I have a boo boo kit in my trauma kit because I like the versatility. When you do that you just need to make sure that your life-saving equipment is staged properly.
At first i thought you meant as if it were a neck knife. I was thinking that's not a bad idea but then i read the rest of it and i realized it was a joke.
I remember my basic training back in 1984. When I was involved in an accident waiting for the ambo and the paras I was going into shock I told the cop what he needed to do for me. When the help arrived they complimented the cop on his job. He looked at them and said pointing at me"uhh it was him". The flight to Shock Trauma was airsickness hell. I'm still the only forklift rollover survivor 30 years later at Baltimore's Shock Trauma.
My girlfriend who often goes shooting with me and has guns of her own, said the other day that she wants to get medical training with me. She told me that she sees I have medical kits around and carry some stuff with me, but she wants to get training on how to use them. Especially if we ever end up in a situation where I can’t assist her with using the medical equipment. I told her we can’t do that since I only have limited knowledge from videos. And we agreed to both take a TCCC class sometime and get better informed and trained on how to use the items I carry with me in my car or backpack.
I took Doc-T's Med 1 & 2 a few weeks ago in GA. GREAT time. Doc's an amazing teacher and he has some cool twists for his classes you might not see anywhere else. Well worth the time and money.
In my experience the biggest mistake folks make is buying a kit of some kind and not learning how to use it. Many of these folks are the same that buy a handgun and only take it to the range for familiarization. Having items isn't enough, learning to use them effectively is a requirement.
Don't know if it helps, but North American Rescue (or something like that) makes a lot of trauma/medical content about how to use various bleeding control tools. When I took a trauma class the instructor recommended their content.
#1-B - not reading the BIG LETTERS. My fiance ripped open a chest seal instead of the compressed gauze because the chest seal package said "gauze" in little letters (as in "wipe blood away from wound with gauze to allow adhesive to work"). This was just a middling wound to the forearm from some barbed wire - bandaids wouldn't cover it, but nobody got shot or stabbed either.
YES!!!!! You're 100% right. It's no different from shooting: You don't rise to the occasion, you rise to the level of your training. I started out an EMT in high school, went to paramedic school, became a USAF flight medic, and eventually a respiratory therapist. 20 years later I'm now finishing a master's in nursing. I have countless hours in the ICU, ER, and out on transport; from the mundane to the unbelievably complicated in major trauma centers and in the field. When shit comes at you hard & fast, you have to move faster than you can think. Like anything else, it comes down to training and experience.
Was not prepared for Tony's bit in the video. Got all the emotions and things all stirred up in me. I cannot wait for this series! "Don't let emotion take over! When you get hit, keep going, keep going!" wow.
Sir. I get it. This will sound stupid, but it helps me understand. I work in vet med, where getting bit is a possibility with EVERY animal. We work with a level of anxiety of getting bit, but in reality as SOON as i get bit the fear varnishes and i power through the task with zero anxiety until completion. Then i can deal with the wound. Once hit, you don't fear getting hit. Makes perfect sense to me.
I’m a 911 paramedic but no where close to a combat Doc. That being said to save on money building medical kit triangle gauze serves multiple rolls including making a great tourniquet as we didn’t carry real tourniquets on the ambulance until the state made it mandatory. An Ace wrap also serves multiple rolls including making a great pressure dressing in conjunction with gauze. Just trying to save a few bucks
Great advice and reminder...I used to keep a kit with me while working around the yard. Rural area, limited neighbors and long response from EMS... It wouldn't take much, a slip on a hill while mowing...and I'm hosed! I need to go back to keeping it with me!! Thanks for the rmeinder.
Proper staging is important when the stress level goes up. I’ve seen good people fall apart when it’s their kid or spouse. X10 when it’s mass casualties like multiple gunshots or cars. Even SF medics label their gear and keep it in the same spot all the time.
Took Doc-T's Med 1 and 2 in October 2020. Great class, go do it! Doc-T seems like such an awesome guy. Great teacher and he seems to have a huge heart.
my range trauma kit includes chest seals, quick clot, eye wash, lots of gauze, tape, gloves, shears, quick cold pack, tourniquet, blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, band aids, mylar blanket and a sharpie for putting notes on the patient, (time tourniquet went on, similar). It all fits in an ammo can that is plainly marked first aid with white crosses. Both wife and I are trained.
@@WarriorPoetSociety Thank you sir. I shall look the kit over and see if there are things I can re-arrange. shears, gloves, then all visible And sometimes it is not bleeding, but perhaps eye contamination, or scope to cheekbone bruise. People have told me that I am overly concerned, but I've seen a lot of stupid over the years, including one woman that walked in front of my shooting table just as I was leaning into the scope and handling the rifle. No shot fired, but it took a while to steady my nerves.
@@MrJedi5150 2/3rds of the people we shoot with are also shall we say "fat old bastards" and an afternoon in the sun is more likely to lead to complications than the possibility of trauma. Wife is highly trained, me moderately trained. She could recognize different heart rhythms, I could not. That recognizing can save another minute in a crisis. We have enough trauma supplies in that ammo can. It is not a car accident trauma can or mass shooting can, it is single incident can. If we need more because we are in a disaster, then shirts will come off.
I took a "stop the bleed" class last week. Very introductory to be sure but I now need to have a next step class and I need to get a trauma kit for each vehicle...and my range bag! This was good....reinforced the class.
Teaching a tactical first aid course this weekend covering tourniquets, compression bandages, wound packing, and chest seals after my defensive pistol course. Hopeful to have a few more people out there trained to address an immediate need.
Yes I agree with these mistakes, however I would also add that having a med kit AND a seperate trauma kit are both equally as important. Yes you need blood to live. No argument there but you wont be needing to stop arterial bleeds and patch up sucking chest wounds on a daily basis. Your headaches, nausea, blisters, abrasions, first degree burns, upset stomach, paper cuts, etc is something you can treat really easily and most of the time on a weekly and sometimes daily basis. I'm not trying to minimize the need for a trauma kit and proper training at all, I just think that both items are very important.
nice as a 68w this is so important! Great Job DOC T, education is So damn important, boogaloo warriors take note and train with the equipment you buy and carry.
Even if you don't have much in the way of medical knowledge, there may be someone at the scene who does and who can make good use of it. And chances are they won't have supplies on them.
John. First and foremost thank you for my freedom. Second I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I unfortunately did not serve as I was medically disqualified but, I have learned so much from your videos the information is invaluable. Thank you and " party on "
These intros really make my day. Funny start to a serious topic. As always I appreciate what you guys teach me and are sharing with us. Hopefully I'll never use my kit but it's nice to know that the classes I took weren't completely full of it or a waste of money.
Cat TQ in Bushcraft pack, multiple day pack GHB and emergency SUV kit(and Rats) Sof-T in my hiking pack. Rats and Sof-T in home trauma/med kit .(I have both EVERYWHERE) only the items I’m comfortable and confident in using. Be safe down there everyone ATB from 🇨🇦
I buy the T.O.R.K from North American Rescue. As a Veteran you get crazy discounts when you sign up. Examples: Gen 5 tourniquet $$30 after discount $20, T.O.R.K $140 after discount $100!! It's totally worth it. I buy all my med gear from NAR. Plus there's room to fit more things if you need to. I always add more to the kit like glow sticks, 2 Sharpies, extra Tourniquet, etc.
I SO WISH I HAD THE MONEY TO TRAIN WITH YOU AND JOHN LOVELL. I NEED IT MORE THAN ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW!!! BUT thank you for everything you do brother!! I grew up beat on and mentally abused before school, during school from kids and gangs, and then when I get home after school.. I didn't have a social life or nothing... I can't tell everything, but I can tell you I have had a terrible life and need this.... I can't do a video, because I only have a phone and my camera is broken... See, there is my life....
Thank you. And that service record is incredible. How an about improvised trauma tools discussion? There are lots and lots of people that just can't get a few $30 tourniquite kits, all the chest seals etc... Is it taboo to discuss alternate means or no? I personally will take a belt around my leg over dying, a plastic bag duct taped to my chest or whatever over dying. I know it's not all cool and operator style but it could save lives. Just my thought as I try to gather kits for a large family. We can't all afford legit military grade ifak. Thanks again. Awesome as usual.
Good to know, when you must improvise,, but less reliable and more difficult and time consuming when time counts to get many things exactly right that are not made for the purpose.
People don’t teach it because it doesn’t work well. Duct tape wont stick to a bloody, sweaty, hairy chest well enough to seal. A good chest seal will. Belts are next to useless as a TQ. No one on a platform like this with a following this large is going to risk teaching methods that probably wont work. If you want back woods survival find a boy scout first aid manual.
Solatac!!! Solatac! Solatac! The perfect trauma/med kits for $50 Plus they come in custom handmade molle pouches that can attach to PC’s or chest rigs. You will not be dissapointed. The CEO has a personal twitter you can interact with for questions/concerns as well which is awesome!
My truck kit has saved the day countless times. From having superglue to patch a water tube, to ibuprofen and antidiarrheal meds. Ive pulled over dozens of times just incase someone needed help at wrecks. Ive yet to need two mags and a +5 plate that also goes everywhere lol
Your marketing is getting so much better I just saw your RUclips ad. Wish I could come on and consult with you guys to streamline and produce some protocols and methods to ensure success.
quick thought on those "training magazines". When a magazine is no longer usable to defend my life, it is disassembled and filled up with stick on wheel weights, and labeled for training. This way I have training mags that replicate the feel of loaded mags.
How about the temperature. I have my IFAK at my car all the time, but during the summer we can have more then 100 degrees Fahrenheit in it. Does it mean most of my IFAK things are expired and not good to use anymore?
No, most packaging for combat gauze and/or compressed gauze can withstand the heat. Tourniquets are fine and most Israeli bandages are double sealed. The only items you would have to worry about is vaseline gauze(for burns) or any other ointments or creams.
😂🤔👊 exactly! Most top medics can't follow medical bracelet for 2 stage IM injection needed for rare issues on 2ndary pituitary failure! Most meds always in cooler in bag matching bracelet pattern! Tattoo is next! ER can't handle cases because data entry about let me seize next is COMA! SMH I only needed Decca & Salt!
If there are item that are temperature sensitive as commented on above. Place them so they are insulated by more robust items. There are small cards or stickers that can be placed anywhere that will show the highest temperature that has been reached. Available in various temperature ranges. Also, there are see through silverish metalized Mylar-like bags or pouches that are very strong. They may help reflect any heating from direct sunlight. Even a small Sealed insulated cooler or something similar can offer a lot of protection. The biggest vulnerability will be medications, salves, local anesthetics, epinephrine in Epi-Pens, pulmonary inhaled bronchodilators or steroids, antibiotics, etc.
Just keep them in the shade. Anything out of direct sun is going to stay 20+ degrees cooler. Bright colored packaging will help, plus dayglo orange makes it easier to find among all the other crap in your car.
one handed, with either hand! If your getting injured, chances are its your dominant hand that get it. Or the hand your trained to use, murphy can be a **** that way...
I just got a great deal on a March medical ifak resupply kit it has all this in it, and I went to the local methadone clinic and I was able to get Narcan. It's not just for drug abuse, elderly people sometimes mix up or forget and take too much and suffer opiate overdose, it's small but can save lives
I wish Canada had classes like this up here. I have been in several insadents where thankfully i had volunteered as a medic/trainer for several years with a couple of football clubs then when i found out my daughter has type 1 Diabetes more training. Even with the the agency that i worked with they had basic first aid could not believe government was under trained when your job is protecting human life and you have knives that you have recovered off criminals. I have pushed for better training but my bosses dont want to hear me. They however want to pad their wallets
Actually a bunch of them are real, the other guy ronin and Mara both are real people too and Mara is even hotter in real life especially with a gun in her hands
What's ironic about this video is that while watching a Warzone stream yesterday I happened to notice a character wearing a TQ on their kit and it's staged the wrong way. In game it has the "Time" tab pulled all the way across the top of the TQ instead of folded over and tabbed to the side. Just thought that was funny.
At 8:30 you said use old mags for traing. Yeager told me I was an idiot,and to get traing for suggesting the same. Funny enough,I've trained at tactical response. He even made a special video about it after my comment on his glock48 shield arms video
I was just about to comment that! I’ve trained with both, and they both recommend each other, but it’s AMAZING how many things they teach opposite from each other.🤣
Great video, good information! You are more likely to need to plug holes than make holes... I just recently used some money I was saving for a new gun and beefed up my trauma gear in all my bags.
How comprehensive do you want your kit? The heavier and bulkier that it is, the less likely that you will have it WITH you. DocT has exactly the right idea. I have all the fancy gadgets in the world at work, but the stop-the-bleed kit I assembled for my wife's classroom is not a comprehensive medical kit. Gauze, tourniquets, occlusive dressings. No BP cuffs, pulse oximeters, glucometers. No airway management either. If they aren't breathing, they get a black tag. Mass casualty overwhelms just about any EMS (at first anyway) much less someone who has never trained for it. If you aren't willing to turn your kit upside down and dump it to speed up finding what you need, it's too big and complicated. We just revised the consist of all our bags at work. We lightened them by about 15 pounds. They were full of crap we'd rarely use and that we have in abundance in the truck. Its a strong temptation to overload a kit.
Lesson #1 - Off the shelf med kits are usually insufficient. I stopped to help a motorcyclist that wrecked this week, got the first aid kit from my wife's car (my first time looking at it - shame on me), and it was totally inadequate. What I thought would be in there wasn't - but, I was the only one there with anything and that was better than nothing at all. Lesson learned - make your own and know what's in it.
So I've suffered two Pulmonary Embolisms, now I'm on blood thinners. I do remote hunting for Dall Sheep, Moose, and deer on Kodiak Island. I've had med training in military, and was a guide on Kodiak for years. My concern now, is bleeding out due to a sever cut, or bear mauling. Where is the best place to buy quality kits that has everything a person needs. I see a lot of fly by night crappy kits on the web, and I don't know who to trust. Thanks again.
Liked the video ! It would be cool to see a part two sometime.Maybe a video on everyday things that you could use if you didn't have your kit or ran out of kit worst case scenario of course. There is a lot of myth out there that we think is true when it comes to improvising
Elastoplast, vasoline gauze, regular gauze, a flutter valve/chest seal, tourniquet, some super glue, duct tape and an airway...and a good staple gun. If you are comfortable digging and clamping, some hemostats (but if you skip the tq and dig in to clamp an artery with hemostats..i hope you are close to a surgeon (and Jesus). All the pistol courses here in GA are sold out, maybe ill take the medical class and pretend I am not medical just to see what i can learn.
As a retired firefighter/medic saw many bad things and what really stood out was the lack of home first aid anything. People just stand there while a loved one is bleeding out? But honestly the most terrifying thing in the EMS field is when you get to the scene of the accident and someone says I'm a doctor as they just stand there. Well buddy what have you been doing for the last 7-8 minuets while waiting for us to show up? Passing out business cards. First aid training needs to be pushed early and often for Joe public.
I have a boo boo kit in my trauma bag because I like the versatility. When you do that you just need to make sure that your life saving equipment is staged properly.
Good video. I would add not only proper training But also make sure the people around you know the contents of your kit And learn the contents of theirs
Love the video! I have been experimenting with med kits, and maybe think about adding Paracord to a trauma kit. You could use it for making a splint or stretcher with some ingenuity.
I keep trauma kits in my shop, my side by side, my range bag, and on two of my gun belts. In my shop I also have a standard FA kit that is clearly marked "Boo Boo Kit". When I am out scuba diving for fun or teaching I keep a large combined boo boo and trauma kit. I inspect them often and several times a year, and after every outing I inspect them s can any out dated or questionable items are replaced and used in my first aid classes.

How an about improvised trauma tools discussion? There are lots and lots of people that just can't get a few $30 tourniquite kits, all the chest seals etc... Is it taboo to discuss alternate means or no?
I personally will take a belt around my leg over dying, a plastic bag duct taped to my chest or whatever over dying. I know it's not all cool and operator style but it could save lives. Just my thought as I try to gather kits for a large family. We can't all afford legit military grade ifak. Thanks again. Awesome as usual.
Papi Maximus drinking from the garden hose, stopping bleeding with tampons, standing up in the car... Good times.
Papi Maximus here in Arizona the water sitting in the hose can get boil your face off hot too. Double threat.
Good to know, when you must improvise,, but less reliable and more difficult and time consuming when time counts to get many things exactly right that are not made for the purpose.
People don’t teach it because it doesn’t work well. Duct tape wont stick to a bloody, sweaty, hairy chest well enough to seal. A good chest seal will. Belts are next to useless as a TQ. No one on a platform like this with a following this large is going to risk teaching methods that probably wont work. If you want back woods survival find a boy scout first aid manual.
Medic22 some teach it.

Solatac!!! Solatac! Solatac! The perfect trauma/med kits for $50 Plus they come in custom handmade molle pouches that can attach to PC’s or chest rigs. You will not be dissapointed. The CEO has a personal twitter you can interact with for questions/concerns as well which is awesome!
My truck kit has saved the day countless times. From having superglue to patch a water tube, to ibuprofen and antidiarrheal meds.
Ive pulled over dozens of times just incase someone needed help at wrecks.
Ive yet to need two mags and a +5 plate that also goes everywhere lol

Your marketing is getting so much better I just saw your RUclips ad. Wish I could come on and consult with you guys to streamline and produce some protocols and methods to ensure success.
quick thought on those "training magazines". When a magazine is no longer usable to defend my life, it is disassembled and filled up with stick on wheel weights, and labeled for training. This way I have training mags that replicate the feel of loaded mags.
How about the temperature. I have my IFAK at my car all the time, but during the summer we can have more then 100 degrees Fahrenheit in it. Does it mean most of my IFAK things are expired and not good to use anymore?
No, most packaging for combat gauze and/or compressed gauze can withstand the heat. Tourniquets are fine and most Israeli bandages are double sealed. The only items you would have to worry about is vaseline gauze(for burns) or any other ointments or creams.
😂🤔👊 exactly! Most top medics can't follow medical bracelet for 2 stage IM injection needed for rare issues on 2ndary pituitary failure! Most meds always in cooler in bag matching bracelet pattern! Tattoo is next! ER can't handle cases because data entry about let me seize next is COMA! SMH I only needed Decca & Salt!
If there are item that are temperature sensitive as commented on above. Place them so they are insulated by more robust items. There are small cards or stickers that can be placed anywhere that will show the highest temperature that has been reached. Available in various temperature ranges. Also, there are see through silverish metalized Mylar-like bags or pouches that are very strong. They may help reflect any heating from direct sunlight. Even a small Sealed insulated cooler or something similar can offer a lot of protection. The biggest vulnerability will be medications, salves, local anesthetics, epinephrine in Epi-Pens, pulmonary inhaled bronchodilators or steroids, antibiotics, etc.
Just keep them in the shade. Anything out of direct sun is going to stay 20+ degrees cooler. Bright colored packaging will help, plus dayglo orange makes it easier to find among all the other crap in your car.
Meds are temp sensitive but gear is relatively unaffected.
You really have to have this stuff on your person and READY to use one-handed if it's going to be useable.
Yes, EDC in Cargo Pocket and on Ankle.
Stage them TQs right, if you can’t pop it open one handed and put it on yourself it’s staged wrong.
one handed, with either hand! If your getting injured, chances are its your dominant hand that get it. Or the hand your trained to use, murphy can be a **** that way...
Trouble is I'm already carrying too many grenades.
WFR is a great start for medical training but GSW requires specific training. Great video. A list would make it better.
Holy crap! 18?!?!?! No kinda way I would ever mess with him.
Nice. Was just talking to the wife about our survival bag med kit. Thank you
Hey man ime a kid from south afrika ime 14 and i want to become just like you love your videos
Heindru Labuschagne Do it kid .......it’s cool !
Thank you
Education above all else. If you know how the body works and can defend yourself you're better off than others.
OK...you have a plan. Now, work your plan. Take classes and start the process! Good on you!!
I just got a great deal on a March medical ifak resupply kit it has all this in it, and I went to the local methadone clinic and I was able to get Narcan. It's not just for drug abuse, elderly people sometimes mix up or forget and take too much and suffer opiate overdose, it's small but can save lives
I like to see the temple index being utilized in the promo.
Yeagers head's gonna explode if he hears John mention not tossing old mags again.
Does Yeager throw them in the ditch or what?
Nice to see Doc T back on
#1 med kit mistake: Not using it and letting a victim bleed out. See Ryan Whitaker in Phoenix shooting.
Extremely useful Video Thank you I have learned a TON of ideas. GREAT VID.
ALL bleeding eventually stops.
GREAT information...THANKS!
Now to figure out where to place them on my active shooter plate carrier.
Where they are readily assessible
Thank you. To know where I'm coming from; a few words: Sand hill, 1/38, harmony church, turning blue
Just got my trauma kit in the mail TODAY and is deployed in my truck now!
Noticed I was no longer subscribed to your channel today so I of course fixed that. Google up to it's little tricks.
That’s getting more common unfortunately 😩
Absolutely invaluable information more of this please
I wish Canada had classes like this up here. I have been in several insadents where thankfully i had volunteered as a medic/trainer for several years with a couple of football clubs then when i found out my daughter has type 1 Diabetes more training.
Even with the the agency that i worked with they had basic first aid could not believe government was under trained when your job is protecting human life and you have knives that you have recovered off criminals.
I have pushed for better training but my bosses dont want to hear me. They however want to pad their wallets
WOAH I didn't know they based the new COD character on an actual person!
Yeah man! Been following him for years he’s @realworldtactical on Instagram, check him out he’s a total beast.
Actually a bunch of them are real, the other guy ronin and Mara both are real people too and Mara is even hotter in real life especially with a gun in her hands
Your late
But aye you learn sum new everyday
What's ironic about this video is that while watching a Warzone stream yesterday I happened to notice a character wearing a TQ on their kit and it's staged the wrong way. In game it has the "Time" tab pulled all the way across the top of the TQ instead of folded over and tabbed to the side. Just thought that was funny.
Tony is a beast!!!
Danggggg I wish there were more classes available with DocT.
At 8:30 you said use old mags for traing. Yeager told me I was an idiot,and to get traing for suggesting the same. Funny enough,I've trained at tactical response.
He even made a special video about it after my comment on his glock48 shield arms video
I was just about to comment that! I’ve trained with both, and they both recommend each other, but it’s AMAZING how many things they teach opposite from each other.🤣
Great video, good information! You are more likely to need to plug holes than make holes... I just recently used some money I was saving for a new gun and beefed up my trauma gear in all my bags.
How comprehensive do you want your kit? The heavier and bulkier that it is, the less likely that you will have it WITH you. DocT has exactly the right idea. I have all the fancy gadgets in the world at work, but the stop-the-bleed kit I assembled for my wife's classroom is not a comprehensive medical kit. Gauze, tourniquets, occlusive dressings. No BP cuffs, pulse oximeters, glucometers. No airway management either. If they aren't breathing, they get a black tag. Mass casualty overwhelms just about any EMS (at first anyway) much less someone who has never trained for it. If you aren't willing to turn your kit upside down and dump it to speed up finding what you need, it's too big and complicated. We just revised the consist of all our bags at work. We lightened them by about 15 pounds. They were full of crap we'd rarely use and that we have in abundance in the truck. Its a strong temptation to overload a kit.
Lesson #1 - Off the shelf med kits are usually insufficient. I stopped to help a motorcyclist that wrecked this week, got the first aid kit from my wife's car (my first time looking at it - shame on me), and it was totally inadequate. What I thought would be in there wasn't - but, I was the only one there with anything and that was better than nothing at all. Lesson learned - make your own and know what's in it.
Will WPS be selling the RATS style tourniquet discussed by DocT?
More vids from Doc J - We love those JROTC jokers!
So I've suffered two Pulmonary Embolisms, now I'm on blood thinners. I do remote hunting for Dall Sheep, Moose, and deer on Kodiak Island. I've had med training in military, and was a guide on Kodiak for years. My concern now, is bleeding out due to a sever cut, or bear mauling. Where is the best place to buy quality kits that has everything a person needs. I see a lot of fly by night crappy kits on the web, and I don't know who to trust. Thanks again.
I'll second that, who do you trust for med gear?
medical gear outfitters Skinny Medics company..good stuff.
@@dawg7750 Thank you
www.narescue.com
Damn near anything you'd ever need for a med kit.
Zeb Thomas thank you...I appreciate it.
WPSN ! Count me in!😎😎🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank y’all for the video.
Great video. All these things I need and need to know how to do/use.
Bring your Med Training course to Washington/Oregon. I'll be there.
Liked the video ! It would be cool to see a part two sometime.Maybe a video on everyday things that you could use if you didn't have your kit or ran out of kit worst case scenario of course. There is a lot of myth out there that we think is true when it comes to improvising
So I guess if we want the full boxing match we have to get WPSN ?
Heh! NAR is one of my biggest clients! Great to see them in your kit!
Doc T what an awesome dude
That intro was gold!
Great show as always!
Is give a thumbs up just for the intro but a great video.
👍 air goes in out blood goes round and round. Any deviation is a problem.
Elastoplast, vasoline gauze, regular gauze, a flutter valve/chest seal, tourniquet, some super glue, duct tape and an airway...and a good staple gun. If you are comfortable digging and clamping, some hemostats (but if you skip the tq and dig in to clamp an artery with hemostats..i hope you are close to a surgeon (and Jesus). All the pistol courses here in GA are sold out, maybe ill take the medical class and pretend I am not medical just to see what i can learn.
As a retired firefighter/medic saw many bad things and what really stood out was the lack of home first aid anything. People just stand there while a loved one is bleeding out? But honestly the most terrifying thing in the EMS field is when you get to the scene of the accident and someone says I'm a doctor as they just stand there. Well buddy what have you been doing for the last 7-8 minuets while waiting for us to show up? Passing out business cards. First aid training needs to be pushed early and often for Joe public.
I have a boo boo kit in my trauma bag because I like the versatility. When you do that you just need to make sure that your life saving equipment is staged properly.
Good video. I would add not only proper training But also make sure the people around you know the contents of your kit And learn the contents of theirs
Love the video! I have been experimenting with med kits, and maybe think about adding Paracord to a trauma kit. You could use it for making a splint or stretcher with some ingenuity.
Your finger was bleeding during a med kit video; I like it 😆
I keep trauma kits in my shop, my side by side, my range bag, and on two of my gun belts. In my shop I also have a standard FA kit that is clearly marked "Boo Boo Kit". When I am out scuba diving for fun or teaching I keep a large combined boo boo and trauma kit. I inspect them often and several times a year, and after every outing I inspect them s can any out dated or questionable items are replaced and used in my first aid classes.
Thanks for the name drop, Bro!
OUTSTANDING!
