OK - new thread, as I said to Matt.

Situation: Eldest son is certifying as an EMT in a couple of weeks and will begin the final leg of the Paramedic certification journey next semester.

What sorts of personal equipment do y'all suggest? He's a seasoned, hardened, extremely capable outdoorsman and has enough personal gear along those lines to handle whatever comes up in THOSE situations. My focus here is strictly personal gear as it pertains to EMT and eventually Paramedic duties. He's quite passionate about serving as an EMT, if that matters - it clicks something on inside him.

TIA,

Tom
