thirteen/autumns Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 @ Heeb Nice looking gear there Heeb! Is that a FAST sternal IO I see in a picture... I take it you are a paramedic somewhere? Anyway all I can say is that is by far the best gear/kit list I have seen on this thread. I only noticed one thing that I would change/know PJs very seldom use and that is those OPAs. NPAs are the way to go in the field. We don't even use OPAs in the apprentice course, only in the Paramedic course of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heeb Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 NPAs a great, but are contraindicated in major head/facial trauma. I use them all the time at work, but OPAs are more effective at maintaining a BLS airway in the unresponsive patient. I have NPAs in there, their just buried in there. And yes, i have to old FAST IOs. I need to get a proper airway roll and a med pack to organize the meds i have (all OTC of course). The thing people forget when doing a PJ load out is the fact that PJ's are medics. Even if you have no medical kit, at least carry a pack to give the illusion you are carrying it. Otherwise you just look like every other sealcagubberleetsfairsofter out there. thanks for the positive feed back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jolly15 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'd assume so, those pictures are mine and were both taken in the same room. But both of them are used by PJ's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thirteen/autumns Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 lol ABU Bad picture man... One of those TACPs was KIA and the other was in not doing so well in the hospital. His current condition I am unsure of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 On another note, what's with the drastic difference between the top and bottom of his ABU's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
echodafish Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Those are the FR ABU's. Kinda our attempt at a fighting uniform. The color difference is just lighting or one piece being more worn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pkekyo-Nor Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 So...anyone have a source for a genuine ABU Combat Uniform? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thinger Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Try this guy, he sells from Germany via eBay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Thanks thinger, but I'm looking for actual ABU trousers and a combat shirt, not interested in the Propper stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azubi Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 That's also a very expensive retailer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ev1436 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 So...anyone have a source for a genuine ABU Combat Uniform? a BX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Err.... wat? Care to be a little more cryptic about that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jolly15 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 That's not being helpful. A BX wouldn't sell them, MCS would. I think your best bet would be to tailor your own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
