Bvm and CPR mask combo holster. If you use separate ones it takes up too much valuable space.

I like to have a second belt wrapped around my first belt for enhanced stability.

Usually my secondary radio is in it's case on my right hip.

My primary radio sits with my other equipment on my left hip.
This other equipment includes (but not limited to)
-Window Punchers
-Add on stethoscope clip w/ Scope
-Pen Light
-IV
-Trauma Shears
-Swiss army knife
-Flashlight

I keep my phone holder behind my secondary radio and it is always equipped with the AliveCor heart monitor attachment.

Finally I like to keep my fanny pack on the anterior segment of the second belt. This is usually stocked w/ varying trauma supplies such as gauze, kling, burn kits and a second pare of trauma shears.

Shears and a 10ml syringe for valsalvas that's it.

Bloody hell, some of you sound like Batman :D

The most I will carry is the portable radio and pager along with a holster with shears, pupil torch and a couple clamps in it.

Some people carry tons of junk, radios, pagers, holsters, drug pouch, torches and all sorts, I don't see the point to be honest.

A map to show the (mostly) non emergent patients which route they can drive to get to the hospital with their self-inflicted and or preventable complications of chronic disease. :rofl:

I laughed very hard! :D

Hopefully our new thing will prevent actual ambulances from being sent to these people so more time can be spent at the station watching telly and you know, going to sick people who actually need Paramedics.

My pants have a hard time staying up as it is. I don't need anything else weighing them down.

I just wear a leather belt, nothing else. At one agency I carried my Narcs inside an old SPO2 velcro case I rigged to the belt. We had no where to lock them up and I did not trust anyone enough to leave them unlocked, so I kept them on my person.
