First Aid / Medic Kit

[the2FROman]

I would advise getting some real nice metal tweezers, because I have never had those plastic ones work. You can find some nice ones at wal mart around the cosmetics. Or a surplus store. You should be able to get them fairly cheap there. Anyway nice video

[PararescueAirsoft]

toilet paper i need first aid for my bunghole lol jk nice vids

[Wimberson2]

very nice

[MacieStaples]

I advise reading your first aid book, several times, and becoming fully familiar with it. In an emergency situation, you don't want to be learning this stuff for the first time.

[GalacticSystemBuster]

dont forget some good painkillers if you can get your hands on them (percocet, hydrocodine, etc)

Even if its not your own prescription, if you know your not allergic then it would be wise to keep a few in your medi-kit just in case.

Also, if you got some anti-biotics like amoxicillin or penicillin thats a must have item as well.

[NoracsBlackVenus]

Your pouch is made by Condor it is called an EMT pouch. In case someone is looking for one just like it.

[airsoftsurvivalman12]

I like the bag you use for your kit, but sadly I cant find it anywhere online..

Also, excellent video. Very descriptive and useful. You should start building those particular kits and sell them.. I would buy!

[GaloreMusic]

cool kits you should also consider life jackets for your other ones if theyre happens to be a flood or something. just a suggestion :)

[BigOStyle1]

Know that the experation date on meds is more marketing. The military(The military research project, Shelf Life Extension Program (SLEP)) did a study that showed most drugs can last over 9 years at full potency when propperly stored. Check out survivalmedicine episode #13.

[moonabove89]

@ryanjcus medication (pills, non gel or liquid) is usually good up to two years PAST the expiration date. I like your idea of buying a store bought kit and adding to it since that's usually what I do for my kits. I do agree with some past comments that metal tweezers would be better because they would be more precise than the wide plastic tweezers shown in this video. Overall, great kit and awesome video =)

[irishedawg]

once again, great video and great ideas... as a paramedic i might suggest swapping out ur tape and tweezers... ur gonna want something wider and something that will stay put-i suggest self adherent tape wrap (walgreens $5) that could also replace ur ace bandage too...and tweezers, ur gonna need metal... if your gonna be suturing, or removing ticks or splinters with them, u gotta be able to sterilize them. keep a mini bic in this kit just for that..keep up the great vids...hope this helps

[Jej171]

very equiped and very compact. I like!!!

[cordellrich]

One suggestion for many would be an Epi Pen.

[Rugghead98]

Good kit! My firstaid is also the deeper half of my hygene kit. I think u should add a J sewing needle and floss. Moleskin, put tape on tounge depressor, scrap ace badage for turnicate, pills, smaller tweezers saftypins deet foot powder vasoline cottonballs

[drcstudios]

Very Nice! Looks like we have a lot in common in our kits -- and i hadn't seen yours till just now...

[Rafper92]

About the pinsir,I prefer a forceps.And if you use glasses,it`s a good idea to mantain a spare one or contact lens.

[THESTEELSOCIETY]

Great info vid, thanks

[HarseyAirRanger]

nice kit man i'll try to build one like yours

[TheDeltaPapa]

Very complete! Thanks for the vid. 5*

[Alan1600]

why does no one have just normal plasters for blisters or cuts on your feet. i think you really need that. if u cant walk u cnt go anywhere

[VikingLady219]

My husband just suggested adding doxycycline to the BOB. Is this a good idea?

[ElizabethIrish]

FYI superthin maxi pads that are individually wrapped make excellent emergency dressings and ares super cheap

[RichieR4488]

quik clots can clot your blood and the clot can travel through your blood stream and cause harm.

[th3boy75]

Yes, buts its better than bleeding out and dying right there. Its just suppose to give you enough time to get it professionaly treated.

[smithjacusmc]

good kit, I have been meaning to do a kit video myself, later bro.

[assgreenemorgan]

I heard  thats quik clot stings like hell

[wetypants]

do u keep a tourniquit in ur kit im not sure if that is the right spelling but you know wat i mean, i think the firts item u showed is mostly like one am i right?

[1USAPatriot]

Ryan, great kit i am also customizing mine. I added a small eye cup and visine

[dcawsm]

I like your videos. Your kits seem very well thought through and I enjoy watching them, trying to see if I agree with your choices. Kudos for putting them up for comments.

If you want to keep the suture-set I suggest you add a needle holder, as suturing without it is VERY difficult. In addition it might be wise to try it once or twice at home. On some rubber or other suitable material.

When it comes to medication in a kit, remember that most meds have an expiredate, usually a year or two.

[ryanjcus]

Thanks for the compliments and well written tips. Its very much appreciated.

[geetarbube]

yeah...check out vids by USNERDOC for tips on field suturing

[P3OPLE]

all that and surgical gloves.

[kenandjasha]

First time viewer... great medic kit...compact size and alot of needed items- I didn't have a quick clot myself so nice job there.

One thing I would HIGHLY recommend, and yet never see much of on YT is adding samples of antibiotics and/or meds for any chronic conditions someone in the family may have. A quick clot will hopefully stop the bleeding but what will you do in a week when an infection goes systemic? In a shtf situation where you are actually gonna use that kit you gotta have it.

[alexrj2]

cool.iodine is to the nuclear. you need items to clean the wound; it would be good to enumerate the items one by one.

[TheRedHawk123]

Awesome medical kit Ryan. Always Prepared!

5/5

[mdcplas]

I'd get rid of the Quick clot and pick up Celox. While they both do the same you will not need to worry about getting a 2nd degree burn from the Quick clot.

[NaturesInstinct]

your gear is pro ryan!

[1991mcDigital]

If only Ireland had a second amendment My Dad is only allowed a hunting rifle and he had to wait 8 months pay 1000 euro and had to get a back round check why cant Ireland have the right to bear arms >:-(

[ssecretgirl1983]

Nice complete kit. Just one sugestion if your open to it; Liquid Stiches (or super glue). Seriously think it may have saved my friends life when he cut his head open on a rock when we were caming a few years back. Thanks

[fuckyouobama1]

Great videos brother!! 5*****

[RURALROUTE72]

Great kit!

[iSurvivalSkills]

Great job thanks!

[episodeIII]

great kit btw

[AwakeAndDangerous]

Great vid! That's a lot of useful stuff in a small package. One additional handy thing to have would be a a few tampons. Troops in Iraq carry them because they can save your life when shoved into a gunshot wound. I'm sure it would work on stab/puncture wounds too.

[ryanjcus]

Great suggestion. Thanks Man!

[medicjimr]

Well thought out kit Ryan great job figured you got married have a big honey do list and no time for youtube glad to see you back posting

[RunsWitGuns]

beena long ass time man

[Bowdeen]

Bud are you spying on me?Your kit is just like my except I have some Novocain and syringe Great vid Glad to see you viding again

[ryanjcus]

Ha! Thats funny we have a similar kit. I do have a syringe in there with the suture kit. Thanks Bro

[Bowdeen]

I have found that when you stich yourself up a little numbness goes a long way

Hows things with you bud Getting enough ammo?

[ryanjcus]

LOL I bet it does!

Things are going good. Ammo shelves have been stocked! Thats a good sign. How are things with you?

[Bowdeen]

Ammo shelves here are still bare Going to a gun show this weekend just to see if I can stock up on primers Shooting has been cut in half at the least

[WHITERACIALLOYALIST]

Good man. Thank you for the video.

[losplatosdemaria]

Another useful video! Thank you!

[rightsman123]

oh, nice to see you again.

[bengimon1]

great vid ryan, glad you are back

[stealthsniper100]

Nice kit

[charper3006]

Great kit !!

[ryanjcus]

Thanks! Much appreciated

[princejeff37]

Good job!!!!

[Paulie11355]

love it *****

[ryanjcus]

Thanks Bro

[sublimepatriot1776]

Ryan great vid as always, glad your back.

Do you know the nsn numbers for those field dressings? I only seem to find vietnam era ones with broken paper packaging, those look like they might stay sterile from the plastic. I have israeli dressings, but there too big to fit in a smaller first aid kit.

Keep the vids comen

...hate how when you reply to someones post it lists it at the top

[ryanjcus]

I think the green larger one is Sweedish. Dated from 1985. The only number reads: M7800-101010-9.

The smaller cylindrical one is made recently by Lily White Sales Co., Inc in Greenwich CT. 6510-00-200-6204 Lot No. 681

A-2 / 74-S

Hopefully this helps. Thanks Man

[Ninja8productions]

i picked up my quick clot from a gun show that came threw town. the package cost me about 8$. im a combat life saver with he army and in training it seemed to be a worthy thing to have in your kit. the science behind it seemed pretty solid. i would recommend every kit to carry quick clot.

[Raycheetah]

I prefer metal tweezers, as they can be sterilized with flame. Might want a firestarter of some kind in there, too, even if redundant to one in your general supplies. Nice selection, and a handy pouch! =^[.]^=

[ryanjcus]

Good point. I do have metal ones, just not in the kit. Maybe I'll throw them back in. Thanks

[POSEIDONRSW]

Nice 5*****

[rydawg141]

Good to see you're posting videos again Ryan!

[CharonXul]

Cool new video Ryan. Nice review and great info as always

5/5

[ryanjcus]

Thanks Man!

[12wrinkels]

[episodeIII]

Stretcher where where

[ryanjcus]

LOL I keep one in my pocket. It folds up. LOL JK

[jeepnicc]

Fantastic! Great vid man, thanks!!

[GlockAnimal]

Another Soiid Video Thanks Ryan

[ryanjcus]

Thanks Buddy

[sk8geezer]

Very nice kit, thanks for posting this... I got some good ideas from it.

[Ninja8productions]

my kit is pretty much a gun shoot survival kit. quick clot, sutures, gauze and bandages even some morphine + plus some other goodies.

~~~i got my quick clot from a gun show~~~

[zcm007attack]

How much is quick clot? Also, is it very reliable to stop bleeding in case you get shot?

[sublimepatriot1776]

About $10 for a 25g and $15 for 50g. Never been shot, but it was originally developed for military to help with gunshots.

[05MagnumSXT]

Sorry I forgot, this is not a criticism in any way, just a suggestion but you may want to add a disposable razor to the kit for cleaning hair around a cut so the bandage adheres better.

[asiansinsation3]

:| , that awesome kit, if somthin go crazy on 012, or when ever, i need to go try finding you lol

[ryanjcus]

LOL

[05MagnumSXT]

Just what I expect from you Ryan, another really good video. I'll have to look into the suture kit you have. Glad your making videos again. Keep'm coming.

5/5

[ryanjcus]

Thanks for the support man!

[kowboy520]

Nice FAK men..

[THEUTUBEHATER]

I have look everywhere for quick clot and I can't find it. Where can someone look for Quick clot?

[cabelashunter363]

@THEUTUBEHATER cabelas have them for like 10 bucks

[THEUTUBEHATER]

Thanks for the info. It even on sale. lol

[cabelashunter363]

@THEUTUBEHATER yup no prb

[6string21]

see if you can find an army surplus store.

[sublimepatriot1776]

Thats a rip. The normal price at REI is $10 for the 25g and $15 for the 50g.

[mattjmd1986]

good stuff!

[ChrisGilliam39]

Basic knowledge, familiar to any Boy Scout, but a good review.

[JeffTheDude777]

That's a very well rounded first aid kit. Good stuff.

[katiatomsk]

One thing I would add is a small bottle of Purification by Young Living. It can be applied to bug/spider bites. Immediately applied, you won't have a spot on your skin.

Purification also helps to stop bleeding and promoted very quick healing of the wound. It is an oil, so you can carry a very small amount with great results.

[mralexk123]

do you remember what was the store called, and what city?

[ryanjcus]

I got the pouch main street (where all the little shops are) Hyannis in Cape Cod Mass. I forget the name of the store, but it was a military surplus store.

[th3w01fv2]

Good stuff. Time to add more.

[joshthemyth1]

luv u ryan hope all is well

josh

[gamimenaki]

[aamrocks123]

Great Vid Ryan. Again, I'm glad you're still doin' vids. You're vids are always very ver informative and bookoo competent. In short, you give outstanding and relatively comprehensive advice. I appreciate it. take care of yourself!

[ryanjcus]

Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad my videos help people. Its very much appreciated. Be Safe

[m1ghtysauc3]

Great video. Great review. 5/5

[AllAroundBang]

love your vids, man, nice job on putting everything together the way you want 5*

[ryanjcus]

Thanks. Much Appreciated

[knifeguyeddy]

5/5m8

[JeffTheCanuck2]

Great reminder...time to update my kit.

Time flys, and some items are old now.

[ryanjcus]

Thanks Man

[blan101]

Welcome back!!!

[zoolanderfred]

Hi Ryan, I agree with you. I bought a store kit and fine tuned it to my needs. One thing I want too ad after seeing your vid is a suture kit. What size did you get?

[ryanjcus]

There was only one size kit at the REI store I bought it at. Thanks Man

[JoeDurobot]

Nice kit.

You could add some salt for dehydratation, and some sugar in case of hypoglycemia to give you energy.

Both are very cheap, even free from restaurants and take almost no room.

Maybe also a razor blade or a scalpel.

[360steven]

good video ryan keep up the good work

[4770589]

Looks like a great kit 5/5*

[AhhhSoooBored]

Do u know an online place to buy those stuff.

[seven47katana]

long time you didnt make a video for nice
