Roadtrip 101 6 : In Case of Emergency

This isn't really a part of the Roadtrip series, but it kinda is. Something that's important to me personally, I wanted to pass this stuff along to you guys. So I've got a LOT of links for you guys. This is stuff that you may never need, but if you do, it's a good thing.

Places to get emergency ID's

RoadID : http://www.roadid.com Mostly sports oriented styles. Interactive and static ID's available, bracelets and military dog-tag styles.

MedicAlert : http://www.medicalert.org Fairly generic bands, but very distinct. Bracelets / necklaces available

Medic Tag USB Flash Drives : http://www.medicalert.org Not meant to be worn, but on a keyring or similar. Holds all info on drive.

USB Medical Data : http://www.usbmedicaldata.com Another style of USB portable drive

Other options :

VELCRO PATCHES from MilSpec monkey : http://milspecmonkey.com/store/products/patches/medical If you want a more military style, I recommend these. MilSpec Monkey makes some great patches to begin with, but the medical ones are well thought out as well as functional. Not to mention that they're good mil-sim authentic. They also have blood type patches and some killer medic styles too.

Dog Tags : http://www.dogtagsonline.com/ $7 for a full set
http://www.armydogtags.com/ They have several styles of tags, including WW2, Vietnam, Korean era and many full color styles, for about $15 a set. Good for reenactors and scenario players Plus they explain "the notch" in old style tags nicely.

More info on medical abbreviations and engraving : http://www.stickyj.com/medical-id-what-to-engrave.html Check this place out if you're thinking about a tag. You only have so much space to use, abbreviations make it easier to get that info into the right hands.

I actually enjoy your long videos. I find youtube has pretty much replaced my tv so i like to be able to sit down and watch something with substance where i can get a lot of information on a subject instead of just clicking around every 2 minutes and getting little tidbits of stuff.

I'm type one diabetic and used to wear the bracelet. The metal ones are uncomfortable and jingly. The tags are good but some paracord works as a better lanyard. Thanks tyger. Thinking about ordering another set today.

I just recently got voted into my local firehouse and I've talked to a few EMT/EMS personal and they see a person injured or in a wreck unconscious they spring right into action and check for identification in the persons wallet if a dude or purse if a chick
