CSM Gear Custom Medic Bag

December 17, 2017 by Loadout Room Guest Authors Leave a Comment

CSM Gear Custom Medic Bag

About a year ago I decided that I wanted to include a trauma/active shooter medic bag on my gear line up.  I looked around at the various manufacturers and didn’t really see anything that fit my needs.  Even though I’m an EMT I was looking for a very basic loadout.  My planned load would consist of Israeli bandages, HyFin chest seals, CAT & SWAT-T tourniquets, nasal airways, a light source, EMT shears, duct tape, and gloves.

CSM Gear Custom Medic Bag

After not finding anything I reached out to Mike McMillan (AKA Doc Mike) of CSM Gear.  Mike is a real-deal retired Navy Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman and his experience shows in his designs.  I’ve been using CSM Gear for years now, Mike is a one guy operation and is in some ways a sleeper in the nylon gear industry.  Everything he builds is solid and bombproof and the best part is that he is willing to take on individual custom projects for customers.

I wanted something built on the basic design of the claymore bag but with some special features to my needs.  After a couple of emails and phone calls, we locked in the design and specs and he went to work.  A few weeks later a package arrived containing two bags.  One for me and one for my daughter who is a Nurse.  The basic design is that of the traditional claymore bag but when you open it each pouch has a slit pocket behind it which is ideal for a notebook, chest seals, masks, and other flat items.  The main pockets are perfect for tourniquets, Israeli bandages, and other bulkier items.  On the back side is a built-in pocket for a pair of EMT shears and a pouch for one of Mikes, “McMillan tourniquets”.

Additionally, there is a slit pocket that runs across the back that seals with Velcro that is perfect for carrying a flashlight, rescue tool, and a bottle of Purell with plenty of room to spare. Of course on the front, there is a Velcro area for name tapes or medical identifier patches.  The bag has a grab handle and a shoulder strap as I have it packed it is light, quick, and easy to access your supplies.  I very happy with this bag and highly recommend that if you check out the CSM Gear website for their line of nylon gear or contact Mike with your custom needs.
