About SHFTSTICK
One Stick for the Tough Jobs.
SHFTSTICK started with two ambulance partners, Ryan Drake and Jeremy Johnson, solving one of those stupid little problems everyone in Fire, EMS, and healthcare understands.
Jeremy is a seasoned Paramedic. Ryan is a seasoned Firefighter/EMT. After plenty of shifts dealing with the sights—and especially the smells—that come with the job, Ryan started 3D printing tiny quarter-sized containers for carrying Vicks on the ambulance.
They worked.
Then they disappeared.
Because everyone in this industry knows one universal truth:
If it isn’t attached, it’s getting lost.
That sparked the idea for SHFTSTICK.
Instead of another little container floating around a pocket, bag, ambulance, or station, we wanted something designed specifically for the people doing tough jobs: a stick that smells good, helps overpower the odors we encounter on the job, and lives inside a customizable holster that actually stays attached to your gear.
Clip it to a pocket. Mount it to MOLLE. Put it on a radio strap, backpack, duty belt, stethoscope, or whatever your particular mission calls for.
Then make it yours.
Different scents. Different formulas. Different colors. Different holsters. Different attachments. Fire, EMS, medical, law enforcement, dispatch, tactical, outdoors—or completely custom.
Every SHFTSTICK is meant to do two jobs: give you something better to smell when the situation definitely doesn’t, and take care of your lips at the same time.
And if freshly moisturized lips happen to create a promotional opportunity after shift…
Well, that’s between you and HR.
At the end of the day, we wanted to make something useful, hard to lose, easy to carry, and fun to customize. Because we’re gear people too—and who doesn’t like customized accessories?
