The splinter out tool is pretty incredible. It works really well. It’s basically a small rectangle shaped piece of metal with a pointed sharp end and it’s very sharp. Makes getting a splinter out super easy and painless. You would use it just like you would a needle to get in under the skin under the splinter. Pretty self explanatory once you open it.
Those are some very interesting little kits. I like that they’re considering alternate tourniquets too. Better than an improvised tourniquet if anything else 👍🏼
I just used my splinter pick this morning in my son it was way easier getting a splinter out. And as for Aspirin we have AED defibs at my work and we were recommended to put some asprin in with that to help with cardiac and heart problems.
I think the real takeaway from this is that you should be mindful of what you can shove in a small pouch and plan accordingly. I have a booboo pouch I keep with me for the boys, and several "oh snap I'm gonna bleed out" kits on my bags. I'm typically within arm's reach of something useful. Had a coworker cut off his toe, by the time I got to him it was a simple gauze and tape routine because the bleeding had slowed to a near stop. I was more disappointed in my coworkers who panicked and clearly didn't know what to do. I had to explain where the hospital was because the panic was thick enough they stopped processing. edit: my immediate thought is a pocket organizer which will have some slots for go to's and organization. No it won't be thru trekker light, but it will be easier to manager for the layman.
I recently did a first aid course at work, with burns we were told to put it under running cold water for 20 mins and that the burn gel was not worth having as it reduces the pain but doesn't stop the skin cooking any more. Any thoughts on that?
Sam, can you explain why QuickClot combat gauze require a medical authorization to purchase if they are the same as those available to the public? Thanks!
I have a great deal of respect and appreciation for you Sam but you need to revisit the ETQ's. In your videos you made a mistake in the use. Also the webbing that does the compression of the CAT 7 is only one inch. Please play with the ETQ's in both sizes again
Hey, have you or anyone on here ever ordered NAR supplies to Canada? Or purchased them from Amazon? I’m a Canadian looking to build a IFAK and can’t find a reliable source to get supplies
@@LiveTheCreed That would be great! Checked out your website just have a couple questions. Do you know weather or not there will be any border customs fee I would have to pay? And do you guys charge extra for international shipping like to Canada?
bacitracin is no longer considered gold standard, surprised kits are still using it. The double action vs triple action antibiotic creams are better. Bacitracin is causing allergic reactions.
**tourniquets must be at least 1.5 inches wide to be considered for TCCC recommendation** the wider the TQ the less occlusion pressure is involved and the better it will work. I am a proponent of this. That being said as the company points out even the internal band of a CAT (the band that actually applies pressure) is only an inch across.
Are there any medical supplies that would degrade from being stored in your back pocket? I use a very large wallet, so something this size might not bother me.
The profit margins for civilian medical supply companies are super tight and LTC struggled through COVID so I don’t really care but I do see what you are saying.

Yes we love these things, especially useful if you have kids!
@@LiveTheCreed for sure! I keep them everywhere.

Sounds like a really nice bag, good materials.

Great little to-go kits!
I guess I will not watch first and back later.. damn you made so many great videos and the PAX one was lovely!
i just got my stash x yesterday and it shipped with the wide version of the etq
Thank you as always, Sam!
I like the new intro!
Thx for the gear reviews.
I never said it was pseudoephedrine.
@@PrepMedicI stand corrected. Benadryl. Edited my post
Would love to see you do a video about soluble hemostatic gauze.

What is the name of the tan bag in the thumbnail?
Looks like a Vertx. Not certain though.
Your right it's the vertx one
The bag he displays in the video is the SOCP Tactical Fanny Pack by Vertx in their Dark Earth colorway.
@@basher5285 hey man, thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
@@ungovernable-bc1 Aye, no problem! I was already looking into and figured some others may be as well.

Interesting. Thanks for reviewing
Can you do a video on the Rhino rescue tourniquets?
I recently did a first aid course at work, with burns we were told to put it under running cold water for 20 mins and that the burn gel was not worth having as it reduces the pain but doesn't stop the skin cooking any more. Any thoughts on that?
What CCW bag you carrying, buddy?

I agree with this as well.
How do I order both kits
What about the glue for the steristrips?

@@PrepMedicOh! I'm sorry! 2 inches this applies to improvised tourniquets. But this one in the kit is definitely too narrow!
It's not "too narrow" only for TCC recommendation. But they also have a wide version. @@Programist-MARCH
Am I the only one that throws all my ifaks together in ziplock bags? Super cheap and see through.

You should be good as long as the bag is stored in a temperature controlled environment, some have expiration dates…just be aware
@@unknown1238157 my swamp ass is anything but temperature controlled in the summer time lol
The medications can be affected by the heat and become less effective, other than that no worries.
Not a big fan of established companies using kickstarter….

No thanks ill stick with Bear from ok. Products and services
dude you want to kill or to heal? why's there a gun there
That's not very "cowboy" of you, or manly at that. Lol
Because you need both
Because they are American. Don't forget it.
So you can help those shot by the crazy person you just took out with your own firearm.
Defend and then stabilize.
