    Sugar and honey has been used to treat battlefield wounds for hundreds of years. It has something to do with osmotic pressure. It was popular during the Napoleon Wars. The sugar draws lymph into the wound, nourishing regenerating tissues, preventing bacteria growth, drying them out and leaving them weak and fragile. After that it promotes new tissue growth that causes infection, swelling is reduced, white cells that help clean and debride the wound are attracted and nourished, and a protective layer of protein is formed over the wound. Sugar also deodorizes necrotic wounds.

    I found carrying a few of those plastic drinking straws that are filled with honey are very useful and pack easily. Can be used as an energy booster a sweetener. Antiseptic. Works well on cuts and burns. I also do the same with the pine pitch that comes out of the little blisters on spruce trees. I collet a bunch in a little jar and then put it into straws of different lengths for use as many things like wound care fire starting and much more I have also used straws for single serve salt and pepper or other spices I have some straws that have vasealine soaked cotton or jute twine in one end and a couple strike anywhere matches on the other then I just fold over the ends and heat seal them with an old clothes iron keeps things good and dry until needed

    I have most of those items...
    I would add Dental floss to sew with pre- string the needle and wrap it around cardboard.... and a thin guitar string as a snare.. small one use tube of super glue... Single use Neosporin.. Burn gel..and a few medium bandaids and a razor blade taped up most of the way with just a quarter inch tip exposed...

    I carry a a small lockpick that has about the size and appearance as a small pocketknife. Back in the 1970's I would carry a couple small Allen wrenches for lockpicking. Bobbie pins bend too easily for the work. In the past few years, I have switched from carrying 550 paracord to 550 braided fish line. It has the same test strength with far less volume. Because of this I can easily carry 100' or more in my pocket with plenty of room left for other items. I also carry a small tube of travel sized Vaseline and a small Ziplock bag of cotton balls. I think they are more versatile if I keep them separate until needed. I use a space blanket with orange on one side for signaling.

    • @tahoemike5828
      @tahoemike5828 7 місяців тому

      I trade out the Vaseline for tube of anti-boitic Ointment( not creme), think Neosporin etc. It's 99% petroleum jelly and does the same as Vaseline, but worth its weight in first aid value. A simple cut, while you're up the wrong creek can be bad news. You can also get it in the single use foil packs to keep in a kit.

    Just a small tweak on the cotton ball item: I switched to carrying cotton makeup remover pads. They are compressed fairly flat, but can easily be fluffed up to the same loft as a cotton ball. They can be cut to fit a specific spot in your kit, or for a specific use. I just find them to be a tidier, more versatile option to a cotton ball, without giving up any of the used and advantages of a cotton ball.

    If you're going to fish, I would recommend a fishing lure called a rooster tail, which has a silver spinner spoon and yellow hairs. I'm not really into fishing but that lure always works for me. A plain fishing hook won't do you good without bait, and bread spoils fast, so having a spinner with you will make fishing worth the effort. (I know bait can be dug up from the ground if needed, but I mean if you don't want to go bug hunting.)

    • @wjf213
      @wjf213 Рік тому +3

      Those do work pretty well. Another thing I do is I seal up in a straw 6 to 10 of those Berkley Crappie Nibble Power Baits. Those will last dang near forever in a sealed-up straw, and they work VERY well alone or added to the hook of a lure to add scent in the water.

    Pocket carry is the most important to me because those items are the most
    likely things that you will
    have handy when they are
    needed. Nothing in this
    list is very expensive, but
    they're good items to always have. The cutlery looks to be
    the most expensive out of
    everything shown, but most
    people I know usually have
    at least one pocket carry
    knife at all times
    Thanks for the video.
    Looking forward to many more

    A good item for your ifak is liquid skin. It's a tiny little tube that, when applied, acts like a plaster (band aid) and stays on for 4-5 days even with showers and baths. It automatically protects a cut.

    Using a bobin to properly store fishing line (and/or snare wire) is an excellent idea. If I can make a suggestion, consider to wrap around it a small section of a bicycle inner tube, to help keeping the line nice and tight. You can even use this trick to seal/waterproof the lids of small vials of pills or matches. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻😃

    I live in the desert South West and keeping food in a vehicle for emergencies can be difficult because of the heat. My go to for my kits is the "Jawbreaker" candies. It's not food, but it is energy. I get the smaller size, around 3/4 inch and with each individually wrapped. I put roughly 8 in snack bag and add this to my car kits. I have had these for years and they are still good to go. They don't melt or go bad from heat. It's another of those "set it and forget it" types of emergency preparedness.

    I got a tip from a friend. Unroll the liter bag and put 2 or 3 of those foil 2 Packs of water purification tablets at the bottom, then roll it back up. That way you always have them where you need them. Same guy always told me to carry a 2 pack and an unlubricated condom in my wallet for the same reason. I like to have one of those fobs with a compass, magnifier & thermometer on the zipper pull of my fleece too.

    much better than split shot sinkers.

I have seen lip balm in a regular screw out tube melt and leak out if it gets too hot. This wastes the petroleum jelly and anything it soaks onto. The "tooth paste" type will contain melted petroleum and help protect the rest of the items in the kit from melted petroleum jelly. Just a suggestion.
