Do you have a medical pantry? If so what type of medications and medical supplies do you stock up on?
I only have a medical backpack
@@HyggeHomestead It's better than nothing at all Hygge. I have a few med bags myself. Every person has a different situation. I'm just happy to hear you have some meds & gear prepped. 😁👍
I have buckets from Refuge Medical for trauma and surgery things. I have swapped the tops for gamma lids so they can be accessed easier. Meds are in a system similar to what you have. IFAKS carried every day, including extra tq
First, when and if you are able to get a 90 day refill on a prescription drug for yourself or family member, and the funds provide, get it. Not all Rx drugs can be gotten in that quantity, and some insurance companies, Medicaid and Medicare may not authorize a refill for more than one month at a time.
The reason for trying to have 2 extra months on hand is specifically for the times that you may not be able to get to the pharmacy, the weather is bad or you are too ill to go, a lockdown has been declared, or some catastrophic event has happened.
Also try to obtain any various over-the-counter drugs or items that may be necessary for using or take the Rx.
@@robertbates5537 Love Refuge medical gear! I've been thinking about picking up their Baby birthing and postpartum kits. Because it's bound to happen at one point or another.
Our local thrift shop gets donations from hospice. We've found TONS of new, in package items like irrigation trays, syringes, catheter supplies, tubing, gauze, etc. They have tons of adult diapers, bed pans, walkers, etc. I stock adult diapers because if someone is very ill or injured they may not be able to get to the bathroom. Puppy pads can be used for that, too.
I didn't even think about that, great ideas and suggestions 😁
Great idea and advice!
Excellent! Adult Diapers (briefs) are an excellent choice for that reason. Pads, diapers. You never know when someone gets so ill they won’t be able to walk or even transfer to a bed side commode. Tons & tons of rags for cleaning. I’d add skin barrier creams to protect skin after cleaning. All this could be put in 5 gallon buckets. I have two for toileting.
Puppy pads would be priceless if you couldn't go outside for a while. We use them during hurricanes when going outside is sporty.
That's a great idea. I didn't even think of those things. Thank you for this idea.
I know it is sketchy, but knowing that doctors love to hand out antibiotics. Any time one of us is sick we let them prescribe and then put them into cool storage for more serious needs. May as well get some use out of paying 1200 a month for insurance.
Agreed brother! 🤘
Guilty of this as well! We also like to “borrow” things laying around😂 those blue disposable throw up bags are awesome I ask for them constantly
Looks Great Greyman, I also have a livestock 1st aid shelf.
Critters are always doing something to themselves!
Yes they are lol and a very smart idea 😁👍
Evening Gray. My medical pantry is not as well organized as that, is in totes, but it is on the list to do. I also have to incorporate all the medical equipment and supplies from my parents who passed this year. I have gotten to the point where i just don't trust hospitals and the commercial clinics and such .. there is a "feeling" in the back of my mind that i may just get an "accidental" jab. Anyway, i have also stocked natural and holistic medicines. I have a long way to go still. My best advice to anyone is what a paramedic from work said to me when he helped me put together my big trauma kit....know what everything is used for, when things are used, how to use them. ✔️
That's very sound advice brother 👍
I use shoe-box sized clear boxes with lids. I printed a list of the contents and taped them the inside of the box facing out. I can stack them anywhere. I also maintain a spreadsheet that I update every time I open a new bottle or package. And don't foget the Quick-Clot!
That sounds like a great system! In the next update, I'll have to show the boxes of Quick Clot and Celox I have stored. I just don't have the room for the majority of stuff. Like the bins of hemostatic gauze and large medical devices like crutches and other gear.
I yearn for a spreadsheet…
What an awesome system for you to have this! I was an RN for 30 years and I can't think of a single thing that you are lacking! The few things that came to mind were answered further down in the video. I know the small things like gauze 2 x 2's and 4 x 4's are things you use so much in any setting whether hospital or first aid usage, and even though you had a lot of gauze it is very convenient to have the prepackaged ones. Great job! I so wish I had a room where I could organize the few things I have, but a small apartment doesn't allow for this. Excellent video!
Thank you so much, Danielle! Coming from someone who has had a lot of experience, this truly means a lot. It really lets me know I'm on the right track. Thank you again for the feedback 🙏💛
I'm another retired nurse. I wish I had kept all the surgical tools they used to just throw away. I have a lifetime supply of 2x2s, tape and alcohol swabs.
Looks like our supply room in the hospital! Lol….But that fantastic Grey. I knew where everything was so in emergency I never needed to hunt for anything! Great job..
That's the goal. A few months ago I was visiting a small local clinic and that spurred the idea 😁
This was really an eye-opener for me as to how much I was lacking medical supplies in my preps. I have a handful of Band-Aids, Neosporin, some Tylenol. That's about it.
Also I have a suggestion from personal experience, if you want to store alcohol pads long-term. I would vacuum seal them. I don't know how many alcohol pads I've had dry out even though the packages weren't opened.
Thank you and I really appreciate the tip 😁👍
I wonder if sterile pads could be stored in a glass jar with a little alcohol in it?
Thank you for sharing!!! Most prepping people only talk about food!!! This was very helpful!!!
You are so welcome!
I'm glad to see this! I've done mine in clear shoe box type boxes. Eyes, ears, nose...etc. My family was already concerned about my sanity and level of preps but when I sent the pictures and descriptions of suture kits to a family member in nursing school to ask which one was a better kit, that's when the looks and snickers really started 🙄. Oh well. And yes I have a carry case with an animal first aid kit so I can grab it and go to the barn or the field.
Thanks for sharing, and I've gotten plenty of the weird looks myself lol 😆 Just keep moving forward and remember you are the smart one, because when things go bad they'll all look to you and be thankful that you were prepared! 😁💛🙏
Yep. Love them.
We use meds .. both RX & OTC .. for years past exp date!! Still effective just not as potent as it once was. Mfgs put exp dates so they can continue to take your $$!
Exactly, it's always a money thing, unfortunately. I hope most folks are hip to that because your absolutely right. 😁👍
I love it great job. ! I added chlorhexidine ( tractor supply $20). Great for cleaning or adding to homemade dog shampoo
Thank you Alford 😁👍 and great suggestion!
Great prep; I added it several years ago.
Add a nebulizer to your prep. Can add aromatic oils or vicks to help someone breathe better.
You are super organized! I am working on something similar. I think this is a great idea and I hope others pay attention. There has been plenty of times the OTC's have been in short supply.
Awesome! Thank you CSP 🤘
You've done a great job. You are right - organization and labeling is the key. You could store some of the small stuff in a clear shoe hangar on the door. I attached doors to my shelving unit made of pegboard so I can hang small stuff, like they do in stores. I'd like to see more supplies to deal with patient care. Copies of a standard form on a clipboard to journal symptoms, diagnosis and treatment so you can see trends. A way to transport a victim - whether it be a hard backboard or foldable canvas with straps down the side. More braces for sprains and crutches, bed pans, urinals, catheters and bed sheets are good to have. A spirometer is a must. And - hate to mention it, but - materials needed for handling a corpse. Last - a medical reference library. You are an inspiration. Keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing.
I really appreciate your feedback as well as some awesome suggestions! Thank you and I also wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄😁
Love the idea brother. Some great tips Grey
Glad to help brother 😎👍
I get a free first aid kit from Blue Cross every year (basic bandaids, nitrile gloves, gauze, acetaminophen,etc). In addition I have assorted gauze & tape, elastic bandages & splints, antibiotic cream, vapor rub, vasoline, clot quick, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, a copy of my medications, Pepto bismal, Immodium, EMT shears, suture kit, benadryl, epi pens, butterfly bandages, compression bandage
Really, I'll have to check into that. I know several folks who could use that. Thank you for sharing. I definitely want to work on getting some EpiPens. 👍
I would get a pink eye relief for your eye bin.
Also if there are any lactating mothers out there, breast milk cures pink eye. I nursed all seven of my children and used this method a few times. Breast milk also cures diaper rash. Apply to rash and allow to air dry. Takes multiple treatments for pink eye and diaper rash but works. Stay safe folks, God bless!
Really great info, thank you! Many blessings to you as well 🙏💛

*Mentholatum Rub. (Great for Hemorrhoids too)
*OB brand Tampons.
-Plug punctures and bullet holes.
-Plug bleeding noses
-Lay inside a big wound for extra absorbency
* PRIMATENE MIST - GREAT for Asthma Type symptoms if a RX inhaler isn’t available

- Vasoconstrictor for some wound bleeding control
* Head Lamps and batteries.

Very Awesome list Rebecca! Thank for sharing. I'm definitely going to add some of your items as I continue to build this med pantry out. Please have a wonderful evening 🙏😁
Love the OB idea!!! Thanks!!
I actually used the Hart stack shelves from Walmart. It takes up way less room than the shelves. And it has different options for organization to suit most people's needs.
I have those in a off-site location, they do work well.
I started with bins, but moved to dollar tree shoe plastic holders. I found they held more and was easier to access.
Thanks, Terrie. We were just looking at how to better this idea as we have more supplies to add. I'll have to check those out! 😁👍
I use the plastic basket-looking ones in the kitchen told hold small loose stuff like envelopes of gravy, mashed potatoes, drink mixes, etc.
I started my medical pantry last year and it's coming in very handy
That's great to hear 😁👍
I'm in awe. I'm going to watch again and take notes. Thank you, this is very important.
Thank you, and I agree that medical preps are usually not focused on as much as they should. Hopefully, here in early June, I'm going to do an update on this project. Thanks so much for watching 😊 🙏
Im starting to level up my medical preps all these pharmacies are closing in NYC like crazy
Really, that's quite interesting. I guess I feel that I'd try to have as much as possible in case of situations like your experiencing as well as full-on catastrophic events.
@@GreyManPrepping which is why I'm taking advantage of the retail downfall to get at least a year or two of medical preps I head straight to the first aid aisle and snatch up what we use. The best part is that it's gentle in the pockets we're talking 60 -70% off
Hi Grey! The key is to keep everything organized. Nice job! When you showed that all-purpose kit at the beginning, I thought what a great idea for the garage! I think I will get something similar, add a few other items and mount it on the workbench! :)
Thank you and agree 100% Glad you found the video helpful. Truly appreciate the support! 😁👍
OMG. I love the idea of the medical pantry. I have all my supplies in totes, but i think i will take a portion of my shelving and make a med section. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, I just felt having some readily accessible medical preps would make it easier for everyone in the home to know where things were in case of an emergency, and not have to dig through my totes 😁👍
That’s great! I’m hoping to get my medical organized on shelves soon. Mine are still in the bins.
Yeah, I have run into a few issues with everything in my bins, so I figured this would be helpful to find things quickly and keep an eye on my stock of supplies.
Fantastic list! Some items I have are for dental (Dentek found in some grocery stores, UTI detection and "treatment", for foot fungus and "Jockey" itch, menstruation pads/tampons and pain relief, lice comb and treatment, eye wash cup, magnifying glass to read small print, tweezers, ear wax softener solution and "stick" to remove, there is a finger O2 devise (the word escapes me) to get an idea of oxygen level which might be found in the grocery pharmacy section, pedialyte powder to help with electrolytes, ice pack bag so you can refill with ice instead of using frozen veggie bag that will defrost, enema bag, arm sling or large bandana, cane, candy is the blood sugar drops suddenly, you might already have the thermometer on your shelf. What I can do again is look throughout the OTC first aid section and get ideas from there. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed your specifics!
Thanks so much for sharing, Dana! I'm also glad you found this helpful 😊
I also have a medicine cabinet just for the critters that live in my house
🤣👍
Thank you great information! Your Medical Pantry looks Great!
**My tip is to have all of you prescribed medications be on auto fill with a 3 months supply because they will fill them way before you will need them this way you will have a stock pile of medication.
*Get as many Z-packs
(Azithromycin) as you can. When I travel they are the first thing
I pack especially when I go on a cruise!
*For pain management if narcotics are prescribed try taking 1 or more pills less and put them in a separate pill bottle you will be amazed of how many pills you have saved.
My pleasure and thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestions. Truly appreciated! 😁 Have a great weekend 🙏
I prepped some good sized non stick gauze pads. My husband is older. And his skin now tears easier now. So I use the pads and wrap with a sports wrap. I find it stays better than tape. And keeps it protected better. Especially in summer and working and sweating a lot. Regular band aids don't stick well.
Great tips Judie, thanks for sharing 😁👍
We have the three drawer storage cabinets. I hate them. The drawers are tough to open and it’s hard to keep them organized. I’m going to use your methods. It would easier to organize a lot of it in plastic shoe boxes and baskets.
I'm glad that this was helpful. I was hoping that this would spur some ideas for folks. 😁💛
Interesting reading “Diphenhydramine and Lactoferrin” for the rhona. Strangely, I took care of myself in this manner quite early in rhona. Worked and I’m still above ground. 😉
That's awesome 😁🤘
Yep all that stuff that worked for decades and now, it magically is ineffective now....🥸
The herbs that I always have are mullein, stinging nettle, echinacea and common kitchen herbs like ginger, garlic, clove thyme, rosemary etc my son’s allergic to a lot of antibiotics and these help for colds and upper respiratory infections I also have essential oils like oregano oil etc and different types of mushrooms I can only find turkey tail around here these are what works for us along with tinctures. Thanks for sharing I’m working on organizing my medical supplies but I feel it should be in a place I can lock up.
I love learning about and using medicinal plants. If the works truly ever come to an end as we know it this knowledge will be like gold. I do have this room secured. Specialized locks, cameras, motion detection, and I'm replacing the original door with a solid core. It's not perfect but will slow someone down where I or someone else can grab the "last resort" gadget if you get my drift lol 😆 I try to be careful with my words on these platforms 😎
This is a really good video thank you. I received some great ideas from it. One thing I have in all my bags is a printed spreadsheet I have made so I can record medications I have given or any medical data you want to record over a period of time for the patient. Yes you can jot it down in a book but having pre written questions like date time meds given etc already printed saves time
That's a really great idea! 😁👍
This is an awesome video Grey thanks for doing this, I got some great ideas for my set up at my new home.
Hey Bouje, So good to hear from you! 💛😁 Also congratulations on the new home, what a blessing! 🙏 I'm so glad you found the video helpful. God bless you and the family!
One thing you can consider is an AED. They can actually be bought under a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account believe it or not -- so tax free...
Really! That would be a great asset to have. I'll have to see if I can pick one up. 😁👍
I think it's a smart idea because currently I have all my stuff in a couple of totes and if I needed to get something really quickly. I wouldn't be able to. Because I would literally have to dig through the tote to find it.
Thank you, That was my thought as well. Figured I could leave the bulk items in the large totes and then relish as the bins run low. Plus it'll help me keep an eye out for restock 😁👍
Mouth wash, Chap stick, lotion, vitamin D, calamine lotion, feminine products, incontinence, and Trojans. And a first aid hard copy book.
Great suggestions, one of my favorite first aid books is The Survival Medicine Handbook by Joseph & Amy Alton. I have also accumulated over the years is Dental, Surgical, and Medicinal plants books. Hard copies is truly the way to go. 😁👍
Small hole I see is maybe some ankle/knee sleeves. Wrist splints sling for shoulders etc. looks good though! Sprains and stains happen a lot.
Great point, thank you 😁👍
Thanks Greyman. I have lots of totes full of firstaid supplies. I need to get them organized. I like what you've done with yours. Much Love ❤
Thank you Jan 😁💛 I figured having some quickly accessible and organized it would make things a bit easier for certain situations that may arise. Have a blessed evening 🙏🙏
Wish I had the room to spread things out like yours. All my supplies are in clear totes with lids. I have many of the things you have. Not sure if you have liquid skin and skin adhesive. Trying to prepare for cuts and sprains and such because I feel like we will all be doing things we normally are not doing. Have lots of ace bands and ointments for sore muscles. Love your set up. Thanks for video!
Hey, at least you're doing what you can with the space you have. Better to be prepared in some form or another. Thank you for taking the time to watch 😁 Have a wonderful evening 🙏
Great job Grey! I am going to steal a few ideas from ya 😆
Go for it! 🤣👍
Good info ty
My pleasure Donna 😁🙏💛
I like your labeled bins. I am the only one who knows where everything is.
Thanks Sue 😁
What a great idea
Thank you! 😁👍
Wow. Impressive!
Thank you Sharon 😁🙏
Looks great 👍. Love the T shirt
Thank you! 🤘
GreyMan great video very informative God bless you brother.
Much appreciated Andrew, Blessings to you as well brother 🙏
You gave me some good ideas. Thank you!
You are so welcome, glad the video was helpful. 😁👍
Yes i do 😊 for you to be starting out this is a really nice start!!
Thank you so much for the encouragement 🙏💛
Really good organization. You just inspire me to get busy. Thanks. 👍
Thank you Diana! 😁 Very happy to hear it was helpful 👍
Anti fungal cream should have its on bin. Include some anti yeast infection creams and suppositories. AZO tablets. Jock itch spray and so on.
Thank you and also great suggestions 😁👍
I also buy tons of used sheets. They're good for bandaging, reusable TP(especially flannel sheets), diapers, wipes, maxi pads, or sew PJs, skirts, curtains. I currently am using them to cover my tomatoes at night. Look up sanitizing cloth in a paper bag in your oven and sanitizing metal instruments in a pressure canner. Remember braces: elbow, knee, wrist, ankle. Consider compression socks, BP cuffs, TENS units, gloves & booties. A black light is good for: counterfeit bills, finding tomato hornworms at night & it has dental exam uses. You can use apple pectin if you dont have potassium iodide and look into liquid iodine applied to your knee for radiation exposure. Dont forget an eye loop & magnet to remove small items. Clove oil and cotton balls help with dental pain. In a pinch blue poster tack can hold a crown in. Cayenne powder helps stop external and internal GI bleeding. Also, medical grade canned oxygen.
Really great list, some of the items I have in the large totes that are on your list. My other issue is room for large things like crutches and other medical devices which I keep in the spare hall closet. I need another room dedicated to med preps lol 😆
Excellent video, TY. It's not just about prepping food 🎉 preach it brother 🙌
Sending love from Ontario 🇨🇦
Thank you 😁🙏
Very nice pantry setup for medical supplies. I have a little bit of similar items for my medical prep. Great video 👍
Thank you Stewart 😁🤘
GOOD JOB!!
Thanks brother 🤘🇺🇸
BEST ONE I HAVE SEEN, NOW I GOT TO CATCH UP!!@@GreyManPrepping
Good video Grey. As an ex health care professional, I also have a closet dedicated to all my medical stuff. I dont have a few of those items, like that nice dental kit, I have the other one you had. Im going to have to look for them. 😊
Thank you Bonnie, there's definitely a few things on my wish list I plan on adding here soon 🤞 I always love hearing from folks who have worked in the medical field when I discuss or show things of this nature. 😁💛
Extremely helpful and the labels are such a great idea. I have staplers and sutures to in my first aid
Glad it was helpful and thank you Sarah 😁🙏
Looks very good when it go's down you have what you have I think you have some great items I need to improve mine I like those clear bins also thanks for the video take care.
Thanks, Luke 👍 Glad you found some helpful ideas in the video. 😁
I have found having an eye wash kit and diaper rash cream (for chaffing) have come in very handy too. I really need to learn more about the suture kits. If you like natural stuff and you garden look into tinctures. I'm currently learning a lot of things I can grow here!
Eye Wash kit would definitely be a great addition, thank you. Yes, I do garden and grow medicinal plants, I've also been learning about all the medicinal plants that grow in my area. When on my hikes I try to collect & identify them. I was truly surprised by how much medicine grows naturally. 😁👍
@@GreyManPrepping you're welcome ☺️
Yes! I have a ton of things growing on my property here in Texas that I love to use and it seems like there is so much more to learn about! So interesting
@@DigitHomesteading agreed wholeheartedly 😁
That's solid Brother! Medical supplies and knowledge are simply crucial.
Agreed! Thanks for the visit KT 😁🤘
@@GreyManPrepping I'm always somewhere around 😉 Silently giving thumbs up. Once #GreyFam, always #GreyFam!
Great video mate. The best thing I have got is a skin staplers and also tooth repair kit.
Thank you and sounds like your on the right path 😁👍
I have prepped meds as well. Also some DME equip.
That's great to hear Joyce 😁💛
This is inspiring because my med preps are disorganized.
That was my goal, to give folks some ideas. Glad it was helpful 😁🙏
Great vid. Love the organization.
Aspirin is amazing for clotting. I feel like the Walmart brand is only like a dollar a bottle too.
Thank you 😁👍
I think that should have super great idea you never know when you have to shelter in place and if something goes wrong you have what you need everyone should learn to use what they have
Thank you Diane and yes your absolutely right! "learn to use what you have" 😁👍
@Greyman Prepping I would alphabetically put everything left to right. A - Z makes it easier to find. I would also label every medication with an easy to read label with expiration date
That makes sense, and I like the idea of labeling the meds as well. Thanks, Robert. 😁👍
I'm so excited, thankyou so much for this!
You're so welcome! I hope you find it helpful 😁🙏
@GreyManPrepping I really do, it gave me ideas. Right now I have one of those gear rolls that Canadian Prepper has with my family stuff in it hanging up. But like you, all the rest of my stuff is in totes
I have never forgotten about you...
@@KT_survival I never forget you either hun
@@WillowofMoonHaven Hey Rudy has one of those rolls as well 😁👍
As long you ( generic "you") have the knowledge and training, it's great to have all of this gear. Or, as you said, ssomeone who does have the proper training may need it and doesn't have it.
What about adding splints for all extremities joints, etc, along with hot and cold packs to help with the aches and sprains that could happen?
Some additional items might be :
Thermometer
Oximeter
Glucometer and testing strips/lancets/glucose tabs or gel
Crutches and or cane
Urinal (male and female)
Bedpan
Disposable adult wash cloths
Bleedstop
Timer
These are just some of the items that I have in my "medical pantry", along with various medications, ointments, creams and drops.YMMV
Thanks for showing us your impressive medical pantry. I need to get all of my stuff organized and at least in the same room LOL
My pleasure, I hope some folks will get some ideas from this. This is still in it's initial stage and I have so much more to add. That being said thank you for the suggestions you provided, truly appreciated. 😁👍
For your dental bin, get clove oil. It is amazing and works fast to relieve dental pain.
My wife had mentioned that as well. Do you have a specific brand you use? Thank you for the tip KM 😁👍
@@GreyManPrepping I stock the little bottles that are in the food flavoring section at the craft or Amish stores. Always store with an eye dropper and some cotton, too.
@@Kris-Marie Awesome, thank you so much 😁🙏
And oral gel.
Very impressive medical pantry.. I have a med prep stockpile that pales in comparison, but you have given some good ideas here., I need to step up my game.😉
Thank you and I'm glad you found some helpful tips 😁👍
Great video thanks for sharing , last week i ripped my arm open bled like a stuck pig i was glad i had Celox on hand man it clots fast.
Sorry to hear that brother, but glad to hear that you were prepared to deal with the situation. Celox is by far my favorite hemostatic gauze!
Nice stock of medical supplies. I have a lot but it's not as well organized as yours and I don't have any equipment beyond a minor surgical kit. I should get one of those dental kits.👍 Thanks, Grey. Blessings 💙
Thank you JT, yeah after watching Castaway years ago, I started thinking about dental lol 😆 God bless you & the hubby 💛🙏
And on the bottom I put the case with the wheels. So my whole advanced first aid kit is modular in case I got to pack up and go.
I have 2 jump packs loaded with med supplies. In the Army I was a combat medic and they are setup in the same manner.
I don't store medication in the bathroom. I use a purposed place with Medical Box. I keep 2 sets of medical kit with good mix. I am trained to use what I have. I have monitor machines - for blood pressure, pulse, temperature, blood glucose. I carry I-FAK pack 1 and Medical Box which is almost identical except for most of the monitoring equipment. I have small FAK's in most of my bags that deal with basics but the main I-FAK and Medical Kit in the house are First Aider Kits. The I-FAK is a basic field medical kit - Israeli Bandages, Torniquets, Air pipe set, basic bandages and over the counter type painkillers and anti inflammatoires, trauma scissors, clamps, scalpels, etc. I also keep record cards and a book with pen. I keep an inventory of the contents of all kits as required for a First Aider at work.
I do take the field I-Fak with me on long trips outdoors so that I may assist anyone who may need help - out these on the hills the quickest medical person is me or someone else trained like me, then its emergency rescue and mountain rescue teams who could take up to 3 hours or more to the arrive at the scene. I'm not fit enough and too old to do mountain rescue now so I leave it to the younger people. I am fortunate that my employers, a government department, make sure I get regular training updates.
Very informative Mark and sounds like you are definitely on the same page 🤘 That's a great benefit in regards to the training your getting. Thanks for the visit brother!
Great set up !!! I would love to see your herbal set up !!!
Noted! I'll add that to my future video list. Thank you for the feedback 😊 🙏
@@GreyManPrepping Awesome ! Thanks 😊
this is wonderful!! I dont have the room for something like this, but I am trying something similar with the room I have. have a wonderful day !
Hey that's all that matters is that your at least doing what you can in the space you have. 😁☕
Cheers! Long time no see
@@KT_survival howdy!! Hope you are doing well!! Been quite some time !
@@coffeefirstthenspeak6467 Yeah, it has. I miss good ol' chat vibe, but I've never forgotten about all good #GreyFam people. This channel greatly influenced my life.
Caplets and liquid are generally better and work faster than tablets
Agreed, but tablets have the longest shelf life. We have capsules in our standard med cabinets, but for long-term we store caplets. If you email me, I have some interesting material I can share with you. "Research Periodicals"
I would add crutches and sling and braces, things like that, ace bandages, ect
I have a few of those items in the spare hall closet and a bin of ACE bandages. In a couple of months once I fine-tune this idea, I'll have to do a follow up on this med pantry 😁👍
I love the video and it helped me alot with our preps. I do have one suggestion, dont jerk the camera back and forth, it is hard to follow and makes me feel wuzzy. I have subscribed and will watch regularly. Thanks
Thank you and yeah sometimes I get carried away with the movements. I finally ordered a gimbal so the camera movements here soon should be really smooth 😁👍 I truly appreciate the support 🙏
Your vicks vaporub type stuff can sub in for triple antibiotic creams on clean minor abrasions, etc.
Thanks for that information Brenda, it's greatly appreciated.
Between a Dr office and i pharmacy you are set. When i was a kid going to Dr no matter what was wrong you walked out with a shot in the arm and a bag of cold pills. 😂 Another thing aspirin when it goes bad it really has a bad smell do not take it if it smells. It can harm you. Great first aid pantry video keep up the prepping. Thanks Grey 🙏❤️🙏
Thank as always Linda 😁 and yep your nose is one of your best tools 👍
It's slow go getting supplies for financial reasons but I'm trying
Hey that's all that matters is your doing the best you can. 💛🙏
And I have several bottles of Wal-dryl (antihistamine) because I am really allergic to mold and again, in a grid down, no A/C or air forced heat, mold is likely to grow, especially here in the South where I am but anywhere really. I don't like to use chemical cleaners like Lysol but I have several cans of spray in case I need to fight that mold! ;)
My daughter has several allergies as well that we have to account for. Like you said living down here in the South without power can truly create some issues. Thank you for sharing your suggestions. Have a wonderful day 😁🙏
Steri Strips are better than butterfly closures.
Agreed, I bought some in bulk a few months back from a medical supply store that I found in the next town over.
A cool trick that i learned from a fellow medic, Afrin drops on a cut will slow bleeding and works great on scalp cuts that bleed like a MF.
Awesome info 👍

Thanks so much, Kimberly 😁🙏
How cool should you keep rooms that store food and medical supplies.
Currently, I have this room kept between 70-72 degrees with a dehumidifier to keep the moisture extremely low. That being said, I'm working on a project to keep this room at about 60 degrees with solar power & battery backup system for power outages. The ideal temperature for a pantry is between 50-70 degrees to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. Most homes in my area keep their homes in a range of about 65-75 degrees. The issue arises when your regular pantry which is usually located on the kitchen where temperatures can fluctuate due to appliances like the stove, dishwashers, refrigerator and so on as they all produce heat and can create moisture as well.
I would do more research on Zicam. For the longest time the medical research said it can cause damage to your sense of smell by squirting zinc through the nasal passage.
It's more so emergency use, I personally try to use more traditional medicines like herbs, tinctures, and so on.

Missing triangular bandage, ace wraps, SAM Splints
They've been added to this since then. I had 6 more bins to empty 😆
Happy late birthday
Aww thank you Terrie 😁🙏💛
I have one started not organized and missing a lot of items. Picking items up here there. Focused on winter preps and water right now
That's understandable, If we only had a winter here in Hot and not do hot Florida lol. I'm missing many items as well, I need to unpack more items that are in my large storage bins. Here in a few months I'll have to do an update on this. 😁👍
Awesome set up! Do you have a link for the storage bins you’re using?
Thank you, honestly, I picked them up at Harbor Freight, I'll see if I can find a link
@@GreyManPrepping Thank You, I’m headed to harbor freight this weekend ill pick some up!
I need an animal 1st aid for my chickens. That's all I have right now. Have no idea what to have on hand. Human boxes are ready though.... for most common things
Honestly, that's a great idea, your the 2nd person who has mentioned that and made think I need to put something together for my animals as well. Thank you. 😁🙏
research activated charcoal. This is my go-to when I have food poisoning or just some food that is really upsetting my digestive track. Make sure you follow directions and drink enough water with it. I am not a doctor.
I have made my own which for me was a tedious process, but it's definitely a great idea. I found a trusted site that sells it. I'll have to discuss it in a future video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😁👍
doyou have a pulse-ox in your triage bin ??? you miht also want to have a few of those. I'm not a diabetic but I own a glucometer that I bought in a thrift store. when I was looking for the single use cold packs to restockmy mosque's first aid kit I couldn't find those but I found the cold patchesthat work like the "icy-hots" but without the heat. a pack of 5 takes up half the spaeas one of those cold packs where you haveto pop the inner bahgto startthe reactiont hat generatres the cold
That's a great idea regarding the cold packs. I do have several pulse-ox I need to take one out of the storage bins. Being this is the first look at this medical pantry there needs to be more organization and several different medical devices added. I just have to unpack a lot more stuff 🤣 In my EDC bag I carry a smaller version of this along side of my trauma kit.
I do have a couple of things that might seem weird . I have narcan , syringes and a LIFEVAC kit for adults and children
I've been on the hunt for Narcan myself, for accidental or intentional overdose it would come in handy. I do have a few dechockers that are similar to the Lifevac. I need more space and shelving lol 😆 I probably could stock a small clinic with my large storage bins.
@@GreyManPrepping I think you can just ask any pharmacy I got mine from Walgreens
@@Ysharonsopczynski Really! I'll be headed there tomorrow 🤣👍
I hate to say this, but in my "saved for later" cart, I have cadaver bags. They are 10 for $95.00 Medline Body Bags, 36" x 90", Adult, White (Pack of 10). If people die, especially in a location like mine with no land around the apartment building to bury a body in, I think it would be a good idea to have such bags to store the body away from the living. I think maybe one could use a liquid absorber powder in the bag with the body. Terribly thoughts, but that's the time we live in now.
Honestly, it's a smart idea! My "group" has put a lot of thought into that scenario as well and also has done deep dives into sanitation disposal like human waste for one example.
@@GreyManPrepping it's terrible that we have to contemplate these things, but if you watch Threads, The Day After or Testament, you start thinking deeply about the possibilities. :( Large Contractor bags may work, too and might be more cost effective if you are working with the idea of having to deal with many bodies. Not everyone has a piece of land and even if they do, it could be many weeks before it would be safe enough to venture outside to bury a body. But a body would be hazardous to those still surviving. Terrible to have to think of these things!
@@Golden3000997 Yes I remember that movie. and yep I agree with you. It's the ugly part of what could happen in a true shtf situation.
