Home Depot cheap paint drop cloth. 15'x15' is cheap, packs tiny, keeps the weather off you and a patient. Keeps them off the ground.

I was a mine emergency technician on underground coal mines for several years. The company I worked for was very good for supplying is with everything we needed. We had a "rescue sled" that had everything needed to deal with a cut or splinter to keeping a 22 man crew alive in a 0 oxygen environment for at least a week. I also kept a "oh shit" pack to deal with really bad things till I could get someone else to run to the sled and get what I needed. That pack had gloves, a pair of shears, a tourniquet, a face shield, a cheat seal, a clean Ziploc bag and roll of duct tape just in case the chest seal failed, and 4x4 gauze and lastly a space blanket and to instant hand warmers to break and stick in their arm pits.

In the process of building a kit for my classroom. Getting training this summer

Glad you are still making videos!

Regards from Spain man!! I love your videos

Thank you

I suggest to ad instant chemical hand/toe/bodywarmers. Depents in the size of the pack. A pair of toe warmers fits in the most space blankets bags. Most are self-adhesive, so it can put on the renal area before wrapping the patient in a blanket.

You and prepmedic are the greatest medics I've found on youtube! I'm saving up my money to buy 5 packs of the NAR packing gauze and the Xshears from medical gear outfitters so i can support these videos and build my kit. Also, i have a question, could a pressure dressing be improvised with an elastic bandage, some gauze, and a shooter marble/rock?

Just subscribed sir thank you very much

Medical Gear Outfitters is awesome!! I’ve placed a number of orders from them over the last couple of years and they’ve always been great. Good prices, huge selection, and fast shipping! Highly recommended!!

Great video 😊😊😊. Question about gloves, do they need to be sealed? Or could they be tossedblike that in your kit? Thank you and have a great day and weekend ahead 🙏🏿😎

Thank you for your time and experience in helping us out,question.? Have you covered wilderness first aid; I apologize if you covered this topic over the years. I see the Hiking med Kit on your website, Thank you!

Love this was looking at rhino rescue are they any good? Or just build thks kit?

Thank you for this. Will be building a trauma kit.

Just curious your thoughts on a needle for tension pneumothorax?Even if you do not have the training for it,maybe someone else that shows up to help may have the training that could use it?

Any thoughts on adding Narcan to your kit? I don't have anyone that I know of who uses drugs and might need Narcan, but you never know when you're traveling or out and about. Thanks for sharing.

Hello, how do you feel about using stuff like compressed gauze or chest seals that are recently expired ? I'm assuming its not advised but I cannot afford to regular replace the stuff.

Have you looked at the Slishman pressure wrap? If so what are your thoughts on it as both a pressure wrap and secondary tourniquet similar to a swat-t?

All good info. Good to see you back with us, we look forward to your vids. The Heimlich Maneuver. What is your opinion on the Heimlich maneuver device? I picked up a cheap one just to see what they're all about. The one I bought, Cheap, that looks like a plunger, however even as a plunger it didn't work. Are the better Heimlich plungers any better, or just false hope? If are good, which would you recommend? Keep your vids coming.

I don’t think there is enough data to support the devices. I currently thank the hold fashion hands on abdominal thrust is the best.

Would love to get some training on how to useall this stuff, I can buy it dont mean I know how to use it properly

Most cities support the national CERT program, which provides a wide range of free training and can tell you what is available around you. Your FD, PD, or emergency management office may be sponsoring that. The local Red Cross usually dponsors first aid and CPR courses, typically $50-75.

To save space in your kit use adhesive Hot hands pads instead of hot packs.

Just rememer, Hot Hands and similar warmers often have a 2 year life from mfr date. Ones due to expire in a year are often sold cheap online. I use a Sharpie to mark expiry dates, and go through the kits annually to replace as needed. The expiry date on hand warmers is a hard stop, enough oxygen gets through the pack so they really go dead.

If you need audio help to correct the left only audio, send it my way. I'll fix it.

What about Kotex Pads instead of 5 X 9's? Or Clot agent then Kotex on top?
