RX Medications for Disasters/Off-Grid/Travel 

Pretty sure doxycycline is one of the rare meds that becomes toxic after it expires, might be a good thing to mention.

As a pharmacist, i think this is honestly a good list, but i have to add that for any eye/ear drop, you want to get an eye drop formulation if possible. Eye drops are formulated to be very gentle so that it wont irritate the eye but will be effecitve enough to be used in the ear, but ear drops are not formulated to be gentle enough to be used in the eyes

As a pharmacist your videos about medications are always a must watch! The fact that these kits are customizable and have an actual physician consultation is great.

CA, NV, AZ, NM, and Mexico also have many case of Hantavirus 🖖

They need a company that make emergency dog medications.

This is an absolutely brilliant idea.

I got the Jase case not too long ago so I’m glad I found this video to further explain the medications and their uses. Very valuable content. Thank you 🙏

I like the fact that you open some of the dressings etc. You also go into some of the more advanced items.

Finally a comprehensive kit. So many others only do 4 or 5 drugs. This one can cover just about every base needed

Dude! You drop vids right as Im thinking about the subject. This and the IFAK vid were crazy relevant.

Being an organ transplant recipient myself, emergency medication supplies and a enacting some sort of maintenance plan in such a scenario has always been a pretty relevant top priority for me. Unfortunately this doesn't seem like any kind of solution that could work for me, but it's a good idea in the right direction nonetheless. It also reminds me that I need to replace and/or update a few items in a couple of my kits, meds included. Any kind of SHTF situation would be just that much more difficult and life threatening to someone like me due to the nature of my condition and the regular physiological checks that are required to maintain an effective medication dosage, and the daily doses of immunosuppressant drugs required to keep the body from attacking the grafted organ. Any extended period without medication would all but assure a slow and agonizing death, so maintaining a supply would be a constant effort/concern. I guess I can only hope and pray that things never devolve to such a point, but it is a thought that remains consistently tucked away in the back of my mind nonetheless.

Excellent information! I would also add that medications in “capsule” form break down (expire) faster than medication in a tablet form. I also recommend keeping a small log of medications you have, their acquired date and the expiration date for each. I know they will be on the bottles but this will serve as a quick reference guide.

I really appreciate this. Thank you. Tell your folks I says HI! From WI!

I wish we had this model up in Canada. Not only do we have a huge outdoors and rural population, but I’m also a pharmacist and having these types of things would be lifesaving in tactical, backcountry or disaster. Amazing content!

Y'all a huge inspiration and definitely an awesome resource for professionals in the emergency response field. Thanks for all the videos.

Thank you for doing a video on this item/company. It has been posted on social media more often the last few months. I was worried on what type of screening the prescriber was going to do. It is good to hear that they did a 30-60 minute eval and overview with you. It sounds like they are on their game. Doing an extended video on the various antibiotics would be extremally informative for people. So many people are unable to correctly evaluate bacterial vs viral and the proper course and the need for full course treatment. Great video and looking forward to more. Stay safe!

Great video and kit! Resistance to antibiotics is no joke. Estimates suggest resistant infections may top 10 million per year by 2050 worldwide 😬

Great video, I had a old book one time that had a pill list, for long hikes i lost book and that hard-to-get knowledge. hopefully more like this.

This video was a great overview.

This kit has a lot of redundancies. Dexamethasone and Prednisolone are pretty interchangeable. As far as antibiotics Co-Amixiclaе, Doxycycline are the ones you need. Azithromycin covers a lot of the same things as Doxy, but Doxy is better for the weird and wonderful bugs you will meet on an expedition. You also need something against intestinal parasites and protozoa like Albenazole and Metronidazole respectively. (Metro is good for infected penetrating wound in a combo with the Co-Amox). And the main problem of this kit is the stupid bottles, blister packs will make it fit a belt pouch.

This is huge, I have a couple of prepping friends Ill have to recomend this video. Incredibly insightful and hopefully useful.

Decadron is also amazing for Gout flares

That is an outstanding kit! There are a lot of people like Corpsmen, IDCs, Medics, Paramedics and so on that have a lot of training and knowledge to use these medications appropriate if needed. It was very difficult to obtain these types of RX. This really fills that gap. It's definitely a new Christmas list item.

I was a greenside "DOC". I remember having to sneak into clinics to "borrow" these meds just to treat Marines because we didnt get shit issued to us before we hit field ops outside CONUS. Great video.

LOL, love the dig at Frontier, laughed very hard

Im watching an ad. Cool. Feels good

Thanks for posting this. Huge

Thanks for this review. I have a kit from another company that is just antibiotics, but would be nice to have some of these other options. years ago my mother was prescribed an epi pen, when she realized that they expire and how much they cost she said she couldn't afford that. So her doctor told her that if she wasn't going to have an epi pen then if she got stung to take 4 benedryl and get to a hospital within 30 minutes. Knowing bee allergy runs in the family, we haven't added a beehive to our orchard though it's tempting.

Awesome presentation sir.

A hug here from Brazil your videos are very good

Hey Brother. Similar situation with my wife, due to hashimoto's disease. Many hours of research trying to find a way to manage it without medication for SHTF situations and increase independence. Dr. Eric Berg and Dr. Ken Berry have had great results with Keto/Carnivore diets. Might not be for everyone, but it’s been working for us for three years. Proven by lab work. Good luck “living a better life, if times get tough or even if they don't”

*very informative...worth a serous ponder and consideration*

Excellent topic. This is one of the areas where it can be difficult to be prepared if you don’t know a good doc who is willing to work with you.

When traveling abroad make sure you have the right documentation for the country you travel to

After reading the book 'one second after', I believe those meds will get you as far as helping who is left prepare gardens, wood stoves, smokehouses, etc. After that if you don't have books on herbal medicine and holistic treatments, you are not going to make it 6mo for serious ailments or two years with moderate ones.

I hope I'm not repeating what someone else already said, but Epi-Pen is used in pairs. If you have to use one, most likely will have to use the other, because, it will probably take more than one to help solve the situation, so even two may not suffice.

We sure will miss pain relief. Growing opium poppies might be an idea post collapse/shtf. Tradable too.

At the end of the day we need to think of early intervention of serious infection & prevention of critical issues.. Good kit to use with knowledge.

Amoxy-Clav (Amoxicillin) can also be used for infected diverticulitis instead of Cipro as clinical studies have shown that it is just as effective.

Will have to get one of them

Yeah im watching this now.. but what i usually carry is antibiotics.. Neosporin obviously, cold meds, wound treatment stuff like gauze and all.. nothing too big or too heavy.. but im liking what im hearing on this med kit.. will check it out.

Thank you.

Awesome brother.

I'm not a prepper or anything, I just ask my reg dr to order me the basics when I travel. He won't do any heavy pain meds, but this website doesn't either. Looking at the prices on that website...other then paying $$$ for a container..it's not worth it. When I price it out using just any "cash and carry" RX plan...a $450 kit...would cost be about $68 for the meds (I ended up getting a month supply for most items then smaller amount. So $375 for a case, a generic book, and "medical" support for questions... If needed, I just use the local pharmacy when overseas..

I've been saying to people, FOR YEARS, that a safe option for a disaster should exist. The fact that the quid pro quo is, we will give you the antibiotics, but you need to learn how to use them and the implications of doing so- and that its not an "all you can eat buffet."

When it comes to medically complex children, it is so scary as there is no long term “prepping” if things get very bad. My 9 year old is on baclofen for spasticity and dystonia. He also is on seizure meds for seizure disorder and migraines. He also suffers from cyclic vomiting that ALWAYS requires hospitalization for IV fluids and meds to break. You would never know by meeting him that he has any health issues. If there were to be a complete collapse, there is no amount of “prepping” that would save him or any other child that falls under this. It’s heartbreaking to think of being complete helpless watching any child go through the pain of withdrawal, starvation for tube fed children, etc and death. I am prepped for two weeks. Just hope for the best because more than you would think cannot prepare for the worst. Open to suggestions.

As a commercial fisherman in Alaska a good med kit on boat should have, sutures, syringes/lidocaine large badges, antibiotics, and pain pills.

I am thinking of starting a similar company. . . Nice review.

I have this kit. Its the basic kit. Being a paramedic and Navy Corpsman, I’m comfortable using it. I added my own meds from my primary care.

좋은 정보 감사합니다! Thx!

Your link to duration medical in the description isn't clickable for me so you know. Great video thanks

This is so good wow

that's the video I needed

Thank you for doing that I need one of them begs highly allergic to bees I got 2 heavy pants but most of the time you can never find them you're in the truck or they're in the bag Couple months yet but I'll definitely order one from you Nice job that was nice

Awesome channel bro!

Benadryl is also an excellent migraine headache pain reliever I ended up in the ER once with a migraine that woke me up from a sleep. That’s what they treated me with (albeit through injection) and I was right as rain.

I liked and subscribed

Keep in mind this is for emergency use I assume for camping etc? No good for any long term survival use but it is nice!

This is an older video so this comment may not get any traction but i hope it does because it is important to note that epi pens, including the low dose ones, can have a severe impact on cardiovascular health even when you use them correctly. You do need to seek follow up care after using an epi pen to both help prevent rebound reactions and also to help prevent any of the serious side effects

Would you recommend this kit to keep at home or in a bunker since you can keep them past the one year shelf life? And then just restock every year and keep the old ones

The amoxicillin that you have in that bag is not just plain amoxicillin it has clavulanate added into which makes it much stronger broad spectrum!

I was prescribed Narcan after my shoulder surgery but never used it. 2 weeks ago I had to use it on a friend. Just happened I subscribed to you and had the “helpful” mindset. You may not carry it for your own morals, but I am just glad my pharmacist was a combat medic and knows what’s what around my city. Just saying.

These medications are all dependent on a fairly regular exposure of cool, dry environment below approximately 25 centigrade to maintain their efficacy, or maximum effect or response. If they are kept in hot environments for extended periods, the efficacy will decrease long before the 12 months period. On the other hand, if you refrigerate them, as long as they are well sealed, and have a desiccant pouch in the container, they can remain effective for longer. I wouldn't mess around with Doxycycline though, and if it got hot for too long, I'd throw it away.

I carry a similar kit and find it useful in the US as well. I built out my own kit. However I did consult with several travel clinic professionals; many of which are overpriced and often provide questionable advise. CVS minute clinic provides really bad travel clinic services in my experience when compared to my local health departments travel services in Buncombe county in Asheville NC. My doctor has been hugely helpful preparing for long duration trips. And my doc is bilingual which helps with understanding my health records from Ecuador. I source most of my medications while in the Ecuador or Peru where prices are much lower.

Please consider reviewing Jase Case.

Check out military studies on meds and expirations.

Zofran is a damn life saver, literally, depending on circumstance. Saved my ass the last time I had a vomiting spell and my blood sugars kept dropping.

This isn't available over here, but it was very interesting to watch.

The point is thus: our reliance on eletric power to maintain temperature-sensible drugs, along the widespread of essential drugs to treat lethal conditions such as diabetes, posits a grim outcome.

That is cool... Add.. Narcan.

I'm sharing, really nice presentation . excellent kit. I didn't see is Narcan in there?? 👍👍 I'd add glucose tablets or gel.

carry benadryl for allergies with the epi-pen as well dramamine for vomiting so you don't dehydrate

It would be great if that booklet came in a “rain proof” non-tearing page (like write in rain pencil and paper) [sorry, can’t think right now of proper naming ]. Especially if and when out in back country hiking/camping.

I have my own pouch, but not as big as this; just enough for my asthma, ADHD, migraine, Diabetes, extra eyedrops and allergies.

What did the kit cost as you had it. Im mainly interested in the epipens

Mexico meds about 50 bucks per kit

Great video! I am going to look into this. I like the idea of on kit with everything I need. Could they also get Narcan in this kit?

Quick question. I'm a combat medic in the Guard and a local police officer. I want to pass off my knowledge to some of my guys and am debating what instructor certifications to get. I have Red Cross but I'm looking for something closer to TCCC and CLS.

Sam, did you run into any issues with flying and a hx of Pneumothorax?

Excellent video. Very informative. Im on the woods once a week here in south central Louisiana....Cajun country. I have a trauma kit and a medical kit that are military grade. Im ex military. I have medical training. I have had to see about myself twice in the woods. Both times was a knife wound. My survival knife. I would have bled out by the time a helicopter or med help would have gotten to me. Im so thankful that I had the equipment and the knowledge of using a med and trauma kit that is well equipped. Very self rewarding but I hope I dont have to use them again soon. :) Enjoyed the video. Rangers clear the way Charles

Only way to extend the expiration date of these meds (that can become dangerous due to oxidation breakdown of the molecules) is to expose and saturate the meds in argon gas and seal them up air tight.

Wish you'd include the chemical name alongside the trade name, for easier access outside of US.

You need to do a video with garand thumb on this

Big fan… What is the name of the medications company you use for SHTF? I think it's time I get one for each my family members.

This might be a dumb question but is this kit something you use on the job or for personal use?

This is a perfect example of why you should have in the least a two months supply of all the medications that you take on a daily basis. Most doctors will give you a month supply of your medicine if it's NOT a pain relief medicine but most will give you your blood pressure and other medications that you take.

what's your thoughts about ceftriaxone, I reckon that would be a very useful medication to carry into areas where you are isolated from further medical support

just found your channel and saw your video on deep wounds, you got a couple of nice videos here! Thing i always wondered about, does the patience never get in the way of treatment, and how do you realisticly deal with thatr? Like, if i start stuffing a shirt down their wound, force a bunch of pills down their mouth etc etc, while it might save they life and ill tell them that a total stranger will probaly resist quite voilantly in the moment no?

I wish there was stuff like this here in the UK, I cant seem to find anything matching this

Just a thought (probably out of your purview), since this is composed of prescribed medicines from a physician, is there a way for insurance companies to help foot the bill?

Good luck trying to bring medicine with you to ANY other country....

Yeah. Sad part is we are not even allowed to take care of ourselves in this society. Want to go backpacking and take an EpiPen. Can’t get one unless you get it prescribed by a doctor (or PA).

Do you have to pay for a whole new kit every year? Or do you pay per new script? Thank you

The cost is insanely high for what is offered. Way, way over the top expensive. Most of us have a medical bag. $800 for epinephrine!? With insurance a similar substitute is about $20 and without insurance $270. The service offered is a great idea but the implementation is at best extremely greedy and at worse a scam.

this is super important. many of us focus on the immediate treatment of wounds and conditions. Yet we forget that 99% of medical situations are not acute enough for a regular ifak.

Thought Zofran wasn't recommended for pregnancy? I think B6 and Unisom are better options

Awesome

🥶🥶🥶🥶🇨🇦 So, I live in Canada and spend a bunch of time outdoors below freezing. Is there any chance you could create a video on cold weather first aid kits, more specifically, things in a standard first aid kit that can't/shouldn't go below freezing.

For antibiotics, I keep prescription grade topical antibiotics on hand for cuts, punctures, etc since I’m a bit more prone to these types of injuries/infections for various reasons, as well as some ointments for psoriasis. If I travel overseas, my doc gives me some different oral antibiotics to get me by in the short term until I can get to a doctor. For the rest of it, I carry several OTC on me for allergies, bug bites, inflammation, pain, diarrhea, poison plant exposure, burns, minor cuts, etc.

Anywhere one can get bags like this for emergency meds. For personal Ie in prescription bottles. Not like my med kits that are kept for my tactical use.
