For me, I carry what's needed for me and my family. Basic first aid. Blood clot, tourniquet, etc. If I'm somewhere with it, something happened, and I'm glad to assist in an emergency or do what I can on my own. That's all a regular dude can do.
Good stuff JJ. I’ve been a paramedic/fireman for approaching 38 years now and I can say without reservation, I’ve yet to see a good “premade” kit. The stuff that’s available is usually full of garbage you don’t really need, and a lot of them these days have items that could do far more harm than good in untrained hands. Then there’s the price tag lol. I get a good laugh when I see what they’re asking for a box of bandaids and tourniquet. I’m sure you get what I mean. Having been a provider in both the military & civilian world, I’ve narrowed it down to what I truly need personally, and what I have available will at least stabilize most emergencies. What folks REALLY need is the proper training to support what they carry. Handing a decompression needle to someone with good intent but zero training/experience is truly horrifying.
JJ very professional video, Thanks! I’m a retired Firefighter/EMT , retired 9 years ago, so I’m qualified to hand you anything you need while working on a pt. 🤣Thanks for the info Brother!
What an outstanding video. Covers everything the common person will need. I have been in the first responder game for a few years and this is one of the best, most thought out videos I have seen on this subject. Now I need to go look at my med kit and see what I can improve. Thanks JJ.
Great video JJ. I wish I had typed comments as the video rolled haha. I have worked rule EMS for more than 25 years, and I have hiked my entire life. The only injury I have ever needed to fix was on my own arm. 4x4 and and coban for the win.
Right on brother! I appreciate you posting your experience and watching the video. It really helps when other First Responders chip in and help out 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Thank you, Mr. Morris! I liked this video the first time it came out, and I loved watching it again for a second time... these are important things and we all could use a better understanding of what to do in an emergency... we can't ''be you'' of course, just like you can't be a proper hospital, but we can always ''better'' ourselves a bit... Since ''that's your field'' why don't you start a series about it?... start simple, like things to do in Nature when it ''touches you'' snake and insect bites could be a good example... both ''natural'' and ''off the shelf'' treatments... and you can go from there...
We wanted to convert this from a “live” to a regular video so we could reference it in the playlist. Thanks for watching it! I’ve been thinking about creating a series just like you’re talking about. Been thinking about it for quite awhile actually. Thanks for the suggestion and for your continued support 👊🏻
Hello, my friend, I hope this note finds you well and happy This was truly an excellent video! Thanks for the effort, it really struck a chord with me! (as you know I am an absolute master of the Bandaid once I figure out how to get it out of the package)! (I especially like the Ninja Turtle ones)! Seriously I appreciate the guidance you put forth in this video. It helped me to establish a kit more realistically designed within the parameters of my training and abilities. Thanks again my friend, kindest regards and best wishes to you and all the FTF crew!
Can you Do a video about your watch and the components you incorporated into its assembly and what it can be used for. It is very interesting how you thought it out and may be a good platform for us that haven’t thought in that area yet. I have seen it in person but it was a brief view.
I've been out of the medical field for 2 years. I haven't done a needle decomp or cryc since I was in the Navy going on 9 years ago when I had an expanded scope as an HM. All I carry now is stuff for bleeding. I don't even carry an NPA. It's unfortunately all because of liability, but if I haven't done it in years, why would I risk someone's life and cause further issue?
I hear ya.. I suppose I’m in the biz and people rely on me to do this stuff. I try to stay up on stuff and pass on what I can. Totally hear you on being out of it- just glad to have my Good Samaritan rights back lol
A scene is never safe. It’s a changing scenario every second with a multitude of events. Been a medic 25+ years and have many stories on scenes I’ve been to .
JJ great video i watched when you tagged it for me before. What and where do you find that particular pouch or bag for your kit? Thanks for all you guys do!
A compound fracture can be a very tricky thing in the field.. I highly suggest you don’t try to set one without a surgeon for sure.. Not to mention the infection issues and internal bleeding aspect.. Real life is far different than the movies.. I could do a whole video on that subject alone
@@FueltheFires hello from Montana, I have some experience with human wounds, besides my own,white sheet's from sportsman's Warehouse,, people who are rh negative, should avoid baking soda for digestion issues,we need to be acidic,gut health is very critical in the wild under duress, stay hydrated, I began to learn simple first aid in the military,, it's not fancy but it has been there for me more than once 🐓🚬☕🗡️☠️
It is about damn time someone made a common sense video on a medical kit. With all the "You need to have this because I have!" crap, It is good to see that someone had the balls to say "If you don't know what you are doing, just have bandaids and call 911." If I was hurt and I saw this gorilla standing over me, I may pee on myself, but at least he knows what the hell he is doing and not just going to stand there with a "cool medical bag" with all the "cool stuff" hoping that someone will use his stuff. Good Job JJ
I heard about quick clot and how it can damage tissues (not Kleenex) at the edge of the wound. You'd be better off using pressure or packing bandages with gauze or a tourniquet. I don't need nor to I buy stuff I don't know how to use. Without training and skills they are useless at best or dangerous to the patient at worst. All you need is gloves, gauze roll, packing bandages, square or rectangular bandages, stretch bandage roll, peroxide, rubbing alcohol (don't put rubbing alcohol on a wound), bandaids, antibiotic ointment (preferably A&D Triple antibiotic), burn creme, surgical tape, Mylar blankets, ofc meds, tweezers, etc. The basics. You may realize that you already use many of them.
@SurvivalDispatch, Everybody nowadays thinks they're a trauma medic or are wannabes. As a former A-EMT NICS/Firefighter/Rescue Diver, who went through 4 years of initial training to become A-EMT NICS Certified, 3 years of Firefighter Training Level I, II, & III (now Classified as Rescue Technician I and II,) 19 months of NAUI Master Rescue Diver Certification Training, seeing all of these weekend medic classes is a joke. You CANNOT learn and retain everything necessary to be a trauma medic. People need to learn Basic First Aid, and ONLY after confidently knowing how to apply Basic First Aid techniques, should they the move on to Advanced First Aid Training. Basic and Adv. First Aid skills are what you'll use 85-90% of the time. And attempting to use "Paramedic" level skills w/o the proper training - again, cannot happen in a weekend - you could be held liable for injuring a person in need of medical attention. And for gawd sakes, do NOT carry advanced gear that YOU do not know how to use. It doesn't make you cool, it makes you an idiot! I've heard people say: *_"but I have the gear in case someone else needs it."_* A person trained to use advanced med. gear will have that gear with them, and it is HIGHLY irresponsible for anyone with advanced training to use another person's gear that: 1. They don't know that person. 2. They don't know that other person's gear or where it comes from, where it's been stored, how old it is, etc.. 3. That gear may be sub-standard, or crap. Internet egos are a dime a dozen, but they need to be checked, and people need to come back to reality.
For the record, JJ was a spec-ops level one SARTECH for many years. He’s one of only 106 SARS who’ve achieved that designation across all military and LE personnel since 1996. He’s at a very high level when it comes to this stuff.
Speaking of checking egos, you might want take that advice. If you are in need of some accolades, Im sure I can create some that might swuash your insecurities on some app …..
It'll show the little icon as if I am subscribed but every time I bring the channel back up and I go to your home Channel it doesn't it will not let me subscribe to your channel again Channel again

New stuff called liquid iv for electrolytes is fantastic
Got some on me right now.. My favorite is LMNT combined with Snake Juice
Liquid IV has been around for over 10 years (since 2012). It’s probably cleaner than Gatorade though.
I'm just getting started on the rescue squad. Do you have any suggestions for learning materials?
Anything put out by NREMT is a good start and any training you can get 👍🏻

Love the video…. Say “kit” again.
Kit! 😂
Chest seals ?
They prevent an expanding pneumothorax in the event of a chest wound 👍🏻
Yes they are in the kit if that was what you were asking.. I may have misunderstood
@@FueltheFires yes I was asking if you included them in your kit
Don't you take some adrenaline shooters?? in case of snake bite??
I do not.. Those are typically administered before the anti-venom
Is the scene safe? No. It never is that's why you called us.
You get it 👊🏻
