One of the main reasons why I don't carry a jump bag is mostly due to the cost of setting one up. Employers don't typically set up one for you. In my opinion there's a limit of stuff you can do with just a jump bag anyway. Typically, I don't stop at accidents when I come across them because I am not equipped to handle the situation POV. I also have to agree with what @paramedicmike said when he said the only thing you really need is a cell phone with relatively good service.

I don't carry anything while I'm off duty. I used to, but I outgrew it. While on the job I only carry a few select items: Pen (usually 3 or 4 because I always lose them) Stethoscope (Because I don't know where the ears of others have been.) Shears ('cause ya never wanna have to tease your rookie partner for carrying them, then have to borrow them on the very next call because you don't carry them) I also have a "Go Bag" that I take on long flights. It includes: Additional cold weather gear. (Snowpants, parka, big mitts, facemask, 'cause, you know, it would suck to survive a forced landing only to freeze to death.) A small survival kit with fishing line, fire starter, etc ('cause, sometimes, ya just gotta fend for yourself. Couple bottles of water and a few granola bars, ('cause, you know, it would suck to survive a forced landing, stay warm, and starve to death.) A good book. ('cause, you know, it would suck to survive a forced landing, keep warm and nourished, yet die of boredom.) As for what the station will provide, it varies from one company to the other, you should check with them.

go in with an open mind Ask in advance what they want you to do Ask what they will allow you to do ask many many questions make sure you help them with cleanup and changing cots DO NOT spend most of your time flirting with the nurses, talking or texting or playing games on yoru phone. Youare there to learn and not to text or talk on your phone. If I as a FTO/evaluator had my wish and ruled the world, I would not students to carry their cell phones on them when they were doing ride alongs or I would put them in the lock boxes and I would only allow them out during breaks and lunch. Bring your field guide or some book to let the medic know you are serious about learning. Do not offer to buy them lunch or dinner, that would set a bad precedent that you would be held to on your next ride and your next and again and again. You are there to learn, not to buy the crew food. I'm sure that there will be other stuff that others will add.
