  • I would wright on each pouch or pocket what is inside it for quick Identification

  • *Insert Team Fortress 2 joke here*

  • Would like to point out and comment on placement of the items in the bag. I find it odd that his gloves are buried so deep in the bag, when his airway and bleeding control items are in the outer pocket.

    Also, many of the items that are in his bag need to come out of the packaging - in a trauma situation, rapid application is much more important than sterility.

    Godspeed!

  • This is the best medic bag review of YouTube. Great guys.

  • Why so many hemostats?

  • As a former Air Force Medic and now, PA-C whom loves the outdoors, I loved this...great tips with the new bags! Because everyone always looks to me when we are out hunting somewhere, I try to keep as UTD as possible! Thanks again for a great video!

  • So cool! I love these kits!

  • BEST. VIDEO. EVER. Loved the medic showing us the bag. Love his setup. I love the fact you gave him a multitool too. Very cool. Glad he showed us all this. Love your channel. This was a truly awesome video.

  • @Zachman1124 - Thank you. Tony is a great guy and I pray he is always safe. I am sure he will appreciate these comments.

  • great video. what does the pack weigh with all of those contents?

  • To anyone in the market for an Aid Bag: This is an outstanding piece of equipment. It can fit and hold everything you need at a 68W or a CLS Soldier to treat and sustain combat casualties until MEDEVAC/CASEVAC etc. Spend the extra dime on it, it'll last you a long time. If you don't know what you're doing medically though, just stick with a MOLLE pouch of basic first-aid gear.

  • if i was in the army id be protecting these guy as much as possible! angels on the field!

  • @OxiaEMan - not sure of that nomenclature or classification system . . . will leave this up to Sgt Acuna.

  • I use almost the same bag made from voodoo tactical LOVE the set up and works great. Thanks for the vid. And so true medics love bags!

  • Hello. A very informative video. Thank you.

    What is the copper looking surgical instrument in the center of Sgt. Acuna's field suture kit? It looks like some type of probe. Just curious. Thanks.

  • Awesome bag review!! 

  • The set up is a bit all over the place. Did not know london bridge manufactured pretty much a replica of the STOMP 2. I prefer SOTECH, yet they are mostly for sustained operations. Decent post.

  • Im going to buy a STOMP2 bag soon im so excited, i found one for a good price :)

    no more 2 week back pack & falling apart x)

  • This is one tough MedBag - in fact the best I ever used! Although some guys complaining about the semi-modularity but you can simply rig it up for TFC & TACEVAC if go by TCCC Guidelines. Also you can fit in ALS Gear in it that covers the whole range of initial trauma management.

    Hard to get it on the market but if you have the chance I´d recommend to buy it!

  • Sgt. Acuna looks like he's a hell of a man. He's exactly the type of guy I'd want keeping me alive.

  • Loved this bag, used it in Baghdad in 04 - 05

    though we standardized our bags so any medic could expect to find the same thing in the same compartment every time - and its good that his year starts when they mobilize - didn't used to do it that way at all

  • Hey Doc, I have been accumulating medical supplies, and attending classes in Mexico with the Red Cross. I have been setting up my Backpack with 2 500ml. of saline, Is that the best recomendation, to get an IV started? Generally speaking, to get a vein while there is time before things complicate? I know there is a great array of fluids, but for field trama, what do you recomend? I know that after EMT arrive, or DRS have patient, they most likely will have access to every type of fluids.

  • What knife did you give him?

  • @liveinthebozone - Leatherman Stainless Skeltool. I think he will put it to good use!

  • @USNERDOC I choked up a bit when you gave him the gift. Great video.

  • Excellent.

  • Total Class Act USNERDOC!

  • Doc, that was a great video, and ...a nice move at the end there with your leatherman! Sgt Acuna and yourself are GOOD MEN! Thank God for men such as yourselves being in your positions! God bless and keep the Sarge safe, as well as all our troops!

  • I am surprised only carrying 500 cc bags of fluid and only 18 ga IV caths still a good kit but for traumatic blood loss surprised just an observation not a slam

  • I feel bad for being picky and all, but I do remember hearing in this vid about how you always wear gloves. I know it was just practice, but I'm just trying to point out the importance of consistency in our medical habits. What do you think?

  • @sabr686 - no worries! We always use gloves and even made that comment in the video. Since we were using a Kleenex box and DuoDerm for a simulator we elected to forgo the gloves. For work on patients, always good prep, clean technique and gloves.

  • Previously, I watched Sgt. Acuna pracitce his suturing. However, I don't recall seeing any gloves on Sgt. Acuna during the procedure... I'm the last to criticize our Armed Services members in any regard; however, if realism and safety procedures are to be adhered to on a strict basis, I believe he should have donned them. I have found that when I have sewn, I've had the time to prep and put on a pair of gloves at least. Agreed?

    Not knocking, just being aware and trying to aid in excellence!

  • @sabr686 - no worries! We always use gloves and even made that comment in the video. Since we were using a Kleenex box and DuoDerm for a simulator we elected to forgo the gloves. For work on patients, always good prep, clean technique and gloves.

  • Doc, please pass on my blessings to Sgt. Acuna as he prepares to deploy! He'll certainly be in my thoughts. And a huge thank you to him for taking time to help you with this video, even though he's probably busy getting ready to leave.

  • Awesome stuff! I love videos like this.

  • Great video, Doc! And it was very touching of you to give him that gift at the end. I'm sure he was very appreciative, and will make good use of it. You rock!

  • Awesome

  • Very interesting. I really like how everything is organized in the bag with those double green straps. Hahaha Macyvor, I used to like watching that show with my dad.

  • wow after 17 yrs as an rn this is what i wanna be when i grow up

  • Awesome video DOC!

  • Goodluck to Sgt. Acuna and my salute to you Doc. You're a very good man. More Power...

  • I want Sgt. Acuna in my bug out bag! :-D

  • Great vid, Doc. We always relied heavily on or Corpsmen! No finer men! Thank you very much Sgt. Acuna. Be ready, and have your guys ready to hydrate! It is hotter than Hades down here near Shelby. You may get to use you IV sets! I wish you and your entire Batt best wishes, good luck & a safe return to your loved ones.

  • Awesome video, I really enjoyed it. It's always interesting to hear what kind of gear the Pro's are using. I always assumed you were a Navy man by your youtube name, but was never sure. I just enlisted in the Navy, unfortunately I have to wait almost a year until I leave for bootcamp. I ship out July 5,2011 and i will be a GSE. I'm really looking forward to it.

  • Why do the Black Hawk stomp and your bag look just like each other? The company who makes your make hit the market first? Then black hawk copied them? Looking at picking up the Stomp II it comes stocked so save money. Then I was told you add or remove what you want. Getting into the EMT field and plan on using this bag as my jump bag for my car.

  • nice bag. very enjoyable vid. Thanks guys !

  • Looks like we have a Duck fan!!!! Great review, thanks Doc. I sure remember how much we appreciated our Corpsmans, priceless.

  • Great information DOC, I bet you were in bag heaven! Thanks also to Sgt. Acuna for taking us through a well prepared medic bag.

  • Thanks for the great review, keep up the good work!

  • @CanadianLinc - Sir, thank you for your service to your county!

  • Awesome! Thanks for sharing, Doc. Definitely looking forward to the suturing video. I've got line and needle as part of my Level 1 kit, but I'd be hard-pressed to use it correctly.

  • Great Video! Thank you for your service SGT. Acuna! God Bless you on deployment! Thanks Doc for the vid!

  • Doc, You ARE the real deal. Keep it up. You ROCK!!

  • @Albee4ty5 - Thank you . . . that is much appreciated!

  • what about for the chest seal if the person is hairy, how would it make a good seal?

  • @kurlis - options are (1) quick hair removal with medical tape / duct tape or (2) quick razor . . . I would go with option 1 which is the simplest approach. I sure other suggestions will roll in at some point ;-)

  • @USNERDOC Hair removal with medical tape? ouch! I guess it is better then being dead though, lol. I am a very hairy fellow, so that is good information for me. I guess I would not notice that pain to much if I already have a hole in my chest anyway, lol.

  • @Jesses001 - I think a chest injury would be sufficient distraction that you would not be aware of, or care about, hair removal . . . my sincere hope is that this is strictly an academic conversation. May you always be safe! Thanks for watching.

  • @USNERDOC Lol, yes. Something about a gaping hole in your chest seems a bit of a distraction.

  • Hey DOC you rock.. they don't come much better than you.. Your and Inspiration to all of us on youtube.. Thanks for the kind heart, the hard work, your service to are country, and your dedication to those in medical needs.. And still finding time for Family and Friends.. Stay true.. Love your Vids Keep them coming Sir .

  • @chaddy21waddy - Back at you my friend . . . thank you for your service!

    I appreciate the input and support.

  • Great video buddy!

  • Not on topic but I just went to Oregon for vacation. I fell in love, great people and a wonderful state. Thank you for your service guys and thanks for taking time to educate us.

  • Wow Doc, thanks for having the sergeant show his setup. God bless all of our troops.

  • my only issue with either of these bags is that average joes don't have the 334 or 450 to drop on a bag...any suggestions on a good or at least decent bag for the guy not able to spend that kind of cash?

  • @ayres390 What about that Blackhawk medic roll bag that nutnfancy uses? It's very reasonable cost, and spoken highly of by Doc as well as wranglerbarn. Also I think nutnfancy discusses alternative bags in partt 1 of his Level 2 First Aid Kit series.

  • @duragezic that is the bag i bought...actually i bought 2...and like them very much...they are not perfect, but are great..

  • @ayres390 -I've got two of these bags off e-bay for less than $120. Keep looking. There are good deals.

  • @steve30f11 Which is better? London Bridge or Blackhawk Stomp? They kinda look the same

  • the gift shows much respect towards the Sgt.

  • I think I will stick with the Blackhawk that Doc suggested and uses.

  • very nice video

  • Wow. What the heck is all that stuff? Amazing. My husband works at a hospital, I am going to tell him to see this and share it at work. Very over my head but fascinating.

    MASH 2010!

  • Very kind of you Doc, giving your multitool to a fellow Medical Officer! And doesn't he carry a neck splint, like a stiffneck? Very cool doc! -Nax

  • @NaxTactical

    The SAM splints talked about in the video make excellent neck collars/neck braces.

  • @Ech0Sierra I guess they would, thanks for replying! -Nax

  • uhhm uuhmmm uhhm all the time, he looks a little nervous ? but still a super great review, really enjoyed !

  • Kit looks awesome, but the flashlight needs to be changed.

  • @Mrcaffinebean - after my recent indoctrination to the world of flashlights, I had a similar thought! I will have to see what we can scrounge up for Sgt Acuna . . .

  • @USNERDOC A headlamp would be super nice too, for anything that needs two hands.

  • @Mrcaffinebean - I agree. A headlamp and a good flashlight with CREE LED technology.

  • @USNERDOC that was awsome u gave him that multitool... thats an awsome gift and he needed one... your a good person... when u gonna start selling kits?

  • @USNERDOC LD10 from Fenix. Great light.

  • @ketel1 - Roger that . . . I will see what I can come up with ;-)

  • @USNERDOC Yeah maybe suggest to him the LD10 or similar FourSevens light, as well as the Fenix headband. That way he has a good light that can be turned into a handsfree as well.

  • Cool video man! Thanks for sharing Doc.

    Thumbs up!

  • USNERDOC, Yet another great video you have. As a aspiring Paramedic it's nice to see what other medics carry as a loadout and every medic is different. Some might carry Lidocaine, Some might not. Great Insight on some stuff and it really touched me when you gave him your Multi-tool at the end.

  • one word...HEAVY!

  • @geetarbube when its saving your ass it wont be so heavy

  • how much does the bag and all the gear weigh all together?

  • my grandmother was military police at f-16 air force base in south carolina....1920s

  • as a medic do u wear surgical gloves when es in when your on a mission just in case some one gets shot or do you put the gloves on when needed?

  • @themedicintraining put on when needed...otherwise your hands can become fatigued if the gloves are a snug fit & THEY WILL SWEAT...A LOT!

  • @themedicintraining - he wears gloves when needed.

  • Tony - be safe and god speed, we will keep you in our thoughts and prays, Thank YOU

  • Very cool gesture at the end there doc.

  • Very nice video!

  • the blackhawk stomp2 is identical"who copied who??".....and less expensive

  • Doc, please pass along the following:

    Mr. Acuna, Thank you for your dedication and service, and for sharing your bag with all of us USNERDOC viewers. Good luck and God speed, in your upcoming deployment.

  • what a well layed out bag

    Very informative on some products i wasn't aware of

    Doc much Thanks for Sharing with us !

  • Send my thanks to Sgt. Tony for his service! It was really nice of you to give him your Leatherman! Stand-up dude that USNERDOC!!!!

    Excellent video Doc!

  • Comment removed

  • Doc, I'm sure you recommend that everyone take some sort of CPR and First Aid Course to have some skills but what do you think about St. Johns Ambulance EMT courses or other EMT training? Is it better than a basic first aid course? Are the skills worth the $300 price tag?

  • Great bag I use one as a SWAT medic.....Thanks

    Where is the little roll of Duct Tape

  • My apology for not mentioning the Army National Guard, God bless them all

  • Another stellar video, thanks for sharing.

  • God bless the Corpsman,, Medic,,,, USN USMC US Army US Air Force

  • awsum vid usnerdoc, keep up the good work.

    kind regards

  • thank you for sharing, you are a good man

  • Nice video USNERDOC, always good to see others in the same area and what they carry... sounds like you have a little cold DOC.

  • @FightDiary - you are very perceptive! I am just recovering from a bronchitis that really knocked me down for a bit. Thanks!

  • @USNERDOC Oh sorry to hear that... get well soon my friend.

  • DOC I can see giving him your skeletool meant alot to him. That was a great gesture. I thought that was just awesome! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE DOC AND ANYONE ELSE WHO SERVES AND SEES THIS

  • Excellent info! Great vid! Thanks for sharing!

  • hey doc, thanks for your videos. i got into a car accident the day before yesterday (some stupid lady hit me, no one was very seriously injured, thank GOD!) and i was able to wrap up my bro's arm because i had a level one first aid kit in my backpack. so thanks to you and nutnfancy for both inspiring me to carry a first aid kit, and making sure i had what i needed. peace bro.

  • well done!

  • Great video

  • Great video as usual. I always believe that people who use their gear everyday are always our best resource. I'm getting ready to order the KytoStat bandages but can only find the in 1x4s, is this typical? In the power point I saw what looked like 2x2 squares. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  • DOC I have also become a bag man, vids like this have shown me the need be prepared

  • Doc, Please tell Acuna to be safe over there!!. God Bless him and his unit. Will keep them in my prayers. BAck to the bag. LOvE IT! That is a serious load out bag that I could use...LOL. Be safe out there guys.

  • Great Video once again DOC!!!!

  • Doc, Tony, Great video Guys.

    I

  • Very nice bag, and soo much good info, thanks for posting this one!!

  • Another great video Doc!!! I always find it interesting to see how people set up their gear bags, whether it be Med Bags, BOB's, USK's, Camera Bags, etc. I'd like to thank you, Sgt. Acuna, and all those serving this wonderful country! Stay safe and stay strong!

  • great vid doc,

    thxs

  • Doc, list the price next time. This bag lists for a whopping $431.97 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @mrmonkeyman50 I bought my STOMP II for $5 plus shipping on ebay.

  • @mrmonkeyman50 - I wasn't making a recommendation on purchasing the bag . . . just sharing my friends medic bag. I am a "bag guy" as you know so I was eyeing it closely. ;-)

  • @mrmonkeyman50 Still fun to drool over great bags. Hehehe. I love bags with lots of organization.

  • Hey Doc, another great, informative review... =) That was also a very kind gesture at the end of the video, glad to see that in this day and age... Stay safe!!!

  • I have been putting a kit together for about a year now, great bag but way out of my price range!

  • @bajnaj73 - My price range as well . . . still a cool bag though!

  • YAY, Doc! Way to get back to your roots. This is what you do best. THANKS!!!!

  • Great Video USNERDOC,

    What kind of multi-tool did you give him in the end?

  • @101goodenergy101 - My Leatherman Skeltool . . . I think he will put it to good use! ;-)

  • Great Video USNERDOC,

    What kind of multi-tool did you give him in the end?

  • any opinions on quick clot type products?

  • totally rocked that same bag during 3 tours in iraq as a medic. this last tour i had the same bag, but made by blackhawk, if you can find the london bridge model out there i liked that model better. just seemed better made than the blackhawk one. (zippers broke on me)

  • nice review doc

  • i need to see your BOK.

  • man that is one kick but bag

  • WOW! FANTASTIC! -- So the good Doctor is tracking delivery on his new bag...and thinking about how organized it's going to be with all of his vacuumed sealed kits! ---- We will be waiting for the grand tour review sir! ;^D

  • Thanks for this video USNERDOC!

  • Comment removed

  • Way Kool Vid, Doc! Thanks for posting. Navy Corpsman are a Marines best friend, Oorah! FYI, Each soldier has a pouch called an I-FAK(Individual FirstAid Kit).

  • Comment removed

  • Good stuff. I remember my CLS days = BTDT = good info for sure.

    Thanks Doc for posting, clicking on some money love for ya.

    :)

  • USNERDOC is very clearly a proper and well respected officer in the U.S. Military. That is very apparent to me by his true thoughtfulness and care of his subordinates. Both of these gentlemen were proud to call him "sir" and the gift of a worthy tool "skeletool" is a stand-up gesture. (All coming from a former enlisted troop that will be commissioned in February) Thank you USNERDOC!

  • @TheOperator150 - Thank you . . . Congratulations on your upcoming commission!

  • Awesome Vid, Doc! And I see it as nice little tribute to 1 of our patriots in uniform. thank you for sharing. keep up the hard work its much appreciated.

  • God bless medics. One saved my Granddad's life in WW2.

  • Thanks DOC, Very interesting vid.

  • thankyou for getting us all this info and taking the time. your page means alot to me.

  • Great vid doc!! 

  • awesome stuff, thanks man

  • Cool Vid Doc!!

    Thumbs Up and some Money Love my Friend!!

  • @VoodooPolitics1 - How you saw this BEFORE it was public is beyond me . . . only MBV could do that! ;-)

  • @VoodooPolitics1 MO MONEY!!
