“Incase I’m being hunted down by assassins, or men of low character” bugout life…. Man this is one of the best well rounded bugout bags I’ve seen on TH-cam. It seems like everyone else thinks the same thing.
For nostalgia, i'm watching again. The good old days of Zombie Apocalypse Prepping
Good video thanks
+Meatwaggon Way to go, dude! You seem to be a very intelligent young man ( I'm guessing young, since you sound young and I didn't see your face. I'm guessing 25-28. You sound well educated, smart, mature, and I can tell you put a lot of thought into the bag and video ). As far as I'm concerned, I have yet to see a ruck touted as a 72 hour ruck that would actually pack enough stuff to cover all your bases for that long, especially in a societal collapse, so I use big surplus, military rucks ( if they carry a ton of stuff, they'll carry a bit of stuff, and everything in between ). Right now, I'm using a U.S. G.I. MOLLE 2 large combat ruck, since I just got it a few months ago, so I figured I'd give my old faithful ILBE with it's assault pack a rest, loaded this up, attached some MOLLE pouches to it ( I especially like the big sustainment pouches that come with it and mount 1 to each side. Even bought another 2 pack for the ILBE. 500 cubic inches each, so that makes the MOLLE 2 a 5000 cubic inch ruck. 1 will hold my German surplus Gore-Tex parka and pants [rain gear], surplus poncho, and ruck cover with room to spare ), added a 200 round SAW gunner pouch directly under those ( they hold a lot of gear, and I have one with 6 extra 30 round AKM 30 round mags ), a pair of canteen and general purpose utility pouches, and a pair of Tasmanian Tiger TT-7 pouches with a TT-6 MOLLEd onto the fronts, and an Eagle Industries hydration bladder carrier with a Camel Back Crux 3 liter bladder, plus some 1 liter metal bottles that I can boil water in, cook in, way more versatile than canteens. I like your setup and I do a lot the same and, as with anyone, some things differently. Since I moved to a really isolated place way up in the Great Smokies in NC about 6 or 7 years ago ( originally from South-Eastern VA ), my load is quite a bit more combat oriented since, if it gets so bad that I have to bug out from a place in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by woods, it's probably societal collapse or something. Plus, I'm a gun freak with a lot of guns, mags, ammo, tac gear, etc........ , and my weapon choices are quite a bit different. In addition to my ruck, I have one of my military pistol belts set up for my main pistol, a Glock 21, full size 13+1 .45ACP in a Phenix Gear Tornado thigh holster with attached additional mag pouch, several double mag pouches for the Glock 21, all loaded with 230 grain Federal Hydra Shok JHP ammo, a U.S.M.C. KA-BAR, a mag dump pouch, AK bayonet, and Kershaw Camp 10 ( 10" bladed short machete type weapon and tool. Good for combat, processing wood, clearing dense brush [which comes in handy when you're surrounded by woods] ). For my rifle, I have a pair of AKMs ( 7.62x39mm. A Chinese MAK-90 and Romanian Romak. Both are good and have been running very good since I bought them in the early 90s ), so I'd grab one of those, my Russian ANA Vest Alpha chest rig, which is designed and built around the AK. It has 4 built in double mag pouches on the front, a field of MOLLE in front of those ( to which I've attached a double compartment mag pouch that carries 6 30 rounders for the AK, plus a magazine coupler that clips another 30 round onto the one in the rifle. That's a lot of ammo [I use mostly Red Army Standard], with the extra 6 in one of those 200 round SAW gunner pouches on my ruck, that's 22 30 round mags of AK/7.62x39mm ( but with the 14 on my chest rig, and 2 in and on the rifle, plus I use the lid pocket, which is the entire lid of a big, 5000 cubic in ruck to store Mylar bags I mage and label with a kitchen/food vacuum sealer with enough rounds to reload 10 AK mags [300 rounds of additional AK] and to reload 6 13 round Glock 21 .45ACP mags, which is 78 rounds of additional .45], that limits a good amount of what kit/survival I'd like to bring, so I save weight by using my favorite AK mags, 30 round Bulgarian steel lined polymer with metal locking lugs, so it's significantly lighter than all steel mags ) and a pair of large utility pouches ( 1on each side, with several rows of 5 MOLLE loops each row on the fronts ). In the right side pouch, I have a large meds pouch that, in addition to my RXd meds for chronic pain and panic disorder [Roxicodone, 15mg tablets and Xanax, 2mg tablets] I have a supply of meds that would get me arrested, but you do what you have to do. I have an MFAK set up as a full trauma kit MOLLEd onto the front of that utility pouch. The other utility pouch holds some various gear that I want to have right there when I need it, like a Gerber multi tool, a small, bright LED flashlight, a Princeton Tech Byte LED head lamp, a couple of my many bandanas, pair of Mechanix gloves, a compass, some chem lights, a pair of safety glasses ( if you have to haul ass into the woods at night, a stick in the eye can mean your ass ). Basically, that pouch is like a junk drawer with a canteen pouch MOLLEd onto the front. I got some good ideas from your video, as well as noticing some similarities, such as : I also pack one of those hand chainsaws, I also pack stuff in compression sacks, as well as Crown Royal bags, dry bags, MOLLE pouches, and kit bags, since the larger military rucks generally have little in the way of organization, I thought I was the only prepper that remembers to pack a scrubby pad for my mess kit ( a U.S military kind, since it packs light and flat ). The large field radio pouch, which attaches to the back inside "wall" of the ruck with a set of D rings holds most of the food I pack : some field stripped MREs ( not nearly as good and less food than the ones in the 90s ), a few bags of Mountain house entrees, Cliff Bars, some apple cinnamon flavored "survival food bars", 2400 calories each in 6 400 calorie portions, and some pouches of Spam, tuna fish, and chicken, stuff like that. I also came up with a recipe for a survival food that's good and covers all of your food groups. Into a large, resealable, heavy aluminum bag ( like those big bags of peppermint bark you get around Christmas, and each bag will carry several pounds of it ) you put a couple or more 1 lb jars of peanut butter ( I like Skippy Roasted Honey Nut ), some honey, granola, mixed roasted nuts, mixed dried fruit, instant hot cocoa powder, instant powdered milk, instant oatmeal packs of all kinds of flavors, and whatever else you fancy. Nutritious, calorie dense, tastes good, filling, covers all of your food groups, and in the winter, if it freezes, you can dig at it with your bayonet/combat knife/whatever, and break you off a couple mouthfuls and you can keep on the move if you're on foot and you need to cover ground. If you Ranger fold your extra clothing, it takes up much less space in your ruck. You can probably find videos of how to do it on the internet. I pack 2 extra sets of camo BDUs and ACUs, plus the military recommended 3 extra sets of sofies ( your socks, boxers, and T shirts ), plus, you're going to be dressed for the weather and it can really save you space in your ruck, especially if you have to pack extra cold weather gear, long underwear, and so on ( I then put my additional, Ranger folded clothing into dry bags or large, heavy duty Ziploc freezer bags ). Those 5 gallon Swiss military solar showers ( if it's warm weather, you just hang them on a branch in the sun and, in an hour or two, you have 5 gallons of bath water temperature shower, it has a nozzle for your shower, rolls up, weighs next to nothing, and takes little space in your ruck. I also carry one of those Pocket Pal knife sharpeners and a round sharpening stone that has a side to set the edge and another to hone it razor sharp, as well as some honing oil. It keeps your knives, camp hatchet, etc... razor sharp.I also carry a large, well stocked hygiene kit and a "shit kit" which packs dry toilet paper, as well as baby wipes ( to keep you from getting "monkey butt" in the field ), several packs of those Ready Bath towels like they give you in the hospital, and have you seen those TP tablets? I thought they were a joke until a friend of mine back in VA gave me a couple tubes of them ( water proof plastic with a gasket and 12 tablets per bottle that look like big, thick Alka Seltzer tablets. If you get them a bit damp and carefully spread them open, you have a nice, soft yet durable sheet that's damp and about the size of a paper towel. You also gave me some ideas, like the monocular ( I currently carry a small pair of HUMVEE 10x25 power binoculars, and now I'm thinking about the monocular. How much magnification does it give you?). I have always used those folding Esbit stoves for cooking, boiling water, etc..., and thought those little gas cylinder stoves were unnecessary junk, but seeing yours has me wanting to try one. I like your idea about bringing olive oil to cook with is a good idea. Those Velcro ties would have a million uses, the bottle of "not a bag"looks useful, plus some more stuff. All in all man, that was a great video, held my interest and inspired me to write this novel, sorry about the long post man ;) .
The Orion monocular is 10x42. IMO it was too big and bulky and I have since switched to a smaller Roxant Viper which is 10x25 (it's more like an 8-9x in reality), water resistant, rubberized/impact resistant, 3 oz weight. It is a step down in quality but TBH magnification is not a huge a priority for me; in this particular department I prefer low weight and compactness above quality. However, if I could find something as compact as the Viper but higher quality I would definitely go for it; still looking for that. As for the TP tablets, I have since started using those instead of the rolls since about a couple years ago because they are very compact and give more paper for the volume. My one concern about your weapons loadout is ammunition. The .45ACP and 7.62x39 are both larger rounds compared to the 9mm and 5.56x45; you could carry significantly more of the latter than the former. IMO I am even debating between .22LR and 5.56 given the larger ammunition capacity. My current plan though is to have my wife carry a Glock19 and AR-7 or Ruger 10-22 takedown, and myself a Glock 19 and my Colt 6920. That is, in case of SHTF and we absolutely have to leave our home for whatever reason for the long term. I of course prefer to bug in under almost any circumstance. I'm 46 years young BTW ;-)
Thinking that you're probably beyond busy at this point, when we get past this Covid nightmare hopefully we get to see your updated gear.
You'll get to see my updated gear before this covid nightmare is over, actually. I've almost finished revamping my gear again (for the third time), and it has expanded into several different kits: a long-duration (~3 months) "INCH" bag, 2 medium-duration (~3 weeks) BOB/GHB for his and hers, a short-duration (~3 days) GHB, and an urban medium-duration BOB/GHB. Most of the elements are finished, it's just that I keep updating them with the latest gear that comes along. I'll start making a series of videos some time in the Spring.
I think the bear would become a bear size snack for me!
Nice bag, you've done your research and have money to spend. I'd suggest shedding gear, drop weight and fit it into a 50lt pack, get less tactical item, black and conceal carry your defense. You probably look like a badass when geared out, but me th heads won't hesitate to try and take your assets when they see it so cleanly advertised on your person. Your gear will last longer if no one knows you have it.
Actually this setup is several years old and as of the beginning of this year I completed revamped the loadout. The G19 is now concealed inside a Hill People Gear chest pouch, many items are now lightweight or ultralight weight versions and more compact, reducing overall weight by several pounds. I don't agree with the whole "grayman" philosophy, though. If we are talking about circumstances where people are willing to rob you or straight up kill you to get your stuff, they will do so regardless of whether you look "tacticool" or not. Actually IMO if you look like you can actually defend yourself their desperation/motivation to rob/kill you will face a much higher threshold to act on their desires. They may well decide that the risk is not worth the reward if they can see that you are armed.
I watched the whole thing! I liked it. Great video. Please be careful of using language, like Retarded. I almost turned it off. Thank you for the information. Good luck, my friend!

I’m not all the way through the video granted, but so far the only real things you have for procuring meat is the ar7 and paracord. A spool of wire, some fishing implements, and possibly some sort of pre made traps or a gill net may serve you very well. Granted you can bushcraft many of these things up, but in a long term scenario you want to start procuring food as quickly as possible
If you're going to make a comment like that, you really should watch the whole video beforehand. 1:15:40
Maybe a primitive weapon like a sas survival bow or slingshot for hunting and getting food so u dont waste ur ammo and keep that for self defence on human targets
pretty good vid..... better than most
I have the Ruger takedown although it's a lot heavier than the Henry survival rifle. It's way heavier Henry is much better choice for carrying in back pack. Id take Ruger for vehicle or range etc. Though
Ass cheek or lit flare in it's mouth lol😂🖒
your information on teh medical kit, especially about antibiotics was very informative. Can I ask where you obtained this knowledge? Do you have any kidn of medical profession or expertease? Thanks!
I am an internal medicine physician.
@@Meatwaggoncan you proof that? PS that was not meant as critisism or doubting your claims, but there are so many nutjobs on YT claiming to be all inds of things, calling themselves the most prestigeous nonsense... that's why...
By breaching my anonymity? No thanks. Also, why do I even need to prove anything to you??? The things I say can easily be verified as true or not true, especially since you have the internet at your fingertips and can look up every last thing that I have said. I have given you ALOT of medical information in this video, so either I've taken the time to spout a large volume of total nonsense, or I am who I say I am. Take it or leave it.
@@Meatwaggondid not mean any offense; I just find may time sthat peopel make claims that are inaccurate. Tak ethe issue of preppers saying oen could buy fish-antibiotics and use them for humans. It is very controversial and both sides on the spectrum swear they know things best. Makes people take risks with their health and causes sometiems life-threatening situations. SO that is why I asked. I hope you udnerstand and not take this as personal nor critisism cuz it wasn't!!!
Fish antibiotics are the same as the ones used for humans. That is not the actual problem. The problem isn't that they are "fish" antibiotics, the problem is that they are antibiotics. Even as an internal medicine physician (hospitalist), I frequently do NOT know the best antibiotic for a given infection in a given circumstance, so I have to consult an Infectious Disease subspecialist to get a recommendation. Even if I do know the best antibiotic, I may not know the optimal dosage or duration of treatment for that particular individual with that particular infection in that particular location. Again, I would have to consult an ID physician. So if even I sometimes don't know these things, what chance do the rest of you have? Many people think all "antibiotics" are the same and they'll just take some if they feel like they're infected and then magically they will get better. First, how do you even know that you have an infection? Second, how do you know it's a bacterial infection? If it's a fungal or viral infection, antibiotics won't do squat. Third, how do you know your particular bacterial infection (assuming it is one) can be treated with the antibiotic you have in your hands? Fourth, how do you know if your antibiotic is going to have a negative interaction with your other medications? Antibiotics are a double-edged sword. They can harm or even kill you if you take them wrong, which is why they are prescription-only. Even if you take them correctly they could harm or kill you. This is why I do not routinely recommend that people carry "antibiotics" in their bugout bags, because in the wrong hands they could be doing more harm than good. People who uselessly discuss "human" antibiotics vs "fish" antibiotics are COMPLETELY missing the point. For the record, all the fish antibiotics I've come across with names I'm familiar with, are the same as the ones humans take, and usually also in the same dosages. There's nothing "controversial" about it at all. Also for the record, don't squirrel away antibiotics of any kind unless you absolutely know what you're doing with them.

Why the GPS dude do you want to be tracked it's not a bug out bag it's a come save me bag you need to rethink your point of you bag is it to be rescued or to get away long term or short a 72 hr disaster bag is going to be very different from a bug out bag 72 hr is going to be food and water based but neither is going to have a GPS device now if your putting together a I got lost or got hurt bag when your out in the backwoods then yea a GPS device is ok if your hiking trails hunting deep or riding out in nowhere and the ar15 can very easily by put in a small bag there's 2 pins to break her down and you need to rethink your choice of guns a 22 is cheap and you can carry a lot but for self defense it's not going to work and in California it's self defense you need to think about Alot of unpredictable people around and when there hunger kicks in your 22 will be useless 9mm is a good choice for sidearm i go biger but its cheap ammo and you can carry a lot ar15 best bet can be used for hunting med to small game and self defense but like I said are you trying to survive or be rescued are you trying to get to point a to point b or long trem
Yes I agree..food! take lots of food in a disaster as well as your first round of water. Very good and well thought out kit. New sub ! Cheers : )
FYI for mess kits. Aluminum is toxic and should not be used in cookware. Use stainless or titanium.
Uhh, what??? You clearly don't cook a lot, man. LOL Aluminum as used in cookware is most definitely NOT toxic, and it is ubiquitous in cookware; in fact aluminum cookware is several times more common than stainless steel cookware and orders of magnitude more common than titanium cookware. The world of cooking literally runs on aluminum products. It would certainly not be the case if aluminum were somehow toxic (as it is most commonly used in cooking). Water is toxic in sufficient quantities, as is aluminum, but aluminum cookware is about as non-toxic as cookware gets. Please disabuse yourself of the mistaken notion that aluminum cookware is somehow toxic, because it simply is not.
LOL, OK whatever you say. But yes aluminum has definitively been linked to Alzheimer and a PEL has been established. Look I have cooked a lot of meals on aluminum cookware too. And I have since moved everything including my camping cookware to cast iron and stainless. But hell it is your health do want you wish.

Your bag seems well thought out but I disagree about the tourniquet ; in a situation where you are defending others from some kind of assault, if you're wounded, a tourniquet may keep you alive long enough to get the job done. I say this as a husband and father.
SO then what? When to remove it? How to treat the injury? In shtf? At best just saw the limb off. Sepsis. Go in with training and fix it. A tourniquet is a bridge to modern medicine and overvalued in the community
So so nice bro thanks so much for your help
Man otzie the Ice man has some competition now.
I get the P100 mask. The one thing you said about not needing a gas mask is because it would be a unlikely situation. Bugging out is the unlikely situation but that's what we prepare for. Nuclear attack and chemical spill or attack are among the top reasons other than a grid down or government take over. I'd say that % of unlikely situations just raised for needing a gas mask.
That bag reminds me a lot of my Kelty Falcon 4000. Very well thought out bag. Only difference is my bugout kit also includes a small steel wagon to pull behind me to carry bag plus other odds and ends (ammo, extra water, food, etc). I'll be making a video fairly soon showing everything. Nice video!
I have a few questions and suggestions: Why open carry? Why not on a vest under a jacket or a chest holster (there is a serpa version of it)? Why the knife on your weak hand side? Have you ever walked with all that stuff (holsters+ammo) in/on your pants+backpack. Same applies when wet. I recomend braces. Why not pack the stuff in lines (line system known all over the NATO as far as i know but slightly modified)? You have it in a way (a part of it with your extra pack on the backpack) but not completely. A real map. Emergency phone + numbers/frequencies. Notebook (paper). swiss army knife on your person. tourniquet accessible. You can`t say how far away from help you are. Money (split up and partly hidden). lock picks and autojiggelers. drinking tube aluminium can be dangerous for your helth Wet wipes are better than normal toilet paper when you are outside. Sea emergency rations are for sitting and waiting to be rescued. Don`t put things with much sugar in your pack either. Has to do with the way energy is absorbed and converted by your body. Since you seem to be from the medical field: What is antiseptic soap (i read about it in some survival manuals). Do you know why celox/quicklot has a expiry date? Is it because it stops to work or is it because it stops to be sterile over time / it is medical stuff?
A Ruger 10-22 breakdown doesn't float...
Just happened upon your video... Suggestion... Loose the AR-7 Henry rifle... go with a Ruger 10-22 take down...
I did an online search to estimate how many calories I should expect to burn during a bug out. The closest approximation would be backpacking. This would be about 600 calories per hour. So for a 10 hour trek you could expect to burn about 6,000 calories. I have to wonder how far people will get if they think they can survive for a long time on 600 calories per day.
You have to understand that weight loss is the only immediate consequence of inadequate calorie intake. What food intake is for in the short term is to provide you a short burst of energy and to stave off hunger pangs with the objective of you getting to whatever destination is in your bugout plans. If you are expending 6,000 Calories per day (and this would be a large human male doing very heavy exercise/work in the course of a day) and only inputting 1,200 Calories per day, it's not automatically going to be some kind of death sentence. You are just going to end up expending some of your fat reserves to make up the difference. And let's be honest, the majority of Americans in this day and age could stand to lose some excess baggage.
You made a good point about not using a tourniquet when no medical attention available. However if you are engaged in combat you could use tourniquet to stay in the fight longer.
Are you in the medical field? I’m impressed if you’re not.
Yes I am. Been working as a hospitalist for 12 years now.
Meatwaggon awesome. I’ve been an RN for 23 years. I also work at a hospital in Vancouver Washington. Love your video.
Love the video. Great info bro! Long ass video. Took me a couple days but I got through to the end! IMO it’s the best bug out video that I’ve seen.
*8:37* *_Two is one and one is none._* *Clearly one can’t pack two of everything, and it’s probably the case one can’t pack redundency with different capabilities of everything. The term is really about people - not things. Human’s don’t just do one thing like a flashlight or battery or knife. We are infinitely capable of many things, including multi-tasking.* *Two is one represents completeness and synergistic capabilities, while one is none represents a hindered resource.*
This is an awesome video bud
your eye open to the same things get good swiming eye wear look at all the tv moive guys use them not there for looks
one hell of a well rounded loadout bro. of course lots of people will talk trash on you for it as they always do but not me. if you can carry it then awesome. that is oe hell of an awesome setup. I just couldn't believe the amount of gear that thing holds. I really liked your knowledge on your medical kit as well. awesome video bro.
I was about to give you a thumb down until I saw your iron maiden shirt. great video
the anti bacterial portion sounds like a comercial lol. excellent vid.

ikr i was humping my bag and my wife asked what i was doing, i told her a video told me to
Hey Meatwaggon, You may like to check out the channel of Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D. An outstanding human being,
Good advice, everyone should carry their bag on a regular basis to be sure about it. I have carried up to 64 pound in mine for several miles comfortably.
just one comment on a very well done bag. .... suggest sub-sonic ammo for your 22LR. it's very quiet, even for a 22as a request, could you do a side-by-side of your EDC, 72 hour, and your extended bag?
This is coming up shortly actually. I have all three already done (they've been done for 4-5 months TBH), just waiting for me to video them.
Hi, thanks for the vid. One question though: Why do you mention, that you did count (the rounds) correctly and that you live in California? I live in Switzerland so I don't know nothing about your firearm laws. Thanks.
California has legislated away the US Constitution, Second Amendment right of Californians to own fire arms and defend themselves
Magazines in California are limited to a maximum of 10 rounds.
@@Meatwaggon And you can't walk into a gun store ( such as they are in The People's Republic of California ) and buy "assault rifles"/"black rifles"/*insert liberal media scare word here*. If I lived in CA, I would go to a near state, buy a couple of AKs, M1As ( civilian M14s ), FN FALs, H&K G3s, and more, all kinds of various main battle rifles ( the correct, military terminology for such rifles ), a bunch of high capacity mags for each of your rifles and pistols, cases of ammo, and put them on the stash. If you have friends in those states, lots of surplus catalogs will ship there and you can buy all of those products and more, and you can have them shipped to your buddies and pick them up. If societal collapse/SHTF happens, you can get your tac vest/plate carrier, weapons, high capacity mags, tons of powerful rounds, and various gear in your stash ( I would build/make a secret area for stash if need be ) because, whose gonna have time to fuck with you as you bug out? If you live in the city, I would have a bugout location ( with even more stuff already there ( you can even bury stuff in mortar tubes ( they're waterproof ) and large military aluminum transport chests ( you can get them waterproof and even padded and mine/metal detectors won't detect them as they are aluminum [no ferrous content]. Just be sure and keep the locations written somewhere [ i.e. 30 feet to right of cabin, 5-6 feet under the big rock] ). That large stockpile of meds, weapons, mags, rounds, and more stuff can be added to the large amount of stuff I have and bring. That's what I'd do. Luckily, I live in the South and can have as much as I want of whatever I want ( they let us "rednecks" have everything. We can even have class III weapons). I lived in the city, more than 300 miles from where I now live, but this was always gonna be my bugout spot, as the house is way up in the mountains, surrounded by woods in a very rural and isolated area on a large tract of private land with 1 road in [the private "road" we live on is actually a dirt and gravel trail. Even if you're familiar with the area, the road and house are hard to find]. It would be so easy to fortify the house and have tons of vehicle and personell devices around the property and road, so I'd be way more likely to fortify and bunker in, with a couple/several rucks loaded up as B.O.B.s, along with tac vests/plate carriers, lots of meds ( especially my favorites :) ) and trauma kit just in case. You're going to have to loot and learn how to hunt, track, prepare game, farm ( both food and medicinal herbs. I grow opium poppies to augment my prescribed roxy and xanny [ I generally collect the seeds in the dried seed pods for next season and make pod tea and Laudnum. It's a pain to collect enough opium from the live pods to have a usable amount of smokable opium, but I harvest some, of which I smoke some and use the bulk of it to make Laudnum, basically a big opium ball disolved in Everclear or at least 100 proof and better white liquor, tho I suppose 100 proof and better brown liquor would probably be fine]. The greatest part is used to make pod tea, as the morphine, thebaine, etc....... soaks into the seed pods. You collect the seeds in the dried, brown/tan pods and grind them into "opium flour/opium straw" in a food processor/blender, add water and steep. There are tons of recipes for making opium pod tea ( it's key to use warm, but not boiling water. You don't want the water to be even near boiling or even "ouch, that's hot". You can even use tepid water, you just have to steep it way longer. The stems aren't nearly as strong as the pods, but can be ground up and used for tea). Include garlic in your herb garden, it's a wonderfully powerful antibiotic. You can also go on veterinary supply websites and order antibiotics and lots of meds and med supplies ( I was a Licensed Veterinary Technician for years and lots of the meds we use on animals are the same as those prescribed to humans. I would concentrate mostly on Bactrim, as well as Sulfa-based antibiotics. Sulfa antibiotics of various kinds are strong and Silvadine cream is a great topical and even deep wound treatment if you run out of sulfa powder in your trauma kit/medicine collection. We also used this stuff called Kwik Stop, it's a hemostatic powder [likely alum or alum mixed with something] that can be a good sub for Quick Clot until you get more. You can also get I.V. kits and bags of saline, Lactated Ringers Solution and more, sutures, hemostats, scalpels and blades, syringes, bandages and dressings, and lots more
Great vid
