We always used a sewing needle to dig out a burried splinter when the tweezers failed. I would say the toothpick is a handy substitute because you are less apt to lose it.
I carry extensive first aid supplies. I’ve been first on scene to multiple car crashes ranging from minor injuries to fatalities. I never want to come upon a crash without a decent first aid kit. I agree that everyone needs training. I’m guilty of letting mine lapse and need to get re-certified. But I also want to have gear that someone more knowledgeable can use to help others. I carry a small first aid guide in my kit.
I have a first aid guide in my full first aid kit I use for camping and pack hiking. But I should add something in here though- thanks! Like I said, I'm not professional, but even a little training and study can go a LONG way in an emergency
I have an extensive kit in my car - also having been first on scene at more than one accident - and my mom is an RN. Having said that, a little kit like this lives in my everyday bag. It's come in handy. Not as much as when my son was little, but it's handy. I do have a few things in my big kit that I hope I never need to use, even though I'm trained.
The timing of your video is amazing, I've been working my first aid kits for the last week and now have some things to add after watching 😁 The compressed towels are terrific and surprisingly strong. I also compartmentalize with ziploc bags as you have here, it helps keep things really organized!
I LOVE these compressed towels! I carry a tube of them in all my go and hiking bags. It's all I use while camping for either shower houses or a bird bath. Plus, just to wet and put on your head or neck is great when your roasting. Thanks for watching, and I'm glad it could help at all!
@@ConansEasyDadCarry YES, I do the same, hahaha. I discovered that those towels are the width of a nickel, so the clear plastic tubes for storing nickels that you can get at hobby stores work perfectly! I think you can get 8 towels in there. They're in all my bags and the car, a bag of 500 from Amazon go a long way!
Keeping records of events is a great idea..especially when it comes to applying a TQ..water is great for irrigation as well as for treating burns..great kit..Thank you for the tag!
I might through some water purification tablets and a few coffee filters in here too just for more of an outdoors or survival backup. Thanks for checking it out bud!
The one thing I'd add, having raised a son and been a tomboy, would be a tiny sewing kit. You know, The kind with a small card (1"x1.5" ish) and 4 different colors of thread, a needle, and a threader. I noticed you already have a couple of safety pins. My SAK has better scissors or folding scissors aren't bad.
I have seen small bags like your using on Amazon, that are much heavier duty with a zip loc type top that hold up way better, and you can stuff more in without the sides busting out. Also I knew a guy who worked for the red cross, and he said that the kitchen spice Alum works like the stop bleed, only it hurts more.
Super useful, thanks for sharing. I got some sweet reusable heavy-duty pill ziploc bags off of amazon. Hold up a lot better than the plastic ones from walmart I was using...
Can I suggest an idea? I found a [Schrade] stockman knife in the forest. There's no good videos explaining ALL the best uses for the 3 types of blade shapes, or why someone would want them all together on one tool. The knife nerds have ignored my request, as if it's obvious. Can a multitool guy explain the stockman? Is it even a multitool? That could be a fun discussion. So far, I like using the small spay blade for opening taped boxes and clam shells. LOL on the Miss Army knife. But it would make a great gift for a 14yo girl I know. I like that you review unusual things ! Thanks again
I was gonna say the same, but I'm glad someone else called it! It's why I link you in all my videos! You make great stuff that's super accessible and fun to watch. Keep up the great work!
@@zoephin6205 Sounds interesting! The Miss Army is a cool knife. I found a similar setup fishing knife for guys where you store flys in the compartment.
My kids have some dietary issues, so we actually eat pretty healthy. I know vegetarian is better for a LOT of health stuff anyways though. My problem is even studf like tomatoes suddenly started giving me issues lol Thanks for the tip!
😆Those are kind of hold over. Good for the same thing as the pick, but also good for securing clothing in case it needs to be modified to accommodate for an injury. I've carried safety pins since cub scouts in all my med kits. Thanks for watching- and good catch! Didn't even think about them being in there
@Conan's EDC- Easy Dad Carry sounds like the superior tool to me. Smaller and multi-purpose. I just discovered your channel recently and have been really enjoying the content. Thanks, and keep it up!
@@brunojohnson4026 Thank you so much! I personally like the pick because it's a lot tougher and easier to handle than just a safety pin. I also like that it stores in itself and I don't have to worry about it popping open or being exposed all the time like the pins. But it *is* an extra tool that's kind of limited in capability, so maybe not preferred by everyone. Always like having a discussion on this stuff!
I have not. But I did have to pull the metal pieces out and leave it when I went to the Smithsonian Museum in DC. So I imagine it would probably be about the same. I fly pretty minimal as it is. I'm not a "1 bag" kinda guy, but I don't want to hassle with a lot when I'm at airports.

@@ConansEasyDadCarryThere are tiny card sized guides that would fit in your kit, I think.

@@kirk1968 Urban EDC and camping/outdoors really need to cross over more often! There's so much good gear that each could benefit from

I'm happy I'm not the only one that refuses to use a sharp metal object in the mouth. Great kit. Awesome video sir.
Thanks as always!
I have tourniquets from when I have labwork. I keep on in my edc pouch.

Hey, that electrical tape on a piece of card is genius! Thank you!
Wow! A lot of really good ideas! Thanks!
You have an excellent channel.
YOU convinced me to get the Nextool Captain and the Pet Tool.
Just gotta wait for aliexpress :(
Thank you!
@@zoephin6205 Thank you for those encouraging words!

Look into the Victorinox Rambler and take the red scales off and put it on your keychain
That's not a bad idea. I usually have various tools and blades on me, but a solid dedicated piece for this would help round out the kit. Thanks!
Victorinox Nail Clip 580 has clippers and scissors and knife.
I find the plastic toothpick is good enough.
I filed the tweezers to make them pointy.
@@zoephin6205 I've been meaning to pick one up. Got that for the wife a few years ago and she loves it. Would actually work great for this. Thanks!
Great video! I was watching first aid videos the other day. This video is more what I was looking for, instead of all heavy trauma gear.
Thanks for checking it out!
Excellent kit. Well thought out
Great information and first aid kit
Thanks!
Heartburn gets better if you go vegetarian and eat organic. Lots of distilled water is good too.
My kids have some dietary issues, so we actually eat pretty healthy. I know vegetarian is better for a LOT of health stuff anyways though. My problem is even studf like tomatoes suddenly started giving me issues lol Thanks for the tip!
A common tool that's sharp and stabby? What about the safety pins you already have in the kit?
😆Those are kind of hold over. Good for the same thing as the pick, but also good for securing clothing in case it needs to be modified to accommodate for an injury.

Have you traveled on an airplane with this? Does it get through security?
I have not. But I did have to pull the metal pieces out and leave it when I went to the Smithsonian Museum in DC. So I imagine it would probably be about the same. I fly pretty minimal as it is. I'm not a "1 bag" kinda guy, but I don't want to hassle with a lot when I'm at airports.
Gotcha! That is what I figured. @@ConansEasyDadCarry
This is t the most useful kit. The thing about electric tape is it won't stick to skin. It's made to stick to its self.
That's very true. As a binding around other material and itself, it works great. Thank you for checking it out!
