- I've received a number of requests to do a video on a basic first aid kit for Bushcraft, Fishing and Survival. This is my first aid kit, it is tailored to suit my needs, your needs might be different so please don't take this video as a "you must have this" type of thing. Take from it what you want. I explain everything that is in my first aid kit and why it is in there. I hope it is helpful to some of you and feel free to share what you guys keep in your first aid kits in the description below.

Just to clarify - This is NOT a Trauma Kit. I keep that separate and it's far easier to access than the first ait kit for emergency purposes. The trauma kit I have includes: Haemostatic Gauze Dressing, Tourniquet and Israeli Bandage (Trauma wound dressing).
you and the old nut could do 5 items each survival challenge in the woods? overnighter, maybe just shelter fire food water?
What do you think about finger splints and quick clot in a small trauma kit?
the face shield is to prevent blood born pathagenes like aids it also stop them from puking in your mouth when they start breathing good video iwould take you out with me im in uk aswell
TA Outdoors you should ad dental floss and a thimble
Just Incase the cut is deep and you have to sew it shut.
I would like to see you make that sling with only one working arm :-)
About 12 years ago I was in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area with my son-in-law and received a minor paper cut from a fish hook. I did not clean it as it was minor and it resulted in a blood born infection over night. By the time my son-in-law carried me out, less than 24 hrs later and transported me to the hospital I was close to death. Five days in the intensive care and five weeks of home care I was finally able to go back to work. Seeing this video is a much needed and appreciated heads up for all campers/bush craft enthusiast . Thank you for this and for the record I have one in the car, back pack, and garage for those nicks and cuts. Safety first and then you can enjoy many more trips into the bush.
"Man what's a plaster man what the hells that?" I love it. Great video awesome awesome kit great explanation great video.
Never , ever cut corners with you're medical equipment and always keep you're equipment up to date.👌👍 mike buddy thanks for sharing your video.
Had a lot of questions about my First Aid Kit - Probably the most important item you need if you are going on an adventure! What's your most essential items in your first aid kit?
Dude as a combat medic in the Australian Army, the only advice I have is don't unroll your bandages. Much quicker and easier to apply (and hygienic) to keep wrapped. Other than that good kit.
We keep petroleum jelly, seams to help seal small wounds once they’re clean.
Don't forget a tournaqet,quick clot,Israeli bandages,some SAMS splints and maybe just a few other major important items to go with that kit.
TA Outdoors more essential to me is quick clot gauze, Israeli bandage, and a tourniquet.
My suture strips probably ! Useful to have around in case I cut myself pretty bad with my knife or, Óðinn helps me, with my axe. For "medium" cuts I suppose.
that long strip of plaster is something I have never seen here in the US, that is a very clever design! nice little kit!! I also keep a space blanket in my first aid kit, I also keep gloves in it
We have in TX. My hubby and I stumbled across some.
Leukotape
Being a medic myself, I was browsing through all of your vids for this one (and if there hadn't been one, it would have been my suggestion ;) )
Nice kit, somewhat similar to mine. That mirror, being credit card sized, can come in handy to remove splinters as well, I guess. I carry a pair of foldable scissors, for even less space.
I was wondering: I didn't see anything insect-related, like a tick remover or an insect sting kit. Do you carry it? Or maybe your surroundings don't have many ticks and other bugs?
And I guess, one of the best first aid tips you can give is to go out and follow a course somewhere. Knowledge of what you're doing/what (not) to do is perhaps the best piece of kit you can have.
Great work!
Great video and nice kit!
At work, we carry alot of vet wrap, normally intended for horses, for a great all around bandage. Its great for outdoor use as it's super tough, self adhesive, and works when wet.
Love the video as always, cheers!
You could also cut a plastic straw to cover the end of the scissor and tweezer.
Great compact edc kit. What I'd add is a quikclot sponge/gauze, some burn cream, and a bit of moleskin. The moleskin always comes in handy. The quikclot is more of an emergency item, but it doesn't take up much space and it saves lives, slows bleeding real fast. Been edcing a quikclot gauze on person for a while. And burn cream is self explanatory.
Thank you, I learned a few new things. Like the mirror and the extra antiseptic/bandaids thumbs up.
Nice video. Nice little kit. You should do a video on your trauma kit for the people who don't seem to understand this is a simple first aid kit and not a trauma kit. Both First Aide kits and trauma kits are put together by personal preference. As a former combat medic I can voucher for this. Every medic does things slightly different from other medics. There is no "only way" there is just "a way". I'm not sure why people get so offended if people don't do things they way others think it should be done. Thanks for sharing bud, stay safe.
Thanks buddy, think people are quick to jump on the keyboards and judge without being patient. I agree though, there is no "only way" just "a way".
TA Outdoors Keep up the good work bud,I like your vids and like to try things that other folks do to see if they are better or worse than the way I do things. I also like finding new things to try and if I can improve it any. The great thing about bushcraft is it forces you to think outside the box. Thanks again.
Nice kit, simple and effective. I really like that case too. Thanks for sharing.
Uncle bills sliver gripper, more compact, very good grip on splinters etc too.
Sterets wipes are good for a very compact "urban" first aid kit.
Bandages, mini flashlight/ torch , whistle, tape and thanks to you definitely a mini mirror. Great video , very informative and love them all. Best regards from Northern Canada.
Great vid just subbed followed your old feller for years reading his stories in angling times when I was in my teens
Hey Mike just a thing to note- rewrapping/repackaging a sterile bandage, it will no longer be sterile. In a backcountry/emergency situation that may not matter so much but something to keep in mind. CPR is still a good thing to know and having a mask with a one way valve is a good item to have especially if you happen to need to treat a stranger. FYI - you can get tuberculosis from doing CPR on someone with TB and sometimes those needing CPR can have vomit or blood on their face.
Great video once again, always entertained with your videos!
First aid kits are very important and This is an amazing bush craft channel ever seen on UA-cam and I’m glad to support this channel forever and I’m glad that the videos he does a very educational for people to learn bush craft skills and learning about our door activities and I’m glad his showing this first-aid kit video and the father and son due are amazing and I am personally glad to support this amazing bushcraft channel and father and son due too 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴
thanks for the link! All in one place and very usefull stuff!
Nice little kit Mike. I definitely like that long plaster that you can customize to the fit of the wound. I will have to look around for those, I have never seen them here in the US.
Your channel is the one that inspired me to start Bushcraft. I'm about to post my first video! You're awesome. Keep doing this.
Mountain Mike , I subscribed. Good luck.
Lmao. The plaster explanation, in my head I need to look it up, and then you explained perfectly and did an amazing American Accent.! Haha made me laugh. Love it
LOL I was getting a kick out of that "plaster" terminology, took me a bit to put 2 and 2 together. Thanks for breaking it down for us lamens! =) Been watching alot of these of outdoors videos lately and decided to put together an EDC first aid kit. I like your kit, gave me a load of ideas but this is what I rock, fartin around the concrete jungle.
I keep a load of bandages: 4 different sizes for a total of 12 plus an additional 4 butterfly types, 2 antiseptic wipes, 2 alcohol wipes, 2 antibiotic creams, 2 burn creams, 4 gauze pads, Ibuprofen 10x, and medical tape. All grouped in their own perspective ziplock baggies, all of this is then tucked into one large ziplock.
The rest of my EDC pouch consists of a Mylar blanket, P38 & P51 can opener, a pro-Sharpie, spare pen, a highlighter, tactical pen, a Ferro-rod, some tinfoil wrapped around cardboard, A1S Flashlight, 2 spare 18650 batteries in a waterproof case and 2 spare cell phone batteries in a ziplock baggie. I haven't found a small enough case yet. All riding comfortably on my hip. My wallet rides in my left pocket with ecig running on a 4th 18650 battery( the flashlight is always loaded with a 3rd), keys hang from a carabiner to left of my EDC pouch, freeing up my right pocket for misc. items. Last but not least a Gerber Suspension multi-tool concealed under my shirt above my left pocket(work doesn't allow anything but their own safety knives) Sure it's a bit heavy/overkill but my coworkers have needed the bandages and Ibufprofen more than I, so it's proven useful more than once!
Nice vid! I like watching nature, explore and decompress...
Thats a great little first aid kit thanks for sharing
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, definitely food for thought.
Military1st is a great site! Used it myself would definitely recommend. Competitive prices and great quality.
I always look forward to it when you upload a video
A nice pocket kit mate, you've reminded me that I need to get some dioralyte or similar, been meaning to....
Mine is a little bigger (not massively) and I can get in 3 eye wash skooshers, they double up for wound clearance, never had to do it myself (and hopefully never will) so can't vouch for the effectiveness but that's the theory. I also carry a field dressing, nothing fancy and while ironically from Israel, not an Israeli bandage, like you keep a rolled out bandage at the top of yours, I keep it fairly easy to grab in case of a serious 'whoopsy'. I have a similar 'boo boo' system, I always keep some plaster and wipes in a second wallet, it has all sorts of bits and bobs and is carried pretty much every time I walk out the front door.
Always enjoy seeing how others do it though, thanks for showing us.
Yep, that’s about the size of first aid kit I have. Got a bigger kit on my van, & even bigger in my caravan, & a whole cabinet at home 😂. Piriton tablets are something I like to carry just in case something starts to make me itch. Enjoyed watching the video. Something my kids could watch too, so a 👍from me.
I like this kit! 😎👍 Having a medical back ground and two medical degrees. I carry two kits. One basic for myself and a slightly expanded one for assisting others.
It has come handy on hikes when I was in Northern Arizona hikes. 🚶♂️
Any kit is a good kit when you don't have one.
Nice kit, great channel, thanks for sharing.
Never thought about a mirror in a first aid kit before, but can see it could be very useful. Great video.
simple.effective, nice first aid kit brother
I got the same one...great company has many different products...thumbs up Mike
I just ordered one ... Great timing for video I was just scrolling online for a kit .
ing. They can deal with quite a high bit of moisture, and come in 3 sizes/shapes. They have finger bandages(which are shaped magnificently and secure down amazingly), knuckle bandages which again are shaped wonderfully, and large bandages, that I believe are like 2x3” for larger cuts. I work physical labor and find myself reinforcing normal plasters with some kind of tape to deal with lots of movement/sweating. They aren’t waterproof but are pretty damn close and can get through a couple showers wonderfully. I’ve applied and had them on for 1-3 days with minor curling and unsticking. Like any package of bandages/plasters the quality control isn’t perfect and 20% of them will not perform as advertised but overall they are great. I found them about 3 years ago and refuse to buy another type of Band Aid. These are a generic bandage sold by CVS, and do not know what the name brand is but the only difference being exterior packaging and the name-brand product being slightly more expensive.
Very informative, thank you.
I always keep a small bottle of eye wash. You can get them in little plastic bottles that would fit in that kit no worries. Thanks for the video.
I usually have a bulb syringe for this, and wound rinsing, in my kit. However, I wouldn't bother with "eye wash", i'd just fill it with water from my water bottle. All you need is flowing water to rinse away the debris from your eye or to clean a wound. I also usually keep a small bottle of 2% iodine in my ifak, doubles as an emergency water purifier as well.
Semper Fi
Conor Wild Adventures A small bottle of Iodine(don't use if you're allergic to shellfish), Peroxide or Rubbing alcohol would be a good asset to put in the kit as well.
Great bit of kit
Hi Mike worth mentioning always try and use/carry Alkaline batteries as they are less prone to leaks. Spare torches, radios etc can become useless if batteries leak.
Solid, practical advice.👍
Nice kit, only thing I noticed that I thought was a little odd/ I wouldn’t do is the flattening of the sterile bandaid cotton. In the original unopened packaging it is sterile, but once you take it out, even if you immediately put it in a baggie it isn’t sterile anymore. Not really an issue more often than not, just thought I would give my 2 cents.
Skin glue. Always in my kit and used it many times - last wild camp I used it on my finger after cutting deep with axe - sealed it right up. (Amazon yellow little bottle Philes )
You can also just use super glue in a pinch. Great for cuts on place that move a lot like hands
Really useful. Thanks
Didnt read all the comments but given the type of activities we do and the tools we use, I would recommend :
Vynyl gloves (quick access)
Compressive bandage (israeli bandage)
Tourniquet
Sutur strips
Some balm for burns
A Fresnel Lens (hardly weigh nothing and super useful to locate splints)
I would also swap the scissors and twizzers by a mini-SAK featuring those elements. Plus the mini-SAK scissors are powerful nail clippers.
Great video thanks. Curious do you have a video on your heavy bleed kit? If you don't would you consider doing one? Thanks in advance, ATB from your Canadian cousins
Great video!
Very nice thank you
Good to see someone else carrying Brulidine. Brilliant stuff.
Nice setup dude! Have you considered some more substantial medical scissors? Could be handy if you need to cutaway clothing. Also, consider putting your first aid kit in one single zip lock externally, so if you have to work on yourself, you only have one big bag to rip open, rather than several small ones if you’ve only got one hand spare and you’re in a lot of pain. In an emergency, every second counts.
In the U.S.A. we typically refer to a self adhesive bandage as a "Band-aid," I'm pretty sure that is due to the brand name for the product from Johnson & Johnson (a company that makes band-aids). "Bandage" would be, more or less, any type of Gauze dressing or non-adhesive "Bandaid"
Cool vid👍
Another banger
you should look in asda for there small green first aid kit only alittle bit bigger than the small bag you said you take with you ofc replace the items inside but its still easyer to take with you at all times
Hi mike great video lip balm is good to have in your kit it stops bleeding from small cuts and keeps dirt out until you get proper treatment... Just saying.
That website is pretty cool ngl. The surplus stuff is badass
Great video but i would recommend any other tape but what you have got from experience that tape (microporous tape ) only actual sticks to it's self the best by far is Zinc Oxide Tape that stuff could hold up a building
can't go wrong with gorilla tape. Another thing to add from when iv'e been is supper glue depending on what your doing it can make the the small cuts less of a issue :)
THis might sound odd to some and be the norm for others but i happen to keep a small maglight in my PFK. you never know when it will come in handy, alsi i have a 20ft hank of paracord for other emergency needs. something els i forgot is i also have a leatherman micra with my kit, already has scissors and tweezers built in.
Nice
Thank you for this very informative video! This is a kit that makes sense! No non-sense gazillion item end of the world bull!!!
nice video friend
Could you or anyone advise some good wild camping places? Or multiple day hikes?
Appreciated, thank you.
military first is great to buy from have bought a Bergen and 2 sleeping bags from them
Great video, and Military 1st is a great sight, does anyone know if they ship to Canada?
David O'Donovan thank you
I see this video has one dis-like, some folks just want to watch the world burn haha anywho, good job! Customizing for what you need is a good move. I can’t tell you how many people I know who spend time outdoors without any form of First aide training and take no First aide supplies with them, not smart.
On a side note, do you have a video breaking down other gear? I’m specifically interested in the kind of tarp you use, I need recommendations (from anyone) for one that would accommodate two people. Thanks!
Hi, if you are really worried about major blood loss have a look at hemostatic wound dressings. They are literally a lifesaver. If you are going out on your own it maybe worth the investment?
This is just his first aid kit man he has a trauma kit including hemostatic wound dressing a tourniquet and Israeli bandages
I would add a tick remover card, diarrhoea tablets, bites and stings cream, hay fever/allergy pills if necessary and lose the CPR mouth piece but everyone is different my 6 year old goes out with me so I try to cover more bases also some antiseptic creams also act as a pain numbing anaesthetic good for kids 👍
nice video. hopefully you dont need that kit... have a nice evening. grtz
Unconventional hack: I recommend keeping kinestesiology tape in your pack because it is stretchy, super sticky and pretty waterproof. Not only can you wrap and support and injury like a sprain with it but it makes a fantastic finger bandage cause of its adhesive and waterproof properties (lasts much longer than a regular bandage) and works 10x better than moleskin for hot spots and blisters. Since ive found it I will never go back. Its gold.
Do you have an affiliate code that gets you a kickback if I buy something from military1st?
Where do you get all those different size ziploc plastic bags?
Good advice. Quick tip - don't wrap yourself in "space blanket" if you and/or clothing are soaking wet.
What fire stricker do you use?
Please wear eye protection when splitting wood.
Nerd
in the states they're called Band-Aids. Thanks for this important video.
well, the non-brand name is "adhesive bandage."
Styptic powder. Hydrocortisone. Coban (one of the best items you can have for wound care and other things. Made by 3M). I'm suspicious of the wound cleaner wipes. Instead, use cotton make-up pads soaked with an antiseptic wound cleaner and store them in a ziploc bag. I've been a RN for 30 yrs. I've yet to see any pre-made first aid kit that I felt was decent. I make my own. My bag is only slightly larger than yours and is always the easiest item to access. Be current on your tetanus shot.
that america accent was awesome haha
Time to Change your Paracetamol :D
Thanx for your insights!
Does the TA stand for totally awesome just like the Totally Awesome Fishing Show? Cause that would be totally awesome XD
yes
Tube of Aloe Vera gel good inclusion for minor burns
And viagra
Is there a US based site that sells the Pentagon kit? Seems silly to pay shipping from Europe for a $20 item.
How do you never get poise Ivy
I was wondering how you got permission to practice bushcraft I am wanting to start but don't know how to find some land to use
Ps: I'm in the UK
Kyle Ellwood people don't get permission to learn bushcraft. It's a free world,as far as where I'm from and anyone can learn to do so with some knowledge,trial and error,and some people like myself have been into this since I was a little kid. I don't know what to tell you about the Land part of it unless you have any conservation areas or friends who own property.
Don't forget to change your antiseptic cream
My weird passion is to collect med kits
And help wounded people
Can I get a shotaut in next video, I subd to you ! YOU ARE AWESOME ! LOVE YOU ! I turned notifications for you !👏
The only two things missing out of this kit is something for wasp an bee stings and something for pulling out tics.
Peace
15:25 - HUEERHHH! A dead Hamster!
Hey, change your antiseptic cream!
Hang on buddy! I know you stopped breathing, but let me get my cootie shield before I save your life! 9:20
That sponsor's website looks great. Just need to check the spelling of 'Color' however.
\s
Love your videos. Keep it up!
Jason Kraus that's how colour is spelt in England. There are a handful of other words that America has just 'o' and England has 'ou'. Got to love the English language!
Color is the American spelling
David O'Donovan or 4 years old
🙄 why do we all take the time and effort to know the difference between American and British spelling yet Americans don't??
Taiwan _grrrl Not all Americans fit this stereotype. The ignorance of one does not define the rest of us.
Class of 2021 11:25 👍
Here in 2020 to remind you to buy more breuilne as yours has expired :D
It's funny that in UK you call em plasters and it's more similar to russian (it is pronounced " plas-tyr' " ) than in "american" where they call em bandages or band-aids 🤣
In the US we call plasters/bandages BandAids
Where's the Savlon!!???
GLOVES!!!!!!!
I'm Canadian and I call it a plaster.
