DIY Military Dog Tag Style MED ID Tag

[bob18robert]

you're a genius

[svh366]

really nice video, very well explained! btw, would you mind telling me the name of that watch you are wearing? it looks cool =)

[CallOfDutyBullets]

Wait, but if that chain breaks the choke, then why did u have the shield around the chain? Not the custom one, but the original one. U would choke to death.

[USNERDOC]

@CallOfDutyBullets - well actually not . . . I am a little smatter than that . . . the paracord shield is not contiguous and will easily break if needed. Of course, I no longer wear dog tags ;-)

[CallOfDutyBullets]

@USNERDOC Oh, ok thnx. Cuz I thought the shield was very strong I didnt expect for it to break. Well, OK thnx!

[USNERDOC]

@CallOfDutyBullets - the shield is very strong . . . it is the sheath from a length of para cord, however, it is ont a contiguous piece so if needed can break away without a problem.

[CallOfDutyBullets]

@USNERDOC Oh OK thank you :)

[xxBryanLeft4Deadxx]

@USNERDOC the beaded necklace how do you unclip it so you can take the dog tag of please reply

[joymanchis]

You went to military? Coooooool! XD

[campcomp00]

For the medical info tag..do ER doctors look for these?

[USNERDOC]

@campcomp00 - EMS look for anything helpful that can provide information from ID tags, bracelets, necklaces to wallet cards. Hope that helps!

[5600dave]

[SoldierK4]

[BluRxPwn]

Hey . What does the SECOND dog tag say?

[USNERDOC]

@PEDroLED1 - ? not sure what you are asking.

[PEDroLED1]

@USNERDO

Where do I get a dog tag?

[USNERDOC]

@PEDroLED1 - The dog tags in the video were my issue tags from the Navy. You can order similar mil spec dog tags from many online sources such as US Calvary. Hope that helps.

[glazuna]

can you please tell me accurate sequence of this things to put in dog tags,

I am doing myself a fighter pilot dog tag, but i don't know what is going on it

[likeshisshoes]

where did you get the clear stuff that's around your old navy dog tags?

[Petegrin1]

lol, i tried to do that and it took me 3hours with no brake XD

i live in gothenburg sweden so the neckles is waay thicker then that you have.

sry for my bad english

[Petegrin1]

How do you do a slipknot that fast?

[awsome5ful]

the navy tags are coooool!!! :)

[midnightsurvival]

That is a really great idea.

[1jump2many]

There are places like Ranger Joe's that will make dog tags. You can put whatever data you want on them as long as you use the same format that are on the standard military issue dog tags. I had a set made up and replaced my SSN with my cell phone #. I keep one on my keys in case I ever lose them and a good Samaritan would like to return them. But if they are found by someone that doesn't have good intentions they can't do a reverse look up with my Cell phone #.

[USNERDOC]

@1jump2many - great idea! Thanks for watching.

[kphifer1]

Hey Doc,

Our Den made the tags. I'm wearing mine now while on duty. I used the shorter chain for a whistle and recomended the same for my Scouts. This is the second idea we have used from your vids. We made the uograded pocket FAK. Looking forward to more ideas.

I have just about collected all the necessary supplies to make my hiking FAK's...Locsacs, med supplies and vacuum sealer. Should be fun.

Thanks for the vids.

Keith

[kphifer1]

Hey Doc,

I could really use the source of the tags that you use in this vid.

Thanks,

Keith

[USNERDOC]

@kphifer1 - I am so sorry for the delay responding . . . I'm in the middle of a long run of shifts. Seems all I do is sleep - work -sleep! I got the tags at Home Depot or Ace Hardware.

[USNERDOC]

@kphifer1 - the company is Hi-Ko. They make a couple of similar key tags. One like I showed in the video and one with a flip top that would work as well.

[kphifer1]

Hey Doc,

I just sent you an email. Don't know that it got through. I want to make these for my boys at our next Den meeting. I have everything secured except the key fob. Where can I get them?

Thanks.

[kphifer1]

BTW, I am putting on a camping/hiking equipment class (BALOO) for my Cub Scout leaders today. I have put together a list of suppliers/resources to handout and I included your channel.

[kphifer1]

Another great idea Doc. I think we'll do this project in my Cub Scout Bear den. We already put together a pocket FAK based on one of your bids. Thanks.

[rtn1911]

Good point. I should keep these IDs in several places. Like the technique for the clean burn on the 550. Thanks for doing this.

[usframe]

wow! what great stuff!

[hinckleypoland]

AWESOME!!

[ppspsd]

DOC,you are the first to show how to do this,AWESOME,as a independent operator we have been doing this same thing for years! Cool to see that someone else gets it! But you do what you do so figured that you would anyways! Another great vid! Thank you!!OUT!!

[biguy525]

Do you have a file for the wallet information?

[USNERDOC]

@biguy525 - just posted it on the sidebar notes. Sorry for the delay, I was up late and fell asleep during the upload!

[USNERDOC]

@biguy525 - I'm honored . . . thanks for the kind comments! Thank you for your service.

[USNERDOC]

@biguy525 - posted in the sidebar notes.

[biguy525]

Very slick way of getting the chain through the para cord. Nice job.

[USNERDOC]

@biguy525 - thank you . . . like most of you guys, I'm a fan of 550 cord. It has many, many uses!

[aaadream]

Cool idea. Should I tape the tag to make it waterproof? Like.......

[USNERDOC]

@aaadream - no, just use waterproof paper.

[Sir2Fiable]

Fantastic! Just got back from cub scout camping with my 1st grader, tied a whistle around his neck but didn't like the tie... will replace it with this. Super idea. Loved the FAK I put together prior from your vids prior to going ... was the site medic :) Thank you!

[CampfireTalk]

great idea, where did you pick up the 6 sided tag?

[CampfireTalk]

@CampfireTalk never mind, I see that I missed the first part. thanks again doc

[7Ronin49]

Awesome idea Doc, so many uses for 550 cord :)

[silvereagle1833]

I have a few Marines that have the red medical dog tags. They are mostly for severe allergy's to medication. I like your style. I the 4th AAV our Devil Doc's had us segment the para-cord. Just in case a Tango tried to strangle us with it. In twenty three years and nine combat deployments I never let anyone get that close.....Once again nice tip Doc...Gunny Z

[USNERDOC]

@silvereagle1833 - Gunny, thanks for the kind comments and a big special thanks to you and your guys for your service to our country.

[Sasquatch7foot]

I really like this idea for us civilian's..... Thanks Doc

[jkejr]

people need to think more along these lines as to having a medic in their militias. Great video.

[USNERDOC]

@jkejr - Agreed! Every militia worth its salt should have a medical corps (IMO).

[faranglaw]

good info.. cheers

[3charter]

Great idea!

[mlacey56]

Great Idea....I've been trying to figure a good way to keep vital info near me at all times, not to mention in multiple places....car, home, body, motorcycle...etc...Thanks for the tip

[mrmonkeyman50]

Love the little tricks you sprinkle into your vids.

[Airsoftaddict78]

Keep up the good work Doc!
