  • By far one of the most ignored preps people leave out is a quality medical kit. Whether you purchase a kit or build your own, quality medical equipment and the training to use it will be the difference between life and death.

    Sucking chest wounds, sutures, and SAM splints oh my! Mechanically, I understand the idea of keeping blood in the body, oxygenated, and circulating. I haven't taken a first aid or CPR course in 20 years. I think I need to take another class or two so I understand this equipment and how to use it.

    The emergency Sharpie is used for poisonous snake bite strike/swelling time. Also tourniquet on limb time for ER/ Vascular Sugeon to asess if a limb can be saved. Humble FYI.

    • @PracticalPreparedness
      @PracticalPreparedness  11 месяцев назад

      Great reminder! Keep the sharpie near the tourniquet too so not fumbling when you need it.

      If you ever need to apply a tourniquet be sure to write the time you applied it on the limb with a sharpie in case you can't communicate with Dr

    Speaking only in my own tenure in emergency services, you gotta train. You have to put yourself under stress and learn how to correctly apply a pressure bandage, a tourniquet, and a chest seal. Just remember, you can patch someone up, work toward stabilizing a victim, but that person will ultimately need a trained doctor. Knowing who can do these things in your community is central, and ensuring there are the tools for this is equally important.

    Taking a tccc course is always a good move. Each vehicle should have one of these bags. If you have a healthcare spending account, many of these supplies qualify as an allowable expense. Amazon automatically list FSA approved status.

    I have an IFAK in my truck, car, and motorcycle. I also have one on my body armor and another on my gun belt. The house has a major kit. We require every "Prospect" in our Motocycle Club to also have an IFAK on them at all functions. While SHTF hasn't happened yet, sadly I've had to pull the kits out 4 times for accidents (and God knows how many boo-boos), unfortunately I wasn't able to save one person in an accident.

    Train Train Train! Gear is useless if you don’t know how to use it.
    Let me know what you think of the kit!
    Remember, you don't HAVE to buy a kit. If you have the time, this type of vid gives you ideas for what to include in a quality DIY kit.
    Thanks for watching!

    • @JonTanOsb
      @JonTanOsb 11 месяцев назад +2

      Wow, the kit puts my large St. John's Ambulance bag to shame, and I thought it carried a lot.
      The first thing I added to it, and the little travel kit, was band-aids. For the little boo-boos.
      After watching this, I'm going to put in some triple antibiotic cream and pain meds, too.

      Looks like a well-rounded kit. The NPAs and surgical kits? Yes, please get training on how to use these. I was a surgical technician and you can really mess up if you don't know what you're doing. Preventing further infection is key to survival.

    Very informative! Everyone should carry a medical kit these days. One in the car and one at home. I have all these bases covered. Dont forget folks make sure you practice first aid for every situation most prone to happen. And your home kit make sure you have access to medicines from the doctor.

    Nice review. Many of these premade bags/packs are priced out of my range. I have built midsize packs for myself and family members to keep in their vehicles. Basic boo-boo to stop the bleeding. I've kept it semi-simple because most of my family don't train as often as they should. I'm trying to go over one item in each pack during family gatherings.

    • @PracticalPreparedness
      @PracticalPreparedness  11 месяцев назад +1

      Thats smart! I set up a few for fam as well and rushed it in 1 sitting. Guaranteed that less than 10% of it stuck haha

    Thanks for another great video! I recently built 4 med kits with trauma items. I have a bigger one at home and one smaller in my get home packs in our three cars. While I have a suture kits, I don't yet have a skin stapler. That Sharpie should be with the tourniquet to mark the time it was applied. I would also add some saline to clean wounds and iodine pills just in case.

    • @PracticalPreparedness
      @PracticalPreparedness  11 месяцев назад +1

      Great advise. I picked up a couple saline bottles to apply to wounds to your point awhile back. Thanks for sharing!

  • @flyoverkid55
    @flyoverkid55 11 месяцев назад +1

    Refuge Medical is a GREAT resource, the kits they offer are very well crafted with quality products. But none of it will matter if you don't know HOW to use it and when. The knowledge needed to use larger kits can't be learned from reading.
    As a former paramedic, I spent years [ both military and civilian ] learning and acquiring practical knowledge. If you're going to spend hundreds on a larger medical kit, don't waste your money if you can't use this stuff knowledgably. A good IFAK is recommended for everyone, most of the contents can be used with a modicum of instruction., and everyone in your family should have their own. The bigger and more comprehensive kits can be a Godsend if you know how to use them.
    Keep in mind that some of the items in these larger kits won't last more than a year or two. The liquid impregnated items, medications, and even gloves will deteriorate over time.
    None of us are born with the knowledge and skills needed to " make lemonade from lemons ", I started form zero and kept learning. Get started, Red Cross classes are not expensive and don't take a great deal of time. If you have the desire, I recommend EMT training, it's the best bang for your buck.
    Stop equivocating, get moving.

    • @PracticalPreparedness
      @PracticalPreparedness  11 месяцев назад +1

      I have EMT training and it was a great foundation and put me in hospitals where you are exposed to different injuries. Any way to get hands-on practice, to your point, I say go for it (obviously through legal and moral means!)

    I know that everybody should take a course on how to use more advanced medical gear obviously because you don’t wanna make something worse or hurt somebody accidentally but I’m wondering if there’s a book out there that we can buy that does actually tell you how to use that stuff just in case You haven’t had time to get the training and this shit has actually hit the fan and nobody’s coming to help you. It would be better than nothing. If anybody can recommend an inexpensive book, that kind of covers how to use such medical implements that would be awesome.
