    As an ex-military medic instructor I can appreciate the external suture method. Rather brilliant.

    • @markblocker4565
      @markblocker4565 2 роки тому +7

      Yep. Less likely to introduce more foreign material into the wound. And we know Andrew always has his trusty cravat to put over that wound too.

      Brilliant indeed! I would like to have more of these emergency medical techniques as learned skills in place especially nowadays because of the uncertainty of things...not knowing when or even if an emergency medical team will be available...shortages of staff both in hospital and paramedics means we are the first responder so best to get these skills for ourselves and our loved ones...we need more of these videos...excellent job Andrew!

      @@mnight207 The Gray Bearded Green Beret, who had extensive medical training, taught a different version of the external suture method. Worth looking at. I was in the Air Force and had several jobs in the medical field- Med/Surgical Ward 4 years, Emergency Department 8 years, Flight Surgeon's for 4 years which led to my training for a Medical Aircrew job aboard the C-9A Nightingale for 8 years. Accrued 3,000 flying hours performing missions all over the planet, was trained in surgical methods by the Chief Surgeon at Bergstrom AFB and participated in hundreds of operations. After retirement I went back to college to get an advanced degree which enabled me to teach advanced surgical procedures, pathophysiology and cardiology at the collegiate level mostly to nurses and medical personnel getting them certified to work in Emergency Departments. I did that for 12 years. I'm retired now.

    I watch alot of bushcraft channels, this channel is by far my favorite. I dont know exactly what it is but Andrew seems to be able to teach his crafts in a way that makes it all "too easy" I have actually tried alot of his techniques and they do work. I have seen so many of his videos that every time I try one and am successful I always say "too easy" when I get done. thanks for this channel Andrew I have learned alot and I do put it into action

      Mors Kochanski's channel "Karamat Wilderness Ways" is also top notch, but unfortunately Mors died in 2019, so the only new content is from his students. There's still a lot videos by Mors though and his students are legends as well.

    2. External sutures... haven't seen that one before
    Good job n thanks

  • @terryqueen3233

    I'm proud to say that I did learn something today and that was the suture method you showed and how to extract fuel from hand sanitizer that I did not know and I'm proud to know it now. Thank you so much for the video I hope other people learn the methods that you showed as I believe we're going to need all of this in the near future. Thanks again for the video. Keep ye powder dry

  • @NewHampshireJack
    @NewHampshireJack 2 роки тому +5

    I married a nurse, and we have suture kits in stock. That said, the improvised tape suture is the bomb! We appreciate that one! We also use parts from our gasifier twig stove to mix & match with spirit burners, solid fuel cubes, and gel alcohol.

    • @markblocker4565
      @markblocker4565 2 роки тому +1

      Yes and you don't see as much of that on other bushcraft/survival channels. I think the belt saw is safer than an axe, as well as being lighter and lower profile, so I understand his preference for it. Not as fast to deploy, but with the cravat it can be used immediately to construct the bucksaw frame if needed.

    4:24 could lead to the improvised suture for lacerations. We all do it, especially with minds preoccupied with land nav and mutant enemy trying to kill us, I remind myself to always cut away from a body part. Always.

    Your video appeared in my feed today. It’s been 46 years since I operated. I so wish we’d have received some of this training in the 70’s. For most of us, it was being dropped off and picked up a few days later. “Good luck out there.” Other than ambush, concealment, observation, evasion and reporting were important but nothin g much else beside that.

Have you ever thought of using a waterproof match safe with crushed match heads in there too help boost a spark when using a fresno/magnifying glas?

    I have to say the alcohol trick and the sutures were novel, also. I have seen a variation of the Gorilla tape suture where two strips of tape slightly longer than the laceration were used by folding over the edges closest to the wound which were then sutured together with needle and thread. It would be a bad day if you ran out of duct tape. Guys, don't go breaking your BCGs. Go to Wally World and buy a cheap pair of reading glasses. Nothing worse than a guy who can't see to hit what he is aiming at. Good tips all, Major. Thank you. The compass and line info was interesting as well.
