No Fuss, BLUF discussion on equipment, mindset, training, preparedness and any other topic of interest for the everyday person and experienced citizen to become an asset for their family and be a helpful member of their community in any type of disaster or civil unrest. I work to keep my videos short and not flashy so i can get to the point and get you the information you need. This is not just for end of the world or large scale disasters, but those things that come up in everyday life. The Devil is in the details and the smallest and most inconsequential things can have a big impact.
Great video on improvements that can make the tool more useful. Small pry bars like this have gotten me out of several jams. Most recently had to use mine to repair a punctured tire. Thanks for sharing!
I'm a retired Officer and worked part-time with our EMS as an EMT. I had an accident where I can't do many physical things. But I can direct others and do bandages. Great kit.
I put a rechargeable 16340 in it from a full charge. 7 mins straight and it works fine. I kept it in there and just using it whenever. It's not my go to light because it only works on high with the 16340. But it's definitely in my collection. By the way it's a sofirn brand 16340. 3.6v
That string would be hanging down all day for me. I would never wrap it back up. But maybe a small clip that I could reattach to the loop with a shorter string.
Hi I see most of these kits contain a pressure dressing as well as combat gauze , you only carry the gauze.... how do you hold the gauze in a potential wound ?. I do like the idea of reducing your trauma kit size where ever possible
This kit is very limited due to trying to keep it small. after the gauze is packed into the wound it would be pressure or other improvised method to pack the rest of the cavity. but this is also with the fact that i can be in a level one trauma center in 15 min or less. If i was going out into the middle of nowhere, i would add a combat dressing (among other things). This is a minimalist med kit i can carry day to day that i feel is better than having nothing on me.
i do normally keep my med with the red. And external green is normally warming layers or shelter. It is much more helpful with my GR2 which has more pockets.
Great idea! A few ideas to enhance (please check with your local rules, regulations & law first!): medicine for headache (e.g. ibuprofen), medicine for heartburn (antacids or H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors), medince for muscle cramps (magensium).
Nice kit - hopefiully you don't have to use it. Q: where do you plan to store it and how do you plan to access the content of the kit when tied with hands on you back? Have you tried it?
I have used it in training. i keep it tucked into the corner of my trunk. It isn't always easy to get the kit and it takes some time and maneuvering to get the contents out. It is possible that i might be unable to access the kit for multiple reasons, but i would rather have some options if i end up in my trunk.
