What do you carry? - The mega thread

I just recently started wearing a belt w/my BDU's, because our new triage system gets put on your belt and one of the Chiefs gave me a hard time about my pants not falling down when we were training on the new system and I had no belt to hang the bag on. Oh well.

I have two Minitor 4's - one for FD one for Amb. Corps. Both 4's but very different - the Amb. Corps has playback capabilities while the FD doesnt.
 
New york strap?

Sounds kinky!

Where do i get one and what is it?

:D

Yeah... I haven't tried the keeper strap yet...


My big challenge is that I'm on a bike next Saturday for a BIG bike race in our small town.... Large crouds, 15 blocks+ closed.

me and partner will be first responders to ALL incidents in the area...

I'm leaning towards a holster, b/c I've got tha have the radio with me.

If you had the keeper, it would not be a problem. we had a bike team that used them more than once!
 
Well B) , I carry a lot, but a use all of it all the time:

*6x pairs gloves
*Dorcy Spider short range tactical lithium/xenon torch
*cellphone
*LED Pupil torch
*Cold Steel - Land&Sea Rescue knife
*tri bandage (for cleaning things as a hanky mostly - when i use it on pts their not in a state to mind the filth)
*Trauma Scissors
*black pen
*secondary cheap pen torch
*Registration card


PS: I must add that it is very easy for me to carry in bulk since i work in a jump suit. :D


RANGAT - South Africa
 
I've added a few things... My new EMS pants (AMR - yay) have "glove pockets) on the upper thighs.... I usually keep a few bandaids in one... a couple of vionex(for me) and alcohol preps (my pen)....

I also sometimes keep a 5x9 in my side pocket.... that way I have "something" to use to control bleeding....

Currently, I carry a cell in a maxpedition holster on the immediate left, and an FD-pager posterior to the cell. On the right, I carry an inova X1 for pupils, a Fenix L1P posterior to the X1 and finally followed by an Inova XO in a Maxpedition holster.

A Radio
A Pager
Two cell phones -- one company and one mine

What's a fob?
 
A small pocket at the front waistline of a man's trousers or in the front of a vest, used especially to hold a watch.

A short chain or ribbon attached to a pocket watch and worn hanging in front of the vest or waist.
An ornament or seal attached to such a chain or ribbon.

Answering your own questions now, Alex?


It is a device that my part-time employer requires I have on my ID card.... similar to the electronic keys that many places are using to track building access. This one is hooked into a "black-box" system in the vehicle that tracks who is driving, how fast, how safely, etc.

Me being a wise-a$$

Handcuffs
Ring of chits
Identification wallet
Holder with signature stamp and printed stamp
Another case with a highlighter, sharpie and inkpens

I used to carry everything I possibly could, back when I was a newbie. I've gotten to where I don't even bother anymore. I always have to take the bag with me and it has everything in it I would need.

The only things I carry on me now are my cell phone and an ink pen. Before getting out of the truck at a scene, I toss my littman around my neck. I just can't hear out of those cheap stethoscopes.
 
Belt hot pink trauma shears with holster
various pockets;
penlight
3 pairs of gloves (rolled up like a taquito!)
4 packets of antibacterial hand wipes (P.A.W.S. is the brand)- luv it!
sm.O2 wrench
black ball point pen and small black "sharpie" pen
4-5 alcohol wipes
cell phone and or pager
rolled up large zip lock bag for pt meds/etc.
Now if I only had those winning lottery numbers! :P
