What's in my 24 Hr. SAR Pack?

[@juanmckelvey]

I heard something interesting years ago and I've always followed that rule. if you are ever going to use a load-bearing carabiner make sure every carabiner you carry is load-bearing.you never can tell when you're going to be in a rescue situation that turns complex and you use far more carabiners than you originally thought you'd need.

[@ephraimnowak]

That's a great suggestion, especially if you're working in the dark, or need to have someone else fetch your gear. Everything is just so much simpler if they're all load-bearing.

[@Kalendale]

Great tip. Will file for later.

5:30 Some guys are watch guys, knife guys, flashlight guys....this guy is a glove guy. 🤣

Very well thought out & organized. I appreciate your service to your community!

[@petergarcia8225]

Always good to invest in equipment for emergency and survival packs...for the adventurous and the survivalist.

[@alimfuzzy]

Great gear

[@ryanmandau8823]

Looks good. I like your video. For the low weight I'dd toss a couple bics into a couple freezer bags. I carry flint and steel and stuff too, but it's hard to beat the simplicity and reliability of a bic lighter.

Nicely done. I just purchased the same pack. Can’t wait to use it.

[@derealovesurvival7549]

Good SAR load out thanks for sharing ATB

[@James-ke5sx]

Some really good tips. Gotta check that paracord storing technique, makes sense the color as well. Gonna add a reflective vest to my kit, good idea.

[@MichalBoguslawski]

Good educational video thanks

[@ephraimnowak]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chriscawdell271]

This is the bag that my SAR team uses as the basic first aid pack.

[@petergarcia8225]

Great tutorial video👍

[@matthewford6516]

pencil starter is a pro tip ;)

[@mikekollross8810]

Very well thought out I would challenge you that you don’t need that many pairs of gloves Elastic bands degrade over time. Look for silicone bands. Great video.

[@ephraimnowak]

Thank you for those tips!

[@brianbeer6202]

Thanks for the video! Very informative

[@leehart9055]

I just watched your video and I liked it. I do have a few questions....How come you donot carry any MRE type foods, Where is your flashlight and gerber style tool and good pocket knife? Thanks for th evideo and have a good day

[@ephraimnowak]

Thank you! I'm glad you found the video useful. I carry a Leatherman and SOG Seal Pup on my belt. My flashlight is typically attached to my chest radio harness.

[@CrimsonRaven51]

I would also carry a NVG monocular.

[@zachneace8544]

My guy likes caribeeners

[@zachneace8544]

I would add a Bic lighter and mre

[@sthiel126]

SAR tech senate anyone? I would like to learn...

[@ephraimnowak]

Excellent suggestion! That's a video I've been putting off for way too long.

[@wanderingcalamity360]

@@ephraimnowak Looking forward to it.

[@LostLoon]

No tourniquet..................

[@toebeans6568]

Was it maybe inside the small first aid kit? If not, I agree it's something he should have.

[@Kalendale]

@@toebeans6568 You only carry what your trained for. A SAR team will typically have that as part of their group gear carried by the team field medic.

[@toebeans6568]

@@Kalendale that makes total sense, I didn't think of that.

[@zombiesurvivalvlogs579]

how old are you

[@matthewford6516]

what chest rig do you use?

[@ephraimnowak]

I use a Coaxsher RCP-1 Pro Radio Chest Harness, and love it! It works extremely well for carrying the essentials in addition to a radio and GPS.

[@coldhardtruth8518]

flashlight?

[@ephraimnowak]

That's a good question! I keep a Petzl MYO headlamp and spare batteries in my pack, but also carry a Fenix PD35 on my helmet as well as a Fenix E20 in my radio chest harness.

[@coldhardtruth8518]

@@ephraimnowak i love headlamps but sometimes its easier to use a handheld flashlight. i use laser genetics nd-5 flashlight. it was built for sar too military specs and it shines 3 miles but it is very small. runs on 2 cr123a.

[@mwnciboo]

Take more first aid kit, and...A fire-arm. Wounded humans attract predators.

[@davem5159]

Can't legally carry a handgun in Canada, small shotgun or rifle maybe, but it's not a typical SAR tool

[@OzMan9989]

I’m guessing you need a better knife. Not sure about the one you showed but, as a knife guy, it doesn’t look legit. Get an esee or something.
