[@HadjiMcDirka]

So glad you brought up improvising medical supplies. No doubt supplies are better than improvising, but knowledge and a creative mind can help lighten the load on what you carry on the daily. Kudos on bringing up the importance of quality chest compressions over delivering breaths!

[@anthonypetrillo841]

The only thing I’d say is missing is a blade. I don’t carry it for defensive purposes, but if you do need to improvise some medical supplies or expose a patient, it’s worth carrying. It can also be used to rescue someone (especially if you have a glass breaker) or just for convenience (opening annoying packaging etc). I sometimes carry a Benchmade Triage, but now I often just take a Gerber EAB because it takes up no space, and I never have to worry about sharpening. Even a small keychain knife or strap cutter is adequate.

[@xanderfish1645]

It's overkill, but I use the Benchmade AFO 2

[@oldschooltakingyaback]

Benchmade are enemies of the 2nd amendment, and donate heavily to Democrats who are anti-knife/anti-self defense types. So definitely a no-go there, forever. I carry the Exodus Knife & Tool Adventurecraft. It's awesome.

[@thatfishbreeder]

@@oldschooltakingyaback really!? I had no idea. Could you direct me to an article or keyword that discusses their stance?

@@oldschooltakingyaback Benchmade actually did a favor for a police department and it triggered a bunch of you alphas. Also I’m a democrat and not anti gun or knife. I’m just not paranoid that the government are coming to take my toys.

[@thegiant17]

Pro tip: Magguts makes a +2 round extension for the p365 magazine that does not increase the profile of the magazine substantially. This would increase your capacity to 14+1. I can confirm that this will not impact the magazine performance either. It does this by replacing the internals of the magazine, and on the 12 round magazine it adds between 1/8 and 1/4 of an inch to the bottom of the magazine.

[@Sourpusscandy]

Money well spent!

[@negotiatewithleverage4763]

Was going to mention this as well. +1. Gotta go Magguts.

[@Gamer83-pz7lk]

This is a great KZbin channel I have been watching it since a 8 year old child I’m now 13 and wanting to become a swat paramedic you have truly helped me and inspired me thank you prep medic thank you

Still wanna be a swat paramedic a year later? Keep on growing up strong. Adulthood kicks ass brother just gotta put the work in

[@ejmac_88]

If you like the 12-round mag on the P365 I can't recommend enough the Wilson combat P365 xl grip mod. it works with the 12-round cap mags and I have been using one for almost 2 years and love it. I always felt play with the lower portion of the mag and it bothered me. The gip texture is perfect on them also.

[@NRA_Life_Member]

A few years back I bought Magpul’s DAKA bifold wallet. Best wallet I have ever owned. Never have to worry about the wallet get wet, oily or bloody. Never have to worry about it stretching. Never have to worry about wearing out the welded seams. I carry it in my front pocket. I think you will love it! Side note, I also keep a R.A.T. tourniquet on me at all times too.

[@Nostradankus]

I'd reconsider that RAT if I was you. It's not T3C approved, it's a pain to apply tight enough to stop major bleeding (especially if it gets all slick with blood) and tends to come loose easily. They also have extremely high occlusion pressure and are even more painful to wear compared to a proper TQ. If you want to stick with the gold standard then a SOF-T Wide can be folded down pretty compact (check out Mountain Man Medical for a good video on how to stage them). You only lose a bit of "self-appliability" compared to a CAT. Or you can go with a SWAT-T, they're more compact than a full windlass TQ and just a little more bulky than a RAT. They're also not T3C approved. Application is still a pain and self-application is really only possible on your legs but you can combine them with gauze or a shirt to make a pressure bandage as a bonus.

[@Alpha_Donk]

I have a 43x with s15 mag so I get 15+1 in that small form factor. Highly recommend that setup.

[@pooppyybuhhole]

Thanks! I have a 43x as well and didn’t know there were 15r mags available for it.

Recommend Kägwerks EUD case, less bulky, easier to fit in a pocket; and have the same level of protection as the juggernaut case. It can attach to the ATAK system on the front of the plate carrier as well…but not sure if they support i13 tho.

[@annekedebruyn7797]

Magpul iPhone case. Tough for drops, slim profile , last years and very nice looking. Has the grip of an AR mag and colors variety are awesome.

[@PrepMedic]

But it doesn’t attach to a plate carrier

[@kevinborish]

Good choice in the p365. I had one and while it was amazing to conceal it was a little to small for me to shoot consistently so I went up to the 365xl. I have been contemplating on trying the xmacro frame on my xl slide and fcu. I believe the 17rd macro mags come with baseplates that make them work with the 365 and 365xl as well.

[@HunterBidenscrack]

The 17 round mags do come with baseplates and fit the 365. I’ve got the 17 rounder in my 365 right now.

[@iphone1027]

Have the Xmacro tacops and love it. Especially that it came with 4 mags. Enjoy your sig!

[@jeffmurphy9987]

I also have the 365 X Macro Tacops and really have enjoyed it. Very easy to conceal high capacity and fit and function is perfect for me. 4 mags was a huge bonus. It’s my third striker fired handgun and has a great trigger my other two were polymer striker fired but really sucked so I sold them shortly after buying them due to being cheaply made. But the X Macro Tacops checks all my boxes so after several months training with the 365 it’s now my go to for daily carry.

[@carson4388]

My EDC as an off duty law enforcement officer. Just a normal pair of blue jeans usually, a tru spec all Velcro belt (had the same one for 4 years now works great off duty as well as on duty as a under belt), a tactical pen in my back left pocket for if I need to write something down or use it to break a window ect, POM OC spray in my left front pocket(have used it a few times on dogs and it worked fantastically), cell phone I place in my left front pocket as well(iPhone 14 pro max), code 118 wallet in my front right pocket(is is rfid protected), a pocket knife clipped inside my front right pocket(usually some type of otf or assisted blade). For my firearm I carry a Springfield hellcat concealed appendix carry on my right side( I’ve had to draw and use it once to shoot a dog that was attacking me), a old g shock watch on my left wrist, and lastly a spare magazine in my back right pocket, although I sometimes leave it out of my edc.

[@carson4388]

⁠​⁠@@JeronimoStilton14lol people in my city don’t understand keep your dogs in your yard on a leash or put up. So when dogs are roaming freely running up to me they are getting sprayed or shot either one. Only reason I shot one was because it caught me off guard and I dropped my spray, that dog had been attacking people in the neighborhood though and I had about shot it once before, because when I was walking to my car from my old apartment complex it was attack another gentleman.

[@JeronimoStilton14]

@@carson4388 Not sure how I feel about your phrasing. "So, when dogs are roaming freely running up to me, they are getting sprayed or shot either one" that's absolutely horrific if they aren't also being aggressive (which I hope you assumed was implied). I have had dogs walk or run up to me and despite it being a bit of a shock, it's only ever been negative twice and I simply left their territorial zone (had to walk past their house) and they left me alone. That being said the last one sounds justified at least.

[@davidrahbany]

Battery life is stellar on that watch. Cool video.

[@annley]

Love the p365, I bought the p365x a about a month ago, had a about 8 failure to return into battery the first 200 rounds, my gun came very tight tho, after the first range Day, I cleaned it and shot another 200 rounds the next few days and no malfunctions, great gun overall, even though I love my g19, glock really needs to make a competitor to the p365 series, the 43, and the 43x isn’t it

[@ltbunghole8528]

I also have a 365x. So far zero issues with it and about 1k+ rounds thru it

[@ToddKing]

"glock really needs to make a competitor to the p365 series" They will. Right when everyone is ready to move on...

[@floridaman6138]

I really like my Kore Essentials ratcheting -type belt (does have a buckle) because it's even easier to make those fine adjustments. I empathize with wanting to stay minimal as much as possible and I am picky about what I carry too, but I do carry a light (I like the Streamlight Microstream USB) because a phone or watch light just doesn't have the same throw and usefulness. And I always have a knife and small multi-tool (Gerber Dime or Leatherman PS4). I use these often enough to keep having them on me. Especially a knife. I like replaceable razor blade-type knives (I have an Outdoor Edge Razor-lite and a Coast DX126 folding utility knife) because I don't like sharpening a lot, I cut a fair bit of cardboard, and I almost never need a more robust blade for me personally. Have a Gerber EAB and it's good but I don't like needing a screwdriver to swap blades and having the potential to lose a tiny screw, and the Coast has a push button that makes it super quick and easy. Have a Flipside 4 wallet. My Samsung Galaxy watch quit charging and I never used the extras on it and am looking for another watch. Pistol is a Glock 27 with a TLR-6. Old school at this point but I have my reasons.

[@ToddKing]

Kore Essentials is the best EDC belt on the market as far as I'm concerned.

Honestly I think muted color wallets (or black) are less practical, I have a bright neon orange wallet and its great. Alway easy to spot in the bottom of my bag or if I misplaced it around the house. I haven't lost it yet in the woods or while camping but I think my odds are a lot better at finding it.

Just carry a backpack with a small med kit. I carry a small leather backpack with a med kit, spare socks, some food, a screwdriver, tissues, light, bottle of water, and plenty of space left if I need to carry something.

[@jayteefishing1543]

Actually you want a light that sticks out beyond the muzzle on a combat weapon. That light is what’s going to keep your weapon in battery. If you stick a semi auto pistol into someone even if you barely push the slide back by doing that, you’re screwed and your weapon is a paper weight. Which is why you want a light that sticks out beyond the muzzle so the light makes contact and not the end of your muzzle so you can fire your weapon and it will still cycle.

[@Jimi_Neutron]

Your pilot must love those lights on the watch while he’s flying 🤣
