Great Info!

Accidents happen for sure. I was at my mom's old house couple weeks ago, no one has lived there in years, anyway I fell and put my hand through a glass vase that was sitting on floor. Thank the Good Lord the cut wasn't a half inch lower or I would have cut through the main veins in my wrist. Surprisingly I stayed calm, all I had was napkins from McDonald's in the car but they worked to help stop the bleeding. I'm a heart patient soni take blood thinners which wasn't helping. Good Lord took care of me for sure, I was able to make drive back home and get my wife and go to ER. Ended up with 9 stitches in my wrist and bottom of hand. Had one cut on my wrist that wasn't as bad and they glued it. Always be aware because accidents can and will happen

For years I have used and carried a basic absorbent towel, and pre staged roll of electrical (prestaged meaning I fold over a large flap for easy access). These two items are cheap, easy to carry, and very effective for first aid, with some basic knowledge. The tape having an elastic nature is great for pressure bandages, and easily used for a make shift tourniquet, splint, etc. Total cost couple bucks, and fits in a pocket, can address more than one wound. Keep in a zip lock to keep dry and clean. This really gives no excuse not to carry something. Traditional first aid gear is ideal, but can get left behind due to weight and bulk. Great video, thank you for sharing.
