- Improvisation is something you should never plan to do. You do it when you run out of resources. Don't get caught underprepared and have to go straight to improvisation. Make sure you have the resources you need, and know how to use them, in a wilderness medical emergency.

On my search and rescue team, we have to carry a first aid kit. the only required items are a guaze bandage, 4x4 pad and some band aids. I carry a far more robust FAK. I got scolded one time by a seasoned SAR instructor for carrying a tourniquet. she carries pre-made finger splints (so do I) but not a tourniquet. if all ten of my fingers are broke it won't kill me (at least not directly) but you can bleed out super quickly. sorry that turned into a rant 😅
Everyone talks about survival very little about what to do wound care, broken bone, or shot hunting. Great to see this, straight forward to the point.
I read the largest problem and loss of life when the terrorists drove vehicles through the crowd in France a few years back…was uncontrolled bleeding and lack of tourniquets. They were improvising anything they could to use as tourniquets. Needless to say after that I bought 2 and keep them on hand. Great video! Just reinforces everything I learned.
If you can carry 2, carry 4
I built my own with my own family medical needs and typical environments in mind. That means also having a way to treat dehydration, heat exhaustion, allergies, etc..
On the medication side I would recommend:
- analgetics and antipyretics: ibuprofene, metamizole, paracetamol (all 3 have different interaction sites)
- antiallergic medication: antihistamines, cortisone preparations
- respiratory problems (asthma, COPD as e.g. spray): e.g. Ipratropium bromide (anticholinergic), fenoterol (beta2-agonist)
- antiseptic solutions: Octenidine dihydrochloride, polihexanide, chlorhexidine
- antibiotics: penicillin, erythromycin
- antidiarrhea: loperamide
- intoxication: activated carbon
- electrolytes: Mg++, Ca++, NaCl, KCl
- sugar: glucose
- drinking water desinfection: chlorine- and silverbased concoctions
etc.
I was an EMT for 24 years.... and I wish the trade schools would teach the MARCH protocol. I have a full kit in my vehicle trunk WITH Quik Clot.
i am not an EMT, but carry a trauma kit that fits in my pocket. Quick clot, compressed gauze, NPA, chest seals, TQ(2nd TQ in other pocket with nitrile gloves), safety pins, duct tape, compression bandage, and a SWAT TQ for a 3rd TQ or second compression bandage. Kit in car or backpack kit has same stuff, just more of each piece. Dont feel right if i dont have medical gear on my body, car can be too far away.
🇦🇺 for Australian viewers, please ensure that you include a pressure bandage in your ‘bush’ first aid kit. Correct application of a pressure bandage to a bite from an Australian snake, may save your life, whilst you are transported to hospital for treatment.
Thank you for all the information you provide. With a shooting situation it’s not just self first aid. Law Enforcement routinely apply first aid to the person they shot. It can make a big difference especially for a civilian in the court room when question by attorneys.
I am very fortunate my wife is a nurse. Experienced in emergency, wound care, rehab and more. We have an abundance in med kits. Hopefully we won’t have to use them.
I have been following your channel and always find the information you are putting out useful. Being from lake George NY and the Everglades and an avid woodsman, hiker and LEO, thank you for the info.
Phenomenal job once again Josh and I personally carry an Air Force JFAK w/me daily because I carry a firearm & have 12yrs. experience as a F.F.
I take my I FAK anytime I'm in the woods , huntinfg fishing or just hiking I also carry a Sam splint and extra wraps in it
Excellent information. I quit looking for the right one that has everything in it and started building my own.
I was just shopping for a restock last night. Ironic but perfect timing.
Nice. Comprehensive info. I have two kits. One for injuries and one for illnesses. Thanks for putting this up.
Green Beanie. Awesome breakdown. Damn good info. Hope you're doing Great.
Man I love your videos so detailed and easy to follow and understand thanks for passing along your skills and knowledge
Great info as always! Glad I follow this channel
Thank you for this video and information
Good video Joshua , thanks for sharing , God bless !
AGREE. Dark Angel Medical makes great kits. Vet makes kits.
I found out how difficult it is to find a good kit with everything you actually need! I found a decent IFAK but still had to add seveal items to it.
That’s the best way to do it. Find a solid, basic kit and customize it to your level of training and situation.
Fieldcraft Survival has solid kits if you can catch them in stock.
I was just about to buy a kit this morning and saw this video. If I could, I would get training from this fellow.
Bear Independent sells really good kits, and does training on their use.

Thanks ! 👍👍
Great info.
Adventure Medical is great. I would also plug “medical gear outfitters” as well (skinny medic UA-cam channel if you’ve seen his content) I’ve bought a few $K of gear from him. Always fair pricing and always authentic products
Excellent video. I love your comprehensive approach to the delivery of you content, Josh. Thank you. Can you tell me what backpack you have to the side in this video or do you have a specific review of it?
That pack is a Mystery Ranch RATS pack. Pricey but excellent
The Number 1 ingredient in a medkit gorillatape 😂
@TheGrayBeardedGreenBeret the above username 🤣😂 man y’all scammers are dumbasses
Are there courses (NOLS, Red Cross, etc) you recommend similar to yours that are agnostic OR generic enough to teach civilians the severity of MARCH triage?
I would check out an NAEMT TCCC course. Typically not cheap. Also, I would suggest you go for a course that is more medically focused over being tacticool. Plenty of well-meaning instructors that took a basic first aid course along with military experience that don't know what they are doing.
Good afternoon sir. I have a question I hope you'll be able to answer. I drive a garbage truck in a small city with lots of rural areas. The company provides a fak but it's mostly band-aids and alcohol wipes. Do you think the iFAK would be overkill and I should stick with what the company provides? I have my own kits for hiking and camping and have basic first aid training. Just not sure what to put into an urban kit. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Thank you for making civilization possible. Not going to tell you or anyone else what they should do but two of the most dangerous things we can encounter are motor vehicles and heavy, hydraulic equipment. You deal with both. I wouldn’t do your job without a tourniquet on me at all times.

Thanks, we will take a look and see what’s going on
