I wouldn’t recommend this kit it’s honestly a hot mess. 1. It looks heavy and cumbersome. What MyMedic does right is looking cool. The marketing is great. The organization, contents, and design… hot garbage. I have a kit half this size, looks cooler, and is more capable. Save your money.

Hey Sam, I don’t think people will be hiking this pack around too much. The target audience for sale would be groups like YMCA of the Rockies and other summer camps where they need to treat everything top to bottom and often times a lot of it. Anyway, I could be off, but that is the type of customer I could see buying a product like this.

@krystenme6841 4 ай бұрын

It would have been great, if they had made the internal compartment in different colours to differentiate the OBS from Medicine from Bleeding etc. Or a place where to write what is what. I found out that it is so helpful to have everything clearly indicated.

If I was to purchase something like this, I'd still have to go with Refuge Medical. They have a field bag for $400 cheaper with all the gear or the STOMP which is all that and a better quality backpack/equipment for $1700. My Medic looks dope, but they charge too much for what they offer. TY for taking time to put together this presentation/opinion. You still the man for not being a YT shill like others

It's really only missing a first aid book, and a eye injury treatment kit and a note book with pen/sharpie. As far as the neck braces go, I'd keep them, they kinda act like one of those E collars they put on your pet, it would keep the injured person from looking around or looking at themselves- seeing wrecked cars, dead things or your own missing leg would put someone into shock. As far as the layout, I would rearrange it for sure. I'd also get some tear away pouches to put on the outside- these would contain the life saving equipment

@vevenaneathna Ай бұрын

the pulse ox is the most impressive part of this kit from what ive learned from friends in ukraine, its almost impossible to listen for breath sounds and feel for pulse when there is gunfire. wish they would have included the OTC epinephrine inhaler (primitine mist), theyre like 30-45 bucks at pharmacies. also not advised but i carry the 20% benzocaine oragel glass tubes with my suture kit, along with an insulin and regular needle. it is incredibly difficult to suture correctly on someone who is not pain controlled. takes way longer. theoretically you can spray the inhaler on some open wounds and get some short term hemostasis for dermal capillary beds. not to mention over various benefits of having epi on hand like asthma/anaphyalxis. its a lot easier to swallow benadryl after youre given inhaled epi.

@thomascassidy1 4 ай бұрын

I just got one about a week ago using FSA money I was going to lose. When I got it I was very suprised with how much was in it and was pretty impressed. But I did have to reorganize the pack to make everything make sense to where everything is located. I also had to drastically lighten the load of how much of each item I carried in it. Being in first response I learned for me personally I like to keep my kit light cause having everything under the sun is useless if you can’t find it, know how to use it, or even if you can’t get it out of the pockets cause there’s so much crap in there. I’m keeping the extra stuff as a backfill incase I use anything but if your like me and you know what works for you, and know how to use the stuff in here then I think this can be great for a first responder to carry. I got the Medic Sidekick that I carry EDC and the Medic bag would be more for if there was a active shooter or casualty situation in my area, I just keep it at my house

@prepmedic can you expand on your comment about NOT reducing swelling with ice to a traumatic injury? I know it's more of a comfort intervention but I was unable to find anything that said to not treat the swelling. Good video, thanks!

@supercalafra 4 ай бұрын

It depends on the mechanism of injury and degree thereof. It was once thought to enhance recovery by limiting local inflammation, but upon retrospective analysis it has been found that it prolongs recovery time.

Hey Sam...have you had an opportunity to review/research the Refuge Medical products? They seem to be pretty handy for immediate management of care for non-certified, but situationally trained individuals. I was a corpsman and paramedic YEARS ago, so not up to date on proto or newer gear; however those products seem to be a nifty crafted and stocked walk/drive about readiness kit.

@riverrunner7 4 ай бұрын

What’s your opinion on products from rhino rescue? Not necessarily their tourniquets but some of their other gear like gauze and chest seals.

I'll be the one to say it, I want a head to head with My Medic vs Refuge's STOMP (new 2.5 is out), and/or The field medic. I have a gen 1 STOMP from them so I'm biased. From my more limited experience I would prefer Cat TQs followed by SOFt

RATS tourniquets will fork on small children and dogs. Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) last reviews product in 2020 I believe. RATS came out after that. I would keep them in the kit.

@PrepMedic Ай бұрын

RATS came out in 2015. They were a bad device then and a bad device now.

@Doc_Egan 5 ай бұрын

That's a good all purpose kit. Gotta ditch the RATS "tourniquet", burn treatment and peroxide though. I'm glad they added a real tourniquet with the SOFT. This kit really is designed for someone with professional training as a Medic or Corpsman. For civilian use it would be for a medically trained person who is going to be in an isolated location, adventure sports, 3rd world country operations, remote living or TEOTWAKI/WROL. I'm not a fan of how the bag opens and the pocket situation. The pockets limit your opions if you want to add or adjust what you cary. Most of the contents are similar to the Blackhawk Spec Ops main medical bag I use. Yes, my main bag is very heavy. It is not intended for patrols or hikes. It's really a truck bag that is a small Aid Station in a backpack. It's used when you are setting up a small base of operations before or if you don’t have access to an Aid Station. A lot of the care I have given in the field is Sick Call or minor wound care related. So this bag would have what you need. There are some additions or subtractions I would make based on my trading but overall not bad.

@davidblack9071 they absolutely shouldn’t be used by EMS. The guidance for EMS treatment of burns is absolutely no chemicals or wet dressings. Putting something like that on a patient pins is a great way to get screamed at by a burn doc.
