Essential items that are always in my vehicle: - First aid kit (with extra latex gloves) - Duct tape (for repairs) - Rope (for tying down anything to the car) - Handcuffs (works great with the rope) - Hacksaw (helps get any felled trees off the road) - Cleaver/butcher knife (on the road food processing) - Tire iron (for your tires) - Hammer (emergency window breaker) - Ski mask (for when it gets gold) - Leather gloves (to keep your hands clean) - Large black trash bags (to clean up road litter) - Shovel (in case you get stuck in mud/snow) - Bleach (cleaning materials in case you get dirty) - Bag of lye (more cleaning materials in case you get dirty) - Change of clothes (again in case you get dirty) - Gasoline (y'know, if you run out of gas) I keep them all secure in a nice black duffel bag in my trunk.
hammer is pretty much obsolete, since multitools and even the tire iron can fulfill each of its purposes. anything durable (and/or heavy) can be used as a window breaker, and multitools from any self-respecting brand can very well take a hit or two in an emergency. but if you have room for a hammer or feel comfortable having one just in case, I don't blame you.
@@diamondcreepah I'd give his list a re-read with some emphasis on the comedic undertone there brother. Unless you've been in on the joke the whole time, in which case, this is all getting too meta for my poor mind
The field notes and writing tool are great if you want to write a journal for when the protagonist comes through the area, he can read your journal and find the remnants of your journey while he goes through the area.
It is also good to record events that might require a visit to a courtroom years down the line. We will not remember things as well as when they just happened, and having a way to record your memories is better than forgetting them if you are a witness to something bad.
Something else I have personally noticed and there is no study on this. But most of the women I have met with serious mental illnesses have all had a childhood stuffed animal they loved destroyed or lost in a traumatic way. For a kid it’s a small peice of them .
For medical stuff, I would advise adding 2-4 CAT tourniquets to your box, and storing way more gauze than you think you'll ever need. Tourniquets are fantastic for arterial bleeds in limbs, very good at preventing shock, and for torso bleeds you'll want a LOT of gauze. There is a surprising volume of blood in the average human.
And don't practice using a tourniquet with the same tourniquet you pack away. Have one for training and one for real. The wire gets stretched out the more you use one.
Medical guy here - first thanks for pointing out the tampon trope BS, but a couple notes & suggestions: -Tourniquets (preferable CAT, and don’t get a knock-off. They’re $30 and indispensable when you need them) -don’t put tegaderm on a burn (and they aren’t good as an occlusive dressing either) -don’t use alcohol to “restore blood flow to extremities” when hypothermic, or really ever. Your body is shunting blood for a reason and if you fight that you’ll be in a worse spot. -100 proof (50%) alcohol won’t burn, and isn’t really sufficient for fire starting. You want about 70%, and everclear isn’t good because that high of an alcohol content will evaporate before really doing any disinfecting. -Gloves are a good call -get roller gauze, it’s good for packing wounds, wrapping extremities, etc. Just very versatile and useful. -consider a pocket mask for rescue breathing. If you aren’t comfortable with doing that, that’s fine, but the most important part of CPR is compressions so please don’t withhold those just because you don’t want to do rescue breaths
One really important thing is those choking relief masks. They are like 20 dollars and come with two pieces one to fit adult mouth and one child. Can easily save a life as choking is a common thing.
I am absolutely torn between this(the video) being satire and serious. There is legit good advice, fucking TERRIBLE advice (alcohol for blood flow to extremeties) and a bunch of advice that sounds good until you look at it closely (tampons). I'm... Impressed.
You're clearly not a medical guy. If you are bleeding badly enough to need a tourniquet, and an ambulance is not there within ten minutes, you're dead anyway. If you aren't bleeding badly enough to need a tourniquet and you use it anyway, you could lose a limb, or damage it permanently. Anyone watching this video, and taking the advice, doesn't know how to use a tourniquet. Get real
@@DrPeculiar312 lol bro that’s exactly why having a tourniquet is important for a kit like that. Fun fact: properly applied tourniquet = bleeding stops = time for professional help. Also 10 minutes is very generous for an arterial bleed that needs a TQ. Also also, tourniquets can be safely applied and left on for hours or longer with no long-term damage. gtfo with your 1990’s medical thinking
This is an excellent list. I shall leave a friendly reminder to everyone here in the comments that emergency situations and survival skills are the difference between life and death when dealing with situations that are not only possible, but literally do happen unexpectedly, accidentally, and seemingly at random. Lists such as these, as well as related skill sets, really might save your life (or someone else’s). It can also decrease the severity of suffering that you or someone else might experience. If you’ve never been stranded, slept in a car, slept outside, or administered first aid, doesn’t mean that you’re not going to have to do so going forward. Failure to plan is equivalent to planning to fail. I will be sharing this video with friends and family. People these days don’t seem to enjoy reading as much as someone like myself, so perhaps the video format will make this topic more accessible for certain people.
And for god's sake, go camping once or twice and practice a few basic skills so you aren't completely clueless if you find yourself in a survival situation. You don't have to become Bear Grylls but if you know how to make a shelter out of a tarp and you have some idea on how to make a fire then if you are ever in a survival situation you're going to be in a much better position to last a while out there.
@@bajjajajbajjjajaj6473don't think he meant it like that, just that there are entire books dedicated to this stuff in any library or bookstore, but it's the first time I've personally stumbled upon a video about it spontaneously.
Lol the stuffed animal during traumatic events thing makes a lot of sense to me now, I had to get a bunch of staples in my head, because I cracked my head open when I was really little, and at the hospital they gave me a blue teddy bear that I called "boo-boo bear" and he was my favorite stuffed animal for the rest of my childhood, so W hospital ig
I used to travel a lot in the mountains for work. I used to have a kit like this in my car and inspected monthly. It's important to realize that what goes in the kit stays in the kit and never leaves the kit. Also, it's Glock. Glock made knives before guns and their knives are good and also cheap. If you buy one, do not get the 78 like he has. Get the 81 since it is a survival knife and has a saw back and will be more useful in a survival situation.
Recently my truck was broken into and mt "Oh shit road side kit" was stolen. I've used this video to rebuild it. I've bought some steel cables and padlocks and locked it to a seat in my truck. Honestly this is one of the best videos I've come across for car/truck kits.
@@AdamantLightLP I'm mostly pissed that the little bag that held the cables for my emergency battery jumper were stolen. So now I bought another and have two of em with 1 set of cables.
EMT here. Add tourniquets, more gauze than you would ever think you need, and a needle decompression kit. While chest seals are good at not letting other stuff in, they are not particularly good at letting pressure out of the pleural space, needle decompression is a necessity if you collapse a lung or have a tension pneumothorax. Learn how to use them though because you CAN and WILL do it wrong if you just go poking around with one.
yeah I think for a layperson without at least EMT or high-level EMR, needle decomp might be a no-go. Particularly in an austere setting without a prehospital service's level of monitoring equipment. Im a WEMT and we tend to shy away from it
@@arlogleich6174 I tend to agree, but if I’m in the mountains with a collapsed lung, that doesn’t bode well for a chance at survival. Most anyone can learn needle decomp on it’s own, and if it gives you a chance at survival better than without it I’d like to have the option available. I’d like to reiterate that I’m not just suggesting people shove needles randomly in their chest, you need to know how and when to use it.
@@d2solutions185 peopling shoving needing randomly into chests is what the entire profession of acupuncture is built on, thank you very much. But yeah I definitely see what you're saying, ultimately i think it probably comes down to evac times and level of training. I'm just wary because Ive responded to calls where very stupid people have tried to improvise needle decomps or even crics on patients simply because they saw it on PrepMedic.
In 1995 I was in a serious car crash. I was 4 years old and sitting in the front seat. My chief memories are the bright gold flash after impact and the airbag hitting me in the face, and then being very cold and scared while waiting for emergency services to arrive. I begged and begged for a blanket, and only received one of those emergency space blankets, which I disdainfully described as a tarp. However, the firemen gave me a teddy bear, which became the focus for the rest of the night. It definitely, definitely helped. A blanket really would have, too.
What's the cutoff age on average for kiddos riding shotgun and not in a car seat? Seems like 4 is cutting it super close at best, or too young at worst
@@JK-gm6kk there weren't laws about that sort of thing back then, and no one really thought about it. Iirc they passed laws prohibiting children from the front seat later that year or the year after. They used an image on the news of a little girl who had a burn over one entire side of her face from the airbag. I had had that too, exactly like it in location, but not as severe. But it stuck with me due to how similar it was to my own injury.
I just wanted to say if anyone cares. With the UV5R lookup on youtube how to factory reset it. Get the CHIRP program use it to add the repeaters in your area. And it's only 70 for a 10 year FCC license for the GMRS frequencies. The license also covers your family so only one person needs it.
Even not fearing some form of societal collapse or apocalyptic scenario, this is fantastic advice as someone from the Gulf region of Florida. Hurricanes and other natural disasters routinely cause catastrophic damage and injuries and having a kit to help yourself and others while services are diverted elsewhere is a MUST.
ALSO DO NOT CONSUME LIQUOR TO INDUCE BLOOD FLOW TO EXTREMITIES UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. IT'S ONLY SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN PRAYING AND BEING DRUNK IN A LIFE OR DEATH SCENARIO IS NO GOOD
I remember the disaster prep agencies, FEMA and the like really latching onto the "zombie preparedness" movement for a few years while it was popular, just because it got people to actually prepare for having no outside supplies for a week or two
Also in mexifornia. The elites here are truly demonic. Countless regular people I know but definitely not myself are somehow “criminals” just by having firearms/accessories that you could buy same day at a gas station/gun shop in another state. Then again, weed could put you in jail in some states. I guess there is no real free state in America.
Regarding the flashlight and headlamp, I highly recommend keeping them without batteries, and keeping a stock of new batteries for them alongside. Nearly every year when I break out my camping stuff one of my half-dozen battery powered light devices has had a battery corrode/leak inside.
@@bbbbbbb51 I didn't call out crank to charge. I called out shake to charge flashlights _tending_ to blow. It's not because of the shaking. It's because they are frequently cheap Chinese boards with inadequate capacitors used to store the charge. The crank up systems are more complicated, requiring more moving parts, a core with multiple magnets equally spaced, and gears capable of holding up to rigorous use. Therefore, they tend to be more expensive than a bar magnet in a tube with willy nilly windings found in a shake flashlight. So, if there is a cheap route to make something resembling something reliable, the minimum effort and quality will be put into the cheap product, so while the cost for the consumer may be half that of a reliable product, the cost to manufacture could end up being less than a tenth the price, leading to cheap crap flooding the market.
Lot of good items on this video. A few alterations I would make: 1 premade first aid kits are a total scam, and you can always make a better one for less. Also, definitely get blood clotting agent. 2 An emergency beacon costs a lot less money than a sat phone. You can't talk through it, but you will be rescued if you turn it on. 3 Highly recommend a road flare for light, heat, and if it's an extreme emergency, a road flare can start a fire using rotten wood in pouring rain 4 A nice water filter is very small, and lightweight, and often better than tablets or a jug. 5 Coast guard rations, or similar ration bars are very calorie dense and almost infinitely shelf stable.
@@coloneljacobs2217 Always good to have lots of it in several forms. Clotting packs, powders, sprays, whatever. Specifically for a car first aid kit, if someone crashed and and is badly hurt, mitigating blood loss is the number one thing that an untrained person can do to buy them some time.
@@fleshsimulator 6ft is alright, you might want to consider getting combat gauze. But definitely get a tourniquet or two. Everyone is gonna tell you to get a CAT, but trust me, SOFT-W is >>>
@@coloneljacobs2217 Gauze is good, and I would recommend also having packs and powder. If you are untrained and waiting for help, slowing the loss of blood is the most important thing you can do.
Zip ties are incredibly useful for minor temp repairs. They've kept my car going or gotten rid of noises a few times, and they're easier to secure than rope
My biggest offering to this after being in a rollover. STRAP EVERYTHING DOWN! Don't have all your random shit exposed if it's not strapped down or in the trunk or in a glove box this includes pens, change, tools and just the random shit you collect. Every random object becomes a projectile, and if you have crap in the passenger seat and roll sideways it'll smack you
@@flopus7as a a paramedic that’s done a TON of vehicle crash work on a major costal highway, you’d be surprised the amount of foreign objects we find inside folk at crash scenes, let alone limbs being decapitated/maimed. Strap your kit down, you’ll live longer.
I'm SO glad you also have a real blanket and not just an emergency blanket. The dumbest but most common car survival emergency I can think of is people who can't start their engine and they (like most people) only dressed warm enough to go from parking space to building during a dangerously cold time of the year. Just forget having clean empty seats in the winter have an extra jacket/sleeping bag/wool blanket within reach.
Fr I always bring a below zero sleeping bag. Extra winter jacket, tin with a full roll of toilet paper soaked in isopropyl alcohol (it can burn for longer than 24 hours with a decently big flame and its quite easy to snuff out with the tin lid), food and insulated water container at least a half gallon big when I'm crossing through Wyoming or Montana in the winter. And that's on top of all the stuff he's already mentioned in this video.
@bickyboo7789 that isopropyl will not last 24 hours, I recommend you soak that in a mix of 70%parifin 15% bbq starter fluid and 15% cooking oil (used oil is perfectly fine). Pure parrifin is too hard to get the wick detached from the roll, adding the other oils will soften the material to allow a little chunk of paper to be pulled up for an easy way to start the fire.
this was one of the first things my dad told me when I got my first car! I've made it a habit to tell my friends (especially girl friends, we all have 8 billion blankets lying around) to put at least one and an old (preferably oversized) winter coat in the trunk. ya never know when the shitbox (or even brand new car) will decide to give out
I recently broke down in between 2 towns in a spot that was out of the way but not super remote. Because it was 10pm on the night before a holiday, the 3 of the 4 wrecker companies within sane distance were either closed or had 6-8 hour wait times. We were suddenly faced with the very real prospect of spending the night in the desert in a van with a dead electrical system and only what we had with us. Fortunately, we like to road trip in comfort, so what we had with us was more than sufficient, plus we did manage to find a wrecker that worked us in to the schedule, but it really highlighted how quickly a vehicular situation can go pear shaped, even in a fairly normal circumstance.
Or just a brick phone that you can call 911 with. Won't work if you aren't near a cell tower but if you are, you can call 911. I used to keep one in a water proof box when kayaking.
A Personal Locator Beacon is also useful. No subscription, but all it does is ping a satellite constellation saying "I need help" and relevant search and rescue teams are dispatched. You can get old ones used for
7:37 actually good advice. I witnessed a car crash and the kids weren't hurt but very scared. That is really good advice along with the rest of the video.
Highly recommend everyone takes a Stop the Bleed course too. In addition to dispelling the tampon for GSW myth, it's super helpful to practice with TQs and real would packing.
That thermal blanket predator thing- Consider it like “parrying a thermal sweep” unless you have a sizable gap of air ,like covering a tent , otherwise you’ve got like 8-10 minutes till the air under the blanket is sizably different than surroundings. - Thanks for being one of the last genuinely original youtubers we have. Even if a 10:30 makes it into the production every once in a while
Did you know that the indiscriminate US drone campaigns of 2006-2014 compelled many middle eastern women to buy mylar lined burkas, to avoid being targeted by IR cameras?
PTSD prevention kit: get a cheap game console (Tetris highly recommended) and some spare batteries. Blanket is great for comfort but if you can keep their short term memory occupied with a game you can prevent strong traumatic memories from forming.
mini new testament bible, something to read and even more important if you don't already know Jesus and your day is lookin grim. the problem of eternal life has already been solved people.
It's a good list but I would make a few minor corrections/suggestions: For waterproof notebook, if the manufacturer makes you buy their pen, buy it. Regular pen ink WILL smear when wet. Their ink will soak into the paper correctly. Yes, the pens are expensive. Road flares. Get them. The most common need for an emergency kit is a car accident. A flare is visible more easily than a reflective triangle at night. They're even better if you have a triangle AND flares. For medical supplies, only use stuff you have experience or training using. If you do not know how to apply a tourniquet, do not use it. If you apply one, do not undo it after application. If you do not know how to treat a hole, have the victim apply pressure and push as hard as they can without stopping until help arrives. Pointy thing is good, but a little unwieldy. I would suggest either a hatchet or folding pointy thing. Have asprin in case of heart attack, have them chew a tablet as directed. DO NOT give them Tylenol. Electric blood pressure machines are super cheap and small. Extremely helpful info you can give to paramedics in case of emergency.
E-tool is also a good backup pointy thing. More useful as a pointy thing and "Oh, hey, you also have a collapsible shovel now." Having a knife too isn't bad; my EDC is pretty solid, not too big, and has a window breaker in the grip, but if I need a pointy thing I'd like the pointy end to be as far from me as can be when I use it.
A Hi Vis Jacket is one item I swear by because it might have saved my life. When your car breaks down at night or you get into a crash constantly worrying if the people driving up can even see you is an annoying added stress to a already high stress situation. You can get them online for about $10 and almost always can fit in any emergency pack.
Recently managed to snag a nice new one at a yard sale for a buck. Only bought it cuz I thought it looked potentially stylish, good to know it might be a life saver too
I have a few suggestions. Instead of a Bic, use a Clipper, you can take out the sparker and use it freely if the gas tank gets crushed, plus they're so much easier to use, fantastic lighters. Tourniquets, ideally with a metal windlass, not only for stopping bleeding, but also for binding things together. I personally would rather have a flare gun, they're more stable than some cheap bottle rockets, plus, you can use the shells in a shotgun without a choke, ideally use a single shot. Zip ties, bind things together good. Trash, Ziploc, and whatever other kind of bag you may want, always handy. A few dust masks, ideally something like N95s in case of, anything really. You might think I'd recommend a gas mask given my profile picture, but that's way too bulky to be practical. A United States Carbine, caliber .30, M1.
I was also thinking that a separate video could be done with all of the different pieces and parts of the lighter. I have a bunch of screenshots from a comment section where there's like over a dozen you can still do with a busted empty lighter. Also knife is good for scraping off wet bark to get to dry wood underneath. Works best when it stops raining, of course
@@lastvestigesOh there are still loads of things you can do with an empty Bic for sure, but many of those things can be done with a Clipper too. I didn't mention a knife in additional things because Flesh Simulator already did, but honestly a knife should just be part of your EDC anyway. What type of knife you should carry is HIGHLY dependent on your local laws (if you're State side, check even your county laws, those can sometimes be more strict than State laws), personal preference, the sort of job you do, ect. Personally, at a minimum I carry 2, the Cold Steel SR1 Lite because it's probably the toughest folder on the market, and the commercial version of the Victorinox Swiss Army issued knife. Sometimes I'll carry a small utility blade as well when I'm at work in case I have to deal with a bunch of packages.
Water wise, a case and a virus-level small filter pump is perhaps overkill, but also very handy for regular things like "Oh I'd like a drink but all there is around is this ditch."
@@Czarro672I'd argue that. You're probably going to get your feet wet using it in a survival situation, that's a no no. You can also fill a bottle/pot with a filter pump without the spit transfer too.
Deep reach pencils are used for transfering hole locations from one part to another, can be used along with cardboard to make a makeshift gasket but you would have to be screwed for that. Also car stuff: Jumper cables, some way to inflate tires, a folding shovel and gloves or mittens if you live in a cold place, an ice scraper for your windows, bottled water either to drink or for your radiator.
i grew up in the north and its common for every kid to receive a go bag for their car as a present when they get their driver's license. mine has a full emergency kit which includes duct tape, grip gloves, snatch rope, road markers, tire inflator, jumper cables, full first aid kit that has everything (including sutures), multiple flashlights (including one that runs from the car battery), and some other goodies. that all goes in a case that velcros to the trunk liner so it doesn't flop around. then my duffle bag has two jackets, two MREs, a bunch of water (about two gallons), a few books, a bunch of paracord, fire starting stuff, spare tire studs and lugs (yes i have snapped a stud before), a rubber mallet, a bunch of wire, waterproof picnic blanket, and condoms. the condoms are great for transporting water and also great for banging in the woods.
jesus christ bud u might wanna throw out those sutures. Im a WEMT and even I stay away from using sutures in the prehospital environment. Most doctors do too. Grap some surgical glue or wound zips instead
@@arlogleich6174 oh? i have only ever done sutures on a dog before (we took him to the vet after to make sure he didn't get an infection), and it was easier than i expected. using the ones in my field kit would be an absolute last resort for a person and not an animal, but i see your point with surgical glue. i actually do have some, but i tend to not use it because in my experience it will either fail or it will not breathe like its supposed to and the wound will fill with goo and create a bubble like a blister that eventually ruptures. i do have steri strips in my kit, but i've also seen those just bust open. you have a point about the glue being much cleaner and safer than the sutures though. either way, there is super glue in my kit for puncture wounds. it seems like the most times i've had a heavy bleeding wound it has been a puncture that can't be sewn closed anyway. to be clear, i'd never recommend anyone ever do sutures on themselves or someone else to "treat" a wound. first aid is about staying alive until you get to the hospital, not doing hospital procedures in the field (that's what i was told over and over lol).
I'd recommend also keeping the basics of a car recovery kit in the car, I've needed to use these far more often than bandaids with the janky vehicles I've driven: Emergency triangle, jack, wheel tools, jumper leads, patch kit, tyre pump. TWO pliers (very hard to twist wire with one), cable ties, spanner kit, old blanket, tow rope.... AND A freaking SPARE WHEEL WHY DO PEOPLE NOT HAVE THIS
Great advice! Bleedstop powder, tourniquets, large bandages, towels, duct tape, are good too. To go with the ferro rod, add vasoline smeared toilet paper sealed in multiple watertight sandwich bags, for fire starting. Small metal pot. Cordage.
Careful with the caffeinated items in a big out or emergency kit caffeine is a diuretic. Also you can use ham radios during emergency situations and won’t be fined for it. If you do get a portable ham radio I highly recommend getting an extended antenna. For flashlights I recommend Milwaukees double A light bars. Super bright has a magnetic back and it takes just 2 AA batteries. Sharpies are also always a smart move. And do keep tablets in the case. One is none and two is one. Redundant measures when in an emergency is important.
I think he's bringing the licensing thing up so people can practice with their tools ahead of time; you don't want the first time you use your radio to be a life or death situation.
@@AJadedLizard that’s fair but also people might hesitate to use it if they think that they will be in trouble for using it. Obviously there’s a difference between a flat tire and someone dying. But you can use a bofang in both cb and ham settings so if you want to practice with it just switch it the cb channels and practice with a buddy there.
WEMT here, first and one of the best things you can do medical-wise, take a course! First aid/stop the bleed is alright, but if you really want to be prepared to render aid in an austere environment, take a Wilderness First Aid (16h) or a Wilderness First Responder (80h).
One thing that I always pack in my first aid kits when I'm out in the mountains, is hemostatic dressings. When you have a puncture wound in any arterial region, gauss won't cut it and a tourniquet either can't be used or would cause further issues. Depending on the dressing used they can ONLY be removed surgically, but they will stop you from bleeding out, particularly if you need to be transported to get proper medical attention. You'll find them everywhere in warzones, and for good reason - and in the past decade they've started to migrate into the civilian world more. I used them overseas, and I've used them as a paramedic. You might slightly annoy the doctor seeing you, but you also won't have a horribly contaminated wound. Also ; Sat phones can be found used for the price of a couple pizzas, particularly from government auctions. There's little reason not to get one if you're going somewhere out of service.
but hemostatic dressings ARE gauze. Also, idk what you're talking about that "puncture wound in any arterial region, gauss won't cut it and a tourniquet either can't be used". Bro tourniquets should ALWAYS be the go-to after digital pressure on the wound isnt enough. The only use for wound packing is when a tourniquet isnt available or the wound is in a junctional area. bro im only a WEMT and i know that
This is a good car kit, and looks a lot like mine. May I suggest: this kit is light on the ability to work on the car. Causing yourself to not be stranded anymore is better than many items you could use in case of being stranded. A set of open end wrenches or, if you must, a couple crescent wrenches, and a multi-size wrench like a dogbone or "lazy"/"self-tightening" wrench could allow you to, for example, get that loose ground terminal clamp fastened back onto your battery. The multi tool screwdrivers may be sufficient, but being able to work bolts and nuts has saved me from being stranded many times (and remember you often need to operate both sides of the bolt/nut). Also, a paper map of your region and the region you're taking a road trip to is very low cost and takes up very little space. A 12v tire inflator has also saved me many times from being stranded (even if you have a spare, the odds that it's fully inflated are low, and your "flat" tire may well hold air for 10-20 miles without needing to be changed). Tire patch kits are very cheap and couldn't hurt, either. Finally, I didn't see cash in there. Being able to buy gas if something goes wrong with your credit card, or buy a snack for the kids if you forget your wallet, etc., is a basic need for a car IMO.
As a Disaster Management professional this is extremely good advice and does something we in the professional setting always struggle with; it's approachable AND entertaining for complete novices that don't know anything about emergency preparedness. Thank you so much for making this video. Also, excellent idea with the stuffy. First Responders have always used them, but I'm going to add one to my personal kit today.
Plus, you really think you're just gonna be able to stab a guy to death, even in a survival situation? It's maybe the most brutal thing you can do to someone unless you're getting morbidly creative, and I can't see it being as easy as everyone assumes it will be, especially if you're a regular non-stabby person. You're *GONNA* watch someone bleed out horribly and watch their soul creep out slowly, maybe while you are also dying. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!
@@Bobbleheads56 1. The Glock sucks, it's definitely not a gun designed by a deity 2. The Lord's caliber is .45 ACP, not 9mm (I know there's Glocks in .45, but most people mean the wonder 9's when they mention a Glock) 3. The Patron Saint of Firearms is not Gaston Glock, it's Moses Browning. We'll see if militaries are still using guns designed by Glock in 50~60 years and can reassess then, but Browning's got >100 year old guns that are not only still in service, but are well liked, prolific, and to my knowledge, still not slated for replacement.
A note about the Baofeng. You are allowed to use HAM radios without a license in the case of actual emergency, and you won't get in trouble. It's why they are so popular among preppers and people without a license. Pray you don't, but the only time you would really ever need to use one is likely in an emergency anyway.
The only thing I’d add is 2 or 3 TQs, some 550 cord, a signaling mirror, compass, and a couple of road flares. I think a gun and a couple spare mags goes without saying as well as recovery equipment if you’re in a 4x4.
Additional you should carry OUTSIDE of your case. A regular, waterproof tarp the size of your windshield. 550 or better paracord, and larger diamond braid rope. (and a tourniquet or 7 inside, as others have already mentioned. Just make sure you get the training for them too or they're just fancy toggles) My Gramps (was a firefighter and a mechanic) taught me this one for when you have snow expected and might need to make a quick getaway in the middle of it. Tarp goes over the windshield at night, if you need to go NOW you just pull the tarp off and you have a clear windshield without having to scrape ice off or clear snow. Rough fold and stow. Can also be used as a windbreak or a shelter, all the normal tarp things. Rope is for tyeing down, can be made a tourniquet, and other normal rope things.
I just bought a car last week. They tried to sell me a first aid kit but i already have a kit with basically all the stuff you’ve got in yours. I should get a pelican case though, that’s a good idea. Been considering getting a stomp kit but honestly that’s just overkill and you don’t really want that stuff just baking in your trunk all day anyway. Also the gerber otf pliers multitool is my edc. Excellent tool.
I would add a camping hatchet, because you may not be wanting to go camping, but those have a side that's a hammer and the other is a small axe, plus it's not rare that they come with a nail puller, and you know, that's always neat... And they are also, "theoretically", effective against zombies.
You can also split small pieces of wood with the claw of a common construction hammer. Either one can do both in a pinch, and they're both solid options for crackheads. Straight-claw hammer if you're more worried about fixing things, axe if you're more worried about getting lost, I guess.
Thermal Blankets are also good for making Solar Stills and solar ovens if you have some kind of clear plastic sheet to go with them. If you want a solar still, dig a hole and then dig a trench around that hole. Cover said holes with thermal blanket (or just dig one hole and put a bucket, or some other container in the middle, but this will still work if you dont have one.) Then take the plastic sheet and dangle it over the hole, making sure the part that hangs the lowest is over the hole/bucket. Fill the covered trench with water, and bing bang boom, as the water evaporates and condenses you have clean water in the middle container. For a solar over, just dig 1 hole, line it with the thermal blanket, and cover that with the plastic blanket pulled taught. Do note, both of these are somewhat stopgap measures if you can't make fire. Fire will do both Water Purification and Cooking at a much more accelerated rate than their solar counterparts, plus has some added benefits like repeling bugs and scaring many preadators. But if you are being followed by hostiles, or it is too wet to start a fire, the sun may be your best option. Also, dont drink distilled water for extended periods of time if possible. It is actually 100% pure, and lacks any of the minerals normal water has that are needed for survival. But, a few nutrient deffecincies will be a lot.less deadly than dying of thirst.

Hi, good stuff, but alcohol is is vasoconstrictor. While it may make you feel warmer in the cold, it's actually suppressing your circulation. Still, tons of uses for sanitizing equipment or even trading with folks, so good idea to carry some.
I have a ridiculous amount of candy and comfort stuff for the kids. Didn't think to vacuum seal those too. And I love using that vacuum sealer. Only rec would be a LOT more calories. Maybe a laminated local map.
2:13 FYI, when it comes to alcohol as an antiseptic 70% is marginally better than 90%. The way that alcohol permeates a cell membrane requires added water to work more effectively for some bacteria.
Definitely a good kit, I’d add a few things like several tourniquets, ( make sure you have 1 for everyone in your family and that if you have small kids that you get some that will work on them) a small jump box, a portable phone charger (because most people aren’t checking/swapping out batteries, charge cords for all your electronics, ( you may want to play angry birds while waiting to be saved) spare meds if you’re someone who needs them to live, I’d swap bottle rockets for Roman candles if you can because they’re easier to see and aim, a small gas can and a good pair of walking shoes because you don’t want to have to hike up the side of a hill in flip flops and last a map and compass incase you have no service.
Regarding the radio: As a non-licensed user, you can still program channels and listen into whatever traffic you wish as long as you are not transmitting. There are a lot of channels such as NOAA weather stations and local HAM stations that participate in Ametuer Radio Emergency Services (ARES) programs that someone may want to have handy. A lot of local municipalities also have provisions for emergency radio use. In addition, knowing how to transmit is still useful, as FCC specifically exempts non-licensed use in the case of emergency. That being said, the HAM tests cover a ton of extremely useful information and I highly recommend that interested parties put some research in even if they do no intend to get licensed.
Water in those Aluminum Bottles. I have not had those burst open when frozen. Clear Shower Curtain - It's $10 and can use it to patch a busted out window or use it for water collection. Paracord - You always need string. Cut string get many small string inside. Picture hanging wire/safety wire - Use it to tie up exhaust pipe or make into a hose clamp or snares for catching food. Pocket Chain saw (get a quality one not that crappy wire one) - Clear limbs out of your path.
There’s something terrifying about seeing a Flesh Simulator video with “PREPARE” as the title card our man knows something’s coming keep up the great videos 😎
Awesome. I'm the only person I know who does this and I'm happy to see someone else recommending it. I also didn't think about having a roll of tape or a ham radio, great additions. Would recommend a rechargable jump starter of adequate size for your vehicle or larger and a change of clothes in a ranger roll.
Obligatory addition to any survival advice: learn how to use everything in your kit. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to pack a serious wound with gauze, start a fire without a lighter, or defend yourself with your freedom weapon, you don't want to have to figure it out on the fly. There are classes for first aid and self defense, and fire starting just takes practice.
EMT scissors are a must, they’re a special kind of scissor that is blunt and they can cut through metal. They will cut seatbelts, clothing, metal zippers etc.
Still have several of these from the “As seen on TV” days that could supposedly cut through a penny. Tried once for the novelty of it & they did but dulled one of the 4 pairs I had. The other 3 are still practically new since I only use for basic stuff
if you keep water bottles in your car make sure you swap it out for fresh bottles once a year, take the old in and drink it so you dont waste it. the plastic bottles of water do have a shelf life and setting them in a hot car can speed that process up. or you can not care because microplastics are inescapable at this point
This seems like good advice, but tbh if you're in a position where you're breaking out the emergency kit, I think water micro plastics might be the least of your worries
I would also include making sure you have some basic recovery gear like a tire patch kit or spare tire and the tools to change it, and maybe a tow strap. Also training is very important especially for first aid so take a stop the bleed class and practice changing a tire if you've never done it
Seeing as I live in an urban area, I have added to my bug out bag the following: - a "key" for turning on the hose spigots outside of apartments/businesses. - a wrench for opening fire hydrants (also doubles as a hammer/defensive tool) - waterproof maps of the city as well as the state (the waterproof pen mentioned in the video can be used on these laminated, folding maps). - a compass - bagged/sealed potable water - iodine - pemican (high calorie/long storage bars) they taste of fruit and cardboard, but they'll keep you going. - bike repair kit (innertubes, patches, wrenches). If everyone is stuck in cars, I plan to take my bicycle along train lines to get to my 'safe' location. - in my Faraday bag I have a small, SSHD and raspberry pi computer loaded with survival manuals, books, movies, and music. (While I am not a fighter, I can cook and figure my contributions can be as an archivist/trader of entertainment). [shrug]
I personally adore the idea of being able to listen to all the music that I own with a tiny low power device that can be recharged with a small solar panel. I don't know why, but most people seem to leave comforts like that out of the apocalyptic fantasies they come up with. Music does so much for my mental wellbeing that it's absolutely worth it. A crap load of PDFs on a device that can be recharged sustainably is a wicked smart idea too. There just isn't enough time to practically memorise everything you could possibly want to know! My particular skills from life are medical, and if it comes down to it, I'm quite happy having a go at anything neccessary for the survival of others once I've done all the research I can. I've got hundreds of thousands of medical PDFs, so if I need to know the actual details of reducing a fractured femur, out comes the orthopedic trauma textbooks! Not gonna lie, having someone who can properly cook is something valued anytime, anywhere... prisons, warzones, camping.. hell yes to knowing a chef as the wheels fall off the world!
This guy just let his ADHD run free and it’s made a beautiful channel. Also, FLESHSIMULATORs car is in perfect working condition. He checks his brakes DAILY
2:12 giving Alcohol to a person in extreme cold is bad, actually. While it will warm up their limbs and make them more comfortable, that comes at the cost of lowering their core temperature which can be fatal.
Excellent idea. I have similar but mine is simply a bag. I may have missed but might I suggest Israeli bandages and Hemostatic gauze (QuikClot) etc. Hyfin Chest Seals and Chest Decompression needle for Pneumothorax...Nasopharyngeal tube with lube...And several Tourniquets.
If you live somewhere where you can get a good amount of snow, highly recommend Cat litter (just get the cheapo stuff, in the largest size you can find), sprinkle that under your tires if you ever get stuck and can't get traction. Saved my ass once. Also good to have in your car somewhere a thing you can scrape your windows with (just general tip tho).
Let that sink in people; Flesh Simulator Channel is advocating an emergency vehicle preparedness kit. This is where we are. Thanks for thinking about us, Dude. ‘Ppreciate chu.
NEVER use tampons to pack wounds. use gauze, or, better yet, use a hemostatic dressing. NEVER pack wounds in the torso, extremeties only. most importantly, get trained. take a first aid course, or a stop the bleed course.
WEMT here, when it comes to initial application, the only spots that you'd really want to pack with gauze would be the functional points (groin, shoulders, neck) where you aren't able to place a tq. There are actually TCCC-approved junctional tourniquets out there, but I wouldn't recommend carrying them. The gold standard for packing gauze would be 3yds of QuikClot or celox gauze. If a tq isnt available, THEN you could pack a non-junctional point on an extremity. Other than that, the only time you'd pack an extremity would be in a tq conversion, which is almost certainly wayyy out of ur level of training. Please god dont go around doing tq conversions, even if you've got a stop the bleed, or first aid, or wilderness first aid, or even wilderness first responder certification.
@@McUsernameFace yeah exactly. Even when I learned it as a WEMT, there was a huuuuge amount of caution and contraindications that were stressed in the instruction
@@McUsernameFace actually, infection isnt really must of a concern in the prehospital environment, even the backcountry environment (I mean in a scenario that someone already needs to get evaced, not just a cut. You kinda need to accept that no matter what you do, its gonna get infected. its much better to train laypersons on stuff like stop the bleed and CPR, because the potential consequences for not knowing what to do in that scenario is a lot worse. But yeah, if you take a WFA or a WFR, theres a lot more stress on prolonged field care, and they get a lot into improvising splints and dressings and preventing infection.
Growing up in coastal South Carolina area. I always grew up having a hurricane bin in the shed. And it always had toys and games for us kids that we were never allowed to have unless a big storm. So it actually gave us kids something to look forward to in a super s***** situation that we never even registered as s*****. Directly because my parents thought of the little stuff. Trauma kit is worth a million but a boo boo kit is typically just as if not more valuable. We went through Hugo and Andrew were the big ones and countless big tropicals

Essential items that are always in my vehicle:
- First aid kit (with extra latex gloves)
- Duct tape (for repairs)
- Rope (for tying down anything to the car)
- Handcuffs (works great with the rope)
- Hacksaw (helps get any felled trees off the road)
- Cleaver/butcher knife (on the road food processing)
- Tire iron (for your tires)
- Hammer (emergency window breaker)
- Ski mask (for when it gets gold)
- Leather gloves (to keep your hands clean)
- Large black trash bags (to clean up road litter)
- Shovel (in case you get stuck in mud/snow)
- Bleach (cleaning materials in case you get dirty)
- Bag of lye (more cleaning materials in case you get dirty)
- Change of clothes (again in case you get dirty)
- Gasoline (y'know, if you run out of gas)
I keep them all secure in a nice black duffel bag in my trunk.
Do you by any chance work for the mob?
hammer is pretty much obsolete, since multitools and even the tire iron can fulfill each of its purposes. anything durable (and/or heavy) can be used as a window breaker, and multitools from any self-respecting brand can very well take a hit or two in an emergency. but if you have room for a hammer or feel comfortable having one just in case, I don't blame you.

The field notes and writing tool are great if you want to write a journal for when the protagonist comes through the area, he can read your journal and find the remnants of your journey while he goes through the area.
It is also good to record events that might require a visit to a courtroom years down the line. We will not remember things as well as when they just happened, and having a way to record your memories is better than forgetting them if you are a witness to something bad.
Wow, the trauma reduction kit for kids is really thoughtful
Something else I have personally noticed and there is no study on this. But most of the women I have met with serious mental illnesses have all had a childhood stuffed animal they loved destroyed or lost in a traumatic way. For a kid it’s a small peice of them .
First time i've seen something like that in similar kit. Says a lot about what kind of person FS is.

For medical stuff, I would advise adding 2-4 CAT tourniquets to your box, and storing way more gauze than you think you'll ever need. Tourniquets are fantastic for arterial bleeds in limbs, very good at preventing shock, and for torso bleeds you'll want a LOT of gauze. There is a surprising volume of blood in the average human.
Gauze is cheap too, best to buy some whenever you're in a store that carries it.
Thanks but if the opportunity presents itself, im just gonna die quite frankly
Yes but no. Tourniquets will be death traps in a true SHTF situation if hospitals are gone.
They are so potentially useful I would even recommend bringing one on a solo hike, or even a walk.
And don't practice using a tourniquet with the same tourniquet you pack away. Have one for training and one for real. The wire gets stretched out the more you use one.
Great tip at 2:18! This helped me restore blood flow to my brain while driving!
Nice username
…. Another reason why fapping at the wheel should generally be avoided.
Medical guy here - first thanks for pointing out the tampon trope BS, but a couple notes & suggestions:
-Tourniquets (preferable CAT, and don’t get a knock-off. They’re $30 and indispensable when you need them)
-don’t put tegaderm on a burn (and they aren’t good as an occlusive dressing either)
-don’t use alcohol to “restore blood flow to extremities” when hypothermic, or really ever. Your body is shunting blood for a reason and if you fight that you’ll be in a worse spot.
-100 proof (50%) alcohol won’t burn, and isn’t really sufficient for fire starting. You want about 70%, and everclear isn’t good because that high of an alcohol content will evaporate before really doing any disinfecting.
-Gloves are a good call
-get roller gauze, it’s good for packing wounds, wrapping extremities, etc. Just very versatile and useful.
-consider a pocket mask for rescue breathing. If you aren’t comfortable with doing that, that’s fine, but the most important part of CPR is compressions so please don’t withhold those just because you don’t want to do rescue breaths
One really important thing is those choking relief masks. They are like 20 dollars and come with two pieces one to fit adult mouth and one child. Can easily save a life as choking is a common thing.
I am absolutely torn between this(the video) being satire and serious. There is legit good advice, fucking TERRIBLE advice (alcohol for blood flow to extremeties) and a bunch of advice that sounds good until you look at it closely (tampons). I'm... Impressed.
You're clearly not a medical guy. If you are bleeding badly enough to need a tourniquet, and an ambulance is not there within ten minutes, you're dead anyway. If you aren't bleeding badly enough to need a tourniquet and you use it anyway, you could lose a limb, or damage it permanently. Anyone watching this video, and taking the advice, doesn't know how to use a tourniquet. Get real
@@DrPeculiar312 lol bro that’s exactly why having a tourniquet is important for a kit like that. Fun fact: properly applied tourniquet = bleeding stops = time for professional help.
Also 10 minutes is very generous for an arterial bleed that needs a TQ.
Also also, tourniquets can be safely applied and left on for hours or longer with no long-term damage. gtfo with your 1990’s medical thinking
@@grantgalvin9854 lol may as well add some nitro and asprin for anyone that may get a heart attack. And taurine for anyone that may have a stroke.
This is an excellent list. I shall leave a friendly reminder to everyone here in the comments that emergency situations and survival skills are the difference between life and death when dealing with situations that are not only possible, but literally do happen unexpectedly, accidentally, and seemingly at random. Lists such as these, as well as related skill sets, really might save your life (or someone else’s). It can also decrease the severity of suffering that you or someone else might experience. If you’ve never been stranded, slept in a car, slept outside, or administered first aid, doesn’t mean that you’re not going to have to do so going forward. Failure to plan is equivalent to planning to fail. I will be sharing this video with friends and family. People these days don’t seem to enjoy reading as much as someone like myself, so perhaps the video format will make this topic more accessible for certain people.
And for god's sake, go camping once or twice and practice a few basic skills so you aren't completely clueless if you find yourself in a survival situation.
You don't have to become Bear Grylls but if you know how to make a shelter out of a tarp and you have some idea on how to make a fire then if you are ever in a survival situation you're going to be in a much better position to last a while out there.

I used to travel a lot in the mountains for work. I used to have a kit like this in my car and inspected monthly. It's important to realize that what goes in the kit stays in the kit and never leaves the kit. Also, it's Glock. Glock made knives before guns and their knives are good and also cheap. If you buy one, do not get the 78 like he has. Get the 81 since it is a survival knife and has a saw back and will be more useful in a survival situation.
The 81 is noticeably lighter than the 78 as well, while having all the great qualities of the 78
Also Mora knives are sub-$10 carbon steel knives that can be sparked to create fire.
Cheapest thing you could use dependently.
That saw ain't worth shit, he made right decision. Just get foldable saw if you want one, even cheap ones usually work pretty well.
@dm_9428 it could be useful for creating notches in hard wood. Better to just pack a separate folding saw though.
@@lightgrove7751 Mora is a good choice for field knife.
Recently my truck was broken into and mt "Oh shit road side kit" was stolen. I've used this video to rebuild it. I've bought some steel cables and padlocks and locked it to a seat in my truck. Honestly this is one of the best videos I've come across for car/truck kits.
The thief is now more prepared for emergencies I guess.
@@AdamantLightLP I'm mostly pissed that the little bag that held the cables for my emergency battery jumper were stolen. So now I bought another and have two of em with 1 set of cables.
EMT here. Add tourniquets, more gauze than you would ever think you need, and a needle decompression kit. While chest seals are good at not letting other stuff in, they are not particularly good at letting pressure out of the pleural space, needle decompression is a necessity if you collapse a lung or have a tension pneumothorax. Learn how to use them though because you CAN and WILL do it wrong if you just go poking around with one.
yeah I think for a layperson without at least EMT or high-level EMR, needle decomp might be a no-go. Particularly in an austere setting without a prehospital service's level of monitoring equipment. Im a WEMT and we tend to shy away from it
@@arlogleich6174 I tend to agree, but if I’m in the mountains with a collapsed lung, that doesn’t bode well for a chance at survival. Most anyone can learn needle decomp on it’s own, and if it gives you a chance at survival better than without it I’d like to have the option available. I’d like to reiterate that I’m not just suggesting people shove needles randomly in their chest, you need to know how and when to use it.
@@d2solutions185 peopling shoving needing randomly into chests is what the entire profession of acupuncture is built on, thank you very much. But yeah I definitely see what you're saying, ultimately i think it probably comes down to evac times and level of training. I'm just wary because Ive responded to calls where very stupid people have tried to improvise needle decomps or even crics on patients simply because they saw it on PrepMedic.
In 1995 I was in a serious car crash. I was 4 years old and sitting in the front seat. My chief memories are the bright gold flash after impact and the airbag hitting me in the face, and then being very cold and scared while waiting for emergency services to arrive. I begged and begged for a blanket, and only received one of those emergency space blankets, which I disdainfully described as a tarp. However, the firemen gave me a teddy bear, which became the focus for the rest of the night. It definitely, definitely helped. A blanket really would have, too.
What's the cutoff age on average for kiddos riding shotgun and not in a car seat? Seems like 4 is cutting it super close at best, or too young at worst
@@JK-gm6kk there weren't laws about that sort of thing back then, and no one really thought about it.
Iirc they passed laws prohibiting children from the front seat later that year or the year after. They used an image on the news of a little girl who had a burn over one entire side of her face from the airbag. I had had that too, exactly like it in location, but not as severe. But it stuck with me due to how similar it was to my own injury.

Even not fearing some form of societal collapse or apocalyptic scenario, this is fantastic advice as someone from the Gulf region of Florida.

Regarding the flashlight and headlamp, I highly recommend keeping them without batteries, and keeping a stock of new batteries for them alongside. Nearly every year when I break out my camping stuff one of my half-dozen battery powered light devices has had a battery corrode/leak inside.
Just to add to this, those shake to charge flashlights tend to blow
@@MiddlePath007and on the contrary, crank stuff does work well. It takes effort, works more consistently, lasts longer, and is easier to repair.
@@bbbbbbb51 I didn't call out crank to charge. I called out shake to charge flashlights _tending_ to blow. It's not because of the shaking. It's because they are frequently cheap Chinese boards with inadequate capacitors used to store the charge. The crank up systems are more complicated, requiring more moving parts, a core with multiple magnets equally spaced, and gears capable of holding up to rigorous use. Therefore, they tend to be more expensive than a bar magnet in a tube with willy nilly windings found in a shake flashlight. So, if there is a cheap route to make something resembling something reliable, the minimum effort and quality will be put into the cheap product, so while the cost for the consumer may be half that of a reliable product, the cost to manufacture could end up being less than a tenth the price, leading to cheap crap flooding the market.
The kit for the kids is really sweet and thoughtfull, reminds me of the teddy bears the police have in their vehicles for the same reason.
Lot of good items on this video.
A few alterations I would make:
1 premade first aid kits are a total scam, and you can always make a better one for less. Also, definitely get blood clotting agent.
2 An emergency beacon costs a lot less money than a sat phone. You can't talk through it, but you will be rescued if you turn it on.
3 Highly recommend a road flare for light, heat, and if it's an extreme emergency, a road flare can start a fire using rotten wood in pouring rain
4 A nice water filter is very small, and lightweight, and often better than tablets or a jug.
5 Coast guard rations, or similar ration bars are very calorie dense and almost infinitely shelf stable.

Extra winter jacket, tin with a full roll of toilet paper soaked in isopropyl alcohol (it can burn for longer than 24 hours with a decently big flame and its quite easy to snuff out with the tin lid), food and insulated water container at least a half gallon big when I'm crossing through Wyoming or Montana in the winter. And that's on top of all the stuff he's already mentioned in this video.
@bickyboo7789 that isopropyl will not last 24 hours, I recommend you soak that in a mix of 70%parifin 15% bbq starter fluid and 15% cooking oil (used oil is perfectly fine). Pure parrifin is too hard to get the wick detached from the roll, adding the other oils will soften the material to allow a little chunk of paper to be pulled up for an easy way to start the fire.
this was one of the first things my dad told me when I got my first car! I've made it a habit to tell my friends (especially girl friends, we all have 8 billion blankets lying around) to put at least one and an old (preferably oversized) winter coat in the trunk. ya never know when the shitbox (or even brand new car) will decide to give out
I recently broke down in between 2 towns in a spot that was out of the way but not super remote. Because it was 10pm on the night before a holiday, the 3 of the 4 wrecker companies within sane distance were either closed or had 6-8 hour wait times. We were suddenly faced with the very real prospect of spending the night in the desert in a van with a dead electrical system and only what we had with us. Fortunately, we like to road trip in comfort, so what we had with us was more than sufficient, plus we did manage to find a wrecker that worked us in to the schedule, but it really highlighted how quickly a vehicular situation can go pear shaped, even in a fairly normal circumstance.

Global sat phone is key. Even an emergency beacon that doesn't have a subscription beats the crap out of being stuck under your bike in the woods.
Or just a brick phone that you can call 911 with. Won't work if you aren't near a cell tower but if you are, you can call 911. I used to keep one in a water proof box when kayaking.
Probably shouldn’t be broadcasting your where abouts that’s assuming you don’t willingly get on the bus or you somehow survive vaporizing
1200 A YEAR EVERY YEAR ‽
A Personal Locator Beacon is also useful. No subscription, but all it does is ping a satellite constellation saying "I need help" and relevant search and rescue teams are dispatched. You can get old ones used for
7:37 actually good advice. I witnessed a car crash and the kids weren't hurt but very scared. That is really good advice along with the rest of the video.
Highly recommend everyone takes a Stop the Bleed course too.
In addition to dispelling the tampon for GSW myth, it's super helpful to practice with TQs and real would packing.
Honestly if its avaliable to you, a Wilderness First Aid (16h) or Wilderness First Responder (80h) course are a great investment
That thermal blanket predator thing- Consider it like “parrying a thermal sweep” unless you have a sizable gap of air ,like covering a tent , otherwise you’ve got like 8-10 minutes till the air under the blanket is sizably different than surroundings.

mini new testament bible, something to read and even more important if you don't already know Jesus and your day is lookin grim. the problem of eternal life has already been solved people.
It's a good list but I would make a few minor corrections/suggestions:
For waterproof notebook, if the manufacturer makes you buy their pen, buy it. Regular pen ink WILL smear when wet. Their ink will soak into the paper correctly. Yes, the pens are expensive.
Road flares. Get them. The most common need for an emergency kit is a car accident. A flare is visible more easily than a reflective triangle at night. They're even better if you have a triangle AND flares.
For medical supplies, only use stuff you have experience or training using. If you do not know how to apply a tourniquet, do not use it. If you apply one, do not undo it after application. If you do not know how to treat a hole, have the victim apply pressure and push as hard as they can without stopping until help arrives.
Pointy thing is good, but a little unwieldy. I would suggest either a hatchet or folding pointy thing.
Have asprin in case of heart attack, have them chew a tablet as directed. DO NOT give them Tylenol.
Electric blood pressure machines are super cheap and small. Extremely helpful info you can give to paramedics in case of emergency.
E-tool is also a good backup pointy thing. More useful as a pointy thing and "Oh, hey, you also have a collapsible shovel now." Having a knife too isn't bad; my EDC is pretty solid, not too big, and has a window breaker in the grip, but if I need a pointy thing I'd like the pointy end to be as far from me as can be when I use it.
A Hi Vis Jacket is one item I swear by because it might have saved my life.
When your car breaks down at night or you get into a crash constantly worrying if the people driving up can even see you is an annoying added stress to a already high stress situation.
You can get them online for about $10 and almost always can fit in any emergency pack.
If you're worried about space they make a harness that's just the 2 inch high vis reflective with the 0.5 inch lime border
Recently managed to snag a nice new one at a yard sale for a buck. Only bought it cuz I thought it looked potentially stylish, good to know it might be a life saver too

@@Heimtreats brother, several items specifically mention being useful for being seen
I have a few suggestions. Instead of a Bic, use a Clipper, you can take out the sparker and use it freely if the gas tank gets crushed, plus they're so much easier to use, fantastic lighters. Tourniquets, ideally with a metal windlass, not only for stopping bleeding, but also for binding things together. I personally would rather have a flare gun, they're more stable than some cheap bottle rockets, plus, you can use the shells in a shotgun without a choke, ideally use a single shot. Zip ties, bind things together good. Trash, Ziploc, and whatever other kind of bag you may want, always handy. A few dust masks, ideally something like N95s in case of, anything really. You might think I'd recommend a gas mask given my profile picture, but that's way too bulky to be practical. A United States Carbine, caliber .30, M1.
I was also thinking that a separate video could be done with all of the different pieces and parts of the lighter. I have a bunch of screenshots from a comment section where there's like over a dozen you can still do with a busted empty lighter.
Also knife is good for scraping off wet bark to get to dry wood underneath. Works best when it stops raining, of course
@@lastvestigesOh there are still loads of things you can do with an empty Bic for sure, but many of those things can be done with a Clipper too.
I didn't mention a knife in additional things because Flesh Simulator already did, but honestly a knife should just be part of your EDC anyway. What type of knife you should carry is HIGHLY dependent on your local laws (if you're State side, check even your county laws, those can sometimes be more strict than State laws), personal preference, the sort of job you do, ect. Personally, at a minimum I carry 2, the Cold Steel SR1 Lite because it's probably the toughest folder on the market, and the commercial version of the Victorinox Swiss Army issued knife. Sometimes I'll carry a small utility blade as well when I'm at work in case I have to deal with a bunch of packages.
Water wise, a case and a virus-level small filter pump is perhaps overkill, but also very handy for regular things like "Oh I'd like a drink but all there is around is this ditch."
Lifestraw.
@@Czarro672I'd argue that. You're probably going to get your feet wet using it in a survival situation, that's a no no. You can also fill a bottle/pot with a filter pump without the spit transfer too.
I wouldnt say overkill at all. Theyre small and cost 50 bucks or less
@@Czarro672life straw is a grift please dont buy those. They are not even close to a real filter, and they even say so on their packaging...
All my go-bags have at least 2 types of MakeWaterDrinky things.
I would toss in a few narcan just in case. I'm in an area where OD's are fairly low, but figured it would be a good addition. Thanks for the video.
Deep reach pencils are used for transfering hole locations from one part to another, can be used along with cardboard to make a makeshift gasket but you would have to be screwed for that.
Also car stuff: Jumper cables, some way to inflate tires, a folding shovel and gloves or mittens if you live in a cold place, an ice scraper for your windows, bottled water either to drink or for your radiator.
i grew up in the north and its common for every kid to receive a go bag for their car as a present when they get their driver's license. mine has a full emergency kit which includes duct tape, grip gloves, snatch rope, road markers, tire inflator, jumper cables, full first aid kit that has everything (including sutures), multiple flashlights (including one that runs from the car battery), and some other goodies. that all goes in a case that velcros to the trunk liner so it doesn't flop around. then my duffle bag has two jackets, two MREs, a bunch of water (about two gallons), a few books, a bunch of paracord, fire starting stuff, spare tire studs and lugs (yes i have snapped a stud before), a rubber mallet, a bunch of wire, waterproof picnic blanket, and condoms. the condoms are great for transporting water and also great for banging in the woods.
jesus christ bud u might wanna throw out those sutures. Im a WEMT and even I stay away from using sutures in the prehospital environment. Most doctors do too. Grap some surgical glue or wound zips instead
@@arlogleich6174 oh? i have only ever done sutures on a dog before (we took him to the vet after to make sure he didn't get an infection), and it was easier than i expected. using the ones in my field kit would be an absolute last resort for a person and not an animal, but i see your point with surgical glue. i actually do have some, but i tend to not use it because in my experience it will either fail or it will not breathe like its supposed to and the wound will fill with goo and create a bubble like a blister that eventually ruptures. i do have steri strips in my kit, but i've also seen those just bust open. you have a point about the glue being much cleaner and safer than the sutures though. either way, there is super glue in my kit for puncture wounds. it seems like the most times i've had a heavy bleeding wound it has been a puncture that can't be sewn closed anyway.
to be clear, i'd never recommend anyone ever do sutures on themselves or someone else to "treat" a wound. first aid is about staying alive until you get to the hospital, not doing hospital procedures in the field (that's what i was told over and over lol).
I'd recommend also keeping the basics of a car recovery kit in the car, I've needed to use these far more often than bandaids with the janky vehicles I've driven:
Emergency triangle, jack, wheel tools, jumper leads, patch kit, tyre pump. TWO pliers (very hard to twist wire with one), cable ties, spanner kit, old blanket, tow rope.... AND A freaking SPARE WHEEL WHY DO PEOPLE NOT HAVE THIS
When Flesh Simulator is giving survival tips, there's something brewing in the background.
Great advice! Bleedstop powder, tourniquets, large bandages, towels, duct tape, are good too. To go with the ferro rod, add vasoline smeared toilet paper sealed in multiple watertight sandwich bags, for fire starting. Small metal pot. Cordage.
I'd shy away from bleedstop powder, or any kind of hemostatic powder in general. Just pack the wound or use a tq, its been shown to be a lot better
This is his way of telling us they’re after him and he’s gotta run.
No he’s saying shtf soon
Careful with the caffeinated items in a big out or emergency kit caffeine is a diuretic.
Also you can use ham radios during emergency situations and won’t be fined for it. If you do get a portable ham radio I highly recommend getting an extended antenna.
For flashlights I recommend Milwaukees double A light bars. Super bright has a magnetic back and it takes just 2 AA batteries.
Sharpies are also always a smart move.
And do keep tablets in the case. One is none and two is one. Redundant measures when in an emergency is important.
I think he's bringing the licensing thing up so people can practice with their tools ahead of time; you don't want the first time you use your radio to be a life or death situation.
@@AJadedLizard that’s fair but also people might hesitate to use it if they think that they will be in trouble for using it.
Obviously there’s a difference between a flat tire and someone dying.
But you can use a bofang in both cb and ham settings so if you want to practice with it just switch it the cb channels and practice with a buddy there.
WEMT here, first and one of the best things you can do medical-wise, take a course! First aid/stop the bleed is alright, but if you really want to be prepared to render aid in an austere environment, take a Wilderness First Aid (16h) or a Wilderness First Responder (80h).
One thing that I always pack in my first aid kits when I'm out in the mountains, is hemostatic dressings. When you have a puncture wound in any arterial region, gauss won't cut it and a tourniquet either can't be used or would cause further issues. Depending on the dressing used they can ONLY be removed surgically, but they will stop you from bleeding out, particularly if you need to be transported to get proper medical attention. You'll find them everywhere in warzones, and for good reason - and in the past decade they've started to migrate into the civilian world more. I used them overseas, and I've used them as a paramedic. You might slightly annoy the doctor seeing you, but you also won't have a horribly contaminated wound.
Also ; Sat phones can be found used for the price of a couple pizzas, particularly from government auctions. There's little reason not to get one if you're going somewhere out of service.
but hemostatic dressings ARE gauze. Also, idk what you're talking about that "puncture wound in any arterial region, gauss won't cut it and a tourniquet either can't be used". Bro tourniquets should ALWAYS be the go-to after digital pressure on the wound isnt enough. The only use for wound packing is when a tourniquet isnt available or the wound is in a junctional area. bro im only a WEMT and i know that
This is a good car kit, and looks a lot like mine. May I suggest: this kit is light on the ability to work on the car. Causing yourself to not be stranded anymore is better than many items you could use in case of being stranded. A set of open end wrenches or, if you must, a couple crescent wrenches, and a multi-size wrench like a dogbone or "lazy"/"self-tightening" wrench could allow you to, for example, get that loose ground terminal clamp fastened back onto your battery. The multi tool screwdrivers may be sufficient, but being able to work bolts and nuts has saved me from being stranded many times (and remember you often need to operate both sides of the bolt/nut). Also, a paper map of your region and the region you're taking a road trip to is very low cost and takes up very little space. A 12v tire inflator has also saved me many times from being stranded (even if you have a spare, the odds that it's fully inflated are low, and your "flat" tire may well hold air for 10-20 miles without needing to be changed). Tire patch kits are very cheap and couldn't hurt, either. Finally, I didn't see cash in there. Being able to buy gas if something goes wrong with your credit card, or buy a snack for the kids if you forget your wallet, etc., is a basic need for a car IMO.
Thanks for putting this information out. It is important to always be ready
As a Disaster Management professional this is extremely good advice and does something we in the professional setting always struggle with; it's approachable AND entertaining for complete novices that don't know anything about emergency preparedness. Thank you so much for making this video. Also, excellent idea with the stuffy. First Responders have always used them, but I'm going to add one to my personal kit today.
Further knife advice: in a knife fight, usually even the winner bleeds out. If you depend on a knife for self defence...rethink your life choices.
Plus, you really think you're just gonna be able to stab a guy to death, even in a survival situation? It's maybe the most brutal thing you can do to someone unless you're getting morbidly creative, and I can't see it being as easy as everyone assumes it will be, especially if you're a regular non-stabby person.
You're *GONNA* watch someone bleed out horribly and watch their soul creep out slowly, maybe while you are also dying. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!
😂
Thats why God invented the Glock
@@Bobbleheads56 1. The Glock sucks, it's definitely not a gun designed by a deity
2. The Lord's caliber is .45 ACP, not 9mm (I know there's Glocks in .45, but most people mean the wonder 9's when they mention a Glock)
3. The Patron Saint of Firearms is not Gaston Glock, it's Moses Browning. We'll see if militaries are still using guns designed by Glock in 50~60 years and can reassess then, but Browning's got >100 year old guns that are not only still in service, but are well liked, prolific, and to my knowledge, still not slated for replacement.
I just grew a thicker beard reading this. @@DieuDeMort
A note about the Baofeng. You are allowed to use HAM radios without a license in the case of actual emergency, and you won't get in trouble. It's why they are so popular among preppers and people without a license. Pray you don't, but the only time you would really ever need to use one is likely in an emergency anyway.
One of the greatest YT content creators to emerge in this timeline. By far.
The mylar thermal blankets also act as great sunshades in the heat and their reflectivity is great for visual rescue.
The only thing I’d add is 2 or 3 TQs, some 550 cord, a signaling mirror, compass, and a couple of road flares.
I think a gun and a couple spare mags goes without saying as well as recovery equipment if you’re in a 4x4.
the GG Allin line had me dead lol
Additional you should carry OUTSIDE of your case. A regular, waterproof tarp the size of your windshield. 550 or better paracord, and larger diamond braid rope. (and a tourniquet or 7 inside, as others have already mentioned. Just make sure you get the training for them too or they're just fancy toggles)
My Gramps (was a firefighter and a mechanic) taught me this one for when you have snow expected and might need to make a quick getaway in the middle of it. Tarp goes over the windshield at night, if you need to go NOW you just pull the tarp off and you have a clear windshield without having to scrape ice off or clear snow. Rough fold and stow.
Can also be used as a windbreak or a shelter, all the normal tarp things.
Rope is for tyeing down, can be made a tourniquet, and other normal rope things.
If you have lost a lot of blood, it does not matter how hot the environment is. Keep the thermal blankets.
Blankets and toys are a nice touch. I had no idea.
I just bought a car last week. They tried to sell me a first aid kit but i already have a kit with basically all the stuff you’ve got in yours. I should get a pelican case though, that’s a good idea. Been considering getting a stomp kit but honestly that’s just overkill and you don’t really want that stuff just baking in your trunk all day anyway.
Also the gerber otf pliers multitool is my edc. Excellent tool.
I would add a camping hatchet, because you may not be wanting to go camping, but those have a side that's a hammer and the other is a small axe, plus it's not rare that they come with a nail puller, and you know, that's always neat... And they are also, "theoretically", effective against zombies.
I would keep that and an E-tool in my car, for, uh, _extenuating circumstances._
this! Hatchets are such a great multitool. much more rugged too!
You can also split small pieces of wood with the claw of a common construction hammer. Either one can do both in a pinch, and they're both solid options for crackheads. Straight-claw hammer if you're more worried about fixing things, axe if you're more worried about getting lost, I guess.
Thermal Blankets are also good for making Solar Stills and solar ovens if you have some kind of clear plastic sheet to go with them.
If you want a solar still, dig a hole and then dig a trench around that hole. Cover said holes with thermal blanket (or just dig one hole and put a bucket, or some other container in the middle, but this will still work if you dont have one.) Then take the plastic sheet and dangle it over the hole, making sure the part that hangs the lowest is over the hole/bucket. Fill the covered trench with water, and bing bang boom, as the water evaporates and condenses you have clean water in the middle container.
For a solar over, just dig 1 hole, line it with the thermal blanket, and cover that with the plastic blanket pulled taught.
Do note, both of these are somewhat stopgap measures if you can't make fire. Fire will do both Water Purification and Cooking at a much more accelerated rate than their solar counterparts, plus has some added benefits like repeling bugs and scaring many preadators.
But if you are being followed by hostiles, or it is too wet to start a fire, the sun may be your best option.
Also, dont drink distilled water for extended periods of time if possible. It is actually 100% pure, and lacks any of the minerals normal water has that are needed for survival. But, a few nutrient deffecincies will be a lot.less deadly than dying of thirst.
The vacuumed pokémon plushies and blanket is making my anxiety flare up real bad...
Also serves as a reminder for my aripiprazole renewal
Would I be right in guessing a little you needed the blanket and plush at one point?
Doctor check-up is scheduled
My car crash delusion was in fact imaginary
The Flesh Sim content is great, but I gotta anchor myself to my immediate reality
Hi, good stuff, but alcohol is is vasoconstrictor. While it may make you feel warmer in the cold, it's actually suppressing your circulation. Still, tons of uses for sanitizing equipment or even trading with folks, so good idea to carry some.
I have a ridiculous amount of candy and comfort stuff for the kids. Didn't think to vacuum seal those too. And I love using that vacuum sealer. Only rec would be a LOT more calories. Maybe a laminated local map.
Great stuff
Personally I recommend an army folding shovel and small compressor for flat tires but the shovel is heavy and doesn’t see much use
2:13 FYI, when it comes to alcohol as an antiseptic 70% is marginally better than 90%. The way that alcohol permeates a cell membrane requires added water to work more effectively for some bacteria.
Definitely a good kit, I’d add a few things like several tourniquets, ( make sure you have 1 for everyone in your family and that if you have small kids that you get some that will work on them) a small jump box, a portable phone charger (because most people aren’t checking/swapping out batteries, charge cords for all your electronics, ( you may want to play angry birds while waiting to be saved) spare meds if you’re someone who needs them to live, I’d swap bottle rockets for Roman candles if you can because they’re easier to see and aim, a small gas can and a good pair of walking shoes because you don’t want to have to hike up the side of a hill in flip flops and last a map and compass incase you have no service.
3:01 was a legendary refrence
Glad someone else thought so too
Sometimes you just gotta fling poo 🤷♂️
Regarding the radio: As a non-licensed user, you can still program channels and listen into whatever traffic you wish as long as you are not transmitting. There are a lot of channels such as NOAA weather stations and local HAM stations that participate in Ametuer Radio Emergency Services (ARES) programs that someone may want to have handy. A lot of local municipalities also have provisions for emergency radio use. In addition, knowing how to transmit is still useful, as FCC specifically exempts non-licensed use in the case of emergency. That being said, the HAM tests cover a ton of extremely useful information and I highly recommend that interested parties put some research in even if they do no intend to get licensed.
When Flesh Simulator drops emergency preparedness tips, it's concerning.
Water in those Aluminum Bottles. I have not had those burst open when frozen.
Clear Shower Curtain - It's $10 and can use it to patch a busted out window or use it for water collection.
Paracord - You always need string. Cut string get many small string inside.
Picture hanging wire/safety wire - Use it to tie up exhaust pipe or make into a hose clamp or snares for catching food.
Pocket Chain saw (get a quality one not that crappy wire one) - Clear limbs out of your path.
There’s something terrifying about seeing a Flesh Simulator video with “PREPARE” as the title card our man knows something’s coming keep up the great videos 😎
Awesome. I'm the only person I know who does this and I'm happy to see someone else recommending it. I also didn't think about having a roll of tape or a ham radio, great additions. Would recommend a rechargable jump starter of adequate size for your vehicle or larger and a change of clothes in a ranger roll.
Those caffeine goops @ 2:34 expire and WILL make you sick. Make sure to replace them yearly.
Obligatory addition to any survival advice: learn how to use everything in your kit. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to pack a serious wound with gauze, start a fire without a lighter, or defend yourself with your freedom weapon, you don't want to have to figure it out on the fly. There are classes for first aid and self defense, and fire starting just takes practice.
EMT scissors are a must, they’re a special kind of scissor that is blunt and they can cut through metal. They will cut seatbelts, clothing, metal zippers etc.
But then you can't stab. Is being able to run with them really worth the tradeoff?
Still have several of these from the “As seen on TV” days that could supposedly cut through a penny. Tried once for the novelty of it & they did but dulled one of the 4 pairs I had. The other 3 are still practically new since I only use for basic stuff
A good basic first aid kit should have the disposable version of these days, I don't think I'd want a kit that doesn't include them.
dude wtf kind of trauma shears do you have that you're cutting through metal? im a WEMT and if i tried that, I'd be out one pair of trauma sheers
It takes a big man to admit that he fell for the tampon psyop. It feels like it should be right, but isn't. I appreciate the honesty.
if you keep water bottles in your car make sure you swap it out for fresh bottles once a year, take the old in and drink it so you dont waste it. the plastic bottles of water do have a shelf life and setting them in a hot car can speed that process up. or you can not care because microplastics are inescapable at this point
This seems like good advice, but tbh if you're in a position where you're breaking out the emergency kit, I think water micro plastics might be the least of your worries
throughout this video I couldn't help but imagine a stranger from tinder looking on in stunned silence and horror from across the table
also you can 100% legally transmit on HAM bands in the case of emergency
The advice about buying two multi-tools is great, because I know I'd do exactly as you described if I was to only buy one.
thanks for the advice my favourite paranoid schizophrenic
I would also include making sure you have some basic recovery gear like a tire patch kit or spare tire and the tools to change it, and maybe a tow strap. Also training is very important especially for first aid so take a stop the bleed class and practice changing a tire if you've never done it
Seeing as I live in an urban area, I have added to my bug out bag the following:
- a "key" for turning on the hose spigots outside of apartments/businesses.
- a wrench for opening fire hydrants (also doubles as a hammer/defensive tool)
- waterproof maps of the city as well as the state (the waterproof pen mentioned in the video can be used on these laminated, folding maps).
- a compass
- bagged/sealed potable water
- iodine
- pemican (high calorie/long storage bars) they taste of fruit and cardboard, but they'll keep you going.
- bike repair kit (innertubes, patches, wrenches). If everyone is stuck in cars, I plan to take my bicycle along train lines to get to my 'safe' location.
- in my Faraday bag I have a small, SSHD and raspberry pi computer loaded with survival manuals, books, movies, and music. (While I am not a fighter, I can cook and figure my contributions can be as an archivist/trader of entertainment). [shrug]
I hadn't thought of the raspberry pi but that's clever; I'd grab some topo maps too if you don't already have them.
@@AJadedLizard Great thinking. I'll add them!
I personally adore the idea of being able to listen to all the music that I own with a tiny low power device that can be recharged with a small solar panel. I don't know why, but most people seem to leave comforts like that out of the apocalyptic fantasies they come up with. Music does so much for my mental wellbeing that it's absolutely worth it. A crap load of PDFs on a device that can be recharged sustainably is a wicked smart idea too. There just isn't enough time to practically memorise everything you could possibly want to know! My particular skills from life are medical, and if it comes down to it, I'm quite happy having a go at anything neccessary for the survival of others once I've done all the research I can. I've got hundreds of thousands of medical PDFs, so if I need to know the actual details of reducing a fractured femur, out comes the orthopedic trauma textbooks! Not gonna lie, having someone who can properly cook is something valued anytime, anywhere... prisons, warzones, camping.. hell yes to knowing a chef as the wheels fall off the world!
This guy just let his ADHD run free and it’s made a beautiful channel.

One super helpful thing that takes up as minimal space is spool of safety wire. Very handy in a pinch
2:12 giving Alcohol to a person in extreme cold is bad, actually. While it will warm up their limbs and make them more comfortable, that comes at the cost of lowering their core temperature which can be fatal.
Bottle rockets are illegal in the uk under “erratic flight” legislation you can get handheld smoke and rocket flares from boat shops though

Excellent idea. I have similar but mine is simply a bag.

Hyfin Chest Seals and Chest Decompression needle for Pneumothorax...Nasopharyngeal tube with lube...And several Tourniquets.
wooo mega early
no creepy music or anything is freaking me out -- well played
If you live somewhere where you can get a good amount of snow, highly recommend Cat litter (just get the cheapo stuff, in the largest size you can find), sprinkle that under your tires if you ever get stuck and can't get traction. Saved my ass once. Also good to have in your car somewhere a thing you can scrape your windows with (just general tip tho).
The flesh sim concerned citizen arc doesnt make me feel very safe lmao (informative tho)
Let that sink in people; Flesh Simulator Channel is advocating an emergency vehicle preparedness kit. This is where we are. Thanks for thinking about us, Dude. ‘Ppreciate chu.
NEVER use tampons to pack wounds. use gauze, or, better yet, use a hemostatic dressing. NEVER pack wounds in the torso, extremeties only.
most importantly, get trained. take a first aid course, or a stop the bleed course.
Huh literally just watched Salt with Angelina Jolie where she did just that lol
@@jamessquire5472 did what, use a tampon to pack a wound?
WEMT here, when it comes to initial application, the only spots that you'd really want to pack with gauze would be the functional points (groin, shoulders, neck) where you aren't able to place a tq. There are actually TCCC-approved junctional tourniquets out there, but I wouldn't recommend carrying them. The gold standard for packing gauze would be 3yds of QuikClot or celox gauze. If a tq isnt available, THEN you could pack a non-junctional point on an extremity. Other than that, the only time you'd pack an extremity would be in a tq conversion, which is almost certainly wayyy out of ur level of training. Please god dont go around doing tq conversions, even if you've got a stop the bleed, or first aid, or wilderness first aid, or even wilderness first responder certification.
@@McUsernameFace yeah exactly. Even when I learned it as a WEMT, there was a huuuuge amount of caution and contraindications that were stressed in the instruction
@@McUsernameFace actually, infection isnt really must of a concern in the prehospital environment, even the backcountry environment (I mean in a scenario that someone already needs to get evaced, not just a cut. You kinda need to accept that no matter what you do, its gonna get infected. its much better to train laypersons on stuff like stop the bleed and CPR, because the potential consequences for not knowing what to do in that scenario is a lot worse. But yeah, if you take a WFA or a WFR, theres a lot more stress on prolonged field care, and they get a lot into improvising splints and dressings and preventing infection.
Growing up in coastal South Carolina area. I always grew up having a hurricane bin in the shed. And it always had toys and games for us kids that we were never allowed to have unless a big storm. So it actually gave us kids something to look forward to in a super s***** situation that we never even registered as s*****. Directly because my parents thought of the little stuff. Trauma kit is worth a million but a boo boo kit is typically just as if not more valuable. We went through Hugo and Andrew were the big ones and countless big tropicals
