Hey Cody, for that tourniquet, you want to undo that white velcro with the time and attach it to one side, so you don't have to mess with that when applying to yourself one-handed and can twist the windlass rod.
That's how I carry them because it's the right way to carry them. Nice addition to the video.
thats a fake cat tourniquet.
Excellent! I worked for a small company that cut wood for both logs and fire wood with both men and machinery. i worked on foot with chain saw, there was about 10 of us on foot and not one of the other men carried anything for first aid/ self aid. Being a paramedic by trade i always made sure to carry my own kit + more to care for others. So glad to see that you carry your own kit! Impressed!
Joel
Good kit. I would add a couple of QuickClot Combat Gauze pouches.
Good advice for those of us who have woodshops as well.
True!
“
Good advice. I made my living with a saw for a while a LONG time ago and have a scar on my thigh as a result. Never carried a med kit but I do now. I have a nice kit in all my vehicles and a fire extinguisher too. I now carry a small kit like the one you showed when I run a saw now and my son said he felt that it was good enough if it was just in the truck. I told him that it doesn't matter where you keep the kit. If you need it, you'll have the rest of your life to get to it.
I have the cat tourniquet in one kit but prefer the rats tourniquet so I have a few of those. Great message Cody.
I think you have a nock off Chinese CAT tourniquet
It is. The "Time" is too large to be a NAR CAT
Belts from China are still belts too, it's to sench your arm from blood flow, it's not for lifting motors from cars. It will do the job for half the price of greedy north American companies.
Jeremiah Johnson not at all. The counterfeits are made with cheaper, non US military standard materials.
Yea I have one Chinese and I tested it, tough af
Jeremiah Johnson No those fakes are known to fail...and the windlass can break off. Never trust something as important as that to a counterfit.
Great vid & very sound advise. I always have a "blowout" kit close at hand when dealing with any sharps. Double thumbs up Cody.
Cody. I'm so glad to see this here. I'm sure you will bring this essential info to many who have never been exposed to it. I will add my voice of encouragement for you to add some hemostatics like Combat Gauze to your 511 sized kit. The gauze packets take up virtually no space, weigh little to nothing and yet add a powerful layer of hemorrhage control by acting mechanically and chemically.
Thank you for this tip. I carried all these items in my truck. I ordered this kit to hang on my web belt. One item for your information is the SAM tourniquet does not fit in the outside pocket. I was able to fit it in the inside. Inside is still closer than the truck. Thanks.
Hey Wranglestar that looks like a counterfeit CAT.
Search and watch this less than 2.5 min. vid by Skinny Medic: "Counterfeit Combat Application Tourniquets (C-A-T)s"
Thank you so much Cody for laying out your videos in the way that you do. Many people would have said "This is the best first aid kit ever, no questions, hands down." But it's not an all around pack, your kit is tailored to chainsaws. And just like you said, it will be different than a military kit or any other specialty kit. Not many people think things through like you do. Thanks again!
Thanks for the reminder on the expiration dates. I have to dig mine out of my BOB and hunting pack and check them.
wranglerstar I am quite enjoying the change of pace. Keep up the great work. You encourage me in many ways in my life. One of which is that there is hope for a life outside of the city. May our God keep you, your family and crews safe during the next few months.
In doing a search of your videos (great by the way) for ordinary household cut-and-scrape bandages, I didn't see any, but with so many topics to cover, it's understandable. That being said, of all of the brands I've ever used, there's only been one that stands head and shoulders above the rest and that one is Coverlet. The low grade bandages we use at work will literally start peeling off after a few minutes, but the Coverlet bandages will usually last even through a hand washing or two and the adhesive completely surrounds the pad. The only problem I can see with them is that as far as I know, you can only get them online.
I took a class with Dark Angel Medical that dealt with TQ and major bleeding injuries. It really opened my eyes to the value of the kind of kit you are talking about. I am of the mind now that a person should have one at all times, providing they know how to use it. My initial reason for taking the class was to be a first responder at my workplace, but it turned out to be a very valuable training for daily life. Since a number of your followers are using axes and chainsaws for work or recreation this is a great video for community awareness. I would recommend that everyone involved in said activities take a class on the tech and become better suited to save their families lives or their own.
That is an excellent little kit that can save a life,great job in showcasing it for us.
fake cat TQ get a real one from north Ameracan recue
@@francisdolarhyde24 they sell the real cat for 40€. Its just a strap with some Velcro and a plastik pin. Many of the copies are just as good and cost 1/4 of that.
Is he a Paramedic or an EMT?
@@toddcrenshaw2308 22 seconds in he answered that question.
_er X nope. Not even close. Not the Chinese knock offs anyway.
Great things to have in every kit... added to the list, thanks!
Excellent Video, Thanks for Posting. I always have a fully stocked first aid kit with me where ever I am working. I feel very secure knowing I have it, if and when I need it.
I have really enjoyed the variety, the axe/falling videos, etc... thanks for making videos!
Good kit. Thanks for the info
Thank you for the advise.
Good Idea Cody, the military calls them IFAK's (individual first aid kit) I would also try to get a hold of some kerlix (4 in gauze roll) and some combat gauze (impregnated w/ quick clot that doesn't chemically burn you). If the wound is ever on the leg, make sure you put the strap through both sides of that little bracket, if not, the slightest pull on the velcro and the cat will fail. Stay Safe and Be Blessed.
That's alright. Thank you for sharing!
Cody, I think quick clot would be a great addition to one of your kits. Us military guys are believers in it.
This was good motivation for me to get my first aid kit together. I have the supplies but I might need to get one of those awesome cases.
A good basic trauma kit. I, personally, would add one QuikClot XL Combat Gauze and one H&H Compressed Gauze. The QuikClot, of course, is a battle-proven hemostatic agent, and the compressed gauze would be used to pack the wound prior to applying the Israeli bandage, or to over wrap it if more compression is necessary. Just my thought on the subject. Thanks for sharing.
TheRealWorldPrepper Take a look at the Olaes Bandages. They come with extra guaze built into the back of the pad so you can stuff it into wounds that need the space filled to assist tamponade bleeding.
You may want to consider QuikClot® Bleeding Control Dressing. Some areas cannot effectively have a tourniquet or wrap bandage applied and need to be stuffed with hemostatic gauze.
***FAKE CAT TQ***
Hi there, First off really enjoy the channel. I am a US veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, Infantry. One recommendation for you If i may. The quick clot paired with the Israeli Dressing, in my humble opinion, is the most effective means of stopping massive trauma that I have seen in a first responder situation. I recommend collocating those two items. The cat tourniquet is awesome as well but requires a bit more practice. I recommend highly practicing with these. One of the best things about them is that they can be applied one handed. The backlash about the use of tourniquets is mostly due to amputees in previous wars in which the wait time for professional medical help was dramatically longer. Days instead of hours. Again love the channel keep up the great work. Also add maybe a blood type identifier.
***** Thanks for your service brother! Navy Corpsman here! Good information!
I'm curious about the beaver dam you built, hoping for an update on that in a future video :)
Hey mate. Hot tip for the Israeli bandage, I always remove them from the silver foil packet and just run them in my IFAK in the see through cryovac plastic. Quicker to get at when your hands are all messy and you’re most likely opening it one handed with your teeth.
I also run a sharpie marker with my CATs in order to mark the time.
Great channel mate, love your method of explanation and your content. 🪓
Keep up the good work! 🇦🇺
I have something, but do not have tourniquet. Whenever I go to the field with 2 others in case something goes wrong and necessity demand.
And we have knowledge in first aid, have helped a lot but for preventing and Divine grace never hurt me, who a branch in the foot and nothing else.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for that Movon, I am a nurse in a theatres (operating room) so I know how it goes. I just wanted to high light basic rules. Charged up phone work in twos good first aid training etc etc. Simple stuff but makes all the difference if things go wrong. It wasn't bad advise, just very basic. Don't worry if I had a pulsating bleeder I would hit it with everything I had as I carry extra stuff in a ruck sack. That Israeli bandage looks good may try and get one. EMT? Keep up the good work I don't know how you work in the back of an ambulance as I was always felt sick as a dog after been bounced around in one of them for just a few minuets. Take good care. Cheers Duncan.
Great point about C.A.T. and chainsawing.!
Will implement.
Cody, it may be important to mention that the CAT tourniquet needs to be prepped. Out of the package, it is not ready to use on handed. Just open it up and thread it loosely so it is ready for any limb.
I knew a guy that would fly with one loosely placed on each arm and leg in Iraq because he had a buddy bleed out from a GSW in the leg before they could land.
Thanks for the video Cody, I def need some blood stoppers
very useful n thank you!
Excellent info. May I inquire as to what you have on your left wrist? It looks like a miniature-and wireless-monitor for your camera(?).
I have a very similar blow-out kit that I keep with me most of the time, although I have a few other items in mine. The C.A.T. tourniquet is, IMHO, the best tourniquet on the market bar none. The Sof-T is also pretty good, but the C.A.T. is better, and that's the one I keep in my pocket kit. (It's designed to fit into the cargo pocket of BDU or 5.11 style cargo pants.) However, I also carry a backup tourniquet in that kit, not only because I have four limbs and it's not unthinkable that more than one arm and/or leg could need a tourniquet, but also because more than one person could need a tourniquet. Remember the Boston Marathon bombing? There were multiple casualties needing a tourniquet(s), and that type of event is getting more likely not less!
My backup tourniquet is called the R.A.T.S. or 'Rapid Application Tourniquet System'. It's a little less expensive than the C.A.T., and, for me anyway, it's a little easier to use one handed. When you see the pictures of it online it looks like a terrible design! I would've never bought one on my own, but I won one in a giveaway on Skinny Medic's Channel (highly recommended!). Once I got it, read the instructions, tried it out and understood how it's designed to work, I changed my mind pretty quick! It turns out that it works pretty darn well. The C.A.T. is still my first choice, but the R.A.T.S. is a close second and is carried in my kit as a backup.
Other than the C.A.T. & the R.A.T.S., I also carry a 4" IBD, 2 Quikclot sponges, 2 pairs of HD black nitrile gloves & a small pair of trauma sheers, and, in addition to the red cross first aid patch on the cover of the kit, I also have a little O+ patch denoting my blood type just in case I'm unable to tell the medics myself. Anytime I'm doing anything in the outdoors or at the shooting range this kit is with me, no exceptions.
Gunslinger454 Right on brother....excellent advice!! I use SWAT-T as back ups, but to each his own. You sound locked on.
Movon Labe Thanks! I have a couple of SWAT-T's in other kits. I kept one as my backup before I got the R.A.T.S., and I really like its versatility. I switched to the R.A.T.S. because the SWAT-T ranges from difficult to impossible to use one handed. Realistically you'll probably never need to apply a backup tourniquet one handed, but I like having the capability to do so.
One thing I've learned from my brother in law who is a Special Forces guy now law enforcement is to carry a TQ for each extremity. What I do is I have cargo pants I'll wear and a flannel work shirt that has pockets on the bicep areas. I'll keep a CAT in both leg and biceps pocket, because if I need to apply it to myself, due to something major, I won't have to dig around to find it. But I completely agree everyone should have at least one TQ on them. I'm lucky being a medic who also works with my county STRIKE team, my department issues us CAT's like crazy. I have 4 in my truck, usually 2 on my person, 1 in my bag that I'll put in whatever I'm going to be working on that day which is either a piece of my equipment here at the home, on my truck at work, in my wife's car, or in my truck. I also STRONGLY suggest teaching your kids how to apply them properly as well. I taught my son how to apply them not only on himself but others as well, because a majority of the time if I'm working on something here at home, he's my helper. Still a very good video sir!
I'd recommend always wearing a belt when cutting. If need be, your belt can become a tourniquet. The wildland belts are very good for this.
I recommend wearing a belt every day to hold your EDC firearm..... I ALWAYS have a belt on
Part of my EDC and have a kit from Adventure Medical kits in both my vehicles. Check out the trauma kit and trauma kit pro.
You should add the Blackhawk medical roll to the store. Your vid on it was great. I used it as a pattern to remake my own family first aid kit.
What kind of watch is that? I'd like to see a video on that. Nice kits by the way
Looking forward to some helmet cam footage this season Cody! Stay safe and thanks for making these videos.
I like the Vanquest F.A.T. pouches for first aid pouches.
Not to over pack the kit, but you should add a compact space blanket. Need to treat for hypothermia whenever treating someone with massive blood loss.
I'd love to find a o.d. green 5.11 pouch like that.
I use to cut wood in Wyoming outside of Yellowstone Nat Park. We only had a gun for grizzlies. Thank goodness we never needed any first aid. You just saved some lives!!!
Cody/ Mr.w, would you do a video on how to keep a axe/ hatchet blade clean
Your website does not have any of this stuff on it that I can see.
TY great video! Any little bit helps as you know. No nay-saying here my friend...preach it! Anything is better than nothing, and these ideas are super.
What battle belt do you have there? For those who don’t know a battle belt is the belt you attach all pouches to.
If I a may, I would recommend that you buy two, one stays in your ific , the second one is to basic practice with, I will recommend that you put a leash on it, or zip tie it on. The ific to your vest or back.
What kind of watch is that you're wearing?
Also, what camera do you use that has that wrist monitor? Thanks
I'd. Recommend some kind of quiclot! For LARGE applications it works well! Unless a artery in involved they make Quiclot put it with your trauma kit
How come you dont put quick clot in the little belt pouch?
Been there! Donne that! And i was given 16 stitches right on my knee as a memory!
Kind regards from northern Sweden
Nice Kit!
I have Everything buy a Good Tourniquet.
but plan to buy one soon seeing how cheap they are
***** a tk4 is a cheap option, but I would recommend replacing the hooks with a heavier duty one from the hardware store.
bonfe roni SWAT-T is the best bang for your buck. And a TK-4 as the back up or if you need to apply two...many times it really takes a second. Or if you are going to move the position up by "bounding." Or if you have two extremities that are damaged.
Movon Labe
I agree. I tested both by occluding my femoral artery. The SWAT-T is easier and stays put better, but both work (assuming you replace the tk4s cheap hooks).
Did you say "working as a medic with the fire department"? My department recently issued us the C.A.T. Tourniquet, and Israeli Bandage as part of our "tactical response" training...pretty cool and legitimately life saving stuff.
Thanks---------- that's it.
Bruce
what watch were you wearing...interesting
What kind of watch are u wearing?
Hey Wranglerstar! Where can one find the First Aid tag as seen on your blue bag? I've looked online and can't find anything and was thinking about just using a dog collar tag. Love the vids! Thanks!
My buddy and I do a lot of shooting, we both carry trama gear for gunshot wounds if, God forbid, we get shot. I have the Israeli battle bandage in my kit and quick clot. I also have the usual, the ace bandage, the trams scissors, the antis petit wipes and stuff like that. It fits in a dump bag and is on my belt she. We are out or even when I'm hunting.
You can get expired Israeli bandages all the time for dirt cheap.
I don’t really see a down side to expired Israeli bandages to keep in your gear and preps.
Quick clot is okay for non arterial spraying wounds but will just get blown out on spraying bleeders.
Use Hemostatic gauze instead and learn how to properly use the stuff so it actually works….you have to have the gauze touching the artery and while holding pressure bring your next fold into the wound with the other hand.
Once you get that packed and hopefully stopped leave that gauze in there , pack it more if you have to then top it off with an Israeli bandage.
I always have a kit with me when doing chainsaw work.
I also don’t go anywhere without my EDC and my backpack with just in case gear.
For instance I was at the doctors with my wife last week for a follow up from her cancer surgery.
I had my EDC gear on me and my backpack with me.
Nobody suspected anything weird but my wife did ask me why I needed all that stuff and I told her “Because crazy goes everywhere too so I need to be able to deal with crazy.”
Fast forward a couple days and some deranged maniac shot that doctors office up including staff and patients.
If only I was there that day.
I think we all need to be on ultra alert these days and when those waiting room doors swing open I’m always looking to see who’s coming in the door.
Great vid. be prepared the boy scout motto. two suggesting an Epipen ( if that's how you spell it) for stings you can become overwhelmed by angry bees fast. and a snake bite kit you may never know where they can be lurking
Roommate split his lower leg open yesterday while chopping firewood. I was able to retrieve an israeli bandage from my trailwork pack and got it on him within a minute which stopped the bleeding almost immediately. He sends me this from his hospital bed. "They say that that's one of the best wrapping jobs they've ever seen. The ambulance and hospital. ". Thank you so much for making this video otherwise who knows
Even more important to having these items available is to be very, very clear BEFORE the need arises as to exactly what situations to use each of these and when NOT to since a misapplication of any of these
Cassian YHVH could be equally devastating and reduce rather than increase the salvage of life or limb.
Definitely a fake cat tourniquet
What kinda watch is on yer wrist??? Do a review about it
wranglerstar I am wondering what wondering what watch are you wearing and awesome video.
The thinking behind my kit is if I took a bad and deep cut on the lower limb with say an axe or crosscut,(don't use chainsaws) first pad would go on with tight bandage, take off hi vis jacket and place it where it can be seen, call for help on the phone to your person you let know were you are, lay down and elevate leg keeping second pad and bandage at hand in case first pad starts leaking. Start S.O.S on whistle. 1st responders can home in on whistle and then on hi vis jacket(or both) and then you. I know a nice wood would be the place to go but not just for a few precautions. Duncan.
DUNCAN HILL If the bleeding appears to be arterial, pulsating, or bleeding rapidly under pressure, bright red and constant then go for the TQ first. It two minutes you will lose about 33% of your blood volume---so you are for sure going to go into shock. You will be excited and anxious when it happens and your heart will be beating fast and BP up. So when it happens and you decide to not treat it aggressively you run the risk of waking up dead. If you pass out and lay back adn your tongue blocks your airway you can have a bad outcome--ergo death. It is a gamble that I won't or would not take!! Or not able to move if needed to get out of there as you let out alot of ability to carry 02--aka blood leak and now you cannot hardly breathe. Remember you can always TQ, stops the bleeding (blood carries 02) and then think about converting to a dressing with Quick Clot Gauze when you have time and calm down. We now have all EMTs and Paramedics to pass a practical skill station of your exact injury. The EMT student has to apply a TQ and then pressure bandage. I am a Paramedic and can tell you I am never upset if I get a patient who got treated with a TQ before I arrive. Partly as I will get them to a hospital rapidly---mainly as I was not there when the bleeding was visible.
+wranglerstar Brian Black has posted a really good tip on the Israeli - they are double packaged! In his kits, he keeps his only in the internal, clear packaging.
www.itstactical.com/medcom/medical/why-israeli-bandages-are-like-pepperidge-farm-bread/
How on earth did you get your tourniquet into that external pocket?
No matter what I do, the pocket is way too tight, I had to put my torniquet inside and put my leatherman raptor in the "tourniquet pouch" on the outside, it just wouldn't fit...
Very nice.
why do you keep checking your watch?
I would suggest moving that Quikclot in to the black kit.
What are you wearing on your wrist?
What kind of watch is that cody?
What are you wearing on your left wrist? It looks similar to a Garmin Foretrex, but it's not.
Most people don't think about a First-aid kit till they need it. I am guilty of this but that was taken care of a few years back when we picked up two med kits one a platoon and the other a squad class med kit. We think the expense was worth it. We also carry smaller kits in our cars.
Who makes the blue first aid kit you show?
I'm building my kit as well. You need some wound packing hemo gauze. And use that knock off cat as a training one. Get a NAR Cat gen7
Small IFAKs are now issued to every officer at my agency. Everyone is carrying at a minimum a tourniquet, many carrying combat gauze. Clotting powders are no longer approved for duty use.
Being prepared is a must
Cool video. Side question...what are you wearing on your wrist. Looks like a wrist gps of some sort?
adamdarby43 I think that's his camera/video remote.
Any chance you have a GOOD LINK for the mentioned FAK items?!?
The link to WranglerStar or whomever DOES NOT have any listing for ANY FAK items such as you mentioned. I currently have multiples of each but am always looking for a better mouse trap, as it were, and a smaller carry case for just the TQ and Israeli bandage would be great if that is all the equipment you are carrying at the time for some reason.
Anyway, better link, PLEASE?!?
What kind of watch is that?
***** ahhh... Thanks for the info. :-)
Good advise, I don't like the small black coloured pouch the red one was much more prominent, if you were found unconscious. The black one would just merge into your kit. I have a hi vis jacket with large pockets it has 2 large pads and 2 large compression bandages, charged mobile(cell) phone and a whistle. 3 short 3 long if anybody can remember that one and let someone know were I am working. Plus aprox return time. Also learn pressure points,also basic good first aid. Also try and work with a mate. Cheers Duncan.
DUNCAN HILL I agree, if you are not worried about camouflaged then keep your medical gear HIGH vis! Red is good! Good advice you got there too.
We used to tape our Israeli bandage (we called them shotgun bandage) inside our hard hat so you always had it but it wasn't ever in the way. Mind you we use Husqvarna chain saws and metric so it might not be the best idea.
If your gear is in your hard hat dosn't that kind of put you at risk during an impact. Not much room for more than the hard hat suspension and a head in there.
Is the red first aid kit from SkinnyMedic? He is quite knowledgeable about special purpose first aid kits.
Everyone should have some sort of first aid kit in their cars aswell, always had one in mine only ever needed to use it once when i came across a guy that ran off the road.
Great video as always
Cody I would put a homeostatic agent in there as well. wouldn't take much space and is worth its weight in gold.
I didn't see a first aid section in your Amazon store
Someone once made a great point for med kits. BRIGHT RED!! it should be bright red and it should be the only thing on your gear that is red. The reason is so that if needed, anyone can find it with ZERO delay.
My friend has his in his daily carry backpack. There is a RED paracord zipper pull on the compartment the IFAK is in, then the kit pouch inside is BRIGHT RED.
This way he can tell someone, Its in the only red pouch inside the only red zipper.
your C.A.T Tourniquet is fake it will do nothing in a life/death situation. get a real one for your safety
