Thanks a lot for this review ! So happy to see my work between your hands 🙏💪🤙

Hi Northman, does your website come in an English form?

[@PrepMedic]

There is a button at the top that lets to switch it to english

[@charleschristianson2730]

My left cargo pocket is 100% dedicated to medical, and has been for years. I sew individual dividers into it for each of the items so they lay flat and don't bang around in the bottom of the pocket. It's also a good idea to carry an epi-pen and a few Benadryl if you have severe allergies like me. I prefer the Adrenaclick style since they're smaller than the others and also come with a water-resistant case.

[@combatmidwife]

As always great video. Thank you for mentioning the real-life factor. The kit has to work for YOU.

[@flyboy8752]

I have the NAR ankle kit but didn’t use it much because of its bulkiness but then got the Dark Angel ankle kit (with slim folded SOF-T) from your prior recommendation (plus added a pair of trauma shears) and LOVE IT!!! Also got the LTC wallet-type one (also from your prior rec), but it’s a bit bulkier than I prefer in my cargo shorts (usually just carry a CAT using the military fold method with red tab peeking out up top (that I’m also pretty sure I saw here too 😉). Keep up the great recommendations!

Man your content is great I really hope your channel grows and that you can keep up this amazing important content About to start emt course soon

I started carrying a TQ in my holster which made it much easier to conceal IFAK supplies, ankle or pocket.

[@leslieunderwood3520]

Thanks for the informed comparison.

[@eddyflo2978]

Sage advice as well. Thanks Sam

[@ACTUALLYRICH]

I’ve kept one in my car since 2012 along with a “hunting” fully loaded first aid kit complete with a grizzly bear trauma section

[@eugenesimoneau7225]

I use MMK and the Fantome for several months and these are the best EDC medical pouch I have been able to test. Thx for the review !

[@northmanresilience]

Thanks a lot man 🙏🙏

[@harrymallory7963]

Well, this was timely. I recently purchased an ankle ifak and am looking to build one for my jacket.

[@unavoidableart]

Thank you so much for featuring something from Europe, as getting products from outside Europe is a hassle and financial pain.

[@matthewrichardson666]

Ordered the Mini Medi Kit after seeing this. Looking forward to prep in the U.K.

[@proforce1497]

I really want to find a pocket sized trauma kit that's convenient for me

[@jayberrymiller1146]

Check out the LT Creed Pocket Trauma Kit, as it will fit a pair of the compact size Hyfin Chest Seals

[@NoOne-qs8tv]

I carry the LTC pocket kit and the tourniquet on a "holster" in my belt. That way it fits fine.

[@mattconklin4026]

Great content! Keep it coming 🤙🏼🇺🇲😎

[@I_Am_Not_That_Guy]

I carry my medical in a Ryker Nylon Gear AFAK. An awesome design that was based off of the premise of always having chest seals on you. The chest seal pouch is on the inside and horizontal.

[@JohnHolliday1911]

I'll agree on the Ryker

[@I_Am_Not_That_Guy]

@@JohnHolliday1911 yep! I’ve been into guns, knives and tools my whole adult life. Not so much medical until the last couple of years or so. The Ryker ankle kit is by far my favorite piece of gear. Funny how priorities change as we age.

[@JohnHolliday1911]

@@I_Am_Not_That_Guy Very true! Trying to get the word out on having medical gear on you, this channel has a ton of reach, hopefully folks pay attention.

[@JohnHolliday1911]

Great review! I think I started a trend! Lol I did a review on mine a week ago, now all of the cool kids are doing them! Well done! Love your videos! Your channel helped push me to start my own.

[@DiabloOutdoors]

That could be good for anyone working in the woods or Bushcrafting

[@felix3049]

Thanks!

[@86aidan31]

You can tip in the comments?! I never knew that!

[@an1703]

As French civilian, I undestand his choices of design for not including enough space for a chest seal. Chest trauma is really really rare on m'y country, and as first aid responder for work (SST) we don't even formed to act with that type of injures.

[@Cetok01]

Good video. I carry a Rescue Essentials ankle kit when I go into the city and to church, with a SOF-T, 2 chest seals, a 4" trauma dressing, a pre-lubed airway, a Sharpie and 2 pr. rubber gloves. I'm curious about the elastic wallet: is the gripping loop durable enough to thread the opposite end of the wallet through it and secure that end with velcro (which may need to be sewn on)? If so, could it double as a pressure bandage by turning the back face against the limb? I also assembled several identical trauma kits for our church, and gave a crash course on how to use it for those who attended the session. I've provided a D - O2 cylinder with a BVM as well. The difficult part, in our small congregation, is getting people interested enough to come and pay attention, let alone practice the skills.

[@evenhello5137]

Hey @Prepmedic you should review the FieldCraft Survival medical kits

[@nickh2182]

I just keep 2 feet of quick clot, a bandana and a pair of nitrile gloves. If you can improvise you can carry less gear on person. Granted I keep a full trauma kit in my truck and am a trained and active boo boo truck medic.

[@brianmayfield5697]

@PrepMedic, be curious on your review/reaction to the youtube video "I tried paramedic academy". Wondering if all training is like this in Colorado.

[@Jhonkres]

I live in Brazil and here we are lack of good quality medical kits for EDC...i try to make my own pouchs but sometimes i failled...make a promotional ship to Brazil :D

[@northmanresilience]

We ship to Brazil here 🙏🤙

[@melanierapp537]

Hey u could probably use the elastic holder as a tourniquet

[@northmanresilience]

Yes, and there is also a tourniquet holder, with hook and loop, that you can use on two different position. You can purchase it on the website

[@tylerharrison9125]

Any suggestions for a good everyday carry for a backpack?

[@katsugi183]

Handy ❤️

[@Bursar60]

Any other suggestions for a duty belt type pouch. Ideally like a rip away you can have in small of back since I'm already full up front.

[@IntenseSpirit]

I like the refuge medical kits. They mount in a flap pouch but there's another pouch inside with a grab handle so you can pull the whole kit out quickly.

[@caioagarie6742]

What chest seals do you recommend?

[@proforce1497]

Guys can you just put a swat tourniquet some gauze, chest seals, wipes, pads in a zip lock bag and carry it because it's more slim? Or will the contents get damaged really quick?

[@williampearson9772]

Did this for years at work in my cargo pocket, works great......just change the bag every once in a while when it wears out. And use freezer grade bags, bit thicker.

[@andrejgyergyek9000]

What is the zipped hoodie he’s wearing?

[@Dusther210]

Could you share ideas for women, especially when wearing a dress/ skirt an ankle or pocket kit is not really an option

I’m interested in medical field, what medical field,study, specialty type of medical worker be the most useful in permanent Shtf wilderness Survival?.

[@aninjawaffle98]

Er trauma doc but next best thing depending on your state is critical care paramedic with experience

[@fbibking3205]

@@aninjawaffle98 thank you so much I been looking for a field that serve a lot of practical function in permanent shtf wilderness/survival.

[@hillbilly24]

Do paramedic then bridge program to nursing. Or nursing and bridge to medic. Then you are pretty well rounded and can work anywhere. Ive found medic to be more useful in regular life. Ive came up on several wrecks and my ems experience has helped a lot. Most nurses from my experience dont operate in the field well and I mean who can blame them its not in there realm of operation

[@jayberrymiller1146]

Check and see if your local area has a Stop The Bleed class. Start with that and the basic American Heart Association CPR/AED/First Aid combo class that most hospital for fire departments host. After that, look into becoming an Emergency Medical Responder or Emergency Medical Technician depending on your schedule and budget. Another good option is a good Wilderness First Responder certification class. Randall’s Adventure Training and NOLS both put on a solid program from what I hear. Those will all be much more available and affordable than becoming a full on paramedic or trauma surgeon as suggested by others above.

[@P4GES1]

Bro, are you wearing speedcross 5's there? do you think they are worth the money?

[@JohnKlosner]

I have the 4s and love them. They run narrow and I find them uncomfortable for general walking speed. Running is great though.

[@kierseq5696]

Okay, but where can I buy your jacket?

[@PrepMedic]

Vertx. Prepmed gets you 20% off

[@josephsantos7047]

Second!

[@dylankissel3301]

Nice beard!

[@TacticalOwl7]

Not a fan of ankle trauma kits. As a first responder I’ve seen lots of legs get blown off. Rendering an angle trauma kit worthless. Plus they can prevent a person from running as fast, or if in a crushed vehicle could impede escape. Just a thought.

[@kyhustler9]

how much in usa

[@northmanresilience]

Will depend of the weight but I ship to the us for 10/15$

I understand he’s a prepper medic but sometimes it might be nice to see pocket sized “boo-boo” kits. I’m much more likely to find someone with a cut then a gaping chest wound, even here in the good us of a

What kills me is I see all these tacticool kits and I know folks have got to be buying them but anytime anything happens no one has anything on them but me. It’s gets old. I can’t fix a multiple car wreck with just one kit guys. You might be in Kroger next time. Carry the dang kit. Carry an upgraded one in the vehicle. Be actually willing to use it and help.

[@boofoozu]

bro the amount of people that buy these kits are not high. that's an obvious reason people don't have them when things happen that require them... do you expect everyone to have one?

On my ankle every day with a kit in both me and my wife’s cars. Still looking to add more. I’m not saying it can’t be done but I’m not interested in having to improvise when lives are on the line.

[@uwesca6263]

In germany for example you need to have an emergency kit in your car and in order to get a driving license you have to visit a medic course. It still surprise me that other countrys dont have that as a rule too.
