I liked this. Was able to source and add all but one of the items, the pouch, but found an alternative. It even helpped me to put together a boo boo kit for children of three different age groups. Excellent.
I have got to put something like this together Sean, thank you. My seven-year-old grandson is getting boo-boos all the time when we take our nature walks he's always getting a boo-boo
Thanks, Wiggle! You’re right, and if you’re going to build your own it’s definitely more cost effective to buy bulk and make several. Thanks for watching as always!!
Thanks for this. It’s exactly what I needed to know to get started on multiple kits. Your medical vids with your other vids give comprehensive info that we lay people need.
Kits like this save the day more than people think. So many times a case of heartburn or a headache has been put in check with a boo boo kit while at work.
Right!? I haven’t used a tourniquet in probably 3 years but I’ve used like 3 bandaids this week, lol. Seriously. Thanks for watching, Jon - I appreciate the support buddy.
Great little kit. I went out today and purchased some supplies from CVS. I found the small pill pouches as well. Your thought processes was very practical. Good job. The codura pouches are now $15.00 each. Maxpedition has a similar size pouch on their BOGO sale.
Thank you for this. You have put a lot of thought into this for sure. Smart, very smart. I'm gaining ideas for myself from this. Again, many thanks. Liked.
Awesome kit and I like the looks of the little bags to store it in too definitely a cool idea my boo boo kit is in a maxpedition micro similar stuff in it but definitely a cool way to downsize the contents without any sacrifice in function
Thanks, Jeremy! I use the Maxpedition Micro for my boo boo kit in my edc bag. That’s a great option and gives you more room. These micro boo boo kits are handy too though. Thanks for watching!
That's a perfect convenient kit that is especially helpful to the knife fanatics of the world :) I had received a new knife from a retailer that included a pocket bandaid kit which gave me a big grin; they were used fairly rapidly! Thanks for another outstanding video Sean!
Hey JJ! Always good to hear from you my friend! I always get a kick out of thsy when a knife comes with a bandaid! I love my fancy medical gear like tourniquets and all that trauma stuff, but like I just told someone else - I haven’t used a tourniquet in probably 3 years but I’ve used 3 bandaids this week! Lol. All the best!
@@GearedTowardGear1That is a smart and practical accessory to include with a (sharp) new knife. I can always count on myself for to cut a finger or two with a good factory sharpened pocket knife when replacing a lost pocket knife (that was undoubtedly too dull when it was lost).
Hi. An excelent idea and a video that should be shown to as many people as possible. Most people i know carry nothing, unless they have kids and then it is a backpack of gear they will hopefully never need. Every one should carry at least one of these small kits at all times. If you have a knife, sooner or later you will need a band aid. This is often neglected in edc vids. Good health and stay safe my friend.
Thanks so much, Rhino! Very kind words. I love my fancy trauma kits and the “exciting” medical gear, which I think one should have handy, but reality is I’ll likely never use thay stuff (hopefully). But this sort of stuff gets used weekly at a minimum, especially with an active 2 1/2 year old boy! Lol. Cheers my friend.
Thanks JB! Stuart commented and convinced me to give away one of the boo boo kits in my 1500 GAW, lol. How can I say no to that? And yeah the little coin purse pouches are super handy.
Great little kit, Sean! I'd add a compeed blister plaster and a non alcohol wound wipe (I carry chlorhexidine ones). Those coin purses look great, might have to try to get some of those! Thanks for sharing :)
Nice little kit. I have about the same set up but for my individual meds I use the container that the GUM Picks come in and they are just the right size to fit in the little bags back to back.
Your little first aid kits are similar to my pocket EDC first aid kits. Personally I have less medication based on my encounters and need for them. I also carry a 2x2 gauze swab because I'm sick scouts a lot. A lot of the kids will be bleeding and not notice for a bit (small cuts) or walk over to me without thinking to use pressure. So a lot of the time i don't even need a bandaid I just need to wipe off blood for hygiene sake/ seeing the actual wound. Also some younger kids really object to alcohol wipes so I'll use Benzalkonium chloride instead of alcohol or just for cleanup. I don't really keep sting relief but I do keep Benadryl and ibuprofen with loratadine making occasional guest appearances. I tend to lean towards ibuprofen over acetaminophen because of the ability to reduce a fever but in a boo boo kit they're pretty interchangeable (spare people with allergies.) I also like to carry gloves on me a lot but with boo boos often the person is conscious and i hardly need to touch them. Again my proximity to small kids at scouts means I may need to do things like wipe up a little blood because a kid is in hysterics. I try to carry a little CPR face shield too but obviously that's a step up from boo boos.
Yeah there’s a million ways you can go with a boo boo kit. I keep gauze pads and all sorts of other stuff in other kits, for me this is just to add to a trauma kit. I think Acetaminophen is a better fever reducer, and Ibuprofen is of course better for muskoskeletal pain as it is also an anti inflammatory which Tylenol is not. But as you said they both work for basic aches and pains in the short term. That’s the great thing about medical “kits” is that they come in literally every shape and size and can be customized which is the fun part! If I was going to carry a boo boo/first aid kit for outings with scouts it would look very different than this.
Nice kit. I put a similar one togehter last week with a smaller loksak bag from the edc truama kit. Cool idea to use the pill bags for the topical and pills, I'll be getting some of those for sure. I like the idea of using jewlery ziplock bags though, much cheaper and these don't really need the extra thickness for a glovebox kit.
That’s awesome Dave! The small LokSak would be great for a bit larger version of this. Great idea. You’re right, the cheaper bags would definitely be more economical. If I didn’t already have a 100 pack of the pill pouches lying around I probably would have bought the cheaper bags as well. Thanks for watching my friend!
Since I have a problem with my skin tearing, I carry a waterproof hard plastic cellphone case with several LAAARGE Bandaids and a few smaller sized bandaids. I carry so many because sometimes I have to modify the bandages to cover areas larger than one will cover. This condition was caused by some medication I used to take that weekened the skin (one tear took 40 staples to close and 6 weeks to heal). I go nowhere without this case. funny thing is I rarely get cuts from knives and The Dr. prescribed blood thinners to a knife collecter. lol
Wow, Bruce!! I have a family member with a very similar condition and she is often covered in bandaids unfortunately. That’s good though that you’re prepared with a kit that suits your specific needs. Very smart. Maybe that should be a question in the doctors forms before they prescribe blood thinners: “do you collect and often play with knives?” Lol. I’m the same way though, I rarely cut myself with knives.
That is very well thought out and very comprehensive for a boo boo kit. I would change out more Tylenol or Acetaminophen and have fewer Ibuprofen because I can't take Ibuprofen. Other than that I would probably go with that as is. Is there a substitute for the nausea medication that is not prescription medication? The red one is perfect for med kit. Is there any velcro on the containers that you could put a patch for what it is because red would be good for fire also. Great video.
Hey Rick! Thanks so much for watching. Unfortunately there isn’t a non prescription medication that I have found is GREAT for nausea. There is a medication called Dramamine-N that isn’t bad. It works ok for Nausea. It’s an updated version of the traditional Dramamine that has long been used for motion sickness. That’s probably the best over the counter option. The Bismuth tablets (aka Pepto Bismol) which are included in my kit do treat nausea, but it’s more of a broad spectrum medication that treats stomach ache, diarrhea, indigestion, heartburn, and nausea. It’s treats all of them ok, but none of them amazingly well. As for the pouch there is no Velcro option unfortunately. I guess you could sew on a patch or write on it with a sharpie. It is nice that they come in every color under the sun
Great kit and a fun project to build up a set of these! I am doing ten and figure at that scale if you need to buy pretty much everything it's about $50, or $5/kit (smaller quantities of the single-dose ointments contribute the most). Doing more than 20+ can significantly reduce the unit cost, maybe to $2.50 or so. That sound about right?
My frustration with any boo-boo kit is that I don't need 100 of the triple antibiotic ointment packs for my kit. Any suggestions on getting smaller numbers of these items?
@@gregorysmith3097 unfortunately not - most of the single use items like ointment packs are only sold in bulk. When I put these together I generally build 20-50 boo boo kits at a time.
including the coin purse, how much would you estimate it would take to build one of these? Is it possible to get a list from you? I'd love to start building my own. I'd even be willing to buy a few off of you (I'd pay the cost of the items, pay for shipping, your time, etc.)
Hey Cameron! If I had an extra one that wasn’t spoken for I’d totally give you one, but they’re all either in kits or given to family. I do have one that I added to the upcoming GAW though. It wouldn’t cost much at all to build one. All of the components are quite inexpensive. Some of it you may have lying around the house, the rest is easily purchased at any drug store or pharmacy, or online, even the little plastic baggies. The individually packaged ointments and medications will likely have to be purchased online through Amazon for example in bulk which does add to the cost. I may go ahead and buy some more bulk products and make like 50 or 100 of these things, might be a fun project. Here is the list of contents that I put in mine. You could of course adapt this to fit your needs: 1x Large bandaid 5x regular bandaid 1x steri strips 1x Splinter Out 1x Burn Gel 1x oral pain relief gel 1x anti-itch cream 2x antibiotic ointment 1x sting relief pad 2x alcohol wipes 1x bismuth tabs (stomach relief) 1x antacid tabs 2x anti-diarrheal tabs 8x ibuprofen tabs (200mg) 6x acetaminophen tabs (500mg) 4x Benadryl tabs (25mg)
Hey Shawn! I’m looking at carrying an edc trauma kit for like in the winter since I can carry all my stuff outside of my wallet, loking at something like the size of my wallet. Would you be able to make me one that I could buy from you or something?
Hey Shawn, Currently I don’t really use any medical things and I’m not trained very well but I do now masic medical stuff. I’m looking at making a booboo/trauma kit the size of a basic wallet. I was wondering if you would be able to make one for me or I could buy one from you so I know I’m using good material stuff? Thanks and great video!
Hey Tucker! I think we got it covered during our Instagram conversation but it you need anything else don’t hesitate to send me a message! Thanks buddy.
For things like Tylenol & Advil I often mix them. They have pretty sturdy coatings, I wouldn’t worry about it as long as they’re not stored in a way that they end up getting crushed.
It's a great video.. But don't say "boo boo kit"... It detracts from the value of what you are projecting. Call it as it is.. It's a small first aid kit.
I liked this. Was able to source and add all but one of the items, the pouch, but found an alternative. It even helpped me to put together a boo boo kit for children of three different age groups. Excellent.

Thanks for watching Joseph! That’s great that you’re going on nature walks with the grandson! Definitely would be a good thing to have.
Very well thought out! Thank you for taking the time.
I am going to steal your idea of repeating multiple kits. I would have never thought of that. Great idea. Very much what Ambos do.
Thanks, Wiggle! You’re right, and if you’re going to build your own it’s definitely more cost effective to buy bulk and make several. Thanks for watching as always!!
Thanks for this. It’s exactly what I needed to know to get started on multiple kits. Your medical vids with your other vids give comprehensive info that we lay people need.

Thanks man. Great video i love this kind of EDC/ Extended EDC stuff!!! Please do more of these kind of videos.
You got it man. I’ve got more of this type of stuff coming up soon!
Outstanding idea! Need to make up a couple considering my age and hobbies. Subscribing!
Nice little kit. Something like that is about all I would need in a hiking kit and for a bug out bag I'd have a larger version of it
Right on. Due to several requests I may be making like 100 of these and selling them for basically zero profit, just to cover shipping.
Be careful shipping medications. I'm sure there are some legalities around that
Nice little kit. I have about the same set up but for my individual meds I use the container that the GUM Picks come in and they are just the right size to fit in the little bags back to back.
