Do you mind telling us where you managed to get your hands on the Amoxicillin? Without a scrip, I've heard that the options are limited (mainly veterinary meds).
@caittscott: Pretty limited is true. And antibiotics are getting harder and harder to come by. I would recommend you saving your meds and pain killers for this expressed purpose - one can perhaps get away with adding 6 months to the expiration date. Rotate out often. That's my very best advice, aside from considering garlic and other natural antibiotics as well. Many blessings, my friend, and the best of luck to you and your family --GM
uh...WOW...to be so knowledgeable seems almost daunting, and let's me know how much i need to learn as my wife has a seizure disorder. any info on what i should have as a must would be much appreciated. asustab01@gmail.com also have you heard of Oral IV ;brand new hydration product a must for the survivalist. thanxs so much and i look forward to responses.
@kambelzful: Negative. You'll have to purchase the catheters, tubing, and IV bag separately. You can purchase these items online at Atlantic Medical Supply. Best of luck, my friend! --GM
@AnalyticalSurvival ok, because I was wondering while looking on Atlantic Medical Supply, I was having a hard time finding the tubing. I was only finding the Catheters and Bags. What does the tubing sell under the name of?
I added some instant arm and leg cast. I found it so simple to use. it just like a donut you simply unroll over the area and spray water and 5 minuets later its hard and water proof. best thing about it they were free from doctor for just asking.
If your going to pay to see the doctor. you might as well get free stuff.
The water gel dressings are awesome! My 2 y/oaughter bumped our Mr. Heater at a scout camp out in late Nov. I slapped one on her as soon as it happened and then wrapped it with cling. she hardly has a scare 7 months later.
Hey man great set up!!! I noticed however you didn't mention carrying latex free medical gloves. Its all about that BSI. You don't want catch anything if you can avoid it. Also check out SAM Splints. I always carry one on me when I go out. there really awesome and super versatile. Good Stuff, I really enjoy your videos and have learned alot. thanks for making them!!
Ok, I don't know how to use half of that stuff yet, but I'm going to get it, because you never know if someone will be around who does know how to use it. I have a lot to learn!
Very good vid! My experience during my service time told me to lay my focus on bleedings and trauma management. So i packed a second bag esp. for this cases and stored it in the team vehicle. (In fact, I wasn´t SF, so medical response wasn´t far away during Ops).
Damn anyone else feel extremely overwhelmed by this, its an amazing video but i just realized that i have no idea what to do during a situation where a medic or doctor would be needed.
Unless your a combat trained medic I would suggest taking an EMT course just to get started. If the SHTF all the bandages in the world won't help you if you have no training. We won't be able to yell Corpman or Medic cuz there won't be one to come running to help.
@TheBgcheez : Well said, brother! Couldn't agree more, although bandages/medications might still help if you're fortunate enough to be in the company of a trained medic who can properly apply these implements. Many blessings --GM
@rippinreefa: Not sure -- maybe others can chime in here whether those services are available from other vendors. I chose to outfit this bag with items that I chose for my own personal situation. Many blessings --GM
okay, so i agree with you on the trained medic, but i do have a very real world question...i have planned my 72 packs for my family and myself...so how do i then also carry a squad first aid kit? do i just include it into my bag/ lbe set up, or do i plan for a family member to carry the medic gear and split their gear from the 72 hour pack between the rest of the family? i know this may be a personal choice, but do understand that you have placed a lot of time and thought into this subject..
@ayres390: Best to have every individual carry their OWN medical care (for one treatment of most possible trauma scenarios). The designated medic would then carry diagnostic instruments (BP cuff and Steth, etc.) + extra supplies. Hope this helps! Many blessings, and keep in touch! --GM
Could you make some videos on basic medical treatments, like how to control bleeding, bullet wound to abdomen, dehydrated, ect.. somethign like that? Much appreciated! You don't have to go to fancy just basic stuff or like some medical basics/tips or a small medical course on here. I know it's a lot to ask but it would help greatly.
@Darkarch87: I have a load of video requests pressing in upon me at the present. But as I've told others, I will attempt to get to all of them in due time. Thanks so much for watching, my friend! Many blessings --GM
What has happened to all of your older work on bug out bag and medical stuff?
Thanks for all of your family's hard work getting all of this put together!!! I like to refer back to the videos as I collect parts of the different kits.
@fr8dog5440: The material on the AnalyticalSurvival channel is now arranged in Playlists. You can find it under 'Core Survival Series.' Thanks for watching, my friend! --GM
@AnalyticalSurvival Great! We are moving to New Zealand at the first of the year and am trying to make sure that I have everything well nailed down as far as the portable gear. We won't really be able to do too any of the home projects for a year or so. Thanks for the great instruction not just on "physical" parts but the mindset stuff helps get folks understanding that this isn't just a bunch of stuff in a sack but tools that can save your life.
how do you feel about using butterflies instead of sutures? also, do you have any experience with an Ascherman Chest Seal? i think they run under $10 and are foldable.
@jawbone83: Depends on the severity of the laceration; deep cuts usually require additional suturing within the wound itself with specialized 'gut' sutures. If butterflies are all you have, use what's available. Regarding the chest seal, as long as the pressure release valve decompresses the built up air with the pleural chest cavity, you stand a 'better-than-average' chance of stabilizing the patient until you can transport them to a capable medical facility. Good luck --GM
@ayres390: To answer your question, my good friend USNERDOC has some fantastic videos on suturing technique. Check em out on YouTube-- and tell him I sent you! Many blessings --GM
Great video series, I've been having trouble making a smaller kit I was a medic in a P.I.R. and to me it just doesn't feel right unless I can treat 30-40 people with my bag which usually weighs out at 30-40 lbs this vid really helped me trim a lot of the fat I have just one question, what kind of "band-aids" are those just the 2" XL ones?
@andrewubaldi: Antibiotics are increasingly hard to find, unless you have a connection of some sort. Unless you want to brave a possible kidnapping (and I certainly wouldn't recommend it), Mexico may well be one of the last sources for over-the-counter purchases of antibiotics. Also, some have recommended aquarium antibiotics (for fish). Check that out. And don't forget garlic; in large doses it has incredible anti-bacterial properties as well. Good luck! --GM
Floridamedic -- Thanks for your comment! First off, I congratulate you on your achievement! To answer your question: A Special Forces medic is perhaps more closely compared to a Physicians Assistant (in the civilian world). Our training involved general surgery, general anesthesiology, chest tube intubation, high velocity gunshot wound debridement, veterinary medicine, parisitology, all lab work was done ourselves -- white blood count, urinalysis, and fecal. Much, much more! --GM
Thanks for the great vids! I didn't hear you mention latex gloves in your kit. Would you keep those in the first pouch of the kit. Show us some more vids. Loving It. Thanks
Outstanding videos! I found your vids through Dave Canterbury's youtube channel, very glad he put two of your vids up.
Quick question, what guide(s) would you suggest medical novices use for instructions regarding application / treatment of some of the items you covered? Really looking forward to more vids. These are some of the most precise and concise coverage of preparedness instructions I have seen. Keep it up, we appreciate it.
love the bag what brand and model is it...Did you do any mod's to it or did it come that way,with the clear storage windows.... Thanks keep up the good work ...
To 'obtain' supplies, no. To actually utilize "syringes/scalpels/sutures" during a medical procedure, you're going to need proper training -- to say nothing of the potential legalities involved. Always remember the basic medical creed: 'First Do No Harm.' I would highly recommend taking either a beginning, intermediate, or advanced EMT course (usually offered at your local community college). Good luck!
Yeah, I was just wondering. I'll be taking an EMT-B course probably here in the next 6 months or so. I understand the legal problems, in NO way would I try to do it. I just want to buy them so incase I run into someone who IS trained I can give them the supplies and they can have them.
Also Atlantic Medical Supplies when I google it. it comes up with 50 different websites, haha. What is the exact website =)
Good stuff, man. Brings back memories of Germany. I had an ex SF medic (he'd become a PA through being an SF medic for so long) teach me a ton of things. Sadly, lazy civvy life will wash you of the knowledge and resources to put together a good bag like this. Are there any particular sites you might recommend to order from? It could be offline if you wish as I understand your situation. Thanks for your time. Former 91B/ tag along medic for any patrol or situation in Bosnia as well. :)
