love this series BUT after 20+ years as a street medic and 3+ as an army medic I must say that the snake bite kits where it has u cut across 2 incisions and then use the suction device to attempt to suck out the venom is no longer advised which was kinda surprising to me when the data came out. those kits do work ok for other bites but i'd personally advise research on the issue.
Cody, a huge THANK YOU for volunteering. Being there for someone else in their moment of need is invaluable. Living away from town doesn't have to mean living without help, it depends on people and families willing to make sacrifices. Great kit, picked up some new ideas after 20 years!
Thanks for showing us you kit. My group here in Sacramento has been talking about a class on First Aid and I have been trying to figure out what the format would look like. This video will help me when we talk about First Aid kits and there uses. Thank for all you do you Subscribers.
It looks like a very good kit, and gave me a lot of ideas on things I need to add to mine. One thing I didn't see in yours that I have in all of mine is benadryl, you would be surprised how many times people get in a new area and have issues with allergens.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I love how thorough it was and how it fits people like me who don't have emt training but do encounter every day stuff. This really helps clarify what I need to include in the kits I am building for my family. I appreciate the advice on buying in bulk too. Makes perfect sense. Thank you so much.
Hey keifanderson. Tampons are designed to absorb but they expand when wet. That's why they work as nose packing and for large wounds. You place them in the wound, cover with the correct size bandage and wrap with gauze. If you are in the.field but have a way to get to a hospital this can help stop the bleeding and keep the wound open. Wounds that are very deep are often stitched starting inside the wound and then working toward the outer dermal layer.
Thanks for the video. Careful with the nasal airway and facial trauma. You could shove the airway up into the brain if the trauma is severe. If you do use a nasal airway, it helps to lube it with epinephrine jelly to prevent or decrease bleeding.
Hey Cody - Been looking at that medic roll for a while now. Until your video here, couldn't find any kind of review on it. Based on your demonstration, I'll pick one up. Thanks for another timely and relevant review. God bless and keep you and yours.
Not a bad kit. A few things you might consider adding for like-saving trauma care are a "real" tourniquet like the CAT or the SOFTT-W, some hemostatic gauze, and possibly some chest seals. Working with a chainsaw like you do, the ability to stop the bleeding from any would could be invaluable.
Excellent vids full of helpful info. Recommend anyone at least getting some basic training in first aid. It helps banish that complete panic that comes when you have no clue what to do.
To mark your kit better you can use the reflective tape they have at like home depot or in a hunting section and make a cross on your bag with it. They have adhesive and sewable kind.
BTW, on the snakebite kit, check out the Sawyer Bite Kit. It's kind of large, but it's very helpful on other bites as well. They are great for bee, wasp, hornet, and other similar creature stings/bites. If you get to the sting/bite early you can actually see the venom being sucked to the surface and can actually remove stingers.
yeah, most people think the same. basically an EMT can do most of the same things as a medic, with the exception of starting IVs, giving various meds, and some advanced airway procedures. but the main difference is the amount of training, my EMT course took about a month and a half, while Paramedic school can take upwards of 18 months
Cody has put together a good all around kit. I can tell it comes from having been there and DID that. And not wanting to repeat it! At the open house we had a few oops happen and things were handled as needed. That comes with having things you need ready when needed.
I was a Medic in IRQ and AFG; seen hundreds of bags and set ups, and I guess it really depends on your needs as the Medic. From my experiences I've found that a clear plastic allows you to see what your getting at, but those pockets seem to be a pain when you're getting at items, sticking to anything in them. Obviously a completely covered pouch makes locating item impossible for anyone who doesn't know your setup, I've found netted pockets/pouches allow for an easy pull/location of items.
Thanks Cody. Learned a lot from your video. Only thing I thought of was a cold compress. I keep the little packs with me in case of sprained ankles and such.
I keep a printed inventory of the contents of my kit(s) with the kit. This way another user of the kit can refer to the list vs. pulling everything out in an emergency searching for a particular item that may or may not be in the kit. I used fabric paint to make a first aid symbol (white circle with red cross) on the outside of the kit.
We have three daughters and I've found that the companion to "where there is no doctor" called "where women have no doctor" is of great benefit. Look it up. It is published by Hesperian (the same folks that did where there is no doctor). You can find it on bookfinder and abebooks.
Something people don't think about but, a EMT told me a great bandage is a Kotex napkin. They are also cheap at Dollar Tree or a discount store, I have some in my kit.
I highly endorse carrying those "Tegiderm" type dressings. The brand I use is called "OpSite", they are the same kind of thing, these dressings will keep everything out and they simply won't come off. They will last through multiple showers even, and they are a lot more comfortable than other things you might use to cover a deep gash. These are very important if you're out in the woods for a long time because they do a superior job making sure that your wounds will not get infected.
I didn't find part #1 but for anyone with kids, some Regular band aid patches and a tube of super glue. Kids will take a glue stitch easier than sewing. Maybe some butterflies too. I know its easy to overkill. Great segment ! Oh yes, and a couple of suckers for the kid that needs a smile after ya patch him up !
Some things I would suggest in this kit is an Epi-pen, and possibly an albuterol inhaler.. And possibly a Quick Clot dressing. And tether all tools with threads form mil spec paracord to the kit....
Yes, I do realize that, but I guess I always figured someone with an EMT background would have access to them. There are so many people allergic to bee stings (and Cody raises bees!). Have a good night.
That's how I got the antibiotics for my kit. I hope most people realize they can talk to their doctors to get prescriptions for helpful, non-narcotic items. Mine was glad to help.
Fantastic kit, ready for mostly any accident that isn't super awful The only thing I would say is that it looks a bit fiddly to pull things out of the pockets, and for a person who's scared or somewhat in shock it could be quite hard to grip things with shakey fingers Great bag aside, excellent size and shape
My kit in the car is always running out, no one at work has a first aid kit so they always come to me. Biggest thing i've learned over the years is you have to know what to do especially when they go into shock. Sometimes people will walk around cursing away after a trauma and dont feel anything but you can clearly see something is broken. I like the big palm size waterproof bandages.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but tampons are designed to absorb blood rather than stop bleeding; it takes compression for that. For a nosebleed they would stop the blood from running down your face for a while, and now that you mention it, I might try a pair the next time I have a bad cold!
Something that I have learned, if you can't get the insta glucose a tube of cake decorating frosting does the trick too. My father is a diabetic and carries it in his brief case and in his car.
Hey Jeremy - I say "why not both?" I found a good pair of trauma-shears that deal nicely with clothing/other tough materials. For delicate cutting, there's a little set of Fiskar shears on my Gerber multi-tool. The trauma shears are made in Pakistan (I know... I know...), and retailed by Rescue Essentials (check Amazon). Take care.
This is a wonderful video review of your kit. It has shown me a lot of good additions that I really need to make to my kit. I love how you have taken the time to label everything, excellent idea. Thank you :)
not really part of the kit but I still keep in my vehicle is a gallon of water and a blanket. You could add some heat paks though which would help with shock in addition to the blanket.
Cody,have you or anyone else had a chance to use or see the mew leatherman medical shears? On a personal note thank you for the all your video's they have inspired me to be less of a consumer and to reuse alot of the older tools that I have instead of replacing them.
Just had both knees replaced last year and the orthopedic surgeon used an old fashioned set of tin snips to remove the dressing. I kind of freaked when he pulled them out! However they did work, not the lightest weight item but blunt and effective, a little weird though.
being a new home owner, and starting to plan to have a family, I need to get on to having first aid kits around. in the truck, car, the house, the shop.
Very cool. Would you be willing to go over your larger kit? Or at least show what the larger kit has that the smaller does not? I would be very interested in that.
This is a nice med pack, but I didn't remember seeing any benadryl for allergic reactions, just saying because I personally have allergies to many things. awesome videos and I'm proud to be your subscriber.
Great Kit! Maybe you could add something that helps with an allergic reaction. Since you bought your supplies in bulk, you could do training runs with your family. Like you said, routine is very important. Your video remindet me, that I got to go refresh my first aid knowledge at our local red cross. Did you forget to refill the Steri-Strips? Just in case you feel like cutting of your finger again
It would be really useful to have a FIRST AID Booklet included in there for OTHER people using the kit who might not have FIRST AID training and need information on what to do.
Have you thought about putting a few of these kits together and offering them for a price to us that don't quite have the know how to build a kit. Warren
I may have missed it, did you have Benadryl or comparable for allergies? The other thing I found useful and had to use was sterile hand wipes to clean around a cut or wound.
Where do you get some of these bandages/gauze pads in bulk. I'm aware there are tons of sites, but I'm just curious what you used or thought was the best place? Also, could you post a list of the items in the Subject section?
Cody, I have a question about storing a kit like this in a vehicle. I live in South Georgia where both the temperature and humidity get very high, often at the same time. Throw that in a vehicle and I just wonder about the effects on bandages like Tegaderm, not exactly cheap, and the meds, like Neosporin, etc. Any ideas, should the contents be rotated out and how often? Should some items not be included? One more question, where do you get the little round tags?
Can it help: ID labels on each pocket 1,2,3 and index paper what is inside in each pocket preferably mindmap format. I wonder do you have tracking system in excel for expiring dates? A report will tell you what soon going to expire. Another wonder are you using unique numbering system for your inventories? I just discovered you and didn't watch yet all your videos, I really enjoy your videos, regards from turkey.
I want to mention something about the NPA or Nasopharyngeal airway. Under no circumstances should you use a petroleum based lubricant/jelly to lubricate the NPA. It needs to be a water based lubricant. Petroleum based lubricants around oxygen administered from an O2 tank through a nasal cannula, non-rebreather or any O2 mask is bad news.
Where is the best place to buy "Blood Stop" patch's? Madsens has them but they are kind of pricey? Madsens is the only place I can find real one's, and not just large gauze pads.
great vid bro lots of great info good kit wow your ready to save a life or two great job thanks bro cheers hope that stuff always stays in the bag never needed
about 6;45 ref the snake bite kit... those went out years ago.. you do MORE damage using it than just keeping the bite lower than the heart an transporting,,,,,,
hesperian d.o.t org/books-and-resources/ has a downloadable PDF of this for free if you would like to read it. I think a paper copy would be a better option, but you get to read it first if you would like.
people say stuff from China is cheap the thing is the importers only import the cheap stuff. but you can buy a high-quality knife in China made by a master swordsmith for $10,000 that you won't find in the USA
Curtis Cashen except you can't just leave them connected once the baby is born. You also have to get the placenta out. Also if you live out in rural areas it can be awhile before getting to a hospital. Also there are a lot of people who are paramedics or equally qualified people who can help out. But yes getting them checked on after would be smart. (ps england like 90% of births are by midwives)
I am a little surprised by the snake bite kit. Cutting a snake bite is an absolute last ditch treatment. A patient is far more likely to die of infection than they are the snake bite if you slice into the bites, I think you might want to check in to the use of that type of kit to determine if you really want to include it.

Yes, I do realize that, but I guess I always figured someone with an EMT background would have access to them. There are so many people allergic to bee stings (and Cody raises bees!). Have a good night.
In addition to salt, you might want to add granulated sugar. It can help with osmotic pressure in a patient that has lost a lot of blood.
That's how I got the antibiotics for my kit. I hope most people realize they can talk to their doctors to get prescriptions for helpful, non-narcotic items. Mine was glad to help.
Might I suggest Benadryl and and epipen for you kit I find that these are some important items for being outdoors and such.
I have a full medic in my truck. And good luck on your Emt cert.
Fantastic kit, ready for mostly any accident that isn't super awful

A great start to the first aid bag I want to build. Thank you so much!
Hey Cody, Fantastic kit, one medicine I would recommend would be some reaction for people with allergies, just in case they forget theirs
Cody,have you or anyone else had a chance to use or see the mew leatherman medical shears? On a personal note thank you for the all your video's they have inspired me to be less of a consumer and to reuse alot of the older tools that I have instead of replacing them.

I never realized there was a difference between EMTs and Paramedics; I'd always used the terms interchangeably. Thanks for the info.
being a new home owner, and starting to plan to have a family, I need to get on to having first aid kits around. in the truck, car, the house, the shop.
Check with your local Red Cross or YMCA for first aid and CPR training. Bandaids don't always cut it.
Very cool. Would you be willing to go over your larger kit? Or at least show what the larger kit has that the smaller does not? I would be very interested in that.

Just in case you feel like cutting of your finger again
I agree with you on the Fiskar scissors. Trauma sheers made in America sounds like an opportunity. Anyone have another suggestion?
Thanks for as sharing Cody, love the book too I picked one up several years back.
It would be really useful to have a FIRST AID Booklet included in there for OTHER people using the kit who might not have FIRST AID training and need information on what to do.
Watch to the end
I would suggest adding benadryl in case of allergic reaction. I typically try to find dye free but sometimes pink is all I can find
Have you thought about putting a few of these kits together and offering them for a price to us that don't quite have the know how to build a kit. Warren
Hey Wranglerstar do you think you can show us your ALS bag?
I may have missed it, did you have Benadryl or comparable for allergies? The other thing I found useful and had to use was sterile hand wipes to clean around a cut or wound.

when you mentioned Nutnfancy, i chuckled. I subscribe to him, too, and when i saw your blackhawk roll out kit, that was exactly what i thought of
Have you considered adding an EpiPen?
Fiskars scissors are from Finland! They are really the best there is.
Finally! Part 2! Thanks Cody
Where is the best place to buy "Blood Stop" patch's? Madsens has them but they are kind of pricey? Madsens is the only place I can find real one's, and not just large gauze pads.
A good looking kit, I need
to build one.
great vid bro lots of great info good kit wow your ready to save a life or two great job thanks bro cheers hope that stuff always stays in the bag never needed
as an EMT i can say, you really cant get scrips unless its on the ambulance. and even then what EMTs can use is very limited compared to a paramedic
i agree please show the big pack
about 6;45 ref the snake bite kit... those went out years ago.. you do MORE damage using it than just keeping the bite lower than the heart an transporting,,,,,,
would I be able to get that book at chapters in Canada?
What is in the orange bag???
I have been trying to figure that
hesperian d.o.t org/books-and-resources/ has a downloadable PDF of this for free if you would like to read it. I think a paper copy would be a better option, but you get to read it first if you would like.
A nasopharyngeal airway is contraindicated when there is facial or head trauma.
Thanks Cody
Nasal airways should be used if the pt still has a gag reflex but needs an airway I have taken one and let me tell ya not fun haha
Thankyou for this video iam building 3 first aid kits and this is just so helpfull
Can you link a kit that compares
For some reason I can't locate video 3. Video 1 says 1 of 3.
try the leatherman raptor
hey random also check out nutnfancy's video on level two first aid he also does a really good review on the medic roll
people say stuff from China is cheap the thing is the importers only import the cheap stuff. but you can buy a high-quality knife in China made by a master swordsmith for $10,000 that you won't find in the USA
Great idea!
Nasopharyngeal airways should NOT be used in the event of major facial trauma. Just to clarify.
theragingnoodle why tho
i wand to buy a First Aid Kit is a simpel one Good or need i buy somthing like you?
i wand to use it if i bike and walk.
Remember NP airways are NOT to be used for facial or head trauma.
And you might want to read up on current protocols/ideology for snake bites.
Antihistamine for allergic reactions?
Don't you need two umbilical clamps?
or even three for triplets
DET313 that would take 6..
you clamp in two places and cut between the two clamps
Grant Ruhoff You transport mother and child intact to the hospital and let them deal with that.
Curtis Cashen What of there are no hospital/medical facilities near by ?
Curtis Cashen except you can't just leave them connected once the baby is born. You also have to get the placenta out.
Also if you live out in rural areas it can be awhile before getting to a hospital.
Also there are a lot of people who are paramedics or equally qualified people who can help out.
But yes getting them checked on after would be smart.
(ps england like 90% of births are by midwives)
Jeff brought me here!
Interesting thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.....
I just googles it. Fiskar scissors are made in China now too.
pls schow us the big kit
the link is not working
Born at home Dad used yarn
Around the 9th minut he talked about musquito's I'm alergic for them but now I'm curious who els is allergic for musquito's
Cheap disposable plastic razor for shaving - good idea :-)
just consider it a large dollar investment that you will cash in when you really need it.
I am a little surprised by the snake bite kit. Cutting a snake bite is an absolute last ditch treatment. A patient is far more likely to die of infection than they are the snake bite if you slice into the bites, I think you might want to check in to the use of that type of kit to determine if you really want to include it.
