Side note: Anything you see in ths video has gone through TSA and entered the UK. However, TSA always has the final say. Lastly the 550 cord tourniquet: I would only use this as a tourniquet in a worse case scenario, if it was all I had. It’s not my first option. Please do your own research 😊
Wow you pack a lot in that little bag 😊 Alcohol pads are also great for nausea. I learned this on a flight where I randomly go motion sickness (which I never have before) another passenger gave me a couple and they worked wonders.
With my last labor I kept getting really nauseous and the midwife gave me alcohol wipes to smell and it totally worked! No more nausea. I had never heard of it before that.
I am a retired combat medic. Sorry but you can not use 550 cord as a tourniquet. It would cut into the skin before stopping the bleeding. You are better off using a T-shirt as a tourniquet, or better yet, carry a real CAT tourniquet. "Do no harm." Otherwise great video!
550 cord is definitely not the best option but in an emergency/worse case scenario if that was all I had I would wrap it around. I have a tourniquet but did not include it in my airplane edc bc I wasn’t sure if tsa would confiscate it. The tshirt idea or even a bandana would work well too. Thanks so much for watching and thank you so much for your service! 😊💕
I echo the sentiment of the OP. If you have a scarf, bandana, t-shirt or anything like that it is far better than 550 cord. You'll do more damage than good with 550 cord. Bandanas can fold or roll up pretty snall, and is worth having on hand.
I like the mini Burt's Bees but I think I'd switch to Vaseline Lip Therapy tube because that can double duty as wound protectant. I'm allergic/sensitive to all antibiotic wound goop except Bacitracin, but I almost always just use Vaseline. Then no need for antibiotic packets. Also I think I'd do a more calorie substantial bone broth packet like the Bare Bones ones, although I don't think they'd fit in this size kit. That is such a good idea, though. I travel a lot with my daughter who has Celiac and we've been in situations where she had no food on a long flight, or just a few snacks. Broth would be great for her.
I had no idea you could take a collapsible pair of.scissors. I need to add a few of these that I don’t already currently carry!! Bobby pin, scissors, flashlight, specifically. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who is this prepared.
Yeah per TSA “must be 4” from pivot point”. I got through TSA pre with scissors with no issue. Glad you’ll be adding more items to your edc. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
Great little kit, mine is very similar. I also carry imodium, a small hand mirror, a little collapsible fan (especially useful in the summer!), a very small phone stand (mostly for video calls with my family), two very small USB cables, one of the 'picks' used to open SIM card slots, ginger chews, and recently added some SHOUT wipes. I do carry foldable scissors as well, but I also have small x-acto knives and sometimes bring those along. Obviously not for flights. :)
Love that you have the fan in yours. I have a mirror in my bag and a phone stand on my phone (popsocket). You know what’s funny, I had to add Imodium for a family member on my latest trip so I will definitely have that in my edc always. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur it's a very lightweight foldable fan :) but when it's very hot and if I can fit one, I like to bring handheld electric fan. Never tried a popsocket but I've seen some very cute ones... And I think, especially for travel, imodium can be a true beacon of hope! I've helped many a friends and family members too :)
@@TheHandbagConnoisseur imodium prevents something that can quickly ruin any trip, or even outing, so it's great to have at home and in our bags :) I'll have to look into maybe finding a good popsocket to try out. I have some other kinds of items to stick to the back of my phone, but can never commit to using them 🤔
Girl you are so ready…I’ve never seen a cuter lip balm ever. LOL 💋 I think I got some ideas. I have a pouch that looks a lot like yours and I feel like a slacker seeing all the goodies you carry. I could use some everyday things like pain reliever, bandaids, some cough drops. 😊❤ Thank you for the nice video
This is so helpful!! Girl I’m making a list of everything you pack and I’m going to add everything I don’t already carry. I already carry a sewing kit and thank goodness I do because my husband ripped his tux pants 15 minutes before we needed to leave for a wedding and I was able to sew them right up! Always so worth having some emergency bits and bobs because you just never know!
Great EDC pack. The only thing I would change would be the regular pen for a telescopic ballpoint pen that could be included inside the bag. But otherwise, great video. Thanks.
@@slee7614 Because it would probably fit inside the bag, instead of hanging outside where it can potentially fall. More practical and safer. Will also take less space.
Great little kit, I would add in lotion, and maybe a bottle of hand sanitizer or a few more of the individual ones, as well as some disinfecting wipes to clean up the seat arm rests and the tray table. I always do that on a plane. Otherwise LOVE this kit.
so tiny yet everything is useful! i carry almost everything on your list on a daily basis but my containers are bigger, hencey my bag is big as well. this is a good idea! thanks!
I found some of those at Target around Christmas. I don’t know if it’s a year-round thing but they definitely had them then and they were so cute that I bought a set for all of the girls in my family, including myself. Lol.
TSA can still take them away, but they typically will allow scissors with short blades. I've taken many different kinds through since I always have a small sewing or knitting project with me
Yup! On their website it states it’s allowed and I’ve always gotten through with them. But as always TSA agents always have the final say. Thanks for watching! 😊
You do NOT want to try and use paracord as a tourniquet. 😢 DIY TQs are only for the movies. Loose meds in a baggie can be problematic flying international.
In an emergency situation you’ll use even a tshirt as a tourniquet. The 550 cord is definitely not the first choice but in an emergency situation it can help save a limb. But to each their own. I’ve always had loose meds and haven’t had an issue. Thanks for watching 😊
@@ice20x54guess I am lucky. But since you work there I’ll take your word for it. What should I bring instead? I would hate if the scissors get confiscated. Thanks for your input I appreciate it!
I carry a small “ In Case” bag but nothing as complete as yours. Great ideas ! I call the “ Safety Pin” a Hair Pin . 🧷 This is what I think of as a Safety Pin. ?
That almost looked like one a hotel would give you? You could make one at home. A couple 2/3 buttons, some thread and a few needles put it in a little pouch
Mine is from a hotel. However you can create one yourself or purchase premade ones. I’ll link one for you in the description box 😊 thanks so much for watching!
