As a gastro-intestinal surgeon, I was cringing half way through this video. You always need to identify where the blood lost is coming from. And that's what you would suture. And open wound that needs stitches. And your miles in. Use a pressure bandage and seek medical attention. That would suffice for a gapping would. You can do more damage suturing if you don't know what your doing. Most people would easily go too deep in closing a wound. Now you're going to cause nerve damage. As for those quick clot bandages. They have a purpose. I wouldn't suggest using. As surgeons hate when people use them in the field. For, it works. but acts like you put a bunch of super glue on the wound. Now, I have to do a dissection and hopefully a resection of the body tissue that has this clotting agent on it. If you can locate the bleeder, us a hemostats instead. If it's an artery, well you don't have much time. I would highly recommend if people are going to assist with major to minor trauma. Then take a medical assistance course. Most medium to large teaching hospitals will offer courses such as this. One thing I noticed in last suspects accident video. Not ONE PERSON did a brain injury assessment. The leg wound was not serious. Was apparent last suspect was fine in the breathing dept. However, due to a motorcycle accident. No one asked if last suspect was feeling Nausea. After a hard fall especial with the head region. If a person feels sick like they want to vomit, dizzy, nausea. That's a huge indication of brain trauma. Which could be a concussion to actually bleeding in the brain. I could on. but I think I get what I'm trying to convey.

So these are your recommendations based on your experience doing colonoscopies, appendectomies and EGD's? Shut the hell up. If they are able to speak to him, they can extrapolate neurological status. He's getting a head CT when he gets to the hospital, anyway -- what else are they going to assess other than his A/O level and that he's moving all extremities? Stick to your ass-to-mouth specialty, not that I even believe that you're a "gastro-intestinal" surgeon.

Let's try and be more respectful, Rick is sharing good advice based on his experience as a surgeon. Thanks for the points Rick. Presumably if he was showing signs of neurological distress the EMTs should evacuate him more quickly to the hospital? Maybe call a chopper in if its a long way?

Quickclot works. I honestly don't care if the surgeon "doesn't like" having to deal with the repercussions of it being used. That said, I'm not sure what kind of gastrointestinal injuries would involve quickclot, so I'm not really sure why your opinion on the subject matters more than the janitor in a hospital.

Varaldarade His experience as a surgeon is largely worthless in the field. Surgeons work in a sterile field in a hospital with a staff that hands them whatever they need. The best piece of advice he gave was that suturing by someone who doesn't know what they're doing could be (and probably is) dangerous. I don't buy he's a surgeon one bit, which is why I wasn't cordial. If I'm wrong, I apologize.

Glad to hear your son is doing good. As a father of a young son, I can only imagine the emotions you went through watching your son get hurt on a motorcycle. I applaud you on your ability to stay cool in the situation. I know how that can be. Good Job!

Hey Nutn, I appreciate the first aid updates. You never expect to use it and when something happens- guess who's really prepared, all of us fellow TNPers. Thanks for ALL of your vids and keep up your great works! Your fans in Chandler,Az

I started watching you years ago and one of my biggest takeaways was to build my own large "nutnfancy" style first aid kits. I have used this kit for me, my family and people I meet (strangers) for so many accidents big and small, that I can't begin to count. God Bless You, for all that you have done to raise awareness, and thank you. Keep up the good work. P.S. for all the haters please go away, cause you bring nothing to the table.

There is good first aid kits out there one that comes to mind is called MedPak by a company called LIMBX Medical that is somewhat similar in concept to what nutn is showing. Although those medpaks seem to have more stuff in them...all our group leaders were carrying them in Antarctica along with some time of blizzard kit. You can find them on Amazon i think

The container I use for my level 1+ backpacking kit is a Nalgene bottle. It's a little bulky but is waterproof and crush proof and is dual use container if needed. Can't really organize stuff in it much but if you get the clear bottle you can at least see what's in it. Just my 2 cents. Great video. Gets me thinking.

Great couple and awesome instructions Nutn!!! And great group at the end!!!

Great job reiterating one of the most(i feel) overlooked and critical components in anyones preparedness and everyday arsenal. Helped remind me to go through and update my gear which is probably a year past due.

Thanks for sharing this Very important info Nut'n . I already have several kits and this information will me Greatly to continue too upgrade and manage All of my First Aid Kits . Both Big and small.

This is perfect. I just re watched your original series. Awesome timing!

More great ideas and things to think about in my own systems. Thanks, Nutn!

Great video, people often make fun of those that are prepared. Like the old story of the Ant and the Grasshopper. If you spend your time and resources to be prepared, you can live well, and also help others.

I'm new enough to this channel that I just finally made up a few level 1 FAKs Now this is up there and I appreciate it. Need to get a level 2 going I think but due to SAWC on my wallet it'll have to wait for now. HOWEVER I am much much much more ready for a first aid situation away from the house than I ever was before thanks to your original level 1 video series. Despite my training. Good work dude.

You said exactly what I was thinking at 501 about adding a small tarp to dump it all out on to! Another great vid Nutn! Glad to hear Suspect is doing well.

Thanks for the tips nutn this video made me take another look at my get home bag in my car and restock my i.f.a.k. My burn gel leaked all over inside and had to replace stuff. It's been years since its been opened so I'm glad this video made me check stuff out.

I love the guns ad gear Nutnfancy videos, but the first aid videos have mad the biggest impact in my life. After seeing his original first aid videos, I decided to make a great level one aid kit and I got some medical training. Wow, these videos and my training REALLY paid off. I was accidently shot by a fellow shooter in the middle of the woods. With my kit and training, I stopped the bleeding, stabilized myself, and got to the hospital. Two days ago, I sliced my finger open severely. I mean, it was down to the bone "actually broke the bone" and the slice was around my finger in a letter "C" type of fashion. It I basically guillotined my index finger with a large piece of sheet metal. I looked down, I could SEE BROKEN BONE! Ugh, it was nasty. But, thanks to the videos, I got to my level 1 kit, wrapped it up and got myself to the hospital. I call it my "Nutn Kit" since he gave me the idea to create one and get training. I've also have helped my family with minor cuts/scrapes/burns using my Nutn Kit. So thanks, Nutnfancy! Without your videos, I'd be another jerkoff in society that is medically unprepared to stabilize my own injuries until I can get real help. Really, thank you "and your sons" very much.

Great vid! i have been in the process of putting together some of these kits for myself. I.E. house, car, range bag ect. I was originally going to buy a pre-made kit for the car/truck. Now i'm wanting to put one together just like this. Thanks again for the great content and keep it up!

Been looking forward to this one for a long time. Thanks Nutn!

Awesome thank you. Lots of good ideas. Mine def need updating

Thanks for the reminder Nutn. Need to go check my level 1 & 2 kits for completeness!

Thanx. You reminded me to update and check my FAK bag in my truck.

Awesome information Nutn. I have a decent level 1+ kit but definitely need a better container as right now I'm using heavy plastic bags which pretty much suck. Thanks for all you do for the TNP-N (TNP Nation that is.)

THANK YOU FOR UPDATING THIS VIDEO. WHAT I'M LEARNING FROM YOU IS MAKING MY LIFE BETTER! KEEP THEM VIDS COMING!

Excellent video!!

I carry my old combat lifesaver bag in my family SUV. I bought a VooDoo tactical ready made first aid kit. It's in a decent little case, that had room for more stuff. I added ziplock bags to put stuff in, more tape, more blood stopping stuff, a sharpie to mark times, and mole skin, which I handed out left and right in my LEO classes over the summer. I also have glucose gel, because my dad is diabetic, and we hang around together a lot.

Couple of quick suggestions; 1) wash bags/kits make good fak containers. Reasonable size, good compartmentalisation and organisation, usually waterproof, most have a hook to hang them from and some even integrate a small mirror. Plus they are cheap!! 2) Altoid mini tins are handy to stop your mess getting crushed. Small, strong and lightweight.

Nutn Your vids I always make time for. This one, for some reason, hits the mark a little differently for me. Keep it up man! Thanks for the T&E expended on the project. Lt D Outski

Hey Nutn, I use contact lens cases to hold pills in my kits. They are strong,light, and thin so they fit well in the kits. And it lets you carry a couple different types of medication.

In my 20+ years of every day preparedness I have found tool pouches work very well. In the last ten years I've carried my fak in a tool pouch purchased from walmart. It's the same style, size, much cheaper, easily found, and available in many different colors(specially red for my fak) I also use the to organize my usk and edc pack. Not trying to knock Klyne tools but there is an option. Thanks for the vid nutn!

As others have previously pointed out, you have a bit of extra stuff in these kits. After some minor military experience, my personal kit has 1) Israeli bandage or similar emergency bandage for large bleeding, 2) a couple of wound pads + athletic tape + antiseptic wipes for small cuts, 3) some tape/gauze/cord for making an improvised splint, 4) small amount of painkillers, diarrhea pills etc. and 5) a tourniquet, when hanging out in places where people tend to suddenly lose a limb. Everything else, you can get from the friendly people at emergency services. Cheers!

Great video! My level 1 kit peroxide leaked and caused mold growth in the kit. Glad I checked it before I needed it. Thanks, Nutn.

I had a small amount of training for this type of first aid and kits. The instructor mentioned using a gasketed plastic ammo box for the level 2 or 2+ type kit. I love it! No worries with durability and they are cheap and waterproof. Just a tip I thought might help someone else.

Cranking out the vids these days, Nutn. Loving it. KEEP EM COMING!!

Thank you sir! And I love Arnold!!

You can put a list in you bag of what you actually have in your kit. That way it makes it easier for you to know what you used, if you forget to write it down after you use it. Because, you can check the actually contents against the list to make sure it's all there each time before you take the kit with you again.

Great Video - as a primary care doc - i'm always look at better ways to carry gear. BTW that BandAid Brand first Aid wash that you showed (blue bottle) is worth gold in my opinion. It has a numbing component in addition to the antibacterial action. It's my go to antiseptic for all cuts and scrapes in the office. You can squeeze it to get a high pressure flush in deeper wounds, relatively pain free. Great on the trail!!! Thanks for the video!!

Thank you! Amazing as always!

You know i didnt expect this to be all that entertaining. But it was good times. And kind of a wakeup call....... I need to update my kit!

As a new subscriber and an 8 year medic, that is a fairly well stocked, sorted kit with decent medical knowledge to back it up. Only thing I'd recommend is drop the iodine as some people are allergic to shellfish and maybe add a CAT tourniquet for severe arterial bleeds. Even the bags could be used as an occlusive dressing for GSWs.

Yes... I love first-aid and medicine and have been waiting for a first-aid update!!!! I always keep my 0.5 kit in my pocket, a lvl 1 in my bags, and a lvl 2 in my car. I am starting a business soon and will make quality medical products that will not be reiterated boo-boo boxes. They are modeled after experience, KZread videos, and other professional advice.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the reminder!

Nutn...Thanks for the great videos. I love em. Great info and never internet crazy. I went to the dollar store to get items for my safety kits. They have aspirin, Tylenol, advil, in little storage bottles for a buck. those little storage containers are great for storing other items and dump the original contents to a bigger container. Keep up the great channel...

I'm still rocking my blackhawk roll up kit. Good stuff! Also I have transferred my level 1 kits to a similar bag to that tool bag. Walmart $3 large pencil bag looks very similar to the tool bag and works great!

I always walk around with my first aid kit,and I have had to use it time and time again:)

for my "level 1" kits i love the Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Specter Set. very light and durable. I've used one for 5+ years now backpacking and many other outdoor adventures. my other 2 cents is that i love how you have labeled the individual bags for trauma and such. i would recommend including an very basic instruction card with each sub kit (maybe written on the back of the label card) because just because you are they guy carrying the first aid kit doesn't mean you will be the one using it and it could possibly being used on you.

A couple of my first aid kits have the Boba Fett look. Use them all the time. Thanks Nutn!

Nice -- lots to think about and review your packs every now and then to make sure you know what you got and what to add or delete -- Thanks

I've made my own and carried one since "A Story of First Aid". I've used it more on other people than myself. Bought all my supplies in bulk and made kits for car, bags, family, etc. I really don't like the store bought kind but if it gets someone carrying something... feels so much better carrying something you've put together yourself and used your own prior experience with problems you've come across to stock it. Haven't had much go out of date without using it. If i'm going to an event and cant carry a bag i'll throw some supplies in an aloksak and throw it in a cargo pocket. Even if it's only someone wanting a bandaid to stop their shoe rubbing its all good :) P.S. I carry different sized instant cold packs depending on the size kit and they get used probably second to chlorhexidine irrigation tubes. Can't put a number on how many i've given to mums whose kid has just fallen over and grazed a knee or elbow, really helps calm them down.

Sweet vid. I use my Eagle Creek toiletry bag as a make shift med kit container. Good compartmentalization, and even has a small mirror attached inside. I think its called the Wallaby.

"WATSHHHHHHH!" (whip sound) Classic Nutn, reason why I watch.

I have used those bags for years. They are great.

For my hiking bag, I have a small Exped First Aid dry bag. Bright red with a first aid symbol and label, it keeps things dry and compact while being lightweight and durable enough. The best option in my opinion for hiking/backpacking and would work great for mobile lightweight compact EDC as well.

Glad to hear LastSuspect is back up;)

I worked on Ski Patrol in NC, was a Wilderness 1st responder up on Mt. Washington, NH. I carried small square .5" Hard ware cloth fencing in my fanny pack/1st Responder kit. You can fold it up and its flexible. I used and reused it for broken limbs. Just make sure you cut the edges or ducktape them so they don't catch. No kit is complete without it!

Thanks Nutn. As always you get me thinking. I have a cosmetic/kitchen bag I may convert to first aid. Thanks again

I believe that was a sanitary pad -- not a tampon. Both are very absorbent and are great additions to a first aid kit though. I like that you date everything.

Excelent vid. Thanks!

Good stuff keep it coming

I love your videos. My husband and I learn so much. We are always excited for new videos. I do want to drop a line of help though. The "tampons" you are carrying in this video aren't tampons. Those are pads. Work wonders for open wounds and bleeding. Just make sure you don't buy the ones with deodorant. Those will burn. Thank you for all your info!!! ~Samantha~

Tip!; Write a list of the supplies you have BEFORE you use them, and after you use some of them, just throw everything out after the battle, and check whats missing from the starting point, and replace those items! ( I keep my list in a sunglasses pocket ontop of my medical backpack.) I do this all the time with lots of thing!

Very important video. Thanks for your candid remarks and willing heart. In your quest to constantly trim down your FAK's, it can be argued that you were ultimately putting yourself and others at risk in the past by jamming items in so tight, and layering them on top of each other, that the items you were so counting on to help you in your greatest time of need (particularly the pouches/packages with gel, fluid, etc) were rendered useless and contaminated, having been ripped open by pressure or excessive wear. SAWC must be balanced with the level of RISK one is willing to accept while out and about, much like comparing two more of your tenets: FIREPOWER versus MOBILITY. I may be bias, but I like the direction you're going with your FAK's: a little more room, lots of labels, and more capability without carrying a hundred different little things. Personally, I find it easy to get carried away and start stuffing anything/everything in my kit, and before you know it, I can't zip up the bag anymore. You're right, and it's important to stress it again: This is a level 1 or level 2 kit, not a replacement for an EMT or the doctor's office.

I gotta say you inspired me to make a first aid kit for myself although mine is more minimalist since I have no medical training and live in the city and yes so far it has worked fine for me so far.

This is exactly what I use as my first aid kit container. Mine aren't Klein bags, but are a Walmart version and although they aren't waterproof, they do have a plastic inter coating. They work great and are less than $5.00.

I like the LL Bean bag best... (Awesome video as usual)

Hey Nutn, any hiking/camping adventure videos coming up? I'm missing those so much...

+Nutnfancy As far as the topic at hand, I'm in the middle of watching your first aid kit vids, and I'm not sure yet if you've covered this, but having a laminated manifest/packing attached somewhere on the front can stop somebody who doesn't know what is in the kit from wasting their time looking for stuff you don't have (maybe somebody treating YOU). Just a detail. Not sure if you've already covered that, if you have, sorry. Anyway, I love your videos. I'm a 28 year old Army Infantry vet who has been spinning my wheels since I got out, and your philosophy videos have TRULY helped me. And your gear reviews have truly cost me money lol! Thank you for what you do Sir.

No problem brooo!!

I am a former Army Medic, Wilderness EMT, and Paramedic Student. Veterinary supplies is better than Amazon. Horse wrap is like a dollar VS 5 bucks for Coban. It is the same thing. So you can get really good supplies cheap. Keeping a Sam Splint in your level 1 will help with the compression factor. They have multiple uses. I would also pack the least urgent items on the bottom. Your massive bleeding supplies would be on the exterior pouches. What also works well for level 2 kits is Camera Bags and shower caddies. Some things to add. Safety Pins. (million uses) A lighter to field sterilize equipment. EMT shears are useful for cutting clothes SAFELY. Remember do no harm. I would also pack a tourniquet. If you need to use one you need to use it quickly and you shouldn't waste time trying to make one on the fly. I recomend the SOF-T. Steri Strips are way better than suturing supplies in the back country not only for the SWC because sutures is so invasive it will cause more problems then it will solve in the back country. Cravats are important too. They have a million and one uses. Sharpies too. Your note cards might go to shit. Sharpies can write patient care information on them. Out side your kit water is important to have on hand. Flushing wounds, eyes, ect are important. Now if you are going way out in the woods one thing I would keep in your car is a deer sleed. They roll up. If they are meant to take a deer out of the back country they will work on humans too. Trying to carry someone with an improvised litter a few miles over rough terrain is not going to be fun.

Excellent once over on some kit info. would like to see some sort of break-down on kit type=content list at some time. I will do a search and hopefully you have already touched on this. Thanks for the update on some 'container' news.

Thanks for reminding me to restock my level 2. It has not been in service since I burned my hand 2 months ago.

Thanks for going over this subject. If you can let me know when those bags hits your store (if they are not gone already). They would be great to reorg my med kit. Thanks

I've seen the vids and my kit is looking good. Gotta say Steri-strips are worth having!!!

I re enforce my alok saks with duct tape, but I like your solution! this one of many reasons I stay subbed! Thanks!

The best pouch for first aid I've found is made by survivalmetrics. It's silicon-impregnated ripstop nylon with waterproof zippers. Super light weight and strong enough if you care at all for your gear.

There's like 350 comments on here, so somebody probably already touched on this. A couple of thoughts from a Paramedic: I think you can lose the Benzoin. If your only purpose is to clean an area for the Tegaderm, in my experience the alcohol preps you have will suffice. Tegaderm is a good product, but for high traffic areas like the hand you should consider it a very temporary measure at best. It's a reasonable option for a quick, on-the-spot, wound cover with the intent of dressing it properly ASAP. It also works reasonably well as an occlusive dressing for an open chest wound. Again, it's a fast and easily deployable measure for a problem that needs more attention than first aid. I'm not sure what your purpose is for the scalpel other than maybe digging out ingrown toenails or the like, but it's small so whatever. A decent pair of EMS style trauma shears are great and can cut through lots of stuff, but if you don't like them and need to cut clothes off a person, then Benchmade makes a small gut hook style blade that works rather well and packs easily. Lose the elastic tourniquet. You're not stopping any bleeding with that thing. Get a CAT tourniquet or something similar. Better yet, get two. One is often not enough to stop severe bleeding from a major artery. It's also helpful in those cases of multiple trauma where more than one artery was injured. I like that you carry anti-diarrheal meds in your FAK, but I also carry a few doses of Benadryl, and some rudimentary pain meds like Tylenol and Motrin. You mentioned you are not carrying any splints, and I don't generally carry splints either. I spend most of my "adventure" time in the woods or mountains on the east coast. I generally have plenty of sticks with which to fashion a splint. If you decide to carry a splint, there is an easily packable and very versatile splint called the SAM splint that I have used in the past for work. Anywho, excellent video. Love what you do. Please, don't stop. Ever.

Hey nutn, something that i have been using in my EDC backpack is a tiny tube of Advil but when they run out i repurpose them for holding other meds. You could use one of them for the meds that you have in your level one plus kit. Just a thought.

Hey Nutn, in my level I, I try and wrap like items in strips of coban, made into a pouch of sorts that allows you to dispense items and keep them together at the same time. The coban not only keeps them together because it's a compression bandage material, but the strips can also be used in certain scenarios as well. It's not the end all be all of intra-kit sorting, but it works well in my POU.

The biggest problem I've had with my first aid kit is having it in the car in winter and the antibacterial/cleaners/etc freezing up or bursting in some shape or form; any thoughts?

As far as durable cases goes, I remember my mom had to do money drops at the banks, and the deposit bag was a reinforced plastic coated bag that had durable locking zipper. Another idea against rain protection is to pre-treat the bag with some of the Rustoleum water repellant or maybe Thompson's Waterseal? Still have the plastic bags inside, but just another layer of protection. Like Dr Rick suggested, keeping some hemostats and rubber gloves in case you need to clamp or grab hold of something in the wound? Depending on size an weight contraints, perhaps moving to a plastic case? The type that many pistols come in nowadays? Just remove the foam. Plenty protection and positive locking. For a car or motorcycle (with luggage compartments) trip might work well too.

I like the inclusion of hibiclens. I may have missed it but a surgical brush would be a beneficial addition. Proves very useful when cleaning wounds or if you are needing to be aseptic.

FF/EMT-B of 9 years, 4 years air medical experience here: Just wanted to say that the Adventure Medical Kits are great foundation kits for most people to build on, and add a few things to. You can get the 1.0 kit for around $14 and it is pretty close to what you have in your level 1 kit in the video. Just stuff for people to consider.

Envelope style pouches rock!

Maxpedition makes incredibly tough bags, I've haven't worn out any of mine yet. I'm sure there are cheaper options, but this is a serious topic - and warrants serious gear.

Anyone know what the model is on the ll bean bag ? Aunt works there and trying to see if they are still there ?

Nutn I'm sure someone has mentioned it but I try to integrate a tourniquet into all my med kit. Awesome idea with the Klein bags, I use them at work to hold tools they are pretty damn tough.

Tagiderm is supposed to be used in conjunction with 2x2s or 4x4 gauze, and to hold Iv catheters in, I work on an ambulance and I love that stuff but like you say your mileage may very. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work!!

Have you checked out the Vanquest FatPack? It looks perfect for a level 1 plus kit. I really like how everything lays out and is organized when it's open.

What's the rationale behind incorporating scalpels before adding scissors or a suturing kit to the level 1?

Hey Nutn...have you ever considered the inserts that come with the soft case fishing tackle bags? That is what I use...they are like a strong zip-lock with some holes for mounting.

I've been carrying my fak in a similar style container for years, purchased at Walmart in a 3 pack. I was too cheap to buy the loksak at the time. The tnp level 1 has saved my ass on many occasions!

Condor makes a molle "rip away" pouch that I recently picked up. It's probably big enough for a 1+ kit and has some good organization to it. I only just got it this week, so I haven't had much time with it but I'm liking it so far. I picked up in ACU one on clearance for $12. Amazon has them for $22.

Hey Nutn, do you have an ETA on when you will be getting more name tapes in your shop? Really want to get my hands on them.

Instead of throwing everything on the ground, why not get a roll out bag with see through or mesh pockets. Can see and find everything and the bag doubles as a floor mat...
