Overland Vehicle First Aid Kit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Let's take a look what I pack in my vehicle first aid kit. This is not an extensive and all encompassing, all inclusive med bag, but this is what I chose to have in mine, based on optimized flow for the compartmentalization of the bag, the sequence in which first aid is administered and the most common nature of injuries that could arise from off-roading, winching, camping or vehicle accident.
I don't understand how this UA-cam channel doesn't have more subscribers.....
Thank you!! Me neither!! Lol
Thanks for video Virgil
I’m retired law enforcement
You inspired me to go out to my Jeep and upgrade my Med Kit
Perfect! 🍻
@@NorthBoundExpeditions I ordered one of your patches recently can’t wait to get it gonna be a cool addition to the inside my JL
There is a small 2cycle chain saw with a 6ft handle. It’s design for deer hunters landscapers.they cost from $300. To $700. You can sit on the hood of your Jeep. And trim branches as someone drives you down down the two track.
Virgil. As I do my gear review and check my first aid kit I am reminded to include in the kit a copy of the prescription orders for my BP meds. I haven't heard you mention this before as an add to your first aid kit...but I keep these scripts and 3 days of my maint meds as a back up...just something you might want to mention when doing trip planning. Love your videos.
Great video. You never know what will happen to you out in the wild. My brother had to be carried out of the Sierra's after an accident. Stepped on a flat granite plate in a scree field. It broke under his weight. Edges sharper than razorblades as his foot and leg went through it. A good First Aid kit with bleeding packs saved him. No cell phone. Had to be carried out by pack horse.
Exactly. The things that end up happening are never the things one imagines would happen. Thanks for sharing.
Virgil, great video and thank you 🙏 for you’re service. You made me do some serious thinking brother. Looks like I’ll be making modifications and additions.
thats an awesome kit. the one issue I have is that I always tend to carry extra supplies. but I guess that could be a good thing. never know when I may need it. Maybe a smaller bag like yours would be better for me so I can downsize my supplies.
Another great video. I always learn new things watching your content. Keep up the good work. 🙂
Glad to hear it! Thanks!
I always have salt with me. When you are in the outdoors, who can resist a swim in a lake. If you catch a leech, a little salt on the leech and you are good to go back in the water
I have salt in my kitchen setup ;)
Excellent video. Far from civilization one must be able to respond to first aid. Thanks again Virgil for your work. The time you invest is appreciated. a pleasure of this crusader one day.
Merci
Thanks for the comprehensive lesson. The first thing that people should take notice of is the size of your pack vs a standard First Aid Kit which would be the RED. Kit that you pulled out..
I took Advanced First Aid class from a Swiss man that had been a medic in a lumber camp for many years. He administered and logged 3000 first aid calls. The thing that he made mention of was the size of the gauze packet in First Aid Kits was too small to stop major bleeding. You need much more material than is provided in those small packs. Larger material which you carry.
Thank you. Yes definitely, those “Walmart” kits are boo boo kits. That’s why I made my own trauma kit. I could definitely use even more gauze.
Great vid! I’m in the process of putting together my First Aid kit for my Jeep and got some good ideas from this video. One thing I am adding to mine is Solarcaine. Great for treating various burns and even small cuts!
Grate video 👏👏👏👊🏻
Stop the bleeding and start the breathing. the 2 main components of TCCC
I'm glad to hear what you are, you are on the ground,i was in helicopters,we eat a lot of the same dirt, God bless you, Eck usmc
Haha yeah dirt and diesel lol
Semper fi
Good video have to go through my small kit never given tweezers a thought till now and others you mentioned 👍👍👍
Right on! Glad you got something out of it!
Nice kit very close to mine... Just some suggestions.
1) When it comes to tourniquets 2 is 1 and 1 is none. I carry at least 4 ( if a cable snaps and takes a limb or 2. 1 TQ isn't going to be overly effective)
2) Standardise your trauma bandages and again 4 (I'd go with all OLAS"s.... Very multi purpose vs. the other 2 you have)
3) In addition to the Tylenol might be a good idea to add in some Gravol and low dose Aspirin.
4) Splints are great but I carry a bunch of triangular and elastic bandages to secure them as well. Tape is great but much better for the casualty if your sliding a broad bandage under a broken limb than fumbling with a roll of gun tape.
5) Lose the ACS (Asherman Chest Seal) proven ineffective, stick with the HALOs.
6) I see the OPA there, you need to be very careful using it and they are NOT 1 size fits all so....
7) Add some cold packs
8) The pen light is nice but I also have a headlamp in my kit for better illumination .
9) You said it Black gloves are great for LCF (Look Cool Factor) but not very good for blood sweeps especially in low light.
But again great video. Thanks
Thanks for the comment. Yes I agree of course this kit could be better. Starlight who is an actual Med Tech has her full kit with her with much more in it. This is more addressed at the layman that has basic first aid to hopefully inspire to add a few extra things rather than an off the shelf kit they never even open until they need to. Once I switch bags, I’ll redo this and definitely add a few more tourniquets and bandages, as well as some extra meds! Cheers!
Ok thans👍.
First Aid. A million Overlanding vids. Nobody has touched this.
On longer trips, I bring a nalgene with some distilled water. I also have a tic remover for us or the dog
That’s a good idea!
Nice
Amigo , cuando subes videos de exploraciones :)
There isn't a hell of a lot of explorations to do in the winter but there is a new video: FRESH SNOW!
great topic Virgil, do they still have shell dressings?
Thanks. They did when I first joined but I haven’t seen those around in a long time so they are probably discontinued.
@@NorthBoundExpeditions Guess I'm showing my age.
Gave up after minutes when he still hadn't started talking about the kit
I believe credentials are important when it comes to first aid, but I hear you. Thank you for your feedback. Will keep it in mind to get straight down to business next time.
