Medic and Corpsman bag information

Im throwing this out there because Ive seen quite a few people who have either won or sold medical bags with and without supplies so I wanted to sort of give an idea of what to look for and not look for in bags:
Most people see the standard issued MOLLE "Modular Lightweight Load Carrying Equipment" medical bag, this bag normally gees with a center backpack, a right and left side detachable set of pochets inside having an IV bandoleer and with straps a total of 8 outside pockets. "Personally I think this bag is crap, the one I used to use wasnt the best in organization but you have to work with what you have at the time. You could organize it when laying it down but the minute you put it on your back and ran everything fell around near the bottom."

--The Basic Field Corpsman ENT kits are alittle hard to gee by.... corpsman in the field usually love em for sickcall but they get "tactically acquired" alot I have another guide out there breaking these kits down Piece by piece just take a look.
There are many other styles of bags out there as well I personally carry a Blackhawk STOMP II medic bag myself due to the configuration. The main thing you want to remember though is make sure however you have your bag or whatever medical bag you carry keep your stuff easy to find or it does you no good when it matters, field strip some of it such as your 1000 NACL (normal saline) bags which means open the bag and prep it with everything you might need to start a fast IV so your not scrambling around to try and find everything needed. Break your bag into sections Emergency airway --- emergency trauma --- sickcall --- medications --- etc etc.

hopefully this will help out alittle in the long run for you!
ALSO when auctioning bags already made REMEMBER do NOT put any type sharps (razors, needles, injectables, etc) or chemicals (Medications, Auto injectors) in on your auction as its usually ILLEGAL. And carefully check the bags making sure they have all pouches and extras that are supposed to gee with the bag usually you can find the spec's of the bag your considering online quite easily just google search it.
