Showing different lung 🫁 injures along with anatomy, interventions, and other neat stuff in the cold with providers from all over. Can’t stress how this training saves lives big picture for those going into harms way whether it’s state side or somewhere overseas. Going to post a lot more training pics, vids , and etc . Even when it’s cold and everything is closed , we’re still training because a lot of these folks that come in our courses won’t have the luxury of a break when working medicine around the globe in areas that are very kinetic. Cric s especially are not practiced enough same with needle decompression to other interventions that have a huge failure rate due to providers not training enough with these interventions. We add new things to the training even in severe weather. Probably my favorite part in the training is not only th drone portion but , the students willing to suck it up for the cold and do the organ/ anatomy portion in the cold. You have to be mentally tough to work these fields because even in combat along with other harsh environments, you’re not going to have a choice when rendering aid to yourself and others. Great work as always from the students and instructors ! 🫀🧠🫁

Even in level 3 snow storms ❄️ ⛄️, we’re still training! Past few classes, it’s been in the single digits to negative and we’re still training / learning. We also had deer we tracked with drones come up and watch our training / one of them was a buck eating a bush right outside our class observing us in the cold 🦌. But , great people, great training, and great times ! Training in weather you can’t bare can go along way especially the way the world is going. Getting cold , hot, and uncomfortable is apart of adapting especially , if you’re going to places where you may have to be in cold and miserable treating others or yourself ! Stay warm and stay aware in the elements. The students definitely learned hypothermia in the cold 🥶 in recent training. More to come and again, awesome classes with awesome people 🫀🧠🫁 ❄️

So during our training in the cold , we played with pretty high end drones with thermal / IR tracking capabilities. Reason why we brought this into training is because , our adversaries are now good with technology including drones. If you want to go down the rabbit hole on drones , look at Ukraine and other War zones along with how they’re used. Follow .war to see that it’s no joke. What was even more interesting yet scary is the gentleman who I’ll tag / mention in this post put the drone essentially on auto pilot mode with AI and the drone was able to follow us without anyone controlling it even high up. It was also capable zooming in a great distance with pin point accuracy. If you’re training in TCCC , then drones need to be a factor for troop safety straight up. It’s forever changed War. Let us know what you think in the comments below. Going to try to stay warm in this weather while learning / training. Always awesome learning something new that can save lives. 🫀🧠🫁

Anatomy lessons with Kevin who also is one of my ems mentors. He’s a solid paramedic too. Knowing the body goes a long way when saving lives! Training like this helps@with hands on wit those in these fields as well. Explains the WHY goes a long way and it helped people like our students , staff , and instructor save lives over the years. More to come and time to train / stay warm in this cold 🥶 🔥 🫀🧠🫁

.78 showing how to do a knee splint which is a pretty neat concept. Rob is a legit dude who contracted in Iraq for years same with working as an Oil rig medic for years as well. I love learning from medics like this over the years state side to overseas that show improvised medicine that works ! You can also use triangle bandages, rip clothing and etc according to Rob as well. Again, awesome training while learning at the same time! Going to post more class pics/ vids but also contracting jobs as well for ems to nursing in future posts. What are your thoughts on this knee splint or the concept? Let us know what you think in the comments. Great work / idea 💡in my opinion! 🫀🧠🫁

No matter what age your are, you’re never to old to save a life . and I are showing different products from , , , and for PTHLS classes at a local fire department both Brian and I worked at . Very good products to show people life saving tools and techniques. It’s also priceless even when people who are seasoned / experienced vs people who are young / new to ems learning something new in our courses. Heck , I even learn when training as well. The whole point of training is learn something new and being comfortable learning from mistakes. I also love learning from medics like Brian over the years that have been doing ems longer than me because, it makes our skills better when the real deal happens. Both Brian and I been in some hairy situations working together out the country to the streets same with other FDs I use to ride / work with over the years. Awesome again as always learning from people from all over from all walks of life. Go check these products out and spread knowledge that saves lives ! 🫀🧠🫁

Found an AED with stop the bleed kits at a Walmart here . Next time you’re in a public place, try to see if they have a first aid kit, stop the bleed kits, and AED. There’s apps called pulse point and pulse point AED that shows some locations registered AEDs. Fun fact for all you high speed TECC/ TCCC people out there , you can use AED pads expired or not expired for chest seals in a pinch for trauma like GSWs, stab wounds and etc. A few of us used AEDs a few times in the field and once off duty . Also used expired to non expired AED pads as chest seals for the real deal. But, going to post more classes , what are students are doing overseas especially contracting as medical , and job postings to empower many to save lives even when we’re gone. Knowledge is power so spread it so that “others may live “ . 🫀🧠🫁

showing us updates with PHTLS with NAEMT and some hands on with the fire department. The new updates including the “golden hour” is called the “golden period” among other updates . AHA, DHA, NAEMT, Red Cross and etc always updates every couple years and it’s YOUR responsibility always knowing what’s new or what’s being out out there for first responders, health care, and military / government. Sometimes, there is confusion but , you have to be willing to adapt to change. More to come and let us know about the new updates whether it’s AHA BLS with the Lucas devices to stuff being talked about in prolonged field care. Honored again to learn as we go as we try to adapt with this crazy world. Stay tuned and stay informed on what’s new. 🫀🧠🫁

With all the chaos in the world, we still will train and adapt. Love seeing people’s faces when we show them the “required slides” vs real world videos that myself and instructors / staff have of us using combat medicine in the “real deal”. Grant it, I even show not only my squad being wiped in Sangin Afghanistan at night, but others especially in other events where we made mistakes which is ok. The point of training is to make / learn from mistakes because, it helps you make few in the field . Human nature occurs and mistakes will be made especially under stress , trauma , or both. Want to give a shout out to also being on the videos we showed. Kevin is a solid corpsman, nurse, and friend . It’s awesome seeing people in videos we served with or worked with in the past so that others in the future can still learn from us to spread knowledge. Honored as always to surround ourselves with people willing to learn / better themselves so that more lives can be saved . 🫀🧠🫁

Per our last post, this is one of our instructors “Heath” in Ukraine not to long ago. He’s been there a couple times same with , and who have been there along with Gaza to other various places . Same with who’s legit too. It’s amazing having people from all over attend these courses along with helping us teach medicine that works in current Warzones globally. Heath is a solid flight medic and his dad jokes are on fire 🔥 daily / some of them are pretty funny. But again, awesome to have people like him along with the others who we gave praise to previous posts including as well. Trying to give credit where it’s due along with catching up on posts because unfortunately, some of us still work odd hours and life does happen. More to come and honored to have solid people teach solid medicine that saves lives ! 🫀🧠🫁
