dear nutn, i saw this video for the first time a few months ago. I have always carried a basic kit but i decided to upgrade. I purchased many more advanced supplies and watched many simple first aid training videos. anyways today at work (i work construction so im outside) I witnessed a horrible head on. Because of you I was prepared and able to get to an injured man and use hemostats to stop arterial bleeding in his lower arm. it took emergancy services over 20 m to get there. Your video may have saved this mans life. thanks nutn
I travel that canyon daily. I still hear of fatal accidents up and down that canyon. In fact watching this video helped me make my mind up and not to be one of those wallflowers when a scary situation occurs. I found myself in that situation while parked near a freeway in California. I heard a boom that sounded like a bomb went off. I ran to where I could see what the noise was from and saw a CRX that looked like a crushed soda can. I froze I couldn't bring myself to look in the car. I know what it feels like to leave the scene of a tragic event and beat yourself up for not doing more. Never again, word up TNP.
Nutnfancy - You have inspired more people than you know. You are a true hero in every sense of the word. You saved lives that day, and because of videos like this, you have probably saved many more than you know indirectly. I want to thank you for all the hard work that you have done, are doing, and hopefully will continue to do in the future. I can personally speak that you have inspired me to strive every day to become a sheepdog. Thank you once again, and god bless.
I'm shocked that people were standing around doing nothing while a little boy was bleeding out in the road. Wow! You're right though. People process things differently and many excuse themselves from trying to help by making up excuses. They are nice people in every other respect that just can't function in a crisis. I'm with you. I'd never be able to live with myself if I could have helped and didn't. Especially in a case like this where there isn't even any danger to you in helping. Even if my help didn't change the result, the fact that I did all I could would matter to me. Good for you for doing the right thing!
I've watched this video multiple times. This video has a strong impact on me every time I watch it. I have an enormous amount of appreciation for you and your stories Nutnfancy. The personal life experience and insight of yours is a great inspiration to all of us (your fans). I personally am very greatful to you for all of the time and effort that goes into making these extreemly important video's. TNP fan forever- Matt
I'm a 13 year old Second Class Boy Scout and my dad is an Eagle Scout and a retired police officer and retired fire fighter and now works as a public safety officer at a college in a nearby city and he still sees some of his friends on the police department when they have a drug bust or when he bumps into them on or near campus and I got his American heart association medical book from when he was a firefighter and I read that 5 times before I even got that far into scouts and I have read it about 20 times currently, I'll add you on google plus and post pics of the medical book and my first aid kit(s) for scouts
Hey Nutn. I watch your videos often and love them. I am a Police Officer in Utah not far from Provo canyon, it is amazing the amount of fatal accidents that happen there. I constantly see what you describe with people not acting in situations like this. I like you, cant even comprehend not doing SOMETHING to help them, not just as a Police Officer but as another person. I love your videos, thank you and keep them comin'.
You are a brave man...I remember 1 time I cut my hand with a piece of glass and I could barely stand it...being in a situation like that would be tough...respect has gone up.
Thanks Nutnfancy. My search & rescue team and I were on our way to northern WI this fall to help with a missing child search. En route we happened on an overturned vehicle laying on the freeway. The single occupant had been the victim of a hit and run where she rolled multiple times and landed in oncoming traffic. We found the same crowd of people milling about but we had the mindset to respond (we aren't professionals), hacked through the windshield, assessed the situation and got help.
I'm always thankful when people try to help others no matter what their level of training or experience is. Even in this modern age with cell phones, advanced ambulances and helicopters sometimes people still need your help.
Thanks for all your videos. When I was in my 20's livng in Utah I was flying out at Point of the Mountain by the highway when there was a single car accident involving a young mom and her infant baby. I made sure 911 was contacted and ran over to do what I could. I saw the same thing - everyone standing around doing nothing. I was very angry but didnt understand that they were in shock and incapable. I knew only the most basic first aid and had no kit but thank God they both survived.
Sad, but real. Thanks for posting. After stopping a few times to render aid myself, a few years ago I got certified and worked as an EMT so I could do more if needed. One of the times (before I was EMT) a guy crossing the road was hit by a car and was laying in the middle of the road near an intersection. Traffic was stopped by the light and people looked out the window of their vehicles while waiting for the light to change. No one got out to check or assist. My wife and I pulled over to help.
You are my favorite content provider on youtube. You are a man's man. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to inform and generally make the world a better place.
Thank you for telling this story. It can be very hard for a lot of people to act in an emergency, maybe because they don't know what to do or how to help. The bystander effect is a very real part of human psychology. However these people can help the sheepdog, do not be afraid to tell bystanders to go for help, call 911, hold a bandage, fetch gear or whatever. Point at someone and single them out with a task and they will very likely do it. Some people just need a little direction.
thank you for sharing your pain and horrors. PTSD isnt a easy thing for EMTs or Medics to acknowledge sometime. Things like this will remain part of you for years and also helps one to learn better coping skills.
I live and work minutes from this location. That new road construction seemed to take a decade. I remember driving up that canyon and around that blind corner with my family before the new road. It's certainly much safer now. The key to CPR and first aid is practice. You can learn that stuff, and forget it quickly without a refresher course (I have). This vid motivates me to re-learn and stay current. Thanks!
Amazing how core memories teach us to be better prepared and better people. As a retired soldier and special agent, I know what it is like to react and how frustrating it can be when people fail to react. The motto of Army CID is "Do What Has To Be Done". I still live by that motto. We all should.
this winter on my way to work @ 5am I found an over turned car. I had to take a deep breath before going the car. I remember saying to myself, God I hope there's nobody in it. But I knew I had to check.I crawled down the embankment, emergency kit in hand to have a look. It's dark, cold, I'm the only one around. Nobody was in the car. You don't if you're going to be the sheepdog until your moment comes, then and only then do you find out. 1st aid & CPR trained cuz of vids like this. Thx nuttn
Woah! I've been watching tnp since about 09, never knew you were a lifty. I spent three years working as one, really enjoyed the experience. Love the philosophy vids, keep up the good work!
Great video! As a medic with 15 years exp I just want to add a few tips to anyone who stops to help. First keep safe. Position your vehicle so as to block lanes, or back far enough to warn around a bend. Too many times people have been killed or hurt when they got out to help and got hit by another car. Second, don't move people unless the cars on fire or going to go underwater or off a cliff... Third, don't move dead people unless they block the way to people who need help.
Life lessons are tough sometimes. A relativley small percentage of the population is able to respond to situations such as this. A slightly larger % can act if someone else can organize and direct others to assist. The rest are in shock and cannot respond even if it were their own life in danger. You did the best you could with what you had and made the right decisions. You make all of us better by sharing your experiences and wisdom. Carry on buddy.
Great video once again! You are w/o doubt a youtube legend and there is a reason why, QUALITY of product! Thanks for all of your hard work - keep them coming! I'm a FF/Paramedic and you really hit home with the importance of first responders doing something/anything..... The golden hour starts at the time of the accident and EVERYTHING people do before we get there makes a HUGE difference in the mortality rate! Kudos to you for stressing that importance!
If me or my family are ever in an accident i sure hope there are some guys like you close by. Even situations where you are unable to help, having someone with the victim for comfort is better than dying alone
This brought tears to my eyes, and memories of a rescue I was involved in as a young man. (not the blood and gore) But people (good people) just standing around while people were getting ready to die if not helped. It was very strange to me then, ....... and now.
Two of my brothers are learning to be medical doctors and my dad is a footdoctor. I feel I should get advice and help from them in case crap hits the fan 'cause not being the help as I could have is painful to me. Thank you, NutnFancy for your videos.
Being a Law Enforcement Officer, I have responded to many horrific traffic accidents. Many times the person on vacation has become the "First Responder" and helped out greatly, just like you did. You are truly a great person Nutn. Peace.
Great story to hear about and help people prepare. I could relate to that little boy with the head injury. Cracked my head when I was younger, you could see my skull. My mom was in minor shock from just seeing it so our neighbor (a nurse) drove us to the hospital. You remind me a lot of what my father was like, always willing to help strangers no matter what.
this is an inspiration because ive always followed a reasoning where if someone was hurt and no one was helping them and i was not busy or doing anything I would go help because, i can't imagine myself in that situation.
Thanks for taking the time to share... I was in a similar situation and can attest to most peoples inaction when faced with trama and adversity. Sadly, it takes the worst of times to shape and prepare us as humans. Keep on keeping on. ps my first car was a 1971 super bug. Work with what you got
Be prepared huh (rhetorical)? That's a very good point...and boy, you sure know how to make a point. Much respect nutnfancy for having such a big heart, and for sharing that story with us. The simple fact that you made that video could help countless others...exponentially. I hear ya load and clear. Looking for my own kit ASAP
Wow. I've put off watching this video for some time, but glad I finally dove in. Gives perspective to the FAK videos, among many others. A good reminder of the full meaning of being a sheepdog, and the special responsibilities being one bestows. Keep up the great work.
I remember when I was at the scene of a pretty bad shark attack age 12 at the beach and there was a girl bleeding profusely from the location of the bite. I was absolutely disgusted by how the people were reacting. I believe there is absolutely a need for more people with the reserve and determination to take charge and help resolve even the worst situations like Nutnfancy. All the best to him and all his family and friends.
I would love to say I would be the one to rush in and help, but honestly I've never been in that situation (thank god), and I have the utmost respect for you Nutn.
Another good story, nutn. Your depth of character is inspiring. I've known guys like you and I have some of those same traits as well. You're absolutely right. Nobody will help you.
nutn thanks, for being who you are. I'ts comforting at night knowing in these trying times that there are good guys like you on our side serving good ole USA. It started with me just checking out your knife reviews, then my son joined the military . I'm into the outdoors hunting ect.but,never really properly prepared and you've taught me so much. I truly thank you for what you do. You are a HERO bro. p.s I even have a couple labs. keep up your great work!!!! rock on.
You're a man to be admired nutn! I hope if anything like this ever happens to me or my family, someone like you is around... and I hope if I ever come across something like this that I follow your example!
Some people just don´t have it in them. I worked previously on a cruising ship and I was in charge of evacuation team. In my team was one woman who wet beserk even for slightest reason. When we once had a shootout on ship (two criminals shooting eachother) we had to evacuete passangers and she wasn´t able to walk, she was just hysterically crying. I know that she is not bad person for that but I lost my respect for her. Anyway Nutnfancy, great job and great video again.
Starting at 10 years old as a cub-scout, moving through territorial and regular army,being a prison-officer and then a first-aider at work I had almost 30 years of preparation for first-aid before I really needed it. I witnessed a guy run-down by a car and was the first to get to him and hold his head together; blood shooting out all over. The truest sign that I was doing it right was the respect and space the first-responders gave me when they arrived. Prepare for it and dare to do it folks.
You are inspiring man. Inspiring me and many others to be prepared to help those in need when in need. And I do hope I am if it one day happens. Great respect to you man, cheers
It's good to know and be reminded that good people are out there, thanks! My father (an ex-paramedic and now M.D.) stopped at an accident once to help, sadly enough one of the parties involved later turned around and attempted to sue him... I don't remember the situation if there was a death, there are so many instances (in Florida) of patients just dieing from old age or a nurse somewhere along the line making a mistake which results in my father (presumably the one with money) being sued..
That was very inspirational nutn'. The drive up Provo Canyon won't be the same for me anymore that's for sure. Thanks so much for sharing that, glad I was made aware of it through watching your First aid vids. Keep up the good work!
I was in a bad accident in '86. I was badly injured (spinal cord). Only one guy stopped and sent for help. There was not much to do medically, but staying with me for the 20+ minutes waiting for help was invaluable. It probably prevented shock and at least made it less traumatic. Victims are scared, hurting and confused and if the most you can do is be there then you're better than the car that didn't stop. He and I are still friends 23 years later.
This video has really given me hope again that an human beings we can be something great together. I know now why you spend the time you do training and being prepared. It's not so you can be some badass. It's because you care about your fellowman and want to sacrifice to be there when people need you. You have inspired me so deeply and I want to thank you for that. I used to be an Eagle Scout and I am going to try to be one again so I can help people if the need arises. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this story. I had seen this video back when it was uploaded, and it had a big effect on me. I couldn't help but remember it when I took my WFR (Wilderness First Responder) course through my school. Once again, Thanks.
Thanks for Vid Nutn. As a young 18 year old I was had to do the same as yourself. looking left & right no one came to help, sadly a 18th month old girl died. Then when I was 24 the same thing happened again, this time with a 19 year old fella hit from behind by a car at night. Again look left & right people in shock, sadly he died on head injuries aswell.I joined the RNLI (Lifeboats) & Red Cross to prep myself for the furture. As you said when things go bad you better be able to say "Rock On"
that's one of the best videos I have seen on RUclips. Lots of valuable lessons on responsibility for fellow mankind etc. Thanks for sharing this sobering video.
Props for the video, dude. Must have been hard to make this video, but it sure does bring all the points you mentioned home to us viewers. Thanks for sharing the story.
Thanks for the shout out to National Ski Patrol, they are to often over looked. Good thinking on your part to head to them. Makes me realize that I should bring my own medical bag around with me more not just to the ski hill. God bless you nutn and all of those who would take the same actions.
Here's to you SheepDog. Got a lot of respect for you, Brother. Where you've been, what you've done, the things you've seen; and your work to pass those things on and educate people. You've really inspired me of late. I'm now working to have my Peace Officers License reupped so I can go to work for my local PD, and I'm thinking of increasing my EMT training after this video. Thanks for all your doing...keep up the great work, and keep yourself safe, Sir! **Salute**
Thanks for sharing this real-world personal experience. Always had some form of Basic First Aid kit with me since my younger days while in the Navy. Off duty, took a Basic Responder course, passed the class, but not the certification exam. Didn't deter me to update both Adult & Infant CPR cards later on. Never been a Boy Scout, not an EMT or Healthcare Pro, but am always ready to help assist. Always had that Sheepdog mentality.
Great story man. Agree with ya 100 precent on people not helping. Hell I was working at walmart and there was a wrech [thank god it wasnt as bad] and only me and one other person went to help. Keep up the good work man.
@DerRelienT Thank you for sharing that First Aid story and it was awesome that you could provide assistance. Mental preparation for what to expect is job one. I am humbled that I have been able to help in this instance. Thanks for the support. -Nutnfancy actual
Wow !! An eye opener for me needing to be prepared. I have a beautiful little girl that god forbid something happen to her and I won't be able to help her the best that I could. Thank You very much for you sharing your experiences and knowledge. I greatly appreciate it.
I have learned physical tells for some time. The facial expresions you show tell me it was a lot more life changing then you made it sound. Solid mind nutn.. Keep up the great work.
After watching this video I inspected the first AID kit that came with my car and laughed. That thing went in my closet and i bought a good lvl 2 kit. I also enrolled in a fisrt aid training course they were offering at my college. Even if one person has done this your videos are making a difference.
A very humbling story. I sure hope that none of us are faced with this horror, but if the fates decide so, i hope that I or someone else can respond in a positive way. Once again, Kudos TNP!
Thanks nutnfancy. I just finished a Wilderness First Aid class today. Yesterday, at lunch I was wondering how I would react if I needed to use what I was learning in the course. It's been weighing on my mind since then. For me, the timing of seeing this video couldn't have been better. Thanks again-
i grew up in a family full of first responders and was taught as a young child you stop to help if you see an accident and that is what has led me to try to become an emt paramedic
you are a person with a good heart nutnfancy. for helping to save those lives on that cold, winter day.... respect! love all your review btw. keep up the good work and ignore the hyenas.
Thanks for sharing! I decided a few days ago to start building up a first aid kit and I also want to take some kind of basic first aid course. I got some training in the military, basically how to give first aid to gunshot victims, if body parts come off etc. You really inspired me to build this kit faster, and your first aid kit level I & II videos really helped too.
Great job Nutnfancy, I know the feeling. Here in Jamaica I was just seconds behind an accident also. My friend and I had to pull the survivors out. The car ran under the rear of a parked truck and off the road into a gully. the roof was literally "peeled" off. I took them to the hospital in the back of my pick up truck. I could not recognize the passenger. the hospital needed an I.D. of the patient. I questioned the driver and realized she was my Mom's co-worker's daughter. I knew her.
Great video Nutn and you make a good point, teach everyone around you (family,friends) how to take care of bad situations cause you may need help yourself someday. Your videos are incredibly inspirational to me thank you for making them. Consider me a subscriber for life.
I am sorry this has happened to you. but as you said, this has changed you and nothing can change that like life's experiences. The best to you and your family, nutnfancy.
I been watching the TNP for about a year now and this is my first comment because this video was so touching. I love the sheep dog concept! I just can't see how people could stand around knowing there are multiple people with life threatening wounds! Like I am astounded at that fact. I am ecstatic that there are people like me prepared and willing to go into whatever comes about. I know there are blood and guts. But there are also lives at stake! being a volunteer fireman is like doing...
I do no not you but I hope that was more people in these world like you like us and I admire and respect a lot you concept of friends and family hope this video cause the same effect in everybody that see it. Thanks man, a hug of someone thats doesnt know you but respect you.
It only takes a few seconds to dial 911. But you may spend the rest of your life waiting for the help. Nutn, thank you for being you. I hope I never have to find my self in that situation.
EVERY little bit could help save a life! I carry a little of everything in my truck JUST IN CASE. For this same reason. you never know what you will find. I have a First aid kit (nothing as good as some), Fire Extinguisher, Fire Blankets, etc.. I would rather attempt to save ONE LIFE then to sit around and let someone die knowing I did NOTHING! I like how you think, your kids are very lucky to have a father like you!
dear nutn, i saw this video for the first time a few months ago. I have always carried a basic kit but i decided to upgrade. I purchased many more advanced supplies and watched many simple first aid training videos. anyways today at work (i work construction so im outside) I witnessed a horrible head on. Because of you I was prepared and able to get to an injured man and use hemostats to stop arterial bleeding in his lower arm. it took emergancy services over 20 m to get there. Your video may have saved this mans life. thanks nutn
Your boys are lucky to have a dad like you.
I am alsmost reduced to tears, and I am man of 31. Thank you for you for this, this lesson is tough, but the world needs more sheep dogs.
I travel that canyon daily. I still hear of fatal accidents up and down that canyon. In fact watching this video helped me make my mind up and not to be one of those wallflowers when a scary situation occurs. I found myself in that situation while parked near a freeway in California.

I am so sad to hear such a tragedy, but I am also very proud of the actions of the three people who had the mentality to help out. Thanks nutunfancy

People process things differently and many excuse themselves from trying to help by making up excuses. They are nice people in every other respect that just can't function in a crisis. I'm with you.

Thanks for all your videos.

I already had a ton of respect for you, and this story seriously doubles it. People like you are who I strive to be like.
thank you for sharing your pain and horrors. PTSD isnt a easy thing for EMTs or Medics to acknowledge sometime. Things like this will remain part of you for years and also helps one to learn better coping skills.
I just want to say Thank You, to all the Sheepdogs out there.
I live and work minutes from this location. That new road construction seemed to take a decade. I remember driving up that canyon and around that blind corner with my family before the new road. It's certainly much safer now.

Underrated Video. Great story... Rock on, Nutn
Great video once again! You are w/o doubt a youtube legend and there is a reason why, QUALITY of product! Thanks for all of your hard work - keep them coming!

My mom was in minor shock from just seeing it so our neighbor (a nurse) drove us to the hospital. You remind me a lot of what my father was like, always willing to help strangers no matter what.
this is an inspiration because ive always followed a reasoning where if someone was hurt and no one was helping them and i was not busy or doing anything I would go help because, i can't imagine myself in that situation.
This video got me to reevaluate the first aid kid I carry in my car. Thanks for sharing your remarkable stories with us.
Thanks for taking the time to share... I was in a similar situation and can attest to most peoples inaction when faced with trama and adversity. Sadly, it takes the worst of times to shape and prepare us as humans. Keep on keeping on.
ps my first car was a 1971 super bug. Work with what you got
Wow that was great. You went above and beyond. Thats just amazing, just imagine if you didnt do anything. You really made a difference. A true hero.
Be prepared huh (rhetorical)? That's a very good point...and boy, you sure know how to make a point. Much respect nutnfancy for having such a big heart, and for sharing that story with us. The simple fact that you made that video could help countless others...exponentially. I hear ya load and clear. Looking for my own kit ASAP
Wow. I've put off watching this video for some time, but glad I finally dove in. Gives perspective to the FAK videos, among many others. A good reminder of the full meaning of being a sheepdog, and the special responsibilities being one bestows.
Keep up the great work.
I remember when I was at the scene of a pretty bad shark attack age 12 at the beach and there was a girl bleeding profusely from the location of the bite. I was absolutely disgusted by how the people were reacting. I believe there is absolutely a need for more people with the reserve and determination to take charge and help resolve even the worst situations like Nutnfancy. All the best to him and all his family and friends.
I would love to say I would be the one to rush in and help, but honestly I've never been in that situation (thank god), and I have the utmost respect for you Nutn.
Another good story, nutn.
Your depth of character is inspiring.
I've known guys like you and I have some of those same traits as well.
You're absolutely right.
Nobody will help you.
nutn thanks, for being who you are. I'ts comforting at night knowing in these trying times that there are good guys like you on our side serving good ole USA. It started with me just checking out your knife reviews, then my son joined the military . I'm into the outdoors hunting ect.but,never really properly prepared and you've taught me so much. I truly thank you for what you do. You are a HERO bro.
p.s I even have a couple labs. keep up your great work!!!! rock on.
You're a man to be admired nutn! I hope if anything like this ever happens to me or my family, someone like you is around... and I hope if I ever come across something like this that I follow your example!
This is sad. Thank You Nutn for being a good human
"You LDS?" Yeppers. Thanks.
Some people just don´t have it in them. I worked previously on a cruising ship and I was in charge of evacuation team. In my team was one woman who wet beserk even for slightest reason. When we once had a shootout on ship (two criminals shooting eachother) we had to evacuete passangers and she wasn´t able to walk, she was just hysterically crying. I know that she is not bad person for that but I lost my respect for her.
Anyway Nutnfancy, great job and great video again.
Starting at 10 years old as a cub-scout, moving through territorial and regular army,being a prison-officer and then a first-aider at work I had almost 30 years of preparation for first-aid before I really needed it. I witnessed a guy run-down by a car and was the first to get to him and hold his head together; blood shooting out all over. The truest sign that I was doing it right was the respect and space the first-responders gave me when they arrived. Prepare for it and dare to do it folks.
You are inspiring man. Inspiring me and many others to be prepared to help those in need when in need. And I do hope I am if it one day happens. Great respect to you man, cheers
It's good to know and be reminded that good people are out there, thanks! My father (an ex-paramedic and now M.D.) stopped at an accident once to help, sadly enough one of the parties involved later turned around and attempted to sue him... I don't remember the situation if there was a death, there are so many instances (in Florida) of patients just dieing from old age or a nurse somewhere along the line making a mistake which results in my father (presumably the one with money) being sued..
That was very inspirational nutn'. The drive up Provo Canyon won't be the same for me anymore that's for sure. Thanks so much for sharing that, glad I was made aware of it through watching your First aid vids. Keep up the good work!
I was in a bad accident in '86. I was badly injured (spinal cord). Only one guy stopped and sent for help. There was not much to do medically, but staying with me for the 20+ minutes waiting for help was invaluable. It probably prevented shock and at least made it less traumatic. Victims are scared, hurting and confused and if the most you can do is be there then you're better than the car that didn't stop. He and I are still friends 23 years later.
This video has really given me hope again that an human beings we can be something great together. I know now why you spend the time you do training and being prepared. It's not so you can be some badass. It's because you care about your fellowman and want to sacrifice to be there when people need you. You have inspired me so deeply and I want to thank you for that. I used to be an Eagle Scout and I am going to try to be one again so I can help people if the need arises. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this story. I had seen this video back when it was uploaded, and it had a big effect on me. I couldn't help but remember it when I took my WFR (Wilderness First Responder) course through my school. Once again, Thanks.
This Is the real Sheepdog. Someone who's not afraid to get involved, someone you'd want around when things go bad. A real stand up guy.
thanks nutin..Heroes are ordinary people stepping up in unordinary situations...Respect
How could you consider yourself anything but a hero. Love your series and I now have a level 2 pack in my wife's and my car.
Thanks for Vid Nutn. As a young 18 year old I was had to do the same as yourself. looking left & right no one came to help, sadly a 18th month old girl died. Then when I was 24 the same thing happened again, this time with a 19 year old fella hit from behind by a car at night. Again look left & right people in shock, sadly he died on head injuries aswell.I joined the RNLI (Lifeboats) & Red Cross to prep myself for the furture. As you said when things go bad you better be able to say "Rock On"
That's sobering.
Thank you Nutnfancy for making this video.
You are a great man, nutnfancy. The world would be a better place if we had more like you.
that's one of the best videos I have seen on RUclips. Lots of valuable lessons on responsibility for fellow mankind etc. Thanks for sharing this sobering video.
Takes a lot of guts to talk about something like this. Kudos to you for being courageous enough to share.
Props for the video, dude. Must have been hard to make this video, but it sure does bring all the points you mentioned home to us viewers.
Thanks for sharing the story.
Thanks for the shout out to National Ski Patrol, they are to often over looked. Good thinking on your part to head to them. Makes me realize that I should bring my own medical bag around with me more not just to the ski hill. God bless you nutn and all of those who would take the same actions.
In some way this was your "best" video so far.
I think you are a good man nutnfancy.... cant say that about anyone.
Here's to you SheepDog.
Got a lot of respect for you, Brother. Where you've been, what you've done, the things you've seen; and your work to pass those things on and educate people.
You've really inspired me of late. I'm now working to have my Peace Officers License reupped so I can go to work for my local PD, and I'm thinking of increasing my EMT training after this video.
Thanks for all your doing...keep up the great work, and keep yourself safe, Sir! **Salute**
most important video on youtube.
hartfelt and real
much respect nutn
Thanks for sharing this real-world personal experience. Always had some form of Basic First Aid kit with me since my younger days while in the Navy. Off duty, took a Basic Responder course, passed the class, but not the certification exam. Didn't deter me to update both Adult & Infant CPR cards later on. Never been a Boy Scout, not an EMT or Healthcare Pro, but am always ready to help assist. Always had that Sheepdog mentality.
Great story man. Agree with ya 100 precent on people not helping. Hell I was working at walmart and there was a wrech [thank god it wasnt as bad] and only me and one other person went to help. Keep up the good work man.
@DerRelienT Thank you for sharing that First Aid story and it was awesome that you could provide assistance. Mental preparation for what to expect is job one. I am humbled that I have been able to help in this instance. Thanks for the support. -Nutnfancy actual
Wow !! An eye opener for me needing to be prepared. I have a beautiful little girl that god forbid something happen to her and I won't be able to help her the best that I could.
Thank You very much for you sharing your experiences and knowledge. I greatly appreciate it.
I have learned physical tells for some time. The facial expresions you show tell me it was a lot more life changing then you made it sound. Solid mind nutn..
Keep up the great work.
i dont care what anyone says you are a hero nutnfancy, im glad that people like you still exist.
After watching this video I inspected the first AID kit that came with my car and laughed. That thing went in my closet and i bought a good lvl 2 kit. I also enrolled in a fisrt aid training course they were offering at my college. Even if one person has done this your videos are making a difference.
One of the best nutnfancy videos I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing such a difficult story
A very humbling story. I sure hope that none of us are faced with this horror, but if the fates decide so, i hope that I or someone else can respond in a positive way.
Once again, Kudos TNP!
I keep watching your videos and keep voting 5/5, but never comment that much. thanks nutnfancy, i learned a lot!
Thanks nutnfancy. I just finished a Wilderness First Aid class today. Yesterday, at lunch I was wondering how I would react if I needed to use what I was learning in the course. It's been weighing on my mind since then. For me, the timing of seeing this video couldn't have been better. Thanks again-
i grew up in a family full of first responders and was taught as a young child you stop to help if you see an accident and that is what has led me to try to become an emt paramedic
you are a person with a good heart nutnfancy.
for helping to save those lives on that cold, winter day.... respect!
love all your review btw. keep up the good work and ignore the hyenas.
Thanks for sharing! I decided a few days ago to start building up a first aid kit and I also want to take some kind of basic first aid course. I got some training in the military, basically how to give first aid to gunshot victims, if body parts come off etc.
You really inspired me to build this kit faster, and your first aid kit level I & II videos really helped too.
Thanks for this one, nutn. Very candid. That's what it means to be prepared.
Great job Nutnfancy, I know the feeling. Here in Jamaica I was just seconds behind an accident also. My friend and I had to pull the survivors out. The car ran under the rear of a parked truck and off the road into a gully. the roof was literally "peeled" off. I took them to the hospital in the back of my pick up truck. I could not recognize the passenger. the hospital needed an I.D. of the patient. I questioned the driver and realized she was my Mom's co-worker's daughter. I knew her.
In life-
There are those that step aside and those that step up. I step up. I know that you do to. Thank you for sharing, Bro!
This video has been on my mind all day.
Dude, we need more like you. That's all I can say
Great video Nutn and you make a good point, teach everyone around you (family,friends) how to take care of bad situations cause you may need help yourself someday.
Your videos are incredibly inspirational to me thank you for making them. Consider me a subscriber for life.
Glad to know there are people out there like you!
great story. i truly admire you. I can guarantee you that I will always be there to help those in need. That's why I joined the Boy Scouts.
Hats off to you Sir. Thank you for sharing.
You're amazing. You did good on that day, you are a hero.
Amazing story. Thank you so much for bring it to us, and for helping us to be better prepared to take care of each other.
I am sorry this has happened to you. but as you said, this has changed you and nothing can change that like life's experiences. The best to you and your family, nutnfancy.
I been watching the TNP for about a year now and this is my first comment because this video was so touching. I love the sheep dog concept! I just can't see how people could stand around knowing there are multiple people with life threatening wounds! Like I am astounded at that fact. I am ecstatic that there are people like me prepared and willing to go into whatever comes about. I know there are blood and guts. But there are also lives at stake! being a volunteer fireman is like doing...
I do no not you but I hope that was more people in these world like you like us and I admire and respect a lot you concept of friends and family hope this video cause the same effect in everybody that see it.
Thanks man, a hug of someone thats doesnt know you but respect you.
It only takes a few seconds to dial 911. But you may spend the rest of your life waiting for the help. Nutn, thank you for being you. I hope I never have to find my self in that situation.
EVERY little bit could help save a life! I carry a little of everything in my truck JUST IN CASE. For this same reason. you never know what you will find. I have a First aid kit (nothing as good as some), Fire Extinguisher, Fire Blankets, etc.. I would rather attempt to save ONE LIFE then to sit around and let someone die knowing I did NOTHING! I like how you think, your kids are very lucky to have a father like you!
