- First Aid in the outdoors! These are the most important items to bring in your first aid kit for wilderness camping, hiking or other activities.
Matti is here listing 6 very important things you need in your first aid box or first aid bag.
Both of us have done several NOLS Wilderness Medicine courses over the years which have learned us a lot and we also have very long experience taking care of people out in the bush with small injuries and serious life-threatening conditions.

Very important. Thanks!
The rubber gloves are handy also when you cut your finger, so you don't bleed in your winter gloves.
CPR, if you have no clue and you are lucky enough to have cellphone or radio, emergency services can instruct you how to do it.
I carry a couple aspirin and tylenol, i'm old so it is handy for that stiff neck or back I am gonna have in the morning.
The best stuff is when you can use it for multi purpose stuff.

An Epipen as you say gives you a small window.
If you need a bigger window then you can ask for two Epipens.
I was recently told that there is more than one dose in each one.
A bit Macgyver maybe?
If you take the cap off the back, avoiding the super powerful spring which shoots out, you will see the syringe. YMMV.
Hi Matti , i'm curious if you have a first aid kit for the dogs and what do you have inside , i think this is a very important item to have if people hike , mush or travel with dogs . IN alleyways have with me pils for diarrhea , small suture kit and different bandages for the dogs.
Also nice to have a antihistamine in case the patient is allergic to your latex gloves. 😝
Nitrile gloves are not as robust as latex ones, but safer.
Your videos are informative, logical, funny and the scenery is beautiful. Thank you
For heart problems usually you give ASA/AAS 81mg, it has been used as a safe and cheap way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots. Aspirin does this by thinning out the blood and preventing blood clots from forming, which may block arteries. And one of my friend is deadly allergic to latex so would not use those gloves to treat her, do get yourself Nitrile Gloves. Nitrile is the best alternative to latex gloves because it is just as durable, comfortable, and functional as latex but without the risk of allergies. Nitrile gloves provide a high level of protection against certain chemicals, biological agents, and physical damage like tears and punctures. CPR mask, got plenty of those in my bag, first to protect the individual and also protecting myself, plus you need to know what you are doing take courses so you are better prepared. If you want the responsibility to save lives take First Aid courses, you will be much more knowledgeable and you will feel much more confident and less dangerous to your community...lol! Nice video really quite helpful, well done mate.
Happy new year ! very interesting video and fun to watch as usual !
Thank you for this vid Matti! Love your content. Looking forward to your tips on good outdoor pants!
Another great video Matti, will up date my first Aid kit👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Keep going
(We love you)
Bra och välgjort som vanligt! 👍Tack för värdefull information😀
Well done! Nice information. Crow
Happy New Year to both of you and all the viewers.
I look forward to future videos on "comfort" items for sprains, cuts, blisters, frostbite etc. as well as first aid for the dogs.
That was helpful. Never thought about glucose for diabetic emergency. By the way - that part with "I always bring them... No I'm not. I try to always bring them." is a testament to your honesty.
Great tips as usual Matti. I always carry all of those things, except gloves. I will complete the kit with a pair. Excellent idea. Even though the best safety equipment is between your ears, accidents can and eventually will happen. Happy new year! Keep it up! Take care.
Great video Matti and very useful. Did you ever make the other videos you mentioned on what is in your different first-aid kits
Thanks for the avise Matti, I would never think to carry gloves and antihistaminic to my camping....
Wohoo, the first Video of 2023 😎
A good saying here is
3 is 2
2 is 1
1 is none
Regarding the 2 epipens to carry
How TRUE!
9:46 Make CPR so that you won't feel so bad when the person dies. You will feel like you tried.
I have never tried CPR in a real situation. But I think it’s really important to try. Otherwise you will maybe blame yourself during the rest of your life.
The chances to succeed with CPR out in the wild is very low. It’s very low even at a hospital. I heard (I haven’t checked that) something about 15% in a hospital…
/Matti
Yeah... so different depending on where and when and how you are in the situation you are.
Down here the top two things are compression bandages and cooling spray.
Down WHERE?

It's been a while since I put my first aid kit together. I discovered my EpiPen expired Sep 2021, my IOSAT pills expired Apr 2018, Benadryl expired Jun 2021; I'm sure the Aspirin has long since expired, same with Tylenol. I'll freshen up everything over the next several days & will be adding gloves & a mask to my kit.
I also carry an ACR ResQLink Personal Locator Beacon & a Garmin 62S GPS when out in the boonies.

It's super easy to forget to check the dates at the things. I have done the same several times... /Matti
I can tell the focus of your medkit is the tours you do. You are covering your bases for those that have severe allergies (EpiPen), and diabetics with the glucose gel, plus the usual stuff. Mine is more trauma based with packing gauze, field dressings (israeli bandage or the like), tourniquet, Hyfin Seal , etc. Plus of course the usual stuff of bandaids, itch cream, etc, and an emergency blanket for exposure. I carry a trauma kit, as I generally carry an axe in the woods, and sometimes I am in areas where people are hunting
.
I no longer carry anything having to do with CPR, as in North America research has determined that constant chest compressions are better than a mixture of it and rescue breaths.
I will also add that there is no reason for folks out camping to bring an Epipen unless someone has severe allergies. Generally people with those kind of allergies already have one on hand. That and they are stupid expensive now.
Great video! It is important to carry first aid items, and especially a rescue system such as a Personal Locator Beacon (or one of those inreach/spot devices, though the PLB is in most ways far better), if one is out in the bush.
Lightning victims are treated differently, when struck by lightning the current can cause a simultaneous cardiac and respiratory arrest. Due to cardiac automaticity the heart will most likely start beating again, but the medullary respiratory center takes longer to recover. Lack of respiration causes hypoxic blood to be circulated and can induce a second asystole. Therefore, even after return of spontaneous circulation occurs ventilation should be supported until spontaneous respiration recovers. CPR guidelines are aimed at asystole due to a heart attack. Also drowning victims and children should be treated differently.
I, too, will be asking Matti WHY he said nothing about a PLB, something that I always physically have on MEeee, not inside my backpack, just in case.

It is also the responsibility of people who have health problems to bring their medications. I have asthma so it would be stupid of me to not bring my pump (Ventolin in my case) wherever I go, same has with people who are diabetics, people with heart problems (bring your coumadin or Xarelto), or people who are allergic to death of products like peanut butter and latex (bring your EpiPen), and also bee stings, you need to tell people this information, we are not mind readers and also it is for your own protection.
