Remember: You can use Diphenhydramine for motion sickness/vomiting as well - so if you‘re not that helo-happy, it can really help you 😉 It also helps with sea sickness pretty well. Make sure - as Sam said - to know how it works for you and how tired it makes you. That can range from no effect to „I need to go to bed now!“ 🥴
Video Idea: Basic legalities of preforming care on another person. (I don't know if there are universal laws, or if it is dictated by local regulations, if so, nvmd)
I was trained as a cna and went to work in a nursing home when I was in my 20s. Back then they told us that because we had a cpr license, people could sue us. If we didn't have the license, their case would be harder to prove if we did something wrong. The idea was that someone who was trained should always do it right, someone who doesn't have a license but wants to help is expected to sometimes do it wrong, and thats ok. The specific example(s) they used was a guy who choked in a restaurant and an unlicensed person who had no idea how to the heimlich cracked a rib. No one on the jury wanted to award the guy anything because the person who helped was untrained and just wanted to save the guy's life. On the other hand, there was a lady who had a bone in her spine cracked by a paramedic who did chest compressions while her head was still tilted back. She did win her case.
If you do the adult/child/infant CPR/first aid/AED with the Red Cross it tells you when you should do it and what you have to ask the person before you can help
This is great, but I just got a soap container at Walmart and a bunch of tiny plastic bags and I went in my medicine cabinet and put a few doses of everything in it. Works well, didn't cost much and is easy to refill.
That is exactly what i do, but with a small food storage container. The only downsides are that I have no idea when any of it expires, I get the gas pills and the antidiarrhea mixed up, and the medicines get messed up/dirty easier. The upshot is that I can personalize it for my family, its inexpensive, and its more compact.
Glenn J, yes, I write the name of the drug, dosage and expiration date on each bag, plus the date I most recently replenished the kit on the container. Additionally there are pill identifier apps (such as Medscape’s) that allow a pill to be identified by it’s color, shape and markings. I have never had problems with customs. One time airport security was confused by my tourniquet, but then one of them saw my star of life patch and exclaimed “Oh! He’s an ‘EMS officer’!” and let me pass 😂
@@glennj6465 ?? What border can you cross right now ? What law enforcments going to bust you for Tylenol and pepto bismol ? You know they have to test the substance to convict you. Do you get stopped a lot ?
Great vid! I think one thing to note is not wanting to store these in a vehicle for a long time, or if you do, make sure you watch the temp! Idk about you but here in SoCal we keep thermometers in the med compartments of our rigs. Other than that, great introduction to the product. I bought a couple medmags for my range bag and they’re great!
Bro. Can you do videos about tactical paramedics??? Like ATF, FBI or DEA paramedics. They must have meds in the entry tactical team. It would be cool to know more about them, what they do, how they train. Thanks, take care.
I'd assume they operate and function similarly to rcmp tac medics where they are actually leo first and then with time served they become a team medic(after applying and going through separate and selective application process) within their bureau and get the same licensing and base hospital certs as civilian medics do within their respective states(apologies if I'm wrong on this). In all honesty though they receive the same training as med techs(combat medics I'm canadian) just different scenario based events(although quite similar). So think core phtls and any recommended/required tccc course.
Was about bro type the first was missing something like Sting-X but the last one had it. Good item for fellow outdoor peeps from experience it helps with jellyfish and yellow jacket stings
I have a request for a video for you firefighter colleagues. It not always that we have EMS with us when doing certain calls, but all of a sudden need some help/aid, but what could be a great load out that can fit in some of the pockets of the turnout gear, but also stand the occasional heat of external extinguishing. Kind of different to your role, but still in the same ball park😀🚒🚑
Good stuff. I have a similar (home made) kit in a lock sac bag for international travel in areas where finding good meds is tough. Lots of overlap and got some additional ideas!
You know I was literally looking at these last week and was wondering about them. Thanks for the review and I totally agree that the basic medications are just as important as the rest of the stuff. Being married to an RN we are never in a shortage of OTC meds haha. I will likely be getting at least one of these.
Each state has its own requirements for each category. I’d do research on my state and run with that. In California there are EMT-B offerings in community colleges, private colleges and some adult schools. PM schools can range from universities(UCLA), community colleges, and private. Don’t be afraid to call an agency in your area to find out. Who knows, you might just find a mentor that way. Best of luck!
Honestly most things in his kits are Bls, you just have to realize what you can and cannot use in your state where you're working. check out his vehicle kit video
"Car First Aid Kit" most contents are BLS, Idk what you can do as an emt where you are but my vehicle bag is pretty much the same except I carry IV stuff with a bag of normal saline.
Honestly I really like your videos I am really obsessed with law enforcement I want to eventually try to get into law enforcement myself even though I am handicapped in special needs and disabled. Is there a way that you could do a video on your patrol car and show was what the setup looks like?
Once again a great product(s) review and "informational" backgrounder video. Being Canadian I would have to research import regulations of the products (even though they are over the counter type products) as Canadian regulations may restrict importation. Again, great presentation.
I’ve just come across this video, and my question is an honest one, not a sarcastic one, but is there a reason why a med kit would opt for popsicle sticks over an actual finger splint? The sticks need tape of some sort, which was not included in the kit, while you can get a finger splint with Velcro on it. Just wondered what the reasoning may have been, I’m not a very tactical person, so it had me scratching my head a minute.
Dam it stop!!!! My wife is getting mad about me ordering so much from SOAR medical. 😆 🤣 😂 Seriously though awesome video and I'm glad they have these. The mag pouche one though I really wish they had the electrolytes over the band-aid and eye drops. You can't always find electrolyte packs everywhere like the others. Still ordering them though. Thanks again.
@@vagamorth awesome will do. Last couple week's has been kinda crazy so I'll try and get you a message this week. Thanks again and I'm really digging the products and prices.
Please make a vid on when to use a tourniquet, pressure/ compression bandage, chest seals, triangle bandages and all the stuff used in a normal medical kit
I know everything there is OTC but how does it jive with state protocols for meds. As an EMT, I can give aspirin for chest pain but its only been since last year that I'm allowed to give a couple of OTC pain relievers. I'm still not allowed to administer diphenhydramine. Its always been silly to me but my certification really limits what I can "legally" break out of one of these kits and hand to someone. Just between us, and all of youtube, I'd do it anyway, I'm just curious what the consensus out there is on giving meds you're not technically supposed to be giving.
They wrote the applications for each of the meds on the box/pack. If you hand someone the box and tell them to look through it, you have technically not administered anything.
Finding single use meds like these are for some reason tough to come by in Canada. Even travel sized ones are too big to fill out a comfort kit without opening the packages and breaking them down. The pill refills they have on their site are very reasonably priced. As are the Mag kits. Just wonder if the shipping outside the US will be $$$. :) Oh and long term storing the meds in a vehicle in summer heat could be problematic.
Hey! Katia from soar here, we are able to ship to Canada! Shipping is usually around 10 to 15 bucks to Canada. Most items are not restricted, only the super specialized ones are, feel free to email me what you want to order at sales@soarescue.com and I'll let you know
I have similar DIY kits made up. Just bought 'dime bags' at the dollar store and printed labels with name, dosage and expiry date. Oh, and lot number in case of recall, but that can go on the back.
Yeah, I use it on flights. It’s ok, has some issues with bags falling off if I move it to the patients lap but other then that it works. Sometimes a good carabiner is the way to go
I sell small first aid kits online and I always put bandaids and OTC pain and allergy medicine with the other stuff because that's what used most. But they have become hard to find individually packaged in bulk, especially Ibuprofen. Not sure why. ( I know med supplies as a whole cuz covid-19 but I wasn't sure if that effected this)
Hello Sam, hope you all are doing fine during this turbulent time. I always wants to know where to get trained for operating equipments like ars needles and bvms as a civilian (if there is training for civilian). Thank you, and stay safe.
I have a friend that uses cocaine and he sure does act funny and always wants to borrow money from me. Maybe I should inform him it's bad for his heart.
Remember:
You can use Diphenhydramine for motion sickness/vomiting as well - so if you‘re not that helo-happy, it can really help you 😉 It also helps with sea sickness pretty well.
Make sure - as Sam said - to know how it works for you and how tired it makes you. That can range from no effect to „I need to go to bed now!“ 🥴
You can also sniff a alcohol prep pad for a few seconds and it gives most people an immediate effect for helping with nausea.
"As you touch your face, god forbid other things." Yes, I've been there. It sucks

he just gave me a tone of the idea of what first aid/med item, to carry or bring in my daily life .
This is great, but I just got a soap container at Walmart and a bunch of tiny plastic bags and I went in my medicine cabinet and put a few doses of everything in it. Works well, didn't cost much and is easy to refill.
But what if your stopped by law enforcement/border control?? Is it labelled as what the items are /use / dose/ contraindicates ??

One thing I would add to both boxes is a pair of gloves in case you are treating someone other than yourself
I'm defiantly adding both boxes along with a iFak kit in my 4runner.

Can you do a video on how to become a paramedic/EMT and recommended colleges for being a paramedic
He already did, dude
@Alex Marian he made a video on how to become a swat medic and paramedic school tips but not how to become just a paramedic and recommended colleges
Ppcc

@Andrew V thanks for the advice and I welcome any other advice/information from you or any else
I really like your videos, the descriptions of products are very comprehensive and the uses are explained thoroughly. Great job :)
Hey man thanks for the upload love your content. I'm an EMT-B and was wondering if you could do some kit builds and other videos for us BLS providers.
Honestly most things in his kits are Bls, you just have to realize what you can and cannot use in your state where you're working. check out his vehicle kit video

Please make more ifak reviews, I’m looking for one to bring in my backpack to school that will help at anytime
Who else got an ad from safe life defense where he was reviewing the armor? 😂😂😂
As a cop, I've given out way more Tylenol, ibuprofen, and bandaids than I have even touched a tourniquet.
Love the video and the information.

Could you maybe discuss about the laws regarding first aid, our limits as a civilian and discuss lawsuits?
Alot to be desired on the organization side of things

There should be room for a couple of Emergen-C pouches in the Med Mag pouch. There are other options now too.
Great video!
So I took some Dyphen to see if it really knocks you out. Wish me luck.
Please make a vid on when to use a tourniquet, pressure/ compression bandage, chest seals, triangle bandages and all the stuff used in a normal medical kit
Already have videos covering all of that stuff
Ok
Also what classes are country wide that would offer first aid and training with all the stuff I listed above for teenagers?
PrepMedic also what brand and where did you get your saline from? I’m looking for some to put in a kit I’m making
What would you recommend for getting into search and rescue professionally
Good ideas 😊 thank you ☺️

Have you use the scorpion? I hate fumbling with IV bags trying to hang them in the back of the truck. Wondering if the scorpion would make it easier.
Yeah, I use it on flights. It’s ok, has some issues with bags falling off if I move it to the patients lap but other then that it works. Sometimes a good carabiner is the way to go

Ask your pharmacy if they can do a roll pack. Our service does this for oral meds. Comes in long perforated rolls of one or two tablets Rach

What if you are allergic to Penicillin and what is a counter drug to treat .?
poison ivy does not do anything to me i think im really lucky for it to not affect me
Can you review Red Cross first aid courses
So, pillbox plus, where are the pills?
I've looked at tons of kit videos and none recommend q-tips. Are they a god part of a kit?
Qtips make good swabs. I've used them most for cleaning crud from around eyes. Not for your ears tho.
Is there a document included to determine what meds are for?
It's on the back of the Pill Box and on the insert card for the Med Mag.
seems likie they should have some tampons for nose bleeds, or if you have girls in your group that might need some
Everyone trusts their mother, you need to become the "mother".
You look exhausted in this video.
did you know that anything that ends with cain is bad for your heart
Actually Lidocaine is used as antiarrythmic in cardiac arrest for certain rhythms.
I have a friend that uses cocaine and he sure does act funny and always wants to borrow money from me. Maybe I should inform him it's bad for his heart.
Are you ok brother? You look so skinny
Are you expected to buy all this stuff with your own money, or will your employer cover it?
