PARAMEDIC’S SURVIVAL SECRETS | Armouredcockroach's Story

In this episode of The Debrief, former 22 SAS Trooper Big Phil Campion speaks to Armouredcockroach. Born into a large family, and destined for a career at his fathers greengrocers, Roach decided to join the Army aged 17 and joined an infantry unit. First deployed to Gibraltar, where he first encountered members of the Special Forces, training alongside them for a hijacking response team role. Roach was unsuccessful in his attempts to pass SAS Selection, and went on to attempt 23 SAS (Reserve) Selection, before moving into the Ambulance Service. Roach was one of the first Paramedics on the streets of London, and became part of the HEMS team at Royal London Hospital. Eventually transferring to South Africa, Roach developed his trauma experience, and then lectured on his return to the UK. Roach went onto the Close Protection Circuit, and worked with clients like Sir Elton John, Saudi Royals & Russian Oligarchs. Keen on bushcraft and survival, Roach went on to launch a successful YouTube channel, amassing over 3 million views and progressing onto National Geographic's Doomsday Preppers programme.
