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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 :)

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.

@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 =)
