LOL I was raised in a vet clinic, have animals and have done wildlife rehab for years and have most of this stuff in my animal medical kit, so was thinking the same thing!
Ladies: stock up on OTC remedies for urinary tract infections, yeast infections and PMS. Have plenty of sanitary supplies on hand, including pads (even if you prefer tampons) and those “flushable” wipes that aren’t really flushable. Probiotics, magnesium supplements, fiber (such as in dried fruit) and fats are important for keeping your gut working well in stressful conditions. Your husband may have an entire garage full of preps, but he doesn’t want to think about this stuff.
If your an older lady feminine stuff is no longer an issue.... but uti's suck. Many people use cranberry for uti issues, but there are some people who when taking cranberry for their uti issue... it doesn't work. If this is you... then Turmeric may do the trick. I'm one who uses Tumeric powder with my meals and it works fantastic. Plus ladies cut back on the sugar. This causes issues for our gut.
Update; as a boater i get sunburned often. My pharmacist friend told me to use preparation h- Hemorrhoidal Cream. omg took the burn away instantly and no pain for 12 hours. ( i use the dollar tree Hemorrhoidal Cream 1.25 a tube) works great. Covington Ky lady
My grandma was a WWI Red Cross nurse. She taught me a truckload of things. I went to the thrift store and bought lots of sheets. Shred those up, boil them, dry them on high heat in the dryer or in bright sunlight. Roll them up put them in clean brand new ziplock bags. Make sure you thoughly washing your hands. Florence Nightingale discovered that good hand washing saves lives. I am a nurse/EMT. I have a well. You wash a wound boiled and cooled water. You should also have some superglue. Small wounds can be closed with it. I also have dried water lettuce , mullein, peppermint, marshmallow, oregano and many other herbs to use. Yarrow works well as a cotting factor. You need to get a few packs of Quick clot. If you don't have first aid training get it. You can get STERILE syringes from any farm store that carries vet supplies.
All medicinal herbs... even if you have a tiny yard or no yard at all, due to living in an apartment or rental home... herbs can grow in small plants. Herbs like: Plantain Aloe vera Oregano Rosemary Mint Thyme Chives Lemon grass Basil Escapote To name a few....
Someone else already mentioned diarrhea meds but it REALLY needs to be stressed...water won't be as clean as what we're used to, washing dishes might not get clean enough if you have to ration water so there will be tummy issues. People can die of diarrhea due to intense dehydration! Immodium is cheap at the dollar tree. Make sure you have plenty on hand. Another thing I've mentioned before for us ladies is the silicone menstrual cups. Not looking forward to that, but when the tampons/pads run out, it is a solution. I'd rather get used to that than deal with a mess every month. Love your list Steve!
potty pads/puppy pads can be useful for a variety of things including if someone is recovering from a serious injury and leaking fluids but you dont have the resources or ability to change the bed sheets every day. they can keep fluids off of beds and furniture.
@@cherylolivieri6190 some might be, but not the ones i have. they are absorbent pads and it says other uses on the back of the box including human incontinence and messy jobs like oil changes. says great for everyday cleanup and will quickly soak up all liquids.
Chlorhexidine scrub is a great skin/wound cleanser. Chlorhexidine solution is used as cold sterile to soak instruments. I've been working for an old school veterinarian since 1995. I have learned a lot of particle ways. Don't forget the Diphenhydramine/Benadryl this can be used for allergies or helping motion sickness, also it's sedating.
I’ve learned a lot working for a vet too. So much so that maybe a suggestion of a part time job at one to pick up information. A lot of emergency procedures go for pets as well as people, such as CPR. Everyone should that class
I do the same! I have ginger chews, tea, powder... tons of options. I like to keep the little red and white round peppermint candies in the house too. You can get a big bag super cheap.
Update: (for home owners in or out of cities) My parents built a open shed almost the length of the back fence. At both ends they enclosed the first ten feet and placed the access doors inside, under the shed. One of these always contained a well dug and built, out-house, stocked with a couple of bags of lime. (Do your job and toss in a handful of lime for odor control). It kept the dirt from the garden out of the house. The sheds rain gutter kept a couple of 55 gallon drums full of water (one inside and one out). Inside was plumbed to a hand sink. Outside was plumbed to a garden hose we would use to wash off the garden equipment or wash veggies when the neighbors were looking. Mom got many compliments about saving water. Oh if they only knew. If you live in one of these four fine locations in Springfield, Missouri...you're welcome. :) P.S. If you build one...tell NO-ONE. If the water goes off you will have the whole block lined up at your shed.
Recommendation: Self adhesive bandage wrap. It comes in rolls and makes it so easy to apply over injury bandages. I use it on myself and my dogs. Just recently on my own broken foot and dog’s broken toenail. I would also recommend a pair of crutches. When I broke my foot, I knew the bone went back in place, so I wrapped it up and asked a friend to go to the store for me, for the crutches. I’m prepared for hopefully never needing them again lol
The self adhesive bandages rolls are sol at farm & ranch stores for a lower price than pharmacies. A lot of other veterinary supplies are sold there, too.
I prefer oral syringes over eye droppers for most things like flushing out wounds and dosing. Temporary tooth repair kit and eye wash come in handy when away from medical/dental care. "Generic" vet wrap, bug spray, burn cream, aloe (keep a plant if possible), BENADRYL, Imodium, Chapstick (more uses than just lips) a book of natural remedies. Sanitary pads and/or diapers are super absorbent for larger wounds and may have trade value, butterfly bandages or steri strips, tweezers, razors (remove hair from wounds), surgical scrub brush/sponge, super glue, mylar emergency blankets (shock), repair kit for glasses & spare pair(s), reading glasses, First aid kit for pets/animals if you have them. I also have a little folding saw for camping and a little emergency cable saw in my backpack. It's not fun to use to cut wood, but it's tiny, takes up no space and weighs nothing and it eventually gets the job done if you need to splint something out on the trail.
10:21 note that Tylenol & ibuprofen provide their pain relief by very different mechanisms of action. This is why you can take both together at full strength. The reason I use less is 1/2 dose of each gave me way better pain relief than whole dose of either. If 1/2 dose does the trick, you significantly reduce your risk of side effects.
You added some things to my prep that I have been thinking about! Thanks!! You can get rechargeable AA batteries in the solar lights for your garden...the sun recharges them too!!
@@muddyshoesgardener The ones that cost a dollar, yes. I have some globe ones that charge up every day. The cheap, flat-top ones, not so much. I do have battery chargers if I need them, but I just have them in a large pot to charge up for me to use in the house when the power goes out.
Watch out on some of the solar lamps. I’ve run across some that have an odd sized battery. Most do take an AAA. With a little work, you can use them to charge other batteries by adding wires to the connector, and taping the other ends to the battery poles. It’s crude, but it works.
In the case of sub zero weather...a box of those instant snap hand warmers can potentially save a life. Candles, matches, fire starter cubes. Supplies to build a simple outdoor rocket stove.
Here’s a few Sutures Butterfly Bandaids Benadryl Cortizone Triple Antibiotic Ointment Halls cough drops Burn Ointment Paper plates Adults no rise bathing wipes Toilet seat for 5 gallon buckets Heavy duty 8-10 gallon trash bag for the buckets. Poo absorbent or saw dust Bars of soap to wash hands If you have a power back up for your home. Look for CCTV system that can work with out internet. Have multiple ways to cook food. Stay ready & Stay safe.
A portable nebulizer that runs on batteries. I have asthma and if I need a treatment but no power I can use it In an emergency. It's small but powerful. It also plugs in but can be good to travel with also.
A few more things that come to mind; Headlamps are a Must in all of my first aid kits, because bad things often happen at night and there isn't always someone to hold a flashlight. Burn cream is also handy because someone will always grab a hot pot handle or something if you are working around campfires. Bug repellent, because bug bites will drive you nuts. There are also bug-borne diseases, and it is nearly impossible to sleep when swarmed by blood-sucking bugs. Hydrogen Peroxide has medical uses, as well as cleaning and sterilization uses. It also has uses in the garden. Vet wrap is great for binding wounds and is much cheaper than the human version, Coban.
Magnesium is good for a laxative too, especially the citrate version. There is also a bandage that uses a form of zip ties to close the wound. It has two sticky pads with the zip tie attached. Look for tattoo numbing cream, I have seen some claiming 20% lidocaine. Another thing to get is saline for eye wash. Also boric acid has multiple medical uses.
Update: today I went to Walmart at my local little town and they have the Keystone beef yet more clearance for a $1.75 and the Keystone chicken was $2.75. Now just a couple of weeks ago I believe I had gone to Walmart and they had clearance the beef or they were on sale for $4 for the beef and $3.50 I believe for the chicken . Needless to say I bought all of the beef cans LOL and three more chicken cans
I would boil keystone for 10 minutes before eating. My cans got a bulge so I threw them out. Hope yours are from a different date but since I can a lot I tend to be worried about botulism. It’s not perfect for the meat etc but if there are no hospitals it would be a good idea.
Love this video! I have just about all these things but always could use more. I also have a dental kit and a dental repair kit (fill a cavity). I do have disposable scalpels but do like the dissection kit and the stapler, which I will be purchasing. Steve is absolutely correct about using a tourniquet, it needs to be really tight. It can do more harm than good. Please friends do not use hydrogen peroxide on wounds, we all grew up on this wise tale. Also, do not use a tampon for gunshot wounds. Thanks Steve! Have a Blessed day everyone.
Hydrogen Peroxide should be used on a new dirty wound. Wash the wound, pour peroxide, pat dry with sterile guaze. Apply antibiotic ointment. Going forward, do not use peroxide again on that wound. It eats up bacteria but also removes new skin cells. ER nurse 20 yrs.
If you pressure can you can make your own normal saline. If I remember correctly it’s 2 cups distilled water and one teaspoon sea salt. Look it up to make sure. 😊
Yes, some kind of eye drops/saline is important to keep in your general medicine supplies. Even if it isn't a disaster scenario you do not want to have to run to the store to get some when there is something in your eye.
Also multiple sizes of wire cutters for fishing and hunting. I took my nephew to the hardware store and had him pick out the wire cutters needed for the smallest, midsize and largest fish hooks people use on the lake he fishes. I clean them good with alcohol and dry thoroughly. Wrap end with small pieces of gauze vacuum seal. I also had him pick out 2 pairs of wire cutters for barbed wire since they are still finding on their property and he other pair goes in his truck for when helping neighbors
To store you items with batteries, you can cut a tab out of a lid from a milk carton and insert between battery and contact...like the tab you have to pull when you buy brand new.
I just opened a package of protein powder that was expired by a year. It smelled and tasted fine and I didn't get sick. So now I plan to always keep some on hand for emergencies.
Bismuth will kill H. pylori bacteria, the cause of stomach ulcers. In my case, I had a seeping skin rash everywhere, except face and hands. It appears that I’m one of a few people on the planet who is allergic to H. pylori. I had two weeks of Pepto-Bismol along with other antibiotics, etc. in order to get rid of it. Entirely bad situation from start to finish but it’s been gone for years.
SALT, particularly Celtic salt & Redmond sslt! Plus, electrolyte powder mixes will save your life if you get dehydrated from exertion, sweating & diarrhea, which is more likely when your eating questionable foods or drinking water from unknown sources.
Q On the survive alone show, a medical doctor, who participated in the show, recommended: SALT AND SUGAR = electrolyte with water. Helps you keep going. Where he called it quits: he lacked enough calories and multivitamins. To have healthy bodily functions, he needed all 4 categories. Keep this in mind when prepping your supplies. Q❤
@@jennifervondeylen7362They were allowed to take 1 lb. Of salt. The doc made a mix of salt, sugar, potassium and magnesium. He has a channel, Survival Doc.
Thank you Steve this video was very helpful! I would also advise to get 1) Emergency Laceration Closures - for repair wounds 2) Rescue Burn kit - will assist with any kind of burns
I started building our first aid kit years ago with a small duffle bag, easy for grabbing and carrying. My supplies spilled over into a large tote over time.
Hi ...most nessesary video ! Excellent.. Also get a different size selection of of vinyl adhesive patches with the gauze in the center! . A must for cuts, wounds . Avoid paper tape, can fall off or stick so tight it pulls a lsyer of skin up, with the hair too .
Large sterile syringes are good for flushing wounds, fairly cheap at feed stores. Also, I recommend saline solution in a spray can for cleaning wounds! Don't forget eye wash and tooth ache meds as well!
I second person about tampons. They also work great for bandages. Panty liners make great Band-Aids with duct tape lol. Works when you don’t have anything else in miles away from the store.
Ihave tampons and severval sizes of pads. I dont need, since im a senior adult. Tampons are great for gun shot wound or anything deep. Panty liners are good used as a bandage. Full pads and diapers are good for large, bleeding wounds.
Infections/Sepsis is more likely to be the fatality to join RTC (Room Temperature Challenge) than the hemorrhaging aspects. However I agree, tourniquets, ace bandages and quik clot are marvelous to have.
I grew up in communist Romania. In 1988 I fell over a piece of metal and got myself a large gash on my lower leg. They didn't have those surgical threads with the needle attached, you know what I mean, to sew my wound back up. The "emergency room" at a clinic, basically a room with a bed and a nurse, took a piece of sewing thread and a regular needle and soaked them in iodine, then disinfected my wound by wiping it with iodine and sewed me right back up. No anesthesia, nothing. 36 years later and I still am alive. Believe me, you get inventive.
I have been picking up things such as arm slings, ankle, knee and wrist braces when I see them on sale. Sometimes you can find them at thrift stores and then wash them. I wouldn't mind finding some crutches and a cane. Don't forget about what the babies and children might need as well. 👍 Great video.
Steve I hove a bunch of amazon basic rechargeable and other brands I've found that the rechargeable reads 1.4 volts and alkaline 1.5 volts and the total length from +to- on rechargeable is a tad bit shorter just enough to use aluminum to make contact in some devices.
What kills me about your channel and I have so much more respect for you I feel into the minister food missing economy stuff ..omg now your rocking this to normal Americans that don't prep and info to help them prep so badass this man is a real badass
70% alcohol is better. I'm not a chemist myself, but my college chemistry professor explained that 70% destroys the cell walls of bacteria more efficiently than 90% due to the water content helping with penetration. The higher water content also slows evaporation.
Hi Steve I'd like to add one more thing to your emergency pepper medical kit if you think it's worth mentioning. I have a portable suction device that can be used in case someone is choking. I'm going to make an emergency medical kit for each of my kids for Christmas. I'll go to the dollar store & buy a couple of medium clear plastic totes & full them with all the things you mentioned plus a few things your followers have written in the comments. As always I enjoy both your Poplar reports & Poplar Bible study. Keep up the good work. I look forward to hearing your updates everyday. Take care & God Bless 🙏
Heimlich manoevre is a lot quicker. You have a minute before someone loses consciousness. It will take too long to get the device where it is packed away. I know, because someone in my family passed away a month ago due to choking. The biggest mistake was that he did not indicate that he was choking, so nobody knew what was wrong and could not help him. He stood up from the dinner table and toppled over. Everyone thought he had a heart attack. The autopsy revealed that he was fit as a fiddle at the age of 73 and he choked on a piece of steak. Lessons learned: Inform everyone to indicate when you choke and know how to do the Heimlich manoevre. Even on children and babies. Blessings 🙏
We stock something else for "holes" you might not have thought of. By holes I do mean from kinetic projectiles or hurricane force pieces of pipe, wood etc. Tampons. Some have sticks to insert, others have cardboard tubes, but they all have a string to pull them back out.
I liked your post a lot. I have two thirds of the items mentioned, but not sure about expiration dates on things like aspirin and Tylenol. Are the expiration dates real? I also include Benadryl for insect bites, stings and allergies. I am prepping for a grown family who don’t seem to see the need. We could use these items even in a weather disaster which is becoming a regular threat. Thanks for the info. It will help me complete a basic emergency supply. God bless.
Redmond salt, sugar, gauze, syringes, needles, medical kit & iodine for sure. Over the counter favorites, vaseline,vicks, theraflu,antihistamines, pain meds such as aspirin. Sn herbal garden or patio parts of mint,Oregano, sage,rosemary.
Go to thrift shops and look for adult (or baby) diapers. Cut it, turn inside out, and you have absorbent material all the way around. I have a video up about improvising and saving money on first aid supplies. Learn emergency procedures- don't just hope that a medic like me will be around... A lot of these 'preppers' are giving advice that isn't practical- or inexpensive.
There have been some scientific studies that show the 50-70% isopropyl alcohols were almost as effective as the 90% (like there was a miniscule difference, I believe less than a 0.5% difference). I worked in a research lab for several years, and we only used 70%. The key is that 70% takes a few seconds longer to kill off all the bacteria vs. 90%. We were taught to cover the counters/equipment (completely drench it) and let the 70% sit for a minimum of 15 seconds. If it dried up before the end of the 15 seconds, we didn't use enough of it, and we had to wet it again. If we ever used the 90%, we only had to let it set for 10 seconds. Those were just the common practices in my lab! Can anyone else confirm similar practices?
For medical use, 70% is fine for disinfection, on both skin or for instruments. 50% may not be, since they recommended that hand sanitizer be at least 60% alcohol, but if it’s all you had, it could work with longer exposure. If you had to use drinking alcohol to sanitize something, go with straight vodka. It contains no sugars or other ingredients that could exacerbate infection. Gin would also be acceptable, if that’s all you had.
I would add old-fashioned thermometers that don't require batteries, both oral and rectal. Rectal works better for babies/young kids and people who are nonresponsive. Manual blood pressure monitors and stethoscopes will also be good to have. Stay frosty, friends!
Alcohol is actually used to prep skin to inject or cut. If you already have a wound, you could damage the cells further. Saline solution (salt water solution) is best for keeping infections away.

In a pinch, you can use cayenne pepper to stop bleeding. No, it won't burn. I learned this from amish lady

Re: Bleed Stop.
Learn to identify Yarrow. Yarrow can be dried and powdered then used as a blood clotting product with similar results.
I've seen hemostatic gauze that's homeopathic, it uses kaolin clay to stop bleeding. I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen it online.
It looks a lot like Poison Hemlock so please be careful! Hemlock has purple, splotched, and hollow stems.
Peppermint oil and/or ginger for nausea. Its a life-saver for me.
I do the same! I have ginger chews, tea, powder... tons of options. I like to keep the little red and white round peppermint candies in the house too. You can get a big bag super cheap.

For laxatives, make sure you have a few cans of prunes in natural juice in stock. 6 prunes with a litter of water, best there is.
Update: (for home owners in or out of cities) My parents built a open shed almost the length of the back fence.

@@muddyshoesgardener The ones that cost a dollar, yes. I have some globe ones that charge up every day. The cheap, flat-top ones, not so much. I do have battery chargers if I need them, but I just have them in a large pot to charge up for me to use in the house when the power goes out.
Watch out on some of the solar lamps. I’ve run across some that have an odd sized battery. Most do take an AAA. With a little work, you can use them to charge other batteries by adding wires to the connector, and taping the other ends to the battery poles. It’s crude, but it works.
In the case of sub zero weather...a box of those instant snap hand warmers can potentially save a life. Candles, matches, fire starter cubes. Supplies to build a simple outdoor rocket stove.
Here’s a few
Sutures Butterfly Bandaids
Benadryl
Cortizone
Triple Antibiotic Ointment
Halls cough drops
Burn Ointment
Paper plates
Adults no rise bathing wipes
Toilet seat for 5 gallon buckets
Heavy duty 8-10 gallon trash bag for the buckets.
Poo absorbent or saw dust
Bars of soap to wash hands
If you have a power back up for your home. Look for CCTV system that can work with out internet.
Have multiple ways to cook food.
Stay ready & Stay safe.
❤
Cut up a pool noodle as a seat for the toilet bucket & have crystal kitty litter for it.
A portable nebulizer that runs on batteries. I have asthma and if I need a treatment but no power I can use it In an emergency. It's small but powerful. It also plugs in but can be good to travel with also.
Do you need a prescription or cam this be found in the stores?
@@jessicapabon2105
@@jessicapabon2105 You need a prescription for a nebulizer. I want to get one, since I don't want to go to the ER for a breathing treatment.
Thanks for this info. I use a nebuliser but had no idea that you could buy a battery operated one.😀😀
@@jessicapabon2105Amazon or “some” Drug Stores or MED SUPPLY place
A few more things that come to mind;
Headlamps are a Must in all of my first aid kits, because bad things often happen at night and there isn't always someone to hold a flashlight.
Burn cream is also handy because someone will always grab a hot pot handle or something if you are working around campfires.
Bug repellent, because bug bites will drive you nuts. There are also bug-borne diseases, and it is nearly impossible to sleep when swarmed by blood-sucking bugs.
Hydrogen Peroxide has medical uses, as well as cleaning and sterilization uses. It also has uses in the garden.
Vet wrap is great for binding wounds and is much cheaper than the human version, Coban.
❤
Bug repellent is a must and so many overlook this.
Magnesium is good for a laxative too, especially the citrate version. There is also a bandage that uses a form of zip ties to close the wound. It has two sticky pads with the zip tie attached. Look for tattoo numbing cream, I have seen some claiming 20% lidocaine. Another thing to get is saline for eye wash. Also boric acid has multiple medical uses.
Update: today I went to Walmart at my local little town and they have the Keystone beef yet more clearance for a $1.75 and the Keystone chicken was $2.75. Now just a couple of weeks ago I believe I had gone to Walmart and they had clearance the beef or they were on sale for $4 for the beef and $3.50 I believe for the chicken . Needless to say I bought all of the beef cans LOL and three more chicken cans
I would boil keystone for 10 minutes before eating. My cans got a bulge so I threw them out. Hope yours are from a different date but since I can a lot I tend to be worried about botulism. It’s not perfect for the meat etc but if there are no hospitals it would be a good idea.
Love this video! I have just about all these things but always could use more. I also have a dental kit and a dental repair kit (fill a cavity). I do have disposable scalpels but do like the dissection kit and the stapler, which I will be purchasing. Steve is absolutely correct about using a tourniquet, it needs to be really tight. It can do more harm than good. Please friends do not use hydrogen peroxide on wounds, we all grew up on this wise tale. Also, do not use a tampon for gunshot wounds. Thanks Steve! Have a Blessed day everyone.
Hydrogen Peroxide should be used on a new dirty wound. Wash the wound, pour peroxide, pat dry with sterile guaze. Apply antibiotic ointment. Going forward, do not use peroxide again on that wound. It eats up bacteria but also removes new skin cells. ER nurse 20 yrs.
Shelf life of some products mentioned need to be adhered to.I just checked some in my preps that need replacing.
Don't forget to buy sterile Saline to flush eyes. Pink eye meds, etc. Flushing an eye injury. 😊
If you pressure can you can make your own normal saline. If I remember correctly it’s 2 cups distilled water and one teaspoon sea salt. Look it up to make sure. 😊
Yes, some kind of eye drops/saline is important to keep in your general medicine supplies. Even if it isn't a disaster scenario you do not want to have to run to the store to get some when there is something in your eye.
Great video thanks again 👍👍👍👍👍❤
These types of classes should be taught to kids in school.
People would be more self sufficient if that happened.
Also multiple sizes of wire cutters for fishing and hunting. I took my nephew to the hardware store and had him pick out the wire cutters needed for the smallest, midsize and largest fish hooks people use on the lake he fishes. I clean them good with alcohol and dry thoroughly. Wrap end with small pieces of gauze vacuum seal. I also had him pick out 2 pairs of wire cutters for barbed wire since they are still finding on their property and he other pair goes in his truck for when helping neighbors
To store you items with batteries, you can cut a tab out of a lid from a milk carton and insert between battery and contact...like the tab you have to pull when you buy brand new.
Protein powder and multivitamins are a must. Often preps tend to be carb heavy and vitamin/ protein short
I just opened a package of protein powder that was expired by a year. It smelled and tasted fine and I didn't get sick. So now I plan to always keep some on hand for emergencies.
Any brand suggestions for protein powder?
Bismuth will kill H. pylori bacteria, the cause of stomach ulcers. In my case, I had a seeping skin rash everywhere, except face and hands. It appears that I’m one of a few people on the planet who is allergic to H. pylori. I had two weeks of Pepto-Bismol along with other antibiotics, etc. in order to get rid of it. Entirely bad situation from start to finish but it’s been gone for years.
Wasn't the bismuth that killed the H Pylori, it was the antibiotics.
Great video! Really enjoyed this because I found some holes in my preps I need to plug. Thank you!!
SALT, particularly Celtic salt & Redmond sslt! Plus, electrolyte powder mixes will save your life if you get dehydrated from exertion, sweating & diarrhea, which is more likely when your eating questionable foods or drinking water from unknown sources.
Q
On the survive alone show, a medical doctor, who participated in the show, recommended:
SALT AND SUGAR = electrolyte with water. Helps you keep going. Where he called it quits: he lacked enough calories and multivitamins.
To have healthy bodily functions, he needed all 4 categories. Keep this in mind when prepping your supplies.
Q❤
I totally get what you're saying, but on the show Alone, I don't think they can take food items with them.
@@jennifervondeylen7362They were allowed to take 1 lb. Of salt. The doc made a mix of salt, sugar, potassium and magnesium. He has a channel, Survival Doc.
I think he has a class on medical preparedness. Can't remember his name but he was on Canadian Prepper not long ago.
Thank you Steve and All for sharing these great tools needed for any happening in life. Have a Blessed Day All ❤
Don't forget Ivermectin......
Burn gel, lip balm, vaporub, antibiotic ointment, eye wash, Q tips, aloe vera gel.
Thank you Steve this video was very helpful! I would also advise to get
1) Emergency Laceration Closures - for repair wounds
2) Rescue Burn kit - will assist with any kind of burns
I started building our first aid kit years ago with a small duffle bag, easy for grabbing and carrying. My supplies spilled over into a large tote over time.
Hi ...most nessesary video ! Excellent.. Also get a different size selection of of vinyl adhesive patches with the gauze in the center! . A must for cuts, wounds . Avoid paper tape, can fall off or stick so tight it pulls a lsyer of skin up, with the hair too .
An old fashioned hot water bottle- can be filled with hot for aches and pains or cold to bring down swelling.
i just got the last 6 boxes of blood stop to add to preps it works fantastic
Oral thermometer-- glass, under the tongue kind
Good old baking soda does have the same job and half tsp in 2” of water works for most issues.
Large sterile syringes are good for flushing wounds, fairly cheap at feed stores. Also, I recommend saline solution in a spray can for cleaning wounds! Don't forget eye wash and tooth ache meds as well!
Thank you, Steve!!
Lots of great information thanks.
God bless you 🙏 and yours
Thanks for the reminders, much appreciated!👍 The gauze says non-sterile under "Details", sterile when you scroll down....🤔
I second person about tampons. They also work great for bandages. Panty liners make great Band-Aids with duct tape lol. Works when you don’t have anything else in miles away from the store.
Saved many hog dogs from bleeding out from puncture wounds with the tampons.
You can also use tampons for emergency strainer for water purification
Ihave tampons and severval sizes of pads. I dont need, since im a senior adult. Tampons are great for gun shot wound or anything deep. Panty liners are good used as a bandage. Full pads and diapers are good for large, bleeding wounds.
Works for severe nose bleeds too! I know. I get them often and I use a tampon in the nose and lay down till bleed stops.
Quick clot is one of your most medical preps you can get.
Infections/Sepsis is more likely to be the fatality to join RTC (Room Temperature Challenge) than the hemorrhaging aspects. However I agree, tourniquets, ace bandages and quik clot are marvelous to have.
Superglue
Dead Sea salt . And don’t forget to get a wet vacuum to pick up water if your pipes break
I grew up in communist Romania. In 1988 I fell over a piece of metal and got myself a large gash on my lower leg. They didn't have those surgical threads with the needle attached, you know what I mean, to sew my wound back up. The "emergency room" at a clinic, basically a room with a bed and a nurse, took a piece of sewing thread and a regular needle and soaked them in iodine, then disinfected my wound by wiping it with iodine and sewed me right back up. No anesthesia, nothing. 36 years later and I still am alive. Believe me, you get inventive.
Thank you.
Absolutely true.
God bless our olden days basic common sense senses and survival intuitions. And a dose of faith in the Living GOD. Amen
Update Hot peppers will help with stomach problems too.
Like what kind of digestive problems,
@@JuanitaClarkGarcia It kills out a lot of water born bacteria.
This here is a really good video - I like this video a lot - great information
Benzocaine. Powdered USP for topical pain
Go to your local pet stores and see if they still sell " fish" antibiotics.
…kaolin clay powder is what what quikclot is embedded with…2lb bag about $15-$20…
Thank you for sharing! Going to get some of this.
Cayenne pepper & mustard in your vitamin e in kit
I have been picking up things such as arm slings, ankle, knee and wrist braces when I see them on sale. Sometimes you can find them at thrift stores and then wash them. I wouldn't mind finding some crutches and a cane. Don't forget about what the babies and children might need as well. 👍 Great video.
Steve I hove a bunch of amazon basic rechargeable and other brands I've found that the rechargeable reads 1.4 volts and alkaline 1.5 volts and the total length from +to- on rechargeable is a tad bit shorter just enough to use aluminum to make contact in some devices.
What kills me about your channel and I have so much more respect for you I feel into the minister food missing economy stuff ..omg now your rocking this to normal Americans that don't prep and info to help them prep so badass this man is a real badass
Thanks! Lots of information packed in here
70% alcohol is better. I'm not a chemist myself, but my college chemistry professor explained that 70% destroys the cell walls of bacteria more efficiently than 90% due to the water content helping with penetration. The higher water content also slows evaporation.
Thanks steve for the list.
I got all of these and more but good list. 👍
Hi Steve I'd like to add one more thing to your emergency pepper medical kit if you think it's worth mentioning. I have a portable suction device that can be used in case someone is choking. I'm going to make an emergency medical kit for each of my kids for Christmas. I'll go to the dollar store & buy a couple of medium clear plastic totes & full them with all the things you mentioned plus a few things your followers have written in the comments. As always I enjoy both your Poplar reports & Poplar Bible study. Keep up the good work. I look forward to hearing your updates everyday. Take care & God Bless 🙏
Heimlich manoevre is a lot quicker. You have a minute before someone loses consciousness. It will take too long to get the device where it is packed away.
I know, because someone in my family passed away a month ago due to choking.
The biggest mistake was that he did not indicate that he was choking, so nobody knew what was wrong and could not help him.
He stood up from the dinner table and toppled over. Everyone thought he had a heart attack.
The autopsy revealed that he was fit as a fiddle at the age of 73 and he choked on a piece of steak.
Lessons learned: Inform everyone to indicate when you choke and know how to do the Heimlich manoevre. Even on children and babies.
Blessings 🙏
@@JudithVanZylJansen So sorry to hear of your loss- that must have been awful for everyone. God Bless 🙏
I purchase a lot from farm stores, veterinary area.
Alot of these basic meds can be found in nature or you can grow them
I also have stocked up on splints. They can be cut to size.
Good content. Valuable info. Will be clicking on some links.
All good, practical suggestions. ❤️👍🇺🇲 FJB, ET AL.
Thanks for the information 👍
We stock something else for "holes" you might not have thought of. By holes I do mean from kinetic projectiles or hurricane force pieces of pipe, wood etc. Tampons. Some have sticks to insert, others have cardboard tubes, but they all have a string to pull them back out.
The cups are even better. Wash and reuse

@@John-ej3yc I think they meant bullet hole.
@@patches1483 you are correct.
Thanks good stuff. Appreciate you very much.
That’s what those sulfur smelling burps are!!! 2:42 can’t believe by doctors didn’t know that when I mentioned it!
I liked your post a lot. I have two thirds of the items mentioned, but not sure about expiration dates on things like aspirin and Tylenol. Are the expiration dates real? I also include Benadryl for insect bites, stings and allergies. I am prepping for a grown family who don’t seem to see the need. We could use these items even in a weather disaster which is becoming a regular threat. Thanks for the info. It will help me complete a basic emergency supply. God bless.
Tylenol should be fine, but I heard aspirin can turn toxic. I'd look into it too make sure.
Your badass for being a minister js wow ive follow you for 4 months and your channel has changed so much badass Steve
Scarlet oil is great for wounds and will help heal anything twice as fast.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!

Dental kit
scalpels
Can you use sanitary pads if needed very absorbent
Yes. They are useful for larger wounds, or one where the bandage would need changed frequently.
Go to thrift shops and look for adult (or baby) diapers. Cut it, turn inside out, and you have absorbent material all the way around. I have a video up about improvising and saving money on first aid supplies. Learn emergency procedures- don't just hope that a medic like me will be around... A lot of these 'preppers' are giving advice that isn't practical- or inexpensive.
Thanks for the reminders.
Appreciate the information.thx
There have been some scientific studies that show the 50-70% isopropyl alcohols were almost as effective as the 90% (like there was a miniscule difference, I believe less than a 0.5% difference). I worked in a research lab for several years, and we only used 70%. The key is that 70% takes a few seconds longer to kill off all the bacteria vs. 90%. We were taught to cover the counters/equipment (completely drench it) and let the 70% sit for a minimum of 15 seconds. If it dried up before the end of the 15 seconds, we didn't use enough of it, and we had to wet it again. If we ever used the 90%, we only had to let it set for 10 seconds. Those were just the common practices in my lab! Can anyone else confirm similar practices?
For medical use, 70% is fine for disinfection, on both skin or for instruments. 50% may not be, since they recommended that hand sanitizer be at least 60% alcohol, but if it’s all you had, it could work with longer exposure. If you had to use drinking alcohol to sanitize something, go with straight vodka. It contains no sugars or other ingredients that could exacerbate infection. Gin would also be acceptable, if that’s all you had.
70% is in fact better than 90%.
I would add old-fashioned thermometers that don't require batteries, both oral and rectal. Rectal works better for babies/young kids and people who are nonresponsive. Manual blood pressure monitors and stethoscopes will also be good to have. Stay frosty, friends!
Scarlet oil is great, it's iodine on steroids, find it at farm supply stores. Yup, it's for critters, so it's ok for you too.
Thank you. 😊
I was told that the 70% alcohol is actually better for disinfecting than the 90%. I don't know why exactly, but don't sweat over getting the 70%.
90% is also great for burning and is often easier to find for oil lamps. It is a two purpose prep!
Alcohol is actually used to prep skin to inject or cut. If you already have a wound, you could damage the cells further. Saline solution (salt water solution) is best for keeping infections away.
Great video and great ideas.
New subscriber. Lol. 😊 Update. No low dose aspirin at WalMart today
