I was a mine emergency technician on underground coal mines for several years. The company I worked for was very good for supplying is with everything we needed. We had a "rescue sled" that had everything needed to deal with a cut or splinter to keeping a 22 man crew alive in a 0 oxygen environment for at least a week. I also kept a "oh shit" pack to deal with really bad things till I could get someone else to run to the sled and get what I needed. That pack had gloves, a pair of shears, a tourniquet, a face shield, a cheat seal, a clean Ziploc bag and roll of duct tape just in case the chest seal failed, and 4x4 gauze and lastly a space blanket and to instant hand warmers to break and stick in their arm pits.
@@caesarleon1 troll. Get out of moms basement and try to de something constructive with you life. You have no clue who I am and what I've done and I couldn't care less what you think.
I suggest to ad instant chemical hand/toe/bodywarmers. Depents in the size of the pack. A pair of toe warmers fits in the most space blankets bags. Most are self-adhesive, so it can put on the renal area before wrapping the patient in a blanket.
Medical Gear Outfitters is awesome!! I’ve placed a number of orders from them over the last couple of years and they’ve always been great. Good prices, huge selection, and fast shipping! Highly recommended!!
You and prepmedic are the greatest medics I've found on youtube! I'm saving up my money to buy 5 packs of the NAR packing gauze and the Xshears from medical gear outfitters so i can support these videos and build my kit. Also, i have a question, could a pressure dressing be improvised with an elastic bandage, some gauze, and a shooter marble/rock?
Great video 😊😊😊. Question about gloves, do they need to be sealed? Or could they be tossedblike that in your kit? Thank you and have a great day and weekend ahead 🙏🏿😎
Thank you for your time and experience in helping us out,question.? Have you covered wilderness first aid; I apologize if you covered this topic over the years. I see the Hiking med Kit on your website, Thank you!
You seem pretty comfortable with the 4" compression bandages. Are they just as good for a belt mount or chest rig kit, or is it a half measure reducing the size for convenience or marketing at the expense of effectiveness. I have what i think is a full size ifak on a pack, but i put the micro minimalist one on my belt.
Most cities support the national CERT program, which provides a wide range of free training and can tell you what is available around you. Your FD, PD, or emergency management office may be sponsoring that. The local Red Cross usually dponsors first aid and CPR courses, typically $50-75.
Any thoughts on adding Narcan to your kit? I don't have anyone that I know of who uses drugs and might need Narcan, but you never know when you're traveling or out and about. Thanks for sharing.
As a former drug addict...i quit carrying narcan. Those people are usually so far gone in other ways, its a mercy to not bring them back. Again, i say that as a former iv heroin addict, so im not judging or think they're lower than me. Ive been there. At a certain point youre only prolonging suffering and delaying the inevitable.
Have you looked at the Slishman pressure wrap? If so what are your thoughts on it as both a pressure wrap and secondary tourniquet similar to a swat-t?
All good info. Good to see you back with us, we look forward to your vids. The Heimlich Maneuver. What is your opinion on the Heimlich maneuver device? I picked up a cheap one just to see what they're all about. The one I bought, Cheap, that looks like a plunger, however even as a plunger it didn't work. Are the better Heimlich plungers any better, or just false hope? If are good, which would you recommend? Keep your vids coming.
Just rememer, Hot Hands and similar warmers often have a 2 year life from mfr date. Ones due to expire in a year are often sold cheap online. I use a Sharpie to mark expiry dates, and go through the kits annually to replace as needed. The expiry date on hand warmers is a hard stop, enough oxygen gets through the pack so they really go dead.
I will have you know I have the best IFAK money can buy. I have Motrin and a bottle of water in it, and if things get REALLY bad: a spare change of socks.
Simple googling would be all you need. Nothing he said was a super complex concept. If you want to, you can respond to this with a question and I can answer it if I know the answer. I am a EMT, so I have some medical training. But I am not a surgeon lol.😃
@@SkinnyMedic the heart saver first aid and AHSI first aid cpr are good first aid classes imo. I have taught both. The AHSI class has waaaaaay better videos.
Just curious your thoughts on a needle for tension pneumothorax?Even if you do not have the training for it,maybe someone else that shows up to help may have the training that could use it?

Home Depot cheap paint drop cloth. 15'x15' is cheap, packs tiny, keeps the weather off you and a patient. Keeps them off the ground.

No you weren’t.
@@caesarleon1 I beg to differ. As a matter of fact I have the broken back to prove it.
@@jughead8988 No you don’t.

I’m just building one right now and this video popped up just in time. Thank you, Mr. Medic! 👍🏽🇺🇸
Awesome

Glad you are still making videos!
Whoever said medical ain’t sexy … pfff …. Scissors > Lube > Nasal Trumpets > rubber gloves, ohh my.. 😂…Great vid man appreciate it

Thank you
In the process of building a kit for my classroom. Getting training this summer
Thanks for the videos. I'm about to order the expanded civilian trauma kit just from your help here.
Great info man, thanks!
Thank you!
Great video
Hey, long time no see by me.
As always thank you for the informative step by step vide
What about 'first on the scene' training? See local EMT department.

Regards from Spain man!! I love your videos
Tnx
I love these videos. I've built 2 bags because of your videos. Working on a 3rd that's more boo boo related for the kids at sports events and the park
That is awesome!

I don't think I have covered one in a long time.
You seem pretty comfortable with the 4" compression bandages.

Just subscribed sir thank you very much
Love this was looking at rhino rescue are they any good? Or just build thks kit?
Stay far far away from Rhino rescue stuff
@@whiteyfisk9769yeah I did more research ended up just using credit card and getting the LTC get home alive kit
I don't see on the website how to put in discount code I saw on videos
What I learned from this: Since tourniquets are like women and I need two tourniquets, ergo I need two women.
Hahahaha dang it …:
Maybe you can but I barely afford the one and only woman I got as is. So yea, no. I’ll pass 🥴
Hey leave some for the rest of us? Since I am still looking for the ONE.
I need two women like I need a hole in my head.
Lol
Thank you for this. Will be building a trauma kit.
Would love to get some training on how to useall this stuff, I can buy it dont mean I know how to use it properly

I have not but I will look it up.
What do U suggest with regards to pain medicine skinnymedic?
Tylenol/ Ibuprofen… or Ketamine
@@SkinnyMedicketamine??? Whooooo!!!!

I don’t think there is enough data to support the devices. I currently thank the hold fashion hands on abdominal thrust is the best.
What about Kotex Pads instead of 5 X 9's?
Or Clot agent then Kotex on top?
Yep that would work!
🤘💀🖤
To save space in your kit use adhesive Hot hands pads instead of hot packs.
Good idea!!

If you need audio help to correct the left only audio, send it my way. I'll fix it.

This might be a good video for someone that know the terms that you use, but i had no idea what you were saying.

You should look at taking a first aid class and a Stop The Bleed class.
@@SkinnyMedic the heart saver first aid and AHSI first aid cpr are good first aid classes imo. I have taught both. The AHSI class has waaaaaay better videos.
Its pretty basic man....unless youre 10 years old. Any adult in 2024 should be able to deduce what hea talking about, even if you dont know the terms.
