Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- The topic of first aid is a big one. In this video, we have Austin from Fieldcraft Survival joining us to share an introduction to wilderness first aid, and go over some of the most common injuries and accidents that can occur while hiking and camping. This video is packed with information that we all should know and practice, but as I say in the video, this is just an overview. We encourage you to pursue additional training on the topic of medical and first aid. See below for additional resources, recommended medical kits, the Fieldcraft Survival channel, and more...

Medical and first aid is an important topic. Did you like this video? Make sure to comment below with what you want to see next, and check the description box for more info on medkits and training opportunities!
I loved this video!
I hope this continues into a series. Great collaboration.
Two things I've come across hiking that's not an injury per se, but still requires serious attention are identifying individuals whose blood sugar has fallen dangerously low or individuals who have become dangerously dehydrated. Both can be pretty alarming and knowing the signs and how best to bring them back around is pretty important.
So glad you liked this collab! Austin will be back on the channel for another video soon. Dehydration and low blood sugar are absolutely great topics for future videos. Thanks for commenting!
Can you cover more basic blister/infection prevention ?
Retired car camper here from San Diego, California. Just started following and have learned buckets full of good stuff. Thank you But this here is so important... double thank you!
You're so welcome! I'm really glad you found this helpful!
Thank you for this info. I never even thought about packing a tourniquet or splint. Austin explains things well, and showing us how to use these tools is gold.
You're so welcome. I'm really glad it was helpful and informative. Austin is such a great teacher!
Thank you so much! Really glad you learned something!
Didn't think I'd run into Fieldcraft Survival here. They've got a great channel and classes. Good stuff.
Fieldcraft is awesome. Great instructors and training. I was so happy to have Austin on the channel!
As a 28 year veteran vol. firefighter and search and rescue, this is absolutely the best video ive seen. Has the right items without overdoing it and with the right amount of each. Excellent advice making sure environment is safe before going in and getting consent. Again excellent video.
A big takeaway for me was having this stuff on your so someone else can help you/others.
It’s an important aspect of your preparedness! It’s hard to have all the answers and know what to do for every situation but having the equipment allows someone else to step in and help if need be.
From the perspective of a retired physician, this is so important. Being ready for emergencies on the trail has saved my wife and I more than once.
As an aside, I have been wondering how you address cleaning up dishes, etc., after your wonderful meals. That has been a troublesome and time consuming pursuit to us in the past. It never seems to get easier. A video on this subject would be very helpful.
Thanks
Such an important topic! I was really excited to share this video. For washing dishes, I do get a lot of questions on this, so I'm planning to make a video about it soon. Thank you for watching and commenting!
A squirt bottle with 50/50 mix of vinegar & water will clean and disinfect dishes, surfaces, etc. For a better smelling alternative, Dr. Brauners soap is 100% natural, biodegradable & you can use it to wash dishes, yourself, the dog, whatever...
@@TonyHookedonVanlife ist Dr Braunners or Dr Bronners?
Your channel covers everything about camping.
Yooo I love field craft survival! Great colab 👍
I'm very glad to see first aid covered on a hiking channel! I believe EVERY adult should take a "Stop the Bleed" course. Not to take anything away from Austin, he did a great job. As far as tourniquets go, high and tight is a good rule of thumb, and typically how its trained. But it's not always the best option for the injured person. It's bad enough to have a leg amputated from the knee down. But from the thigh down, when it's not necessary would be a travesty IMO. Great video and I look forward to more on this topic 👍
I agree that everyone should take a Stop the Bleed course. It's such important information to know because accidents can happen anywhere. This info isn't just for campers and hikers. I'm really glad you liked the video. Austin will be back on the channel soon!
Glad you enjoyed it Rob! And you’re right on the money with TQ placement. However, for non medical professionals we teach high and tight just due to the fact most are not trained in assessing a wound to apply a TQ in a more advantageous position. Also, in recent years research and from my own experiences it has shown that placement high and tight on a leg doesn’t mean loss of that limb even up until days after the TQ is applied. Just thought you may find it interesting! Thanks for the support of Amanda’s Channel!
@@AustereCreative I definitely agree with the reasoning behind the training for high and tight. That is very interesting on the length of time after a TQ is placed before amputation is necessary. You both did a great job on this video and I appreciate you putting the information out. The more people that can self rescue or assist in rescuing someone the better! Well done to you both. I look forward to more videos on this topic! @amandaoutside
@@Blue-Collar-Radio well it’s much appreciated friend! Looking forward to doing more in the future!
I keep a boo boo kit and a med kit in my vehicle. I also keep a CAT tourniquet in a fieldcraft survival holster within easy reach of my drivers seat
Strangely enough I’ve been calling it a boo boo kit for years. Good to see Austin here on your channel. Thanks for sharing
Austin is such a great teacher. I was so happy to have him on the channel. He'll be back in another video soon! Thank you so much for commenting!
This was such an amazing video! For healthcare people and non-healthcare people alike, this information is so important for EVERYONE to know ☺️☺️
I totally agree! Thank you for watching!
Glad you found it helpful!
A very important topic. Especially now with so many rookies out on the trails. I always carry a small boo boo pack in my day pack with a large one in the car. 🤠
Great Video Amanda and Austin very informative, I will be adding a few more items to my FA kit when I go on my Hiking trips.
Awesome glad to hear it! Being better prepared will give you a lot more confidence in the backcountry!
EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT information! Thank you very much! You and Austin probably saved a life with today's information!
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed this and took something away and appreciate the positive feedback!
He can definitely school me any day😝 In all seriousness, thank you for sharing this crucial information, I found it very informative!
I was expecting Austin from Austin Texas :)
We once put a fire out on a stranger’s house because we had a fire extinguisher in our car. So yes, carry a good first aid kit with you, it can definitely save lives.
I loved this video, I had never actually thought about burns, tbh. Cuts, broken bones and diarrhea were always more obvious to me! 😄
Amanda, your content is really, really good, thank you!!
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
I really, really appreciate this video. Would love to see more about animal, plant, first-aid prep and safety.
Exceptional ,informative video!! Thank you both
Things you don't want to think about, but so important to know! Thank you 💖
Great video Amanda! Austin really explains it well! Thanks for bringing this too us!
Yea Austin is such a great teacher. I'm so grateful to have him on the channel. Glad you liked the video!
Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful!
The BEST video I've seen from you so far. This guy really knew his stuff, and this is so important to know, for any camper. I LOVED this video. Would love to see more on this topic. Thank you so much. High quality content!!
Really appreciate that Carrie! Means a lot and I’m happy that you learned something! Makes it all worth it!
Thank you Carrie! I'm so happy that you got value out of this video. Austin is so knowledgeable and he will be back on the channel soon. 😁
RN here... I learned a heck of a lot from this video and plan on bringing at least a tourniquet and wound dressing on future hikes. Thanks! I wish they taught us more EMT knowledge in school!
Awesome video. Thankyou
Glad I watched the video, thank you guys. Also I need to say, Nick your frequent hand gesturing distracted from your message
Excellent video…Thank you!
So interesting to know you can use that splint as other survival devices like a signal mirror or as a bowl to boil water
I know! I never even thought of doing that, but it's so smart.
@@amanda.outside I've used mine for a sit pad. just remember to return it to the pack when you move on.
Such good info. Thank you both!
This guy is awesome. Great instruction and confidence in his expertise.
Really Great. Thanks!
Great information!! Thanks
You're welcome Betty! Thanks for watching 😁
Very important information
you have been covering all of the bases lately, thanks so much 🥰
Yes this month I've really been focused on preparedness, medical, and safety! Austin will be back for another video soon!
A few years ago while hiking threw a forest I disrupted a wasp nest. I was instantly swarmed and stung multiple times. I didn't have a bad reaction but you never know. I carry benadryl now just in case. I'm curious to know more about bites and stings. thanks for such an informative video.
Love this! Thanks guys
one time my roommate got drunk and fell into the bonfire we were having in the backyard. That fire had been burning for a long ass time. I was sitting on a blanket shrooming and I looked over to see him standing on a log in the fire (big log, big fire) and I said "Larry is going to fall in the fire" then he fell in the fire.
I think this should be required viewing for any camper, hiker, hunter, fisher or bush crafter.
Great video. Thank you.
This helps me a lot. We’ve been camping a lot and this will give me help if an emergency happens. Thank you!!!
Absolutely! These are important things to be thinking about and preparing for. So glad it was helpful!
You are absolutely amazing. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? It would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
Remote First-Aid is required and re certified every-other year for those of us leading volunteer construction and sawyer crews into the back country. Having JUST re certified with American Red Cross, Austin's info was spot on. As a NPS volunteer sawyer, we NEED to treat wounds requiring a tourniquet and clotting powders these wounds require additional training beyond beginner first-aid. Perhaps the tourniquet info might have been too advanced for this venue... Austin NEEDS to mention CRP/AED usage, Hyper/Hypothermia and stroke recognition, too. So much more than just carrying a bag of stuff.
Very awesome video thanks so much. People need to be prepared because a lot of times out there you are going to have to rely on yourself. Help could be a long ways away.
Absolutely! Self reliance is so so important. Thank you so much for watching.
Great video Amanda. I appreciate your sharing this very informative video.All of us who venture into the back country should have already taken a first aid class. NO ONE wants to be injured in the back country and find out that there is no cell service and they are not properly trained in basic first aid. The very best to you Amanda. Please stay healthy out there. 🤗
Yes this is such important information for everyone to know! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video, very informative
Awesome video-full of useful information!
So glad you found it helpful! 😁
Another excellent, informative video, Amanda. I’ve mentioned before that I have spent a lot of time in the BWCA…I’m sure you don’t remember what with all the comments you get. We always camped on the American side because the campsites were developed. I’ll tell you what though, we never gave a thought to what we would do if one of us had a knife/axe accident. This video may save someone. Safety first! Good job Amanda…Jim!
Thanks Jim! That's why we wanted to make this video. It's so so important to be prepared for these types of accidents.
@@amanda.outside thanks for the acknowledgment, means a lot.
Old ER nurse here, great advice!!
Just found your channel and was pleased to find this video - as a physician and Scout Mom, this is such great information. Austin's point about the first person on scene being able to use your fancy first aid kit to help you is so spot on!
...Excellent video and topic .. Cannot have too much first aid skills ... the emphasis on training and regular practice is especially important ... Time invested to hope is never needed .. Be Prepared ..
I learned a lot! ❤
That was honestly more educational than I thought. I'm so used to people only talking about the major bleeding. With my kit, I think of injuries and then what to help it, all the way down to different stomach and headache problems. I don't have a tourniquet bc idk how to use it but I may get one anyway. I have eye drops, but I didn't know about flushing it or keeping a burn hydrated. Very good video! Thanks Amanda and Austin! And of course Nick for filming!
Great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it! I’d definitely suggest picking up a TQ!
@@AustereCreative absolutely!
I'm so glad you got some value out of this video! Thank you for watching. A tourniquet is something I always make sure I have now. I would look into taking a "Stop the Bleed" class in your local area. They are a great way to get some hands-on practice and training with the tourniquet. I recently took one myself and found it to be so valuable.
@@amanda.outside it's definitely on my list. Atm I'm working on getting an apartment. I had a mobile home but a tree kinda fell on it lol. Only the back at least, but I wasn't there.
This video was very educational, thank you , I will up grade my med case. It’s true someone else might need one of the items.
Wow, that was so informative and helpful! Thank you! Would love to see more videos along this line
Absolutely! Austin will be back on the channel soon. I'm really glad this video was helpful.
Great to hear! Thank you!
Love this Amanda and Austin, thanks for making this vid!
Excellent video, thanks both. A near miss with a barbed wire fence whilst composing a photo now means I carry a trauma bandage in my first aid kit, and would recommend everyone to! Thanks guys. Excellent advice and very clearly explained. 👍
new sub. great content from you, this channel, and contributors.. awesome to see Austin here from FCS
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you for watching! This is such an important topic so I was very excited to bring Austin to the channel and share this video!
@@amanda.outside definitely people need to know about it!
This was fantastic! Been a while since I did a first aid course and even a mental refresher is always great
Very informative. Thank you!!
I would really love to see tips for enjoying camping while it's raining. I know you don't have kids, but any tips pertaining to kids would also help. (Before kids we would hide in the tent & do fun adult married people things 😉) We do a lot of reserved campsites very far in advance, so weather can really be a crapshoot. We've got to figure out how to have a good time in the rain or we won't be able to camp much, which would really make me sad.
15:48 does the SAM splint as it is shown here really help immobilize the ankle? I would have thought you would want to curve it so that it can resist bending. E.g. I would have curved it to conform to the shape of the lower leg before applying the bandage.
i was always taught if you dont have a sharpie to write the time in blood
Absolutely, In the past I would but a “T” on the victims forehead with the blood. A tough thought but worth doing.
@@AustereCreative the T is correct according to my boyscout manual... had forgotten about that. the T stands for tourniquet afaik
my first aid training from the red cross no longer teaches tourniquets at least as far back as 2000 and considers them dangerous due to limb loss risk.
however its been a few years since ive have first aid training so they may have reintroduced them... again... its been a few yews since my last certification and even with it im far from the expert that the guy in this video is. im just commenting on what red cross said [which is to not use a tourniquet] and commenting on what my former boy scout training said [which is to use a tourniquet]
How many people have actually died in the outdoors (hiking), from not having access to a torniquet? All I see from the US in first-aid channels, is 'Torniquet' and Clot Gauze, but honestly, what are the actual statistics of deaths from bleeding out when hiking?
If you are using hatchets, axes, chainsaws and guns, then 'maybe', but there seems to be an excessive focus on a first aid injury that is very unlikely to occur.
I was like to see stretches on the trail. Where there is no flat area or places to elevate you leg etc.
As someone who's in the fire service guess what he forgot on his first solo camping trip last month?... Yep the first aid kit
Maybe you can do some more videos on dehydrating backpacking food?
Surely you should check for breathing before checking for bleeding.
Well based off the science and years of research from Emergency Medical Services they have come to the conclusion that Massive Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death in emergency medicine. Which is why we now follow the M.A.R.C.H protocol. Which stands for Massive Hemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, and Hypothermia & Head Injury.
Blokes got NPA's in his booboo kit, hate to see what he classifies as an emergency :)
What about head injuries?
Amanda, how come you aren't swatting at the bugs?
I did in between filming 😂
Hard time getting recipes
Link for the tourniquet and kits?
There is a link to the Fieldcraft Survival Website in the description. We sell TQs and a few different style kits!
