Without a doubt, one of the most intelligent and articulate discussions on the equipment needed for a very well stocked, designed and Rapid Deployment of just the right gear at the right time. Easy to comprehend, an excellent base model to use and tweak if need be. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
Thank you for your kind feedback Michael. I really hope that this video has given fellow adventures a starting point to create their own medical kits and to get training for intense situations before they find themselves in them.
Cheers,
Dave
Excellent content! The breakdown of each kit is spot on. I was a Combat Liesaver in the Army and I will tell you that this kit is defintely on point! Great Job Sir!!
Thankyou mate, I do appreciate your kind words. Hopefully this video is helping people.
Missing from all these kits is a small suction device (like the ones used for baby noses). You wouldn't believe how useful those can be for many uses.
I keep my liquids (saline) separate in a dry bag so if one of them breaks it doesn't destroy my whole kit as has happened twice. This is likely less of an issue in your kit as yours is in a hard case, mine was in a soft case and rolling around in a vehicle. It does mean you cannot immediately see them if you forget they are in there and are a little slower to access so there is pros and cons either way. You can put them in a clear waterproof hard case like a sandwich box too but the ones I have are just a little too long to fit.
Great kit, I highly recommend splitting up your kit like it is here it helps get to things way faster
Great way to organize first aid/trauma kits. Thanks for the information! I only really started thinking seriously about field first aid kits after getting a 2nd degree burn while camping and wasn’t prepared. I now keep an entire plastic “just in case” container with all my first aid/trauma/etc supplies along with 1-2 field guides.
Sorry for the delay in reply. At least you are prepared for next time! Hope it healed okay.
Great vid. Very informative. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate
Tourniquets are probably not in most First Aid Kits because they are expensive and they may be in short supply with the wars going on. I have several large First Aid Kits from Sam's Club and many more First Aid Kits of various sizes. I add other items to these kits. Quick Clot, tourniquets, Paramedic Scissors, etc are good to add. I stock up on TecNu for Poison Ivy. It is expensive but I swear by it. I also have additional bags of Medical Supplies to go with the First Aid Kits. Have a Blessed Day everyone.
Very nice mate 👍 We don't have poison ivy here is Australia, but definitely you should have environment specific gear in your kit if needed. Cheers!
Great work buddy and very well spoken, are you a teacher or something?
Thank you mate! 🤙
Not a teacher, but always a student, I like to be as well informed as possible and I guess from sharing things I have learned, my communication skill has increased as well 😀🤔
I'm a member of Overland Bound, and they have some fantastic resources on their website if you are interested 👊
Great organization my friend you have there i also Love the idea of your cards, where can i find it
Thanks mate. The quick reference and triage cards are from Tacmed Australia 👍
Antibiotics for pets are identical in composition to pharmaceutical equivalents and available for purchase. They are popular amongst the preparedness communities. I know they require knowledge to use, but I'm wondering what your opinion on carrying them is?
Please put it out on the market.
Happy to put one together for you if you are in Australia, but the cost would scare most people away i think. This kit was around $500 to assemble.
While the individual glove packs may be nice I can tell from personal experience that is going to take a lot of time to get out plus all your adrenaline in your body, good luck
Hey Jacob,
Yes agreed a glove dispenser would be ideal for sure, however keeping each pair as clean as possible was key when we are talking about an overlanding specific kit where we are dealing with mud, dirt, sand, water and potentially severe haemorrhages within close proximity to said kit.
You make a good point regarding adrenaline kicking in and your fine motor skills diminishing, but that's where training comes in and you start going through practiced OODA loops - that helps to negate that issue. I highly recommend that everyone who has any size kit, get at least first aid training and practice it with their friends/family, especially before a trip. No point having the gear and no idea how to use it or freezing up in the moment. 👍
Where are the individual pouches from?
Hi mate,
They were purchased on ebay, I believe the search was for 'ifak pouches'.
Why the swiss flag from m’y country ? The red cross is suficient
It's a very generally accepted symbol of medic/first aid in the west. Easier to see the red background with white cross than a red cross and white background. Just a coincidence I guess, unless your country are all medics? 🤷♂️👍
where's the case from
Local autoparts store called supercheap auto 🙂
