What do you carry? - The mega thread

[Milla3P]

narc keys, .

No Knox Box style key vault?

I don't know if I'm a mess or if I don't care or what... I carry a Pedi Wheel (quick, it's 2AM and you need to give a 3 year old adenosine) and a pen light.

 

[Clare]

Belt: Portable radio, drug pouch (fentanyl and morphine) and a holster with shears and a couple clamps

On person: Vehicle keys and immobiliser (if driving), stethoscope. a couple pens, phone, pocket version of CPG and watch.

Depends if I'm going rural or not.

If I'm working in a civilian tent, I bring a carabiner or two (steel ones, not aluminum) to hang my pack and jacket off the ground using tent's rigging or etc. From now on, I will also bring some braided nylon cord as well, either net twine or parachute cord, to help secure the tent.

When I worked ambulance: shears, good penlight, swiss army knife, wallet, pad and pen.

Guard field support: my aid kit by my side at all times, the above plus small Visegrips (name brand with wire cutter), bigger flashlight and red filter, and food in my leg pockets. And water & a MCU2/P mask/MOPP4 kit.

I've owned three combo tools now and I don't find them good enough.

Iphone, 1 partially eaten snickers bar, 1 stick of juicy fruit, and 2 quarters.

Why would you pack around steel carabiners, a aluminum one is still good for 24KN?

 

[mycrofft]

I think a good pretty aluminum one costs way more than the $3 for a big steel one no one would steal. And I've straightened cheap aluminum ones with the loads I've hung on them at times.

 

[Chief Complaint]

In addition to aid bags on every call, i carry a small bag to keep my personal supplies in.

In it:

Stethoscope
Hearing Protection
Eye Protection
A few N95 masks
Spare gloves
Pen light

[Tigger]

On the ambulance:
Small folder, pens, pair of gloves, penlight, iPhone, wallet, hospital and company IDs, and watch. Shears and stethoscope if I remember to grab them out of the back.

At hockey games:
Small folder, iPhone, and this rather odd looking sling pack with wound care, tapes, PPE, shears, TK, and other odds and ends.

Anything else I've ever needed is provided by my employer and kept on the ambulance.

 

[ucapit]

What do you carry?

Does anyone use ems supplies and first aid medical supplies from vending machines? Do you think it helps maintain the inventory of what you carry?

 

[Action942Jackson]

Watch, iphone, Cigs/lighter, wallet, hat/sunglasses, radio w/lapel mic, work ID badge and my S&W pocket knife.

Off duty nothing but my birthday suit! Lol. Wallet, cell phone, knife, and cigs.

 

[CMHills]

I prefer to carry a backboard, spider straps, and a D-tank in my left anterior superior cargo system.

I've also sewn red. white, and amber flashers onto the shoulders of all of my shirts, off and on duty. Can never be too careful.
