I like to carry Orajel with 20% benzocaine. That stuff works so much better than those sting relief pads. It works great for not only bee stings, but blisters and minor cuts, not to mention you can open it and then put the cap back on, unlike those pads, that once opened, that's it. Those are okay for a wallet carry, but for a kit of any size, Orajel is better. Keep up the great work.
Some basic additions to the first aid section of your kit: - small amount of neosporin or other antibiotic ointment - Lidocaine or other topical analgesic for something like a sprained ankle - 1 or 2 packets of burn gel to treat and soother minor burns - 1 or 2 small packets of electrolyte powder in case someone is very dehydrated or hypoglycemic Also a few other suggestions not related to first aid: - a pair of nitrile gloves - tums/pepcid antacid - small book of matches - lens cleaner wipe for glasses etc - small amount of Vaseline perhaps sealed in a straw (many uses) - $20 bill - micro magnifying glass/lens for reading small print and general use - travel size floss/rolled up floss (hate getting something stuck in my teeth) - AA/AAA batteries, a pair of each - tiny mirror (to examine something in your eye or on your face) - A piece of paper/card with a favorite prayer or quote (mental motivation) - A picture of someone you love or care about (wife, kids, pets, friends) This is not suggesting to carry all of these items, but any of them could be useful depending on someone's needs.
That tool roll will be perfect for building a kit to put in my backpack when I’m out on the dirtbike. I’m frequently 2+ hours out in the bush on it and would like to have a small kit incase of breakdowns. Cheers, thanks for sharing
Good info and thought process. I keep and have used the Cheap 6” centech pocket ruler with some Teflon plumbers tape as a finger splint. The Teflon tape is good to prevent the duct tape from sticking to you and the ruler! Thanks again bro!
Tim you can put some heat shrink tubing on the tweezers so it doesn't accidentally puncture the tool roll. Also I would add a tourniquet but just use a strip of strong rubber exercise band or a strip of tourniquet that the people that take your blood use. When they take your blood and the nurse uses a rubber band they will need to throw it away after using it for taking your blood so just ask if you can keep it then clean it thoroughly when you get home
Some small packets of hydrocortisone cream and triple antibiotic ointment. “Tip” I use expired ointment as a fire starting aid with some gauze or cotton.
Thanks so much for this awesome breakdown of your everyday survival kit and for featuring the Tool Roll! Also taking notes on some of the items you mentioned! Super helpful-thank you so much for sharing 🙌
Really nice kit and video brother! As USAF VIETNAM ERA Medic, a retired Paramedic (15 years) and ER RN (26 years), I tend to gravitate to the medical side of things. Your “BOO BOO” kit is good for its intended purpose, but I might add a few things…(1) 31/4” x 3” Steri-Strip, (1) packet antibiotic ointment, (2) iodine pads, (1) packet 1% hydrocortisone cream, (1) packet burn gel and a two inch Velcro ACE elastic bandage for strains and strains and also doubles as a pressure dressing and even a tourniquet! The ACE wrap may not fit in the tool roll but it’s still worth carrying. So, that’s my two cents! Thanks for posting and I hope my suggested additions helps. Looking forward to future videos!
Fanny pack with a few wraps of gorilla electronic tape around the straps. Lighter, battery pack, cords, wallet, bandaids, knife, tweezers, mirror, pen, cash, coins.
Good, practical video! I use an admin pouch and call it my "go to" bag. My most used "go to" items are a good full size pair of tweezers, nail clippers, a multi-tool, and dental floss. Don't forget a small travel size of baby wipes too.

- Lidocaine or other topical analgesic for something like a sprained ankle
- 1 or 2 packets of burn gel to treat and soother minor burns
- 1 or 2 small packets of electrolyte powder in case someone is very dehydrated or hypoglycemic
Also a few other suggestions not related to first aid:
- a pair of nitrile gloves
- tums/pepcid antacid
- small book of matches
- lens cleaner wipe for glasses etc
- small amount of Vaseline perhaps sealed in a straw (many uses)
- $20 bill
- micro magnifying glass/lens for reading small print and general use
- travel size floss/rolled up floss (hate getting something stuck in my teeth)
- AA/AAA batteries, a pair of each
- tiny mirror (to examine something in your eye or on your face)
- A piece of paper/card with a favorite prayer or quote (mental motivation)
- A picture of someone you love or care about (wife, kids, pets, friends)

Thanks for the video. I forgot my zip ties.
Glad I could help
Basic but functional. There's always room for improvement & updates, also depends on seasons & locations. Cheers mate from Australia.
Thanks for cheers to you!
Very informative. Thanks for sharing!
I like to carry assortment of rubber Orings and different C clamps , they come in handy to repair water lines or any liquids.
Add some sunscreen to first aid kit. Small packets.
👍🇲🇾
So pens and advil, got it!
I like the purple....
Ha! Thanks!😊
you could swap out a few of the wipes with packets of antibiotic ointment
Hi there Tim. Off the topic here. I would like to know if you have done so, or will do a review on the Victorinox Venture Pro.
Cool kit! See if you can fit a bandana and a lighter in there.
If they are not helpgul you are carrying the wrong stuff. most carry too much
