Excellent video. As a former FMF Corpsman, I always made sure all the Marines in my squad had at least 2 triangular bandages on them prior to deployment, they truely are one of the most versatile pieces of first aid equipment ever made.

Thanks, learnt a lot, just decided to make a f-aid kit.

I had an assistant scoutmaster who told us to always keep cotton gauze in our 1st aid kits because the material that triangular bandages are made of doesn't soak loose like cotton does. He got injured one time working construction and got wrapped up with a triangular bandage - when they got him to the hospital they had to rip off the bandage because they couldn't soak it off. If you have a different material than he did you're set, but make sure you account for that when using these to bandage bleeding wounds.

This 2023 and the best practical video i have seen on triangular bandage

Thanks for producing and posting another excellent instructional video. I started day hiking last spring and will definitely pick up a few of these the next time I go to CVS.

This video was been so helpful to me, though our teacher are not teaching it to us yet, I already knew how triangular bandages works. Thankyou for the knowledge

wow, this is a huge help, i never knew these existed. I will be adding some of these to my pack. thank you for the video

Good advice. They look a lot more practical and lighter than an ace bandage too.

Thanks for making this. Really helpful.

I bought this premade kit which had "everything" in it, but when i checked it much of the stuff was out of date by two years (eyewash, grape sugar for insulin chock, expiration of sterilisation date etc) so i'm going through it and getting new stuff. Just a warning to those of you who buy these premade kits and think that they have no expiry date. At least it had a triangular bandage... Great videos btw, especially with time indexes.

Things with the triangular bandages. Its true its been a long time we used this 'technique' on the battlefield, but at first it was just about taking any piece of somewhat square fabric and folding it in two... Its super easy to 'make' a triangular bandage, and they were just invented from that technique.

Great video. My wife and I were hiking. We summit the mountain and on the way down, she sprain her ankle really bad. We had nothing with us. This would have been great to have.

Thank you, very informative.

Thank you for this video how to put triangular bandage

Thank you for this.

shemagh or other type large bandanas work too... that is why if I don't have room in a small first aid kit that I don't add one because I will still have a shemagh, bandana, scarf, etc

If you don't have a safety pin for your sling, you can tie a knot in the point of the triangle. Not as secure, but hey we drop stuff in grass during the heat of the moment and you can't lose a knot.

thank you very much it help me to do the triangular bandage

Super useful video, glad this video popped up in my feed when searching for examples. This happens to be one that is rather easy to follow as well some of the other ones that were available we're either hard to follow, because they were like a work training video or the person was all over the place. Thank you

Awesome video. I really like this style of video. Keep up the great content! (Also Vlad's expressions were priceless). I had a question for ya if you don't mind answering and if you have the spare time: I haven't been able to get out and go hiking for a long time. My gear is from when i was much younger so it's probably 7 years old. The gear still fits me - except the pack. So for example, my sleeping bag is still in PERFECT condition. It's been compressed for 7 years by being in a big plastic bin, but it's still got plenty of loft to it. It's sythentic. Long list short- I have gear that is in great condition but just is very bulky compared to today's standards. I'm a long weekend hiker so maybe 2-3 days and was thinking of buying a bigger pack, but one of higher quality, to accommodate my bigger gear. Or go "half and half" and buy a lesser quality pack with lesser quality gear. What would you do? Thanks, Eugene. If you can't get to it, it's no problem. God bless.

+Matthew Risley If you're going for quality, you can't go wrong with Osprey. Buying a pack from them is basically buying a pack for life unless you lose it. Some other great companies are Deuter, North Face, REI... REI are usually the best value. You can go for some lesser quality ones like High Sierra or something of that range if you're looking to save some money. From my experience though, getting a good quality one is worth it.

Can't thank you enough! Thanks for the speedy reply. I was thinking of the Osprey Atmos that you had reviewed earlier, looks like a great pack. Keep up the good stuff, brother. I love how you have "big channel quality" yet can still answer questions. Some of the best outdoors content on KZread, honest. Have a great weekend.

I've been thinking about cowboys and bandanas they wore. It seems logical they would buy a yard or two of linen or cut some off of Mom's bolt of fabric. Amazon sells bandana fabric by the yard at reasonable prices.

you HOPE i get to use it sometime? so morbid for real though nice info thumbs up

Cheers for the infomation, however, how do you apply to a chest, abdom or back wounds. Or is it not possible with triangle bandages?

@RubleInnawoods

5 жыл бұрын

Denas K you don’t want to use a triangle bandage on a chest or upper back wound, if it’s a gunshot/stab wound ie a sucking chest wound. Triangle bandages are breathable, they won’t work for that. Also in the lower abdomen/ crotch/ shoulders, for deep lacerations and such they won’t work well for wound packing either, aren’t absorbent. If the wound is a slash or something surface, it’s easier just to use a roller bandage+ gauze or Israeli bandage.

We use a triangle neckerchief for our bandaging

Thank you, good class, good kit to have, maybe essential. Perpetually dumbfounded by hunters who head off into woods near naked, if you don't count cammo and gun, yet are in a pickle if hurt, fall from stand etc. Cell phone is great, provided you haven't broken cell phone in fall, even if not; how do you get found: "I am by the white oak, over the creek but father up the hill..." Need some kit to help you or buddies get out without making trek worse. Good job.

When you're doing a sling if you don't have a safety pin hand you can just tie an overhand knot in the end of the sling to serve the same purpose.

An interesting talk is value comment. I believe that you should write extra on this subject, it may not be a taboo topic but generally persons are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers

Very useful information. Curious, are you a certified EMT or similar?

@ASTATYTE how so?

As an emt I use them to splint and restrain a patient.

These aren't sterile, correct? I know very little about this, so I'm honestly asking - should we use those directly on wounds if we have other sterile gauze available then use that as a compress? or is it okay to use those out the gate?

@ReviewOutdoorGear

These aren’t sterile, so you wouldn’t want to use them directly on a wound if you have sterile material available. In a pinch it is better than nothing, though.

You are providing first aid and preventing the person from bleeding to death. Now that they have survived long enough to get to hospital the proper medics in their clean environment can sort out the cleaning of the wound.

The package literally says “DO NOT PLACE ON OPEN WOUND”

That isn't clothes pins, It is safety pins. Clothes pins are for hanging clothes on a clothesline. Thanks for the video, I ordered a 12 pack.
