Though I have never tried Elbeco, I hear that they make a pretty good EMS pant. I personally only will buy two different brands, the first is Aspen Mills, they seem to be a heavier material, so they don't wear out as easily. Recently 5.11 began making an EMS pant too, I bought one and love them...

Yeah sorry, I meant IV Caths..... its early, and I am still waking up...

OK, I am in charge of the supply and equipment for my service. We are an ALS service. In our ALS jump bag, we carry 3 IV sets each set has 1 - 16 ga, 2 - 18 ga, 2 - 20 ga, and 2 - 22 ga. Inside our ALS drawer in the rig we have every size ranging from 14 ga to 24 ga. I have gotten into some...

In Iowa any "Emergency Motor Vehicle" can have Red/Blue/Clear/Amber, but the Blue must remain to the passenger side of the vehicle if it is on a LE/EMS unless the EMS vehicle is owned/operated by a fire department, confusing huh. As far as a POV, LE can have Red/Blue (mainly red), Fire is Blue...
