Hey Nutnfancy and fellow TNPrs, has anyone found a decent envelope/pouch for this kit? I mean the Mylar one. I have looked for weeks and cannot find a seller for the NSN that Nutn' gave, and anything I find for an alternative is either too flimsy or too bulky for the level 1 kits. Thanks everyone for any help you can give.
Seriously even if someone doesnt like guns could benefit from this video! I need to update my first aid kit and I am very thankful that you passed on this knowledge!
hey TNPrs if you want a similar even tougher bag rei sells waterproof map bags for storing maps while hiking and what not. i think there about $5 and I just used one to build my level one and it works great. Also its the perfect size to slip into a camel back sleeve of a back pack which makes it easy to find fast!
Just finished building my Level 1 kit. Used 6x9 6mil plastic bags from RoyalBags. statmedical for cheap prices on good med stuff. Also lcmlab.com for the testtubes.
I'm so excited to have a few built and resting in places for when I need them. Time to begin Level 2!
i took 10 months of lifeguard training (still in training to advance from swim instructor to lifeguard) and within that training i have gotten a huge amount of first aid knowledge.
at one point i did get into a situation in which i had to act quickly. there was a serious accident involving a guillitine-like paper cutter and one of my buddies in grade 11.
i did manage to get it under control but my friend still has tendon damage from the wound
what i really took from that experience was that th
If you are gonna be carrying sutures you should also have a small pair of hemostats for suturing. You could also use them to remove splinters or for other various things. They do not take up very much space at all. Thanks for the great vid.
I used 4 mil poly bags in my previous lab life, they are very tough and an easy alternative to the document bag. 4 mil=0.004" very tough we stored sharp metal parts in them for analysis. $5 for 100 4"x6" cheap. search Lab Safety Supply. Great vid thanks nutn. they also carry all sorts of cool leakproof containers.
@ID1423GERBER I got mine on eBay. Either Nutn or USNERDOC recommended size 3-0 or 4-0 and nylon or mono-filament thread (NOT "gut"). They should come with a cutting needle.
Thank you NFP for posting this vid. I assembled one of these about 3 months ago and it seems to come out of my backpack twice a week. Some of the more handy items in my personal IFAK are allergy meds, aleve liqui-gels and pamprin for my cranky wife ;)! Haha thank NFP, keep these videos coming. I see a TV show in your future..
Been putting together my own level 1 first aid kit and found a hidden "bonus." Bought a bunch of stuff from the local drug store, and most of the things were applicable to a medical flexible spending account (FSA)! That's like having a 30% discount, depending on your tax bracket.
Dear nutnfancy,I'm going hunting this year in the rocky mountains of Colorado.Should I bring a level 1 or 2.Some other men are bringing kits but what if they don't have all the good stuff.Thats why I'm bringing my own to be prepared for whatever happens up there.Please write back.
@Shanex429 Sorry but you're wrong. I have a first aid kit, 4sevens Quark AA2, repair kit all strapped to the outside of my maxpedition backpack. People think I am such a dork but one time, the power went out inside the auditorium and I was the only one who could see. Preparedness ftw
Believe it or not ive been in to the outdoors for over 11 years and am just now making a first aid kit after hurting myself on my last outing. I bought a Lifeline kit and have added to it according to this video, shure enough it didnt include surgipads or non-stick pads, something you should think of adding to this kit would be visine or something to rinse an eye and more important sugar packets in case you have a diabetic in your group.As always love the videos, keep up the good work.thank you!
In case no one else has mentioned, though I'm sure USNERDoc probably has, you can get that type of bag from loksak(dot)com. They're the ones USNERDoc uses for his Level 1 FAK.
I got 50 5ml transport tubes on ebay for ten bucks. I tried all over for the envelopes and nobody I found will sell them to civilians. Ended up going with loksak bags instead. Thanks Nutnfancy, I can't get enough of your philosophy vids.
Nonadhererant bandages keep wound area moist and helps promote infection. Dry dressings are more appropriate. Saturating bandage with H2O for 10 min will help loosen adequately to remove.
Hydrogen peroxide is essentially water that bubbles: H2 O2. It has NO antimicrobial properties. It is good for loosening/cleanining dirt from wound initially.
Alcohol is for cleaning instruments that will be put into a wound, knife, tweezers, etc. It is not good for damaged tissue. Bring more betadine!
Great kit, I got some good ideas from you. A few things I have different in mine:
1 - Benadryl is always good to have.
2 - I have Steri-Strips and a small tube of Super Glue along with my sutures.
3 - ACE Bandage not only good for sprained ankle but makes a great pressure bandage if you can't get the bleeding stopped. It can be unrolled and folded to save space.
I made a mini 1-2person first aid kit out of a glucometer case and it works purdy good, one problem i have with that is i can't include things like an ice pack :( any suggestions. where do you find the single use polysporin's or antibiotic cream
Hey man, I like your review on the medical kits, i just have a couple tips for you one is swap out peroxide for something else, peroxide works, but it also kills healthy skin cells, and if your in the deep woods and having to continue to clean a gnarly wound i wouldn't use it. Also tourniquets are coming back with a vengeance. Yea, tourniquets are used for short periods of time, But you don't get that bleeding stopped there gonna die, so worse comes to worse they lose that extremity, and live.
Direct Pressure is the best way to stop most bleeding, for serious injuries and turniquet is the best way to go. You can also use a chemical that goes into the wound as a powder and becomes a bandage, it hurts like hell but it stops it quick. I love your vids thanks for your time.
Two quick things i wanted to suggest you look into, Vet Supplies can severely cut cost, and SuperGlue as a method of wound closure. Besides being used in some military applications as a wound closure, normal cyanoacrylate will exsiccate fast enough that no real toxins will be absorbed while holding a wound closed. Anyway just a suggestion. Keep up the amazing videos.
@bikin675 Please, leave Youube forever, ride a circuis ride, buy a total array of clothes, and shut up. His fake "tactile gear" is the real deal. He uses the stuff the military uses. I've seen you on some of his other vids trying to make fun of him when in reality you don't have shit on him. Your 2 year old typing also makes you look like a retard (most likely you are) trying to make himself feel good because you had a shitty childhood. So, if you would, for the love of Ray Jay, shut your mouth.
@holtie43 The "NSN" designation has been around long before they started calling it a "NATO Stock Number". I have seen US military warehouse inventory sheets from the 1950s and 60s that reference "National Stock Number" right on the page, and many govmnt contractors still refer to NSN as that when the military orders something from them. In fact in the last 25 years the only people in govmnt I have heard refer to it as the 'NATO' one are from countries other than the US.
@ianmanfredsengensen2 NSN has been called NATO Stock Number for as long as the system has been in place, it was used to replace the FSN (Federal Stock Number) which was phased out in 1975. it seems that the USA is the only NATO country to replace the "N" with the word National, all other Treaty Countries and allies say NATO. so you are partially correct, im sure in America you say National, but the rest of the world say NATO. source Wikipedia and w w w.nato.int
i love the first aid kit i made, this video was my inspiration for it! though i havent used it outdoors, i used it when i slashed my thumb when i was making a knife, and another time when i broke my toe. thank you nutn, in a way you healed me hahaha
I had no interest in first aid kits until I had to sacrifice my spare underwear because my buddy cut himself chopping wood... He actually told me my knife was too sharp! How liberal of him.
great job. I think people should carry a first aid kit in their vehicles at all times and not just for backpacking / hiking. Your kit insires me to upgrade and improve mine. thanks
Cannot stress how important those bandages are. I cut my leg open on holiday years ago when i was about 12. I had a 2" gash on my leg and my Dad dressed it with cotton. Worked great until the next morning when i had to rip it off and it took the scab with it and left patches of cotton in the wound. Not much fun.
Fantastic video Nutn, I know you rarely reply to comments but I hope you read them when you can and realise how valued you are within this community.
@gooyzit Are you certain it wasn't a Tampon? Tampons have been known to cause infections if not changed out regularly. I'm assuming only because you said she, that she was using it for menstruation? Or was it in fact a wound? Hope everything is better.
Great review and Information as always. I thought of one usefull addition to your kit. A small bottle of super glue, It works great on small to medium cuts especially where the skin is going to bend, like on a knuckle or finger or anywhere a bandage is hard to keep in place. Clean the wound, apply some neosporin thinly into the cut, wipe off the excess, then put the super glue on the cut and surrounding area. It will keep the wound clean, and dry, but is flexible enough.
Nice job on those kits. I must say that even if I'm not really into backpacking and stuff like this, I always found all those med kits you find in a store packaged kinda poorly. For example those you need to have in a car....
two things neither bad one do you think you can review the pocket sting saw and you might want to make sure you vid is appropriately synced before you upload exspesily when it is 30 min
Nutnfancy, the review is awesome. However, I would suggest that you switch betadyne as your primary antiseptic for Chlorhexidine, under the trade name Nolvasan. It has the same antiseptic properties and is less irritating (can be used in deep wounds with less tissue damage and does NOT STAIN). Also, Chlorhexidine can neutralize the toxins in brown recluse spider bites if applied topically ASAP. Just a veterinarians thought on milking a little more out of your system!
Iodine at certain strenght can also be used as a water purifier. i'm sure N.F. wants tactical and covert applications Carry both if you want to, Chlorihexidine I'm sure is much more expensive. Just a Registered Nurse and Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman.
Some people bash it, I like the lock on my Kershaw Leek. Sucker has never come open on me in edc. Now I have been using the Speed Bump, had the lock off coming out of work and did some running forgetting to put the lock back on, and had it hit the ground and open... But for my mileage, the Leek hasn't ever come open on me. I've carried one pretty consistently since 03.
Hey Nutn, you might want to look into the self-contained iodine swabs. It's a foil packet with a single, half-length swab in it already coated in iodine. They're not very bulky and very handy.
Nutn, thanks for the review, I'm going on a fishing trip in a week with my dad and brothers and we go every year and I can honestly say we've never brought a first aid kit (luckily we've never needed one) I've always wanted to make one and this video gave me along with your story about the car accident you talked about gave me the umph to start working on throwing one together, thanks for the reviews and adventure videos
Hey don't know if this has already been addressed but depending on you or your group, might want to include some anti-allergy meds, be they a few pills (sinus), rash ointment, etc. Don't know if Neosporin still makes a pain reducer/antibiotic combo.
@joeyp1994 sterilize anything that will be in contact with an open wound. Using a toothpick to apply an antibiotic allows for a slight chance for the toothpick to transfer a few particles of anything that you don't want in a wound. Its more picky then anything.
Does anyone know where I can get the MAF bag he was using or a good civilian equivalent? Web search has turned up nothing and the local office places have nothing as robust as those bags.
Hey Nutn, I know this video's been out for a while, but I think you might should consider covering your hydrogen peroxide bottle's with an opaque coating, like tape or paper, because the peroxide itself begins to chemically break down and lose effectiveness if exposed to sunlight. Just a suggestion. Awesome Video though!

Just a suggestion. Awesome Video though!
Nutn, I've been wanting to adopt a "level" system since I have so many medical kits ranging from pocket size to full BLS kits. What is your criteria (supplies, size, etc.) for each level?
i keep an extensive one in my car and a small one in my backpack during school, you have to be concoius about what kit you keep in your school backpack because of laws, but you would be surprised how many teachers dont even have band aids and some of the limited equipment they keep in the nurses office
@MagicCardTricks101 Well, Nuttin mentions several places you can get them from. Try the local pharmacy, or order online from one of the bajillion stores there, would be the next best try.
I would also check with the local rescue folks, or even at hospital for where to buy. You might get lucky and they hand you a couple of 'samplers' for free.
First rate vid just like everyone of yours I have seen. Costs me money every time I watch now I am rebuilding my first aid kit. Benadryl is fairly versatile and might be a nice addition, but I am sure all the nice additions can really add up.
@MrTRISTANCOOL I'm not sure what the one at 0:12 is, but the one at 0:42 is a Ruger Mk. II or 22/45 target pistol (they are almost identical guns, so it's difficult to tell them apart at a glance), chambered in .22 LR. Very accurate, reliable, and very affordable.
Hey Nutn -- love the vids and realized my kit in my trunk is sorely ill-prepared. Are you able to post a list of what your Level 1 and Level 2 kits contain? (in printable form, plz). Mange takk!
Im a paramedic/Firefighter at a busy department down south. We carry surgipads on our ambulances and guess what we call them Maxi Pads. They are the same things just packaged differently.
a very good substitute for the quick clot is called EMT gel it comes in a tube or in a spray version,( tube recommended). Its basically used for vet applications as in Dogs and Horses but it can also be used for ppl...
Its a collagen gel that coagulates the blood and allows for protection and quick healing. You dont have to clean the gel out afterwards as it promotes the body to heal faster. If you are in a remote area not able to get help quickly it can be a lifesaver.
When I dress a wound I make sure 100%that the bleeding has stopped then I will put the telfa on then a thiner as u call it a blood stopper then tape it with 3m medical tape n yes I do clean the wound with iodine swabs
@shadowblade145 Super glue was invented for the Veitnam war for medics so they didn't have to carry around a ton of stitches. The super glue is not poisinous to the blood or body.
One thing I carry in my survival kit that would work it this as well is cotten balls covered in vaseline its a great firestarter and vaseline can be used for multiple first aid applications such as chafing, sunscreen, chapped lips or hands, and nosebleeds. Its a nice multi purpose light weight item to have.
Great idea with the telfa pads because in a first aid course that I took, they just told us to leave the gauze dressing on and just put more on top to absorb more blood. It seems like a much better idea to use something that doesn't stick. I'm definitely adding the telfa's to my first aid kit.
me again, karen. the black bag u show here with compartments is exactly the case im looking 4.pls tell me where i can get a few of the cases? have my own 1st aid stuff lots of it. pls i really like that black case thx karen
In an emergency situation, is it legal to give someone in your party controlled IE: pain killers, epipens, etc? I'm no expert on first aide but I have done some rucking, one of the things I like to bring with is moleskin for preventing and tending to foot blisters.
Hey Nutnfancy and fellow TNPrs, has anyone found a decent envelope/pouch for this kit? I mean the Mylar one.

Worked great until the next morning when i had to rip it off and it took the scab with it and left patches of cotton in the wound. Not much fun.
Fantastic video Nutn, I know you rarely reply to comments but I hope you read them when you can and realise how valued you are within this community.
Thank-you for all your hard work!

I had a friend who almost died from an infection she got from a maxie pad.

@gooyzit Are you certain it wasn't a Tampon? Tampons have been known to cause infections if not changed out regularly. I'm assuming only because you said she, that she was using it for menstruation? Or was it in fact a wound? Hope everything is better.

Great review and Information as always. I thought of one usefull addition to your kit. A small bottle of super glue, It works great on small to medium cuts especially where the skin is going to bend, like on a knuckle or finger or anywhere a bandage is hard to keep in place. Clean the wound, apply some neosporin thinly into the cut, wipe off the excess, then put the super glue on the cut and surrounding area. It will keep the wound clean, and dry, but is flexible enough.

Nice job on those kits. I must say that even if I'm not really into backpacking and stuff like this, I always found all those med kits you find in a store packaged kinda poorly. For example those you need to have in a car....

Nutnfancy, the review is awesome. However, I would suggest that you switch betadyne as your primary antiseptic for Chlorhexidine, under the trade name Nolvasan. It has the same antiseptic properties and is less irritating (can be used in deep wounds with less tissue damage and does NOT STAIN). Also, Chlorhexidine can neutralize the toxins in brown recluse spider bites if applied topically ASAP. Just a veterinarians thought on milking a little more out of your system!

Iodine at certain strenght can also be used as a water purifier. i'm sure N.F. wants tactical and covert applications Carry both if you want to, Chlorihexidine I'm sure is much more expensive. Just a Registered Nurse and Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman.

Some people bash it, I like the lock on my Kershaw Leek. Sucker has never come open on me in edc. Now I have been using the Speed Bump, had the lock off coming out of work and did some running forgetting to put the lock back on, and had it hit the ground and open... But for my mileage, the Leek hasn't ever come open on me. I've carried one pretty consistently since 03.

Hey Nutn, you might want to look into the self-contained iodine swabs. It's a foil packet with a single, half-length swab in it already coated in iodine. They're not very bulky and very handy.

Hey don't know if this has already been addressed but depending on you or your group, might want to include some anti-allergy meds, be they a few pills (sinus), rash ointment, etc. Don't know if Neosporin still makes a pain reducer/antibiotic combo.

Isn't neosporin an antibiotic? Why would you need to sterilize the toothpick?

@drdquake2 im guessing so the neosporin doesn't get contaminated by the germs on the toothpick
joeyp1994 11 months ago
@joeyp1994 sterilize anything that will be in contact with an open wound. Using a toothpick to apply an antibiotic allows for a slight chance for the toothpick to transfer a few particles of anything that you don't want in a wound. Its more picky then anything.

Hey Nutn, I know this video's been out for a while, but I think you might should consider covering your hydrogen peroxide bottle's with an opaque coating, like tape or paper, because the peroxide itself begins to chemically break down and lose effectiveness if exposed to sunlight. Just a suggestion. Awesome Video though!

@MagicCardTricks101 Well, Nuttin mentions several places you can get them from. Try the local pharmacy, or order online from one of the bajillion stores there, would be the next best try.
I would also check with the local rescue folks, or even at hospital for where to buy. You might get lucky and they hand you a couple of 'samplers' for free.

a very good substitute for the quick clot is called EMT gel it comes in a tube or in a spray version,( tube recommended). Its basically used for vet applications as in Dogs and Horses but it can also be used for ppl...
Its a collagen gel that coagulates the blood and allows for protection and quick healing. You dont have to clean the gel out afterwards as it promotes the body to heal faster. If you are in a remote area not able to get help quickly it can be a lifesaver.

One thing I carry in my survival kit that would work it this as well is cotten balls covered in vaseline its a great firestarter and vaseline can be used for multiple first aid applications such as chafing, sunscreen, chapped lips or hands, and nosebleeds. Its a nice multi purpose light weight item to have.

Great idea with the telfa pads because in a first aid course that I took, they just told us to leave the gauze dressing on and just put more on top to absorb more blood. It seems like a much better idea to use something that doesn't stick. I'm definitely adding the telfa's to my first aid kit.
