I'm a paramedic with our county based ems. The county sheriff's office asked myself and 2 other medics to join their tac team. We've been training with them for about 9 months now. The sheriff finally has some money to spend on us and we are putting our packs together. We need some suggestion on what to fill them with and what type of packs we should go with. Is a vest type pack better than carrying a back pack or do we need both. All suggestions greatly appreciated.
