He says that CPR is a 'very easy thing to do'. In a first aid class it might be very easy to do for a minute or two. In an actual emergency it will probably not revive someone and you will need to do it until a rescue team arrives (assuming that one is coming). People who have actually done it for an hour or more claim that it is exhausting.

always welcome you expanding on any first aid kits, packaging, responding trauma, etc. We all will face situations in our lives where these kits and preperation can and do make a difference. Ex. late on a cold, dark winter monday evening left my office drove two blocks sat at a traffic light ... the only car stationary at a red light at a four way intersection that included 18 lanes single witness to a pedestrian crossing against traffic and being hit at high speed and having his leg removed which landed about five yards in front on my car hood. This person was also carried / thrown another 10 yards. driver of car also in bad shape from glass and impact happened in seconds with no one else around eventually parents that live near-by drove out to check on delay of son returning from the store they arrived at scene and husband also experienced massive heart issues all in seconds you get the idea... in seconds when you least expect it minor and extreme injuries will require those able to lend immediate assistance -often when adrenaline is at an all time high Thanks

First, cut down on the coffee! Thank you on the presentation. Good information. The tweezers are simple bandage tweezers they sell for about $10. The hospitals throw them away after suturing. Remember the medical motto "First, thou shall do no harm"! You need to get yourself into first aid courses to know how to use the items in your kit. If you're going into the back country, you need to go to a Wilderness First Responder course at a minimum. Get certifications and licenses, because if you do something, like suturing, and you are not certified and licensed, you open yourself up to criminal and civil lawsuits. And no, the good Samaritan laws will not protect you.

If you're doing anything more advanced than that, you probably know SI anyway or are quickly learning it.

They go well with the first aid/medical packs because when those things happen when camping, even if you have to leave, it's at least somewhat of a relief to get something other than a solid toothache which is extremely annoying or a filling that pops out and you can't do anything about it, even if it's only for a couple of days.

"You don't want to use a tourniquet unless your legs torn off" I'm sorry, but if I have an arterial bleed from my limb, I sure hope someone/I use/uses a tourniquet and calls 911, or uses an in-reach, seeing how someone can bleed out in 3 minutes or less
@Mel-qr5ob3 жыл бұрын
Tourniquets applied incorrectly cause you to bleed out faster. That's why you only apply it when you will 100% die without it, eg your limb was chopped and is bleeding everywhere and the cross section is too big to cover... because then hey, at least they tried. If theres a slim chance you will survive without the tourniquet then its better to go without, because the tourniquetless--chance is actually larger than the amateur-tourniquet-chance.
@Mel-qr5ob3 жыл бұрын
Studies have shown that for arterial wounds, a tourniquet applied by medical professionals, or trained members of the public, doesn't increase your chance of survival when compared to other methods of applying pressure. However a tourniquet has been shown to have aditional risk of shock, nerve damage and arterial damage than other pressure application methods. (Note, these side affects are even when it IS applied correctly, incorrect applucations by untrained or out of practice people will increases risk of death compared to other methods via speeding up blood loss)
@Mel-qr5ob3 жыл бұрын
Essentially, a tourniquet should only be applied if the wound is too large for the materials you have at hand (eg, chopped leg would probably need 4-6 shirts worth of material... you probably don't have that much in your first aid kit even if you took off the clothes of everyone present to help bolster it. That is a situation for a tourniquet. Bullet that hit artery? Not good enough, prob just need a single shirt worth. Stabbed with a sharp stick that hit an artery? Not good enough, again, shirt worth. Leg crushed by truck? Yep, good enough reason for torniquet)
@Mel-qr5ob3 жыл бұрын
The general public is very misinformed on tourniquet usage thanks to movies. An untrained person applying a tourniquet is more likely to kill someone than the injury itself.
@Mel-qr5ob3 жыл бұрын
Another thing I forgot to mention about tourniquets, is that once they are on, they CANNOT be taken off. Taking one off without the correct equipment can kill the person. You get *one* chance to put it on right. You do it wrong? You wrote their death certificate. Take it off and potentially cause a heart attack(reducing their chances of survival by 60%), or leave it on and let them bleed out faster than they were before? either way you single handedly ruined their chance at surviving till the helicopter arrived. This is why a tourniquet shouldn't be used by anyone other than trained first responder staff.

@cplinstructor4 жыл бұрын
Critiques: No trauma supplies, if you are out in a remote area and get a serious injury, not a booboo, what are you going to do? I would at a minimum add a tourniquet, some compressed gauze, and a small pressure dressing. A nasal pharyngeal tube and decompression needle wouldn’t be a horrible idea too. FYI the “never use a tourniquet except for an amputation” is very old thinking, it’s better to stop the bleeding first then worry about the long term, studies show that you have at least 2 hours after applying a tourniquet before long term damage becomes a concern. A bad hemorrhage can bleed someone out in less than 1-2 minutes, you don’t have time for pressure or to worry about theoretical limb loss.

This seems pretty decent but I don't like how the shears are really small and how congested the pack is. If you take it out to grab anything that isn't at the very front, you'll end up fumbling through it or making a large mess. Do you think a few honey packets would work? Not only does it work for burns, cuts and help against infection but given how much sugar is in it, if you need a little bit of extra energy, just open a packet and suck on it for a while. Good alternative to just sticking in a Twix since it'll be smaller and have more utility. I also think a clean fishing hook and a short spool of fishing line would be helpful as well. I know I'm starting to dip into "just haul it back to town and see a professional" territory, but I guess it's just the nature of having what you don't need in favor of not having what you need.
@WillowPen077 жыл бұрын
KainTepes, I was thinking the same thing about honey! Imagine how helpful they'd be if you run into someone who's having low blood sugar, even when they're eating (diabetics, hypoglycemic, dehydrated or ill)! It works for pain relief, burns & stings/bites. It's antiseptic, antibiotic & antifungal, too, but it's got to be raw honey. It's also great for a sore throat! I've seen a box of (like 20) packets of raw honey at Walmart. It's a little expensive, but so useful & well worth it, I think.

+ZombieFighterOf2001 , good question. There is not a huge difference between the two - woven wicks away moisture, which can be good or bad, can be bunched up easily for packing a wound, and also should not be cut, because it will wave behind lint in the wound. Non-woven leaves less lint, and has slightly better wicking. But these are not big differences.
