Friend, I discovered the back of the blades of my first aid kit scissors do a wonderful job of making sparks
Some time ago (and still necessary) I've had to calm some people down who would get a bit too excited at the thought of those _Purge_ movies happening in real life. Improbable but not impossible. It'd have to require masses of people losing their minds and causing a ruckus to kick things off. The local LEOS would see this as a typical riot and respond accordingly to shut it all down. Humanely. By the thousands? Okay, that's when martial law's declared and the military moves in. Checkpoints and curfews are initiated making sure no one is out without reason, lest they're arrested or gunned down. Suppose this happens in big/small cities and towns all across the nation. Now we have a real problem. With a bunch of nutcases armed with weapons out on the streets with the intent to cause harm/destruction? Outnumbering the law and military 40 to 1? Yeah, time to pack it up, head back to base then maybe head home to protect their own families from the chaos. That's when our supplies will come in handy for sure. Hypothetical situation aside, this could happen post-disaster in a "troubled" community. We often see the result is people everywhere doing their part to see everyone is fed/watered and has somewhere to sleep. Power outage in the 'Hood for more than a weekend? Hell hath no fury like an angry black woman being pushed to her limits. Here's hoping the worst should never come. The threat of potential nuke EMPs has been exhausted for near a decade and I've grown weary of it. Likely it won't. Still, better to stack everything up for other sakes. After all, don't you just hate running out of an ingredient and need to make special trips to the store? Not when you have a dozen jars of it ready to go.
can canadian get the american GRMS License.
Bill you actually make a very valid point in this video....I carry one in a trauma kit in my car and also one in a smaller trauma kit in my motorcycle.....I think the most chance I would ever come to using one will be if someone I'm riding with crashes or god forbid I crash on the scoot.....but I have both mostly stocked with Israeli bandages and gauze and quick clot
Such words are often written on tombstones.

I built a $2000 rifle for $1100 shopping sales. It’s a 14.5 and I live in the west. We can see a long way out here and when we go out and train, my group of friends are pretty good at the distances we would be shooting animals at. Great video, you don’t need the $4k rifle. One of the guys in the group shoots an old bushmaster with irons and he might be the best shot among us.
That should be …want you to know…not …what you to know…
Commando Joe will get you killed, you want to b,”Poor Refugee”’ nothing to see here, nothing to steal, armed, and armored yes, but unobtrusive. If you are carrying your self as, “Poor Refugee” , the odds are any confrontations you get in will be close, read that as handgun shootout range, and your object is to avoid confrontation if you can, remember, things are raggedy, No EMT’s or trauma centers, operational, so you want to be very aware of your surroundings. Should you have a long gun, yes, in a bag configuration, or a Stocked pistol configuration, for longer shots, the object is to show no visible weapons until the fight starts. Remember surviving Raggedy is more about acquiring supplies, growing crops, getting clean water, and fire wood to keep your house warm, then fighting gun battles.
To all you Vets on here Thank You for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good thoughts on this and a great video...And of course we love those Commie tears! LOL Just how I am on the set-up...I believe it's a good idea to have one...Just in case...Better to have than not. My set-up is that I'll have one on me plus an IFAK...But Saki, my dog has her pack on, when we are out in the wilderness. Her pack kit is way bigger, as she carries a 200 piece IFAK (Medical Kit) and her pack has one TQ...My belief here is that if I go down hard...The main first aid kit is coming to me on four legs! She's my six! 😉
Yep, the mountains are so thick I hunt with a bow until the leaves are gone. You can’t see 💩 until you’ve stepped in it just about. Iron sites are really all you need. Set your zero at 36 yards. 🤷♂️works for us.
Ooooh Raaah!
There’s a reason the AK-47 is the most prolific weapon in the world. Deadly under 200 yards with iron sites. No one is shooting over 200 yards. Semper Fi.
I’d probably choose my Noveske Afghan with Nightforce Atacr 1-8 and Surefire RC2. I think an Eotech is a terrible optic for SHTF when your batteries die. You need an etched reticle with magnification
Funny how different SHTF prepper try to explain this. Some speak and only give little details. Some just say it like it will be. If you live in a big city and surrounding suburbs. You gone. Gangs and guns will be raiding your house. National guard and military will just walk in and take your stuff. It’s going to be people who bug out with a military compound who will be surviving.
Want you to know. NOT What you to know!!!!!!
More likely to need narcan than a TQ
lol, actually you’re correct! My family lives in a suburb of Maryland, about 20 min outside of DC (by car), and in a very Democrat stronghold county. MS-13’s Captain lived on our street, just to give some context. Despite the 1000+% uptick in crime since certain folks in the City voted to defund the Police, to where they cannot even meet recruiting standards, there’s tons of calls for OD’s. Especially on my family’s street and areas just north of us (residential area). Narcan gets used like it’s going out of style. DC even installed vending machines that have Narcan in them! LOL. I do carry a small kit with tourniquets (2 types), and an Israeli bandage along with small items for wound prep/clean. My area does have a higher knife use in crimes, more than guns (Maryland has some of the strongest gun laws in the East Coast, not sure if New York is worse). Our EMS’s are real godsends though. I donate to them as often as I can when I’m stateside and not away on deployments (Priv-Mil Contractor).
You are spot on with this! They are way too over rated. It's the veganism of the trauma classes.
The grayl filters 300 liters, about 65 gallons, so it's a lot less than you think, still a great filter.
This is totally on ponit
A tactical tourniquet should be positioned so that it can be used quickly, and not for beautiful appearance. That is, it should be placed in a place that is visible to you and that you can easily reach with your hands. For example, on your vest on the chest. If you keep a tourniquet in your first aid kit, or in some bag, or in a backpack, then while you are looking for it, you will lose a lot of blood and consciousness, and then you cannot be saved.
I agree really. I have a few TQs, but ny main focus is to keep everyday items or that next step item bandages etc at the ready. I still have a TQ but its definitely not my priority
Your jokes and trolling will end with the fact that when you are faced with reality SHTF, you will not remember how to act correctly because you will remember the comments of trolls and jokers and not real experts to save yourself and as result you or someone of your friends will die. Check the information you read, listen to on the radio or watch on TV (and youtube etc). Do not believe everything that people say, because your life and the lives of other people will depend on it. I've told you this many times before, but no one seems to have learned this lesson. Perhaps I'm wasting my time.
But doesn't that TQ look cool Molle'd on the side of my TACTICAL bag mannnnnnn!!! LOL. I'm with you on this 1000%. Pisses me off when people "show off" their GHB, BOB, etc and it ALWAYS has a TQ in it. I've never owned one, never had to use one.
Agree, especially in common situational events. Although, like the saying goes: “ Better to have than not having.” The likelihood of unprecedented unrest can easily introduce a higher need for tourniquet(s).
This is funny while hiking Saturday slipped on slick rock and took a nice bang on my hip, my basic first aid kit with ibuprofen was what I needed to get back to the camp site.
This channel is more about the philosophy than the practicalities. It complements other channels.
I got 1 day to prep for the board
I cant watch this one
What ever event one focuses on. Get out and train for it. Like the old saying. Train as you will fight so as you will fight as you trained. Everything else is just moot. Keep on keepen on.
About time someone said that. i've done a lot, seen a lot ,in the real every day world in some tough environments. so here is the list from that. Bandaids ( do yourself a favor get the cloth type) antiseptic cream Iodine for aftercare- apply more antiseptic cream and a fresh bandaid after that. So what have i done after 45 years of working thus far.+15 years of being a dork. Trapping, hunting, forestry, Earth moving,agricultural implement manufacturing,pest control,Off roading- all types , motocross, Tradesman carpenter, Drainage, general construction . That's the short list. FYI i have 3x TQ's 5 fire extinguishers (one is a refillable pressurized water only type) And 7 general first aid kits.(most of which are expired by ten years)
Iodine should not be applied to open wounds.
Militias dont usually have medical chain of care and that seems to be what you are talking about. Primary care and nurses will know how to handle sprains, ticks, tetanus and taping cuts. Getting good at ordinary shit involves actual competence in medical care. Like becoming a nurse. Moreover: Whoever gets shot needs a surgeon. If you are a militia you probably dont have facilities, doctors and medical supplies to have your buddies operated. That will be serious detriment to your overall morale and determination of the militia.
Right.
I’m an 18+ yr Private Military Contractor that operates primarily in warzones in Africa and Mid. East. Even I, as Squad Leader, learned from a previous Combat Medic on how to stitch a wound by practicing on a cheap cut of meat. I’ve enough confidence that I could handle wound care if the role wasn’t filled in the moment. Basic medical care and practice is extremely underrated when talking about survival - period- regardless of the overall situation! Everyone should know at least basic survival skills.
🎯Risk management .
Exactly. People are fumb ducks. Sheep. Live in a fairytale prepper land.
if i could get my paws on a suppressor id totally get a 300 blk out set up. but being in california, in the mountains 14.5 ar with an lpvo or red dot will do.
I never see videos on the many ways to use a SAM splint.
If you have forgotten so much about the reality in which you live, then go to any hot spot on the planet and look at the wounded and disabled people there. After you've vomited several times looking at their injuries, try telling one of the wounded that they don't need a tourniquet.
You may be attacked by a crocodile if there are crocodiles where you live. For example, while fishing or if you accidentally fell into the water from a boat. He will bite off your arm or leg. This can happen to a bear in the forest, and even if you encounter a bear in the city. A bear can bite your thigh bone in half from the first try. Such cases are known. I wonder how you would save a person in such a situation, using pressure gauze and bandages, hemostatic powders. You must be a crazy and irresponsible person if you attitude to a human life like that. This could be one of your friends or family. It’s very terrible that there are people in the comments who laugh at this. Your idea of the world in which you live is very small. When I was in school, the first thing we were taught in safety lessons was how to use a tourniquet correctly.
Read this book for a modern example of what life may be like. “SHTF Survival Stories: Memories from the Balkan War” by selco begovic. Also look into GMRS and Ham /amateur radio for comms.
Anybody remember the days when we didn't have tourniquets in the military? Our training was to use our belts for a tourniquet.
If you don't lose your pants, then no problem. Why do people even need to wear a belt for their pants? Let's tie the waist with a piece of rope or fabric as people did in the Middle Ages.
A tactical tourniquet is primarily a quick rescue from blood loss. You do not have to be the soldier in army for have a tourniquet in your kit. Someone in the comments says that if you or another person is in an accident, you don’t need a tourniquet! I completely disagree. Study carefully car accidents, as well as those involving motorcyclists, cases in the subway, as well as cases of vehicle collisions with pedestrians in which an arm or leg is torn off. There are also cases in construction and factories when working with dangerous and complex equipment. Also on the beach if a shark attacks. Unfortunate fall from a height or while working at high altitude. Climbers. etc. If you don't have a tourniquet in your aid kit, you will quickly lose a lot of blood. Moreover, if there is no one nearby who could help you, especially if you have lost consciousness.
Maybe look at your thumbnail again?
lol - thanks amigo. It wouldn’t be the first time. I am a chewer of dirt after all.
It's been rigged for decades.
I spent 10 years working EMS after a 15-month paramedic course. I never used a tourniquet, other to start an IV. I still have several, along with a host of other BLS gear. Lastly, I had some tears while listening to Top's wisdom.
