The chitogauze is for wound packing for a serious bleed, id recommend getting a pressure dressing like an Israeli bandage or an Oleas pressure wound dressing to go with it. Out of interest I'd stay well clear of Temu or dirt cheap tourniquets.
A very practical and motivational video. There's really no excuse for not being prepared in this way as all the items are so cheap. Just a question of being organised to make sure it is kept up to date and you are confident with how to use everything.
Its always good to have a good first aid kit, but knowing what to do for some bigger injuries is a must as well. Get some training or watch someone like prepmedic or skinny medic, they know their stuff
I've got a big first aid kit in the motorhome . It's kinda like a throw back from my Hang gliding . I really need to take a look in it , see whats in it , and check whats in date , or out . I sorta got involved with training new pilots , so brought the original kit , and added to it over the years . Along with the usual suspects , i've added extras like anti-histamine tablets , mainly for stings and bites . A small container of paracetamol , not just a rack . Sterile or anti-septic cream , even a sterile burn soothing cream , from when i made the jump to power . I also would recommend a re-salting drink of some description . It can be handy for someone who has been throwing up , and even diarrhea . Shock in these circumstances is a very real threat , more so with younger members , and can be a very good pick-me up . While on the subject some kind of laxative , could be a good move as well . The actual kit was quite bulky , but like yours , all kinds of things spring out of mine now when you open it . Housed in a soft green pouch , it was originally marketed for taxi use , and is quite extensive . If i remember correctly it cost something like 30 quid , and came complete with scissors , tweezers , yes the metal type and eye wash , plus basic instructions . I have had basic first aid training , including resuscitation , with the red cross 40 odd years ago , plus unusually water resus techniques , from my Scuba days when i was about 13 . I don't think this is part of modern diver training program today , but it was a mandatory part of basic Bsac training 45 years ago . Never really needed any of it , so i'm obviously very rusty , but i do have a very thick first aid manual in the van as well , which even includes subjects like child berth (hah i kid you not) . Not much call for that particular subject with hang gliding of course , unless the flight was particularly hairy . Again it's old , but was written by the red cross , and so to my mind is better than winging it , huh .
Hi Ana, nice well thought out kit 🙂 I would add some skin closures - like stick on stiches - for holding cuts together and, this one wont fit inside the bag, but could be attached to it, is a plastic AV mask in a plastic case, for doing "mouth to mouth" on a stranger or someone with facial injuries. For the sterile solution, you could get the small plastic sealable drinks pouch's, come is various sizes
@@AnasFoodLifestyle I thought that it might be 😞You can also get small plastic shields with a one way valve that pack down to a keyring size pack. I think every FA should have some sort of AV aid in case of having to deal with a stranger
@@anitaleroy9442 Sorry, I should have said "Artificial Ventilation" instead of being Lazy and going with AV 🙂 It is the posh name for mouth to mouth or mouth to nose. Always a good add to any first aid kit
Glad i'm not the only one who has tablets in my first aid kit, not only paracetamol but hay-fever/allergy tablets, heartburn, constipation and diahorrea. Mayb a bit ott but thats me lol
I have a very similar bag for mine, most first aid books and every course I've been on warn against putting medication in a first aid kit. Ive added various meds to mine for my personal use but too each their own. I see someone mentioned superglue, this can cause a chemical burn so if you did i wouldn't advise using on anyone but yourself as you could leave yourself open to legal action (the world we live in) I didn't see a resuscitation shield (possibly i missed it), tourniquet can be dangerous unless used properly, if you have one why not two? Because sometimes a second may be required. Good looking kit overall things like the scissors and tweezers mirror my own choices, although im a first aider, I'm not a first responder so can't justify the cost of decent trauma shears to myself.
@@AnasFoodLifestyle The First Aid Kit may come in a Small Package but in a prepping environment it has got to save lives. If no Hospital treatment is readily available, then some Next Stage Care may need to be prepped as well. Therefore, what started as a Store Bought Kit could diversify and expand in size. Also, Medical Items are Tradable under such circumstances, and the more the merrier.♥️
Some good point there but I don’t think I need athletes foot cream in my bug out bag ? It is small and you can’t fit everything in, all the above in my home kit but bug out bag one is hard due to size

You have some really wonderful kits, the only thing I have that I didn't see there was "super glue". I have used it on small cuts and it works well.

Thank you 😊
Great information as usual. As I'm quite accident prone, I've also got liquid skins and the chitosan power or wound seal (unfortunately not cheap)
Thank you, I will look into that 😊

Thank you, I’m on a lookout for a first aid course when one is available, it is a good idea !
Great ideas.
Thanks Ana, mine is almost the same as yours but I've got Iodine patches for infected wounds and a digital thermometer.
Ooh iodine is a great idea, thank you 😊 I have thermometer in a home kit but not in a bob bag, maybe I should too . Thank you 👍

Thank you, skin closures are great idea, mask. Is too but as you say too large for a Bob but worth having home maybe ? Thank you 😁👍

should add the same the mouth to mouth mask.

@@Lee_Proffit Same I replied quickly just in a hurry ....
Great and informative video!
Thank you 😊

You need Swabs and a roll of Tape and not just one type of Bandages.❤
I have loads of swabs in home kit so definitely add on, tape was in kit already maybe not much

I totally agree, as I mentioned in video I have large supply in home kit but the Bug out bag one is compact by design so not much can go in
I had literally just thought I need to put a first aid kit together, so it's really good timing 😊.
i) Israeli Bandage
ii) 3M Tegaderm pads. (various sizes)
iii) Steristrip wound closure
iv) Povidone-iodine antiseptic Spray
v) Gel Blister plasters
vi) Roll of Zinc Oxide Tape
vii) Canasten or Lamasil Athelets food anti fungal cream
viii) Ibuprofen Gel 10%
ix) Small quantity of Potassium Permanganate
x) Superglue
xi) Celox Hemostatic Gauze

Budget first aid kit....bog roll and gaffer tape.
Well they go without saying but if you just have those 2 in you BOB you won’t last long
