  2. After you’re repacked it the next time, how about posting a follow-up article showing an inventory of your pack
    There are many lists out there, but with your experience and “intended use”, that list would be very helpful

  3. Back in the olden days we had our M3 and M5 bags. M5 held the medications, peroxide, IV stuff, suture equipment and extra dressings. M3 was the tri-fold shoulder bag that went with the medic to the wounded.

    Before I left the army I picked up an EMT certificate and got a job as same with an ambulance outfit in my home town. I sort of liberated an old M3 bag that was lying around the hospital I worked in when I left. I kept it in my van along with most of the tools I owned. To make a long story short the van was broken into and the tools and bag stolen. I was insured by the good hands folks.

    They denied covering the bag as they considered it tools of the trade and were going to give me reduced value on the tools as they were “used”. I looked at the agent and said the ambulance has it’s own equipment. That bag was what I carried in case I came upon you bleeding out on the side of the road. Then I told them every tool was by Craftsman (owned at the time by the same outfit that owned the good hands people), and that Dad always told me that Craftsman tools never lose their value cause if they break you take it back and they give you a brand new one. They paid full value.

    Glad to see that the opened up combat medic to the ladies. Back in the day they could only work in hospitals. Tell your daughter thanks for her service from me.

  5. Yes let’s see your list of medical tool and medication, etc?
    I would rather see great list the bags contents
    You need to over lap for many situations.
    Thanks
    Mike

  6. Pat I do realize you did give a short list but since you have extensive experience
    how about you giving a list of recommendations? be a good artical.
    Thanks
    Mike

  7. Pat a list would be helpful- I have been medic since 1977 wow used many tackle boxes (747 if I remember) in KY and Ohio the squad I worked on in Ohio still uses the boxes and they break several…also used several dynamed boxes too. I was in a reserve unit for 24 yrs and bought several bags myself so I’d have several options 1-IV, 1-trauma, 1-airway, 1-drugs and yes usually had to carry several bags and may have the wrong one they were color coded so anyone could bring them to me. when I trained in ky they required approx 3,000 hrs where Ohio only required 100 but DOT changed that. KY had state boards but not ohio and now everyone has them..

  8. At the time I posted this – 4 “a list would be helpful” posts.

    Make this 5.

    My suggestion, List, pictures etc. I for one will not argue the why or where you place them. I may have follow questions but the would be asking more behind info behind the why.

  9. This is a product I read about in Nov/Dec 2018 Concealed Carry magazine, page 112. ZipStitch wound closure kits. I ordered 4, and they look like a quality product. I have not tested it. https://zipstitch.us/
    I used steri-strips for years, hoping to use this instead of sutures in the field.

    Doesn’t look like the pictures came through.
    Obviously a medic’s kit, a lot of RX drugs in this kit.

  12. Pat-
    I’m not sure where your daughter was stationed or why her unit didn’t have the bags already.
    I went through my 91W course in Dec 2004 and was awarded the STOMP bag for being Jomor Grad. When I hit the ground in Iraq a month later the bags were standard issue. I left the Oregon Atmy National Guard in 2009 and the bags were being replaced by STOMP II.
    I suspect your daughter had not received the bag because they were already being phased out for London Bridge products and some other competitors.
    My only complaint (and caution) about the Blackhawk bags is the zippers will deteriorate and in fact crumble if they are lubed with anything other than beeswax. Blackhawk will not replace the zipper or the bag even though the metal zipper pulls suck.
    Still, I have three STOMP and II bags full and ready to (barter).
