Best comment I read about this topic so far: "I was always lucky enough to have a colleague with the stuff I needed on his belt, so please keep doing it!" It's a pain, that many people judge their colleagues by the amount of stuff on their belts. For me it has always been quite simple: if it's annoying in the pockets, it goes on the belt. And to be honest it's not such a big deal on the station I work at, since many of the more senior colleagues have quite a lot of equipment on their belts. From my experience it's often about having a reason to carry it in the first place. Afterwards there's hardly any difference between a few things on the belt and stuffed pockets. It's actually a bit more handy to have it on the belt since our pockets don't have quite much internal structure.

Very similar to what I used to carry as an EMT. I couldn't give drugs so i never carried a carpuject. I had a vest i actually got for free from a family friend, his police department changed the vests every 5 years and they still had 5 years left on the date which carried me through until i became a nurse and left EMS. I used to wear it when i worked in the city, as well as my transport job when my truck would go to Reading, PA, Philadelphia or other high risk areas. Even though i didn't do 911 in transport , the areas were often high drug and it made me feel comfortable in the rare case someone tried to rob our bls unit thinking we had sedatives or opiates

Hey man, just wanted to thank you for your instructional content; some of it was super helpful when I was studying up for NREMT earlier this year! If you don't mind me geeking out for a sec on boots... Dunno if you've ever heard about this, but I think there was a study done some years ago by the US Army on boots and socks. If I remember right, it found that the best footwear layout was (from inside to outside): a thin, wicking sock (ex high% polyester sock); then a slightly thicker merino wool sock (I love DarnTough socks); and lastly the boot. The inner sock just kinda glides around within the outer sock, preventing blisters/hotspots/chafing. Plus, it dumps all your sweat into the wool, which can keep you warm even when wet. The whole setup ventilates well enough to use year-round too. It's how I've always worn my boots, and it's never let me down yet. Boy Scout -> EMT -> CSAR hopeful/trainee

You make great videos man, I just find it funny how different agencies are from each other as well as the people within those agencies. I’ve worked in EMS for almost 10 years in a very busy system in central California. We wear T-shirts in the summer and sweat shirts in the winter, and carry as little as possible for the most part. We definitely have a comfort > everything mentality haha. Me personally, I use a radio strap that has a shear holder on the radio bucket, and I also keep a flashlight and pen on the strap as well. I, of course, always have my phone and wallet on me as well as a sharpie, but thats really it. I guess keys too for the rig, but other than that I can’t really think of anything. On calls, I print a strip of monitor paper and write everything on the back of it. We transmit vitals via cloud, and we don’t have name badges or class B’s. Very different from what you guys do it seems like, pretty interesting. Keep up the good work!

Looking at what LEOs, soldiers, construction workers carry, its all a version of soldiering. Uniform, LBE, PPE. The ones making fun of a bat-belt-wearing medic are usually the ones who are just too cool to carry anything with them. On scenes, they wanna borrow stuff from the guy who isn't just too cool. I retired from a busy service where it wasn't practical to strip down to go to sleep. So I had a belt with radio and a few other things, pull-on boots (steel toe, waterproof and EH rated). I could usually beat younger guys to the rig. The thing that kills us most frequently at work is vehicular crashes. We should be using seat belts in the back, and wearing a helmet. We need multi-purpose PPE. Like a helmet that provides reasonable crash and ballistic protection, but doesn't look like a combat helmet. FR rated uniforms with high visibility features. Ballistic vests that look more like a traffic vest. If we pack heat at work, and I do, it should be concealed. As far as EDC, every medic should have a light source, cutting tool, comms, one set of PPE (gloves, mask) and a quick reference source be it cards behind your ID badge, a pocket guide, etc. And a goddamn pen and something to write on! I work at a slower, kinder and gentler semi-rural service now, across a bay from an island city with a large level one teaching hospital. Some of my crews are just too cool to carry stuff with them. When they want something of mine, I tell them to walk their happy and/or unhappy ass back to their rig and get it.

Greetings, Mister Prepmedic...please correct me if I am wrong; did you recently do a product review on the Guardian Angel light system? For some reason I thought you had however; I can't find it if you did.

Do you carry some type of medication dose notes? Im a Paramedic in Germany and the most of us carry these, especially for children.

I have never been able to find a setting to make my apple watch stay on for as long as my wrist is up... can someone please tell me where it is 😂 and google wasn’t able to tell me. I have to turn off the screen then tap it on to make it stay on for 70 seconds (weirdly precise Apple) heh

You really wear concealable soft armor? No hate that’s just surprising. Do you run in a super bad response area?

Are you still in Colorado? I am in Paramedic school now and the PLAN is to move to CO (Where I spent my childhood). to run EMS. The HOPE is South Metro Denver.

Do you have any hands free flashlight recommendations that can clip onto shirts? I work as a fire medic in Florida and we primarily wear shirts.

H2R Nova. It's nice and small but has moon light settings up to blind you spotlight. Believe it's 1800 lumens. It's a side facing light so it can be used in hand or clipped to a shirt, also comes with a decent head strap, easy to charge ad its magnetic charging. I love it, I work in the country so I can use it to spot houses but dims down to use to read
