go home and have a beer yet they only work 3 12s or 4 10s. They could be training but they are incredibly lazy for the majority and I love officers. It’s just the truth. Not to mention weapon knowledge and tactics. Some of the worst I’ve ever seen. If you aren’t doing hundreds of dry fire training every single day before the start of work or after. 99% you’re going to miss in a real life situation. That’s what it takes because in real life you’re going to be 30% of your 90% when training on top of a medical situation.
