As a 20+yr professional medical provider and frequent wilderness explorer... I routinely find myself watching this type of video with skepticism- but finally someone ( you ! ) put together something that I would consider actually worth a damn...
1- well thought out
2- high degree if specificity when choosing your items
I AM VERY IMPRESSED!!
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover
good survival food
try Franaar Spies Control Formula (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my neighbor got great success with it.
Very well thought out and organized. Thank you for your time in putting this video together as well as the suppliers that you listed. It is much appreciated.
TheAO, I just recently found this video and wanted to express my gratitude for such a well-organized and clear presentation. I've always carried an IFAK, but I wanted to improve it. I now have the FR-1 and surgical gloves pouch from Maxpedition (I'm pleased with the quality), and am collecting other supplies. Thanks for your time and effort. Mark from Utah
This is very impressive. I like how much gauze you have in there. A lot of kits seems to rely on quick clot and only have 1 or 2 gauze dressings.
Personally, if I could only carry one first aid item it'd be a pack of sterile gauze swabs.
A very well thought out FAK & an excellent presentation. This is the best one I've seen yet, sir.
OMG! VERY impressive for such a small carry. You did a great job on stocking the kit and videoing the contents. I have seen a lot of bags that size or even a little larger, but none can compare to the amount of good items in the bag! Keep up the good work.
Great kit. Thanks for the vid!
OMG....That is the most loaded FR-1 I have ever seen with First Aid items...Quite impressed..Cheer ;-)
You have one of the coolest first aid kits on TH-cam I'm putting together my own something like your's
Job well done!
That is beautiful man, Blows the hell out of the first aid section in my EDC bag... But on the other hand I am almost never far from a BLS bag... But great job man Im going to copy a few items that I noticed I forgot lol.
very well put together kit ! nice vid man.
Great video!
This is a great kit. Mine is similar and works for my traveling and camping needs. It has come in handy to help others as well. Only thing I didn't see that I recommend is a good Israeli bandage. Those things are great and works wonder for a major wound. Saves time during a critical situation.
I think this is a great example of an individualized kit and everyone needs to do this. Find something that works for you and your health needs and make a nice kit like this.
Great job!
I ordered two of these bags from Maxpedition on their heavily advertised BOGO sale, but after five days hadn't received any confirmation of shipping. I wrote them this afternoon asking when the products would ship and got no answer, so I just called them, and was informed "the terms and conditions specify that because of demand shipping would be delayed" and that the items would ship "Next Week." Resorting to the old "Terms and conditions" ploy (who reads those?) and the failure to promptly answer my email inquiry, as well the vague "we'll ship next week" all suggest scam or at least the kind of business I don't want to do business with. I'd also note that when you call the contact us number, option one is if you're a dealer, option two is if you WANT to be a dealer, and only option 3 includes, as a catch-all, inquiries about an order. Not a business I'd want to do business with again.
Impressive, fitting all of that into the FR-1.. I need to grab one or two of those incase they discontinue those..
THANK YOU FOR MAKING A FIRST AID VIDEO!!!
well i'm getting an aid kit today and bringing it to school!
Have had the Max FR-1 IFAK (First Aid Kit) for over a year and not had to use. Some people here in Albuquerque foothills do not even carry a light day pack ! No light jacket or extra clothing, food (snacks), a LED flashlight; NO they just call 9 1 1 for help and did not THINK first ! My sister sometimes teaches young kids "The Ten Essentials" by the Seattle Mountaineers; something there parent should already know. Time to go over my FR-1 system again and do some upgrades and get closer to a good system like yours. Also some Farm or Tractor stores have some Vet supplies that may be useful and cheaper... Keep up the good work.

would you be able to do a video over your home medical kit? Respectfully, Nate
I have a couple FAK's in my car: a basic kit I got at REI and a military kit in a metal box I picked up when I was in the Navy. I'm thinking of transferring the stuff in the military kit to some other container. I happen to have a toilet kit that came with some luggage. It has all kinds of pockets and elastic sleeves that might just do the trick. It opens up flat so that I can see everything and also has a hook at the top so I could hang it from something if I needed to. Just a thought.
Nice gear!
Nice gear bro!
I was like plz open that thing already now !!
Forgot the popsicle sticks, thanks ;)- Might get this pouch for my wife's Condor II.
Wow I would love to have you near me in the zombie apocalypse
Good kit, interesting video. I noticed you used grip-seal bags for a lot of the initial kit (plasters, medicine). I also do this with my medical kit but have also used them to store gauze, wound pads etc. I find it helps to keep the packaging intact, reduces space if you push out as much air as possible before sealing and you can remove the item more easily. I would be interested to know what you think about this.
im impress great stuff
You have great stuff in there....just a few pointers to improve your knowledge and skill: The popsicle sticks are called tongue depressors (great idea to double them as splints!). The scalpel blade has no handle? The CAT tourniquet is not applied as you stated, you first cinch then turn and then write the time (make sure that it's always placed on either the Femur or the Humerus and never anywhere else. Have you heard of fluorescein? (they sell 12 LED blacklights to analyze). Consider an antibiotic eye treatment. Life, Limb or Eyesight are the rules for immediate evacuation. Consider changing from paper tape to "silk" tape.
Just for infrence the webbing straps are also called molle straps
Прикольные у вас там маленькие упаковочки делают! 👍
what pouch are you using to hold those shears?
That was an awesome review!
I've been trying to think of a situation that you wouldn't be able to address.....
and, its given me some ideas to add to my First Aid kit.
What you got planned next?
I would be quite intrigued to see your EDC Survival Kit you mentioned in your EDC Toolkit review!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Cheers.
I finally got everything back into my FR-1. It came out easy but took some work to get everything perfectly lined up again. In my next review, I will be doing a SS canteen comparison. Happy New Year!
This is a kit i would pay to own. Wish there where links to purchase the items but thats a lot of work
Where do you buy all your FAK supplies? Specifically the turniquet, sinus airway etc
+Dustin Parsons Hi, I built the kit piecemeal. It was cumbersome to acquire all the specific items. I got the CAT Tourniquet
from Amazon. Make sure it’s an authentic red tip sealed in plastic. I also have a SOF Tourniquet from ITS Tactical. I think the SOF Tourniquet is of higher quality. The nasopharyngeal airway and lube I got at a gun show, but you can also find them on Amazon. These are some of the places I buy my first aid supplies from: Mfasco, Rite-Aid, CVS, Milspec Monkey, Moore Medical, First-Aid Survival Kits, ITS Tactical, REI, Galls, National Survival Center, Restockit.com, Prepardness.com, Bestglide.com, Going Gear, Survival Resources, First-aid Products.com, Amazon, eBay, Rescue Essentials.com, First-Aid-Industrial.com, Unline,... Hope this helps, Respectfully
do you have a video about all the stuff in that red bag? and how much did it cost?
chucklesRH Hi, the big red
bag is my personal home kit. It has everything the FR-1 has but multiplied by 3
or 4, plus a few extras. The red bag probably has about $1000 worth of medicals
supplies in it. This is a ballpark figure. I don’t have a vid on this bag but, I’ve
listed most of the contents in the discussion section of my channel. Thank you
Do you have a file that lists each item, cost and source?
Excellent kit!
Cheers
Are the finger sleves finger gloves ?
Where did you get the trauma shears and trauma shears pouch? Great review, btw.
What’s that thing called on the front, the white square thing with the x on it? Where do you keep your tampons?
first aid patch, AKA red cross
thanks for the video! I got some great ideas for my kit out of this.
Could you perhaps do a review on the things you have in the bigger red kit too?
I'm really curious about that one too. Happy new year btw.
Hi Prepper Skirra and thanks for chiming in. I don’t plan on review my home medical kit anytime soon because it is too big and cumbersome, but if I decide to do so in the future, I will be sure to show everyone all of the contents. It is basically 8 - 10 times what I have in my FR-1 and some of the components are of higher quality and greater in volume. It can treat more people for a longer period of time and the pharmacy is more comprehensive. Thanks, again and Happy New Year!
TheAmericanOutfitter thank you for the quick answer, and I'll just be buying the stuff in bulk then :) I've been gathering and buying stuff for quite some time now for my family but I still need a larger medical kit.
Oh btw, I've subscribed and pretty much watched all your videos. :)
Great video and well thought out kit! One question however. Regarding the sutures, how are you addressing pain management in the worst case scenario that you have to break them out?
Cory McKee Hi, Dr. Numb topical anesthetic will provide some pain relief. It is used at tattoo parlors. I also have some high quality prescribed pain relief for the after effects. Respectfully
TheAmericanOutfitter
Excellent! I'll have to take a look at that product! Thanks for the info!
I don’t understand how you got all this to fit inside there. I have the same pouch and there’s no way I could fit half of the items you have. Am I missing something? Just curious. Other than that I loved the video and it is one of the reasons why I bought this pouch.
Impressive you can fit all of that in there, just my 2 cents - If I were you I would put 1 surgical mask and 1 dust mask, and a small lighter to sterilise tweezers. So all in all, how much do you estimate all the equipment you took out on the table cost? not including the pouches themselves. thanks.
Hi, I have a surgical mask in the kit, but no room to carry much more. It’s packed to the gills. I carry a Helios lighter in my pocket, but also have some alcohol prep pads. This kit is equipped with approximately $300 - $350 in medical supplies. I did not keep a running total, but this is an approximate
rough figure. The hidden cost is that the bag needs to be refreshed or replenished every two years or so and expired items have to be purchased again. Respectfully
Terrific kit, sir. I was wondering if you might be able to direct me to a source for your smaller 'kit' zip-lock bags. They seem to be pretty robust, but I can't seem to find a good source for them. Any suggestions?
Steve Cram
The small
plastic bags can be found at Survival Resources. They carry assorted
sizes. Thanks.
Hey Maxpedition,just had an idea.put a TQ pouch (removable) on the bottom of the FP-1
Nice kit, where did you get the big red home medic bag? I know a review or outline for it would be insane, just curious as to how big it is. I'm working on making a big kit for at home and I really liked the size of that one. Subbed and looking forward to more videos.
Hi Trevor Kukuk, I purchased my empty medical bag about 3 or 4 years ago from one of the vendors listed in my write-up. I can’t remember from which one, but it is called the EMS Paramedic Trauma Bag and measures about 22 ½” long x 14” high x 12 ½” wide. It is a professional grade bag and will easily handle 20 lbs of medical supplies. If you are interested in a medical backpack, you may want to look at the STOMP II or the Special Ops Field Medical Pack. Also, TrueNorth, Statpacks and Merit Omni make premium bags, but they are expensive. The choices are endless. Good luck.
TheAmericanOutfitter; Maybe you create a list of everything that is in the big red bag and post it somewhere? I am interested. Thanks

Awesome! Thanks so much!
BTW…I found where to buy the bag and I can't believe its only $60. I have been looking at other bags that cost 4 times that amount. Is it a good bag?
Like the videos. Just wondering where your getting all your first aid stuff. Thanks
Hi Brent Jacobs, I purchased most of my items piece by piece from various online and brick and mortar stores. Here are some of those suppliers: Mfasco, Rite-Aid, CVS, Moore Medical, First-Aid Survival Kits, ITS Tactical, REI, National Survival Center, Restockit.com, Prepardness.com, Bestglide.com and Survival Resources… It was a slow and gradual process. It works best if you assemble a comprehensive list of your must have items. Thanks.
How much did it cost to put this kit together minus the bag.
wotcollins This kit is equipped with approximately $300 - $350 in medical supplies. I did not keep a running total but this is an approximate rough figure. Some items can be removed and carried separately. Thanks.
Great video. I have a kit similar to yours but I'm concerned that the materials inside will expire. How often do you replace that creams ect?
Kyle Karl Not often at all, but I may replenish some items every 12 or 18 months
or as I use them. I am not concerned about items being a few months past their
expiration date. I may replace the Neosporin and some of the meds periodically,
but mostly everything else I let ride unless it is punctured or exposed.
Thanks.
Where did you get the larger first aid bag?
Hi, This is the EMS red trauma bag for about $55. Respectfully www.aliexpress.com/item/EMS-PARAMEDIC-TRAUMA-BAG-FIRE-RESCUE-FIRST-AID-AMBULANC/444357454.html
A small SAM splint would be very gud
sweet med kit , I'd take out all the scissors and just leave the one that will help with weight
And are you gonna make an unboxing video of the big red bag??
Hajj Quideng No, sorry. That would be hell and high water to unload that sucker. It is basically everything that’s in my FR1 but multiplied several times and the components are of higher quality. That home kit is for my family and it was expensive to build. I have listed most of the contents in the discussion section of my page. It is a long laundry list of items. Respectfully
where i can buy tactical scissors and tactical scissors pouch beside FR1 please ?
thanks man
Hi, try Mil-Spec Monkey, ITS Tactical, County Comm or Survival Resources.
thanks for the great video, can you do a video of the red bag?
Benn005 The big red bag is my primary home medical kit. It is huge and would
take me forever to breakdown. Please take at the discussion section of my page.
I have most of the contents listed there. Thanks.
Re your ammonia inhalants: great care MUST be part of the use of these items. If used to awaken someone with an altered level of consciousness where the cause is either d/t a fall or is otherwise unknown, the victim/patient might have a severe c-spine injury. The victim/pt might jerk his head violently to escape the fumes and potentially cause further c-spine injury. For the untrqained, ammonia inhalants are better left out of an FA kit.
where did you buy the bag i like the way you prepare or organize the medical pouch if you where to fix it for someone would you sell it awesome they you organize
Ulises Aguirre Hi friend, I do not sell these kits. This is my own personal medical kit. I
created an inventory in the description section for those who may be interested
in the contents. You too can build your own personal first-aid kit by simply amassing
the items that are important to you. You can customize it to meet your medical
needs or intended use. The Maxpedition FR-1 pouch I purchased from Going Gear. The
Maxpedition FIGHT Medical Pouch is another viable option. Thanks
did you buy your supplies online, or did you find them at a local store?
the supplies you have look a bit like the stuff we use in the hospital.
deadbolt56 Mostly medical online stores, MFasco, The Medical Supply Group, Restockit, etc...
Do a review of your home medical kit
Could you do a review of your big orange first aid kit? That looks cool. An item list also?
Hi, the big red first-aid kit is an EMS trauma bag and cost about $55 empty. It is my own personal home kit with about $1000 or more in medical supplies. It basically has everything the FR-1 has but multiplied by about 3 or 4 times plus a few extras. It would be too cumbersome and time consuming to dump out. Thanks
www.aliexpress.com/item/EMS-PARAMEDIC-TRAUMA-BAG-FIRE-RESCUE-FIRST-AID-AMBULANC/444357454.html
I like those shears and pouch. Could I ask where you got those?
MahaloMoFo Hi, I got the medic shears from County Comm, but you can get both the MSM Trauma Shear Pouch and Medic shears from Milspec Monkey or TheOpsDesk. Respectfully
theopsdeck.com/PACKS%20-%20MEDICAL/PROD%20-%20MSM%20Shear%20Pouch.htmwww.countycomm.com/premshears.html
TheAmericanOutfitter I appreciate the info. Thanks!
You know something I noticed most medical kits don't contain anything for burns if they do its 1-2 items just my 2 cents :)
Will you do a review of your home medical kit?
Hi Pure Diamonds & Gold, my home medical kit is no joke and that would be a major undertaking. I’m sure you can understand, but thanks for chiming in, much appreciated.
Hey!..Theamericanoutfitter..where did you buy the big red thing for first aid kit
And what is the name of that thing
Hajj Quideng Hi, it is the Large Professional Trauma Bag. I got it a while ago and do not recall from where. One of my viewers was kind enough to post a link. Please scroll down the threads under my video and see the link posted by Adam Waggoner. If that fails, you can try EMT Medical Co. Inc., Medical Bags.com, Galls, The EMS Store, or Med-Worldwide.com. Respectfully
TheAmericanOutfitter so dude, youre thinking of helping someone bleeding but you keep your gloves like that? i suggest you, very strongly, to ditch those gloves and get some that come on a sterylized plastic bag, otherwise you could infect a wound really quick with those blue exposed and contaminated gloves, greetings
kevin morales Hi, the purple gloves inside the enclosed glove pouch are for protecting me for blood borne pathogens. They are the same type of gloves I see in clinics and ambulance rigs. They come in a carb board box unsealed and the box says “Protective Single-Use Examination Gloves for Emergency Operations.” The police, firefighters and EMS workers in my area don’t wear sterilized sealed gloves. Even my dentist only uses regular examination gloves. Sterilized gloves are mostly used at hospitals by surgeons. They are more expensive and difficult to crush down and fold up. They come in a waxy type wrapper and are made by Dynarex. Respectfully
Holy! Really? In my university we aren't allowed to use those, some clinics use them for exploration purposes but not for treating open wounds, I, as I am on Mexico use sterilised ambiderm gloves, each glove comes wrapped on its little bag, and sterile, a $15 dollar box gave me like 200 gloves, obviously they aren't surgeon gloves but they are sterilised for the protection of my patient and myself, I would still recommend sterilised gloves (for legal purposes). Great video anyway.
You that the big bag is only 300 dollars
Or the small one you reviewed
Have you considered doing a video on your Large Professional Trauma Bag?
Vincent Mancini Hi, the big red bag contains too many little items and it would be some undertaking to unpack all that stuff, but I listed most of the contents in the discussion section of my page. It basically contains everything that is inside my FR1, but multiplied several times over and the components are of higher quality. Respectfully
+TheAmericanOutfitter what is the brand of the big bag?
Thanks
Where do you buys them
Medical kits?
Hi, the Maxpedition FR1 pouch can be purchased online, but it comes empty. The first-aid kit (FAK) I shared in the video is my own custom built system. You can make a list of your desired items and then purchase medical supplies online or at various
pharmacies and build you own custom FAK to meet your specifications. Respectfully
any kits for lifeguards? suggestions
One Account I am not well versed on lifeguard stations. I would think a good pair
of bino’s would be your primary tool of observation to spot trouble at a
distance. I would also suspect that waterproofing and lightweight portability
would be key components to building a proper kit. Search around TH-cam, you
might find someone who has already built a custom kit. Thanks.
That is very. Good but the npa isvl not sterl
Were can I get one
Hi, the Maxpedition FR1 medical pouch can be found Internet from various online vendors. The contents are my own. It is a custom built system.
it would have been nice to see how everything was packed in your pouch. the quick shot you had just wasn't really clear enough. still a very nice video though.
Hi LMR187, please take a look at my Maxpedition bottle holder video. I briefly showed the FR-1 at about the 9 minute mark. There are literally a thousand and one ways to pack this kit and I’m sure everyone will do it in a way that is most convenient to them. I used a lot of mini kits (bleeding, blisters, burns, dental, pharmacy) within the pouch, which is my style of packing. I like to be organized because often I only need to pull out one kit to render treatment to myself. Enjoy.
Well it's just always interesting to see how different people organize their kits. I am going through my kit again to pack it a little more efficiently so I'm constantly watching videos for ideas.
I can't believe you got all that stuff in that pouch wow. You would be better off with disposable scapula then an Xacto knife. Remember tampons just absorb blood they don't stop it.
+Steve Hancock Hi, yes, the kit is filled to the gills. The tampon is handy for nose bleeds and punctures. It is also handy for injuries between the fingers or toes. It can also be used as gauze packing inside the mouth. They can also serve as improvised
hearing protection in a pinch. It might also help some unprepared teenage daughter. There are many good uses for that funny looking gauze like implement. I also have a sterile disposable surgical blade in the kit. It can be seen at approx. 17:44. Stay safe, respectfully
+TheAmericanOutfitter All good usage for a tampon but I have seen people put them in there kits thinking it is a blood stopper. I see you had the surgical blade. i just find having a handle on it gives you much more control and takes up little space. But wow what a great kit. Well thought out.
+Steve Hancock If anyone is interested in survival the greatest ideas that ive had was by following the Survivor Crusher System
(just google it) definately the no.1 survival that I have ever followed.
Very complete first aid kit, but it’s a bit of an overkill, you have a lot of repetition and a lot of unnecessary stuff and stuff that should be elsewhere in your kit, not crammed in with the medical supplies. You’ve also got that so packed you wont be able to find things efficiently.
You are also almost entirely missing serious trauma supplies, you’ve got enough to take care of non life threatening injuries but other than one actual tourniquet (you have that staged wrong by the way) you have nothing to deal with life threatening bleeding. You need to eliminate some of the unnecessary and repeated stuff and at a minimum add some compressed gauze and a pressure dressing, but hemostatic gauze would be better generally speaking, chest seals seals would be another nice thing to have, and so would a decompression needle.
A burn dressing could also be very useful in a kit like that, and where are your cravats? You should have at least two of those, but preferably three or four, they are a multi use item and could replace most of those gauze pads.
I would like to buy on$$
skip to 6:12 for stuff iside
Too many items. Much of that is not needed.
Too long video, you could make it shorter
Too much stuff, too many kind of gaz and too much stuff. Made it slimer and more multi use. The best med kit isn't the most bigger, its the most versatile.
Dental stuff shouln't be there, put this in your hygiene pouch...
1 tourniquet will be ok or maybe 1 more in rober.
Tampon come on dude use other stuff

Come on dude, and dont hate I'm a experimented nurse lol
I'm not following your logic with picking his kit apart. It's an individualized kit that works for him and he's done an outstanding job with it. If you really are an experienced nurse, I'm sure you've heard of dermabond. All it is, is super/crazy glue used to approximate the edges of an open wound. Superglue might not be medical grade, but it definitely works in a pinch.
As an experienced nurse myself & trained in pre-hospital med, super glue is GREAT! Sterile or certainly clean and works terrific for closing small wounds plus will stay in place until wound is healed. 'Natch, clean the wound etc. first. Nothing wrong with sugar (diabetics frequently keep several hard candies with them when their on-board serum glucose gets low. Yes, a tube of 15g or 30g Glutose would be better ... Tampons wok well when you don't happen to have a Rino-rocket handy. I do take issue with the ammonia inhalants. Not a good idea to keep in a kit. Too much of a risk of someone using them on someone with an altered ALOC (altered level of conscious -- i.e., unconscious or knocked goofy) because the cause could be a c-spine injury. All you need is a patient to jerk away from ammonia nastiness and complicate an already injured neck.
