NOTE: I mentioned baby aspirin but the aspirin I carry is actually regular strength (325mg). Baby aspirin is sometimes used as a preventative treatment for some people. I also highly recommend taking a first aid course.

@glenndorsey9068 3 года назад

This is a great idea!! I’ll add aspirin. Could save a life, maybe even mine.

@slkendall85 3 года назад

Cardiology/ICU pharmacist opinion: if you think you need to carry ASA for heart attacks (the dose for that is 162-325 mg CHEWED for faster drug levels, given in the ambulance by EMS on the way to the cath lab) then I’d also add nitroglycerin tabs or spray. The vial is pretty small and they are available OTC in Canada technically, although carried behind the counter. But realistically if someone has a significant heart attack in the woods there is really no possibility that they will get medical attention fast enough for a dose of ASA to make much of a difference. You need to get to a cath lab within minutes to 1-2 hours. Heart muscle starts dying within minutes of compromised oxygen supply. If you have risk factors for having a heart attack like uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure or obesity, it’s probably a better idea to check with your doctor before putting yourself in a situation that could lead to permanent disability or death.

@JustinOutdoors 3 года назад

@@slkendall85 I'll look into that, thanks! SAR response can be as fast as 30min where I am, but then it's probably another 60+min to get into the heli and into a hospital.

@glenndorsey9068 3 года назад

@@slkendall85 so if you were backpacking in the woods and came across someone who was apparently having a heart attack, you would not wish that you had an aspirin to give him or her??

@slkendall85 3 года назад

@@glenndorsey9068 Unless they have access to EMS transport to a center with a cath lab, ASA is unlikely to change their outcome. They will either have a near/completed infarct or die. EMS will have ASA, so if that transport is urgently available they would have access to ASA anyway, as well as diagnostics to check that it is appropriate to give.

When I took Wilderness First Aid, the instructor recommended not packing a commercial irrigation syringe. His advice was to pack a small ziplock. If you need to irrigate a wound, fill it with water, and use a safety pin or needle (which you should have in the kit anyway), to poke a hole in a corner. It works just as well, and takes up way less space. Steri-strip, or butterfly bandage is a must. Another hiker fell and broke his glasses. The frame snapped at the bridge and made a small cut between his eyes that bled like crazy. Nothing else would have worked to patch him up for the two mile hike back to his car. Fortunately, he had spare glasses in the car to drive home. If you carry a Sawyer filter, a spare O ring is a great addition to the repair kit.

@barbarad.517 3 года назад

I bring a bottle of saline nose spray and it can be used to irrigate a wound or an eye and they are $1.00 at Dollar Tree.

@DennisMathias 2 года назад

A good syringe is very handy. Esp in case of 'bug in ear canal' situation. There you need a little pressure and a syringe can do that. Even for the eye it can give a directed stream of water.

@ek8652 Год назад

Instead of carrying a syringe in your kit just carry a bottle cap with a small hole. It works great and takes up much less space. Just screw it on your water bottle (like a smart water bottle) and just flush your eye or irrigate a wound.

I rolled an ankle on a steep hike, about 2 miles from the trailhead on my way down the mountain. My ankle didn't roll inward like it had in the past; it rolled outward, causing me to instantly collapse right on top of it, making it worse. At least I got all my swearing done for the year that day. Now I consider my trekking poles a first aid device.

@craftyandra 3 года назад

I have to say I really appreciate this. Most RU-vid backpacking channels really downplay the need for a proper first aid kit. But for the amount of times I have reached for mine it is totally worth the small weight.

@JustinOutdoors 3 года назад

I was a little hesitant to put it out because people have pretty strong opinions on first aid kits and the comment sections can get a little wild, but I rather get people thinking about what is in their first aid kit and how to be safe on trail.

Thanks Justin, some great ideas here. I get blisters right under my toes, just on the balls of my feet, and leukotape got pushed off my foot and ended up all bunched up under my toes, and I have lueko adhesive stuck in my socks to this day. It's good stuff, but maybe better on the heels/ankles or top of the foot. Compeed blister plasters, however, saved the day and didn't move at all, and also provided cushioning. I will never walk without Compeed again!

@GetUpTheMountains 2 года назад

I also bring Leuktotape. I precut various sizes and attach them to waxed paper. Not the kind you use for food, but the kind that return shipping labels come with from FedEx, UPS etc. I carry plenty to cover big ol' heel blisters, or little side of the toe blisters. That stuff is awesome.

@davefoong5847 3 года назад

Great video. I personally vary my kit according to what I’m doing. I bring a splint, Israeli bandages, and a tourniquet if I’m out scrambling or in exposed areas. Also pet bandage wrap is an awesome substitute for athletic tape. It’s lightweight, can wrap sprains and wounds, and is reusable. I double up Leukotape for fixit + blisters (I wrap a bunch around my hiking pole).

Definitely important to vary it depending on use! Hopefully the video gets people thinking though

@philsmith2444 2 года назад

Great video, I love how organized your kit is and will be buying some of those small ziploc bags for mine LOL. That ferro rod is awesome, I will definitely buy one for my little SAK. My kit is a lot heavier but I also have a lot more stuff in it. A tube of Orajel (numbs wounds as well as gums), a small bottle of benzoin tincture to make any kind of tape stick much better, gauze rolls and pads (2” & 3”), 2-3 feet of StrengthTape (I like it better than Leukotape because it stretches 2X lengthwise and is smoother than Leukotape), small EMT shears, Q-tips, a travel toothbrush & toothpaste, Mountain Soap (low/no suds), alcohol wipes…If I need to irrigate a wound my Katadyn BeFree bottle & filter has an impressive flow rate and filters biologicals down to 0.1 micron (smaller than a coronavirus.) I do need to carry pain relievers & anti-inflammatories, though.

@Psychedelic-giraffe 2 года назад

One of the best 1st aid kits I've seen! I see a lot of people whose 1st aid kit is 2 plasters and 3 ibuprofen. Some things I would consider adding: vet wrap- basically a streachy, waterproof, reusable bandage that sticks to itself. Invisible plaster/invisible band-aid (essentially skin-safe glue) is great for wounds in awkward areas or hands because you can get it wet and it won't come off like traditional bandage. A syringe with normal size tip can be used to suction out tiny splinters (the ones that you can't get with tweezers)

Also, there IS a bit of confirmation bias as well. By far there are more English speaking RU-vidrs in the US than in Canada... and I suspect that most of the ones that are IN to reviewing FAKs are into survival and bush craft more than backpacking. The weather has MUCH greater chance of killing you than a gun in most places in Canada. (That's true in the USA as well... but it's less of a sexy thing to talk about getting killed by hyperthermia in a rainstorm or getting lost) In fact, exposure kills way more people than wildlife for that matter.

Yes, I recently had surgery and the doctor advised me not to take ibuprofen, because it can increase the risk of bleeding. Incidentally he also recommended that I didn’t take vitamin C before or after surgery as this can also increase bleeding.

However, not all asthmatics are sensitive...if they are sensitive to aspirin then they’re often also sensitive to ibuprofen, and vice versa.

@christopherpike7163 2 года назад

Good kit. But Ibuprofen, aspirin and NSAID slow down the clotting process and can stay in your system for days: on the trail that means it will be harder to stop any bleeding. Ibuprofen is good as an anti-inflammatory and for muscle pain, but I would also carry maximum strength Tylenol which doesn't slow down the clotting process and is great for pain, although not as good for muscle pain. Aspirin is not recommended anymore for laypersons attending to cardiovascular emergencies. Get rid of it, it can make the emergency worse depending on patient and medical history. Great call on the non-alcoholic, antibacterial wipe which has been made widely available as an alternative to alcohol wipes during the pandemic because of shortages, and actually turn out to be much safer for small wounds and better.

Be careful when completing such set - it quickly escalates into EDC bag, then a backpack, then a bug-out bag and soon you’re carrying 30kg’s 😅

Caffeine pills are the best! I put these in all my first aid kits. They're great for travel too.

I'm a former Registered EMT - I and cross qualified as a military medic. I have a complete trauma kit, along with all the mentioned OTCs, (a week's worth X2) including famotidine, ASA/Caff/Acet, Hydrocortisone, Betadine, Lidocaine topical, and the Australian EMS snakebite protocol gear. My two largest pouches on my South African combat vest are dedicated to medical. I don't "mix" gear... I keep my Fire, Water, Medical, Etc... in separate pouches. And the Ibuprofen isn't going to completely mask any non visible injury, pain, symptoms - even at 800mg BID. My kit is primarily for MY party/myself. Nothing more than standard first aid/BLS to anyone else. Definitely nothing to taken internally. I have as much faith in the provisions of the Good Samaritan Act as I have in those in DC !

Ibuprofen is fine as it will actually help treat the inflammation which is causing the discomfort. Tylenol/Acetaminophen/Paracetamol is what your thinking of where it's telling your brain you're not hurting when you actually are. Also, no safety pins or mini tube of superglue?!?

wouldn’t it be better to use a see-through bag?

Dang! I feel like I’ve been hit with a tsunami of information! :)

You need some hydrocortisone cream, antibiotic cream, & burn cream packets.

I cannot stress enough, buy the non-stick woven pads. Regular woven pads will heal into a wound quickly, causing a lot of pain and damage when properly addressing the wound.

Size of pouch ?

@Ryan-me3vs Год назад

I carry both a basic first aid kit and a tramma kit

Literally just threw together my kit for our 8 day trip coming up … I’ll add tweezers! Thanks

One sterile pad is totally insufficient. Replacement pads are essential to protect damaged areas. I prefer the non-sticking to wound variety.

I carry a little different drug bag. 🤣

Benadryl can stop diarrhea too. Anticholinergics have constipation as a side effect for this reason.

The first aid kit items that I’ve actually used this year (2022) alone while camping or mountain biking have been bandaids, alcohol wipes, antibiotic ointment, Benadryl, tweezers, mirror, burn cream, bite ointment, electrolytes, anti-diarrheal, Tylenol, floss, medical tape, Vaseline, pen light, and calamine lotion. I keep a super small kit on my mountain bike, a medium sized one in my backpack, and a tackle box sized one in my house/car/tent.
