I didn't know MSA made them, but I'm happy with that

I figure some nice padding and straps would do a good job negating the weight

I'm thinking team Wendy for that

I don't agree with their views, but they're top notch still

Hell yeah

A lot are stepping up, and seeing that makes me hopeful

@MrBlack I wouldn't trust that tourniquet with my life

Get something that's CoTCCC recommended

A cheap tourniquet will get you or your buddy killed

@Saint Stephen that's a good mask, but make sure to get the 400/3 BB version

@Saint Stephen the version you linked has a seal that has been shown to deteriorate when exposed to certain chemicals

The 3 BB version is updated and a full CBRN mask

Go to rescue essentials.com

That's a great website to get good medical gear

I like the CAT for self application, but SOFT wides are better for your buddy

The newer generations don't have any problems

The ones with the white tab could fail on occasion

This is the man to follow to learn about CBRN masks

You can dm him and he'll learn you a thing personally

Hell yeah they'll tear gas us

Maybe not full out chemical warfare, but for riot control yea

I wonder if the cheapo Israeli gas masks and filters okay in dealing with CS

I'd prefer to not get arrested while choking on my own mucus

I hope the guys tomorrow will have masks

Bc they will undoubtedly get gassed

First thing

@MrBlack what kind of mask is that? Looks like a millennium but thinner

From MSA?

I've been looking into masks and trying to find a good one

I've already got a solid rifle and handgun, some good armor (though I could upgrade my plates), and a helmet that I'm fixing up

I've got an Israeli mask, but I'd like to upgrade to a CBRN

If not a mask next, I'll probably get some ceramic swimmer cut plates from hoplite since I only have some shitty ar500 steel

I've got a complete ifak I've outfitted, so I'm not concerned about that

Training is #1

Oof, I don't have a cric kit, but I've got some decompression needles

I'll just have to improvise with a knife and an NPA lmao

Went to a class at Houston Methodist to train on it yesterday in fact

Pretty cool, we trained with pig tracheas

Unfortunately my medical director doesn't trust us with surgical airways, so we can only do needle crics

^

I went to a cadaver lab not too long ago during Texas EMS conference and met one of the guys that invented the EZIO

Pretty cool dude

I also passed out that day

I also enjoy osteomyelitis

Lol. Your training sounds badass though

I'm a little jelly, since stateside it's mostly confined to pig parts and mannequins

I'm stoked for PJ training. I'm a little bummed I'll miss medic school, but they'll probably still put me through TCCC so that's fun

Me and my buddy are gonna go to an FP-C class next month, since we figure that'll be pertinent

It won't get us certified, but we'll understand the literature

With my luck I'll do all this to prepare and they'll select some high school football player over me in A&S

I would hope. The way I hear it, the developer I go to has a historically much higher selection rate for the candidates he pushes through, so it's a little comforting

👀

I wonder if treating goats is similar to treating dogs

I've seen people wake up from the dead after pushing fluid through one

Not literally

But it'll wake you up

80 YO septic grandma wasn't very altered after the IO fluid bolus

Got this helmet rockin n rollin
