Alright guys, today we're going to talk about my bug out bag first aid kit if you
watch my bug out bag video this is the pouch that I had strapped to the
outside of my backpack. If you haven't seen that video go check it out, it has a
full rundown of everything and the bug out bag. First, I wanna talk to you about the
pouch that have this in. This is the Condor Lite Rip Away Medical Pouch,
this is the same pouch that I use for my fire kit on my bug out bag and the way this works is, it
has a Molle panel on the back so you can strap it to a backpack or a plate carrier
or anything else. It has a strap that secures the main pouch to that back
panel and when you undo this strap, if you need quick access to this pouch out then
all you do is grab it and rip it away from that velcro panel. That way you can have
it secured to your backpack but when you really need it you can just rip it off
and take the medical pouch with you, that way you don't have to go digging into your
backpack or take your whole backpack with you to help somebody out an emergency.
Now, looking at the outside of the pouch is has a Velcro panel on the front that you can put a
patch on. You can see I have first aid cross on the front. It also has MOLLE webbing on
the front and a hook Velcro panel on the back to attach to the loop Velcro panel that you mount on
your backpack. I did replace the zipper pulls with bright red paracord just so
when somebody looks in this pack they have no doubt that this is my first aid pack.
That way if I'm the one that's injured in someone else needs to get to it, they
know exactly which one which one to go to. It also wrapped handle in paracord, red and black
mainly like I said to let it be known that this is a first aid kit, but also
to give you a little extra cordage if you need it.
Getting into the inside of the pouch, basically what I did was, the base of my kit is an
adventure medical kits
2 person first aid kit and then I just added some extra stuff to it.
So on both sides they have these elastic loops to help keep everything secure inside the pouch
and I'll just go ahead and start on this side. The first thing I have in here is a small light, that way if I need
to put a little extra light on the situation or clip this to my hat and
use this as a head lamp while I'm giving first aid to somebody, I have that option.
I also have a small back up knife in here for cutting bandages or anything else you may need a
knife for while you're giving first aid to some body. Over here I just have a small set of
tweezers, those will be good for pulling off tics or pulling out splinters anything like that.
The pouch also has these loops on both sides at the top and what I did was put
a paracord lanyard attached to that with an emergency whistle that way if I need
some assistance while I'm helping somebody out, I can just blow on this. That will alert
somebody to know that we need help.
I just have some basic medical shears for cutting bandages, a few sets of blue nitrile gloves. If you are handling somebody that's bleeding you definitely
want to protect yourself. I have a small pack of safety pins for securing bandages and a small
backup compass. I also have a bunch of assorted kinds of band-aids and adhesive bandages. A few larger
adhesive bandages, a whole bunch of antiseptic towelettes for cleaning up a wound or
cleaning your hands. And there's a back pocket in here and in there, I just have a bunch of
generic medications, Ibuprofen, anti-diarrheal, asprin, burn cream, all kinds of things like that and there is
some instructions in here so let me know what type of medication to use in a
certain situation. And last but not least in that pouch I have a tampon. Those of you
that know much about first aid kits that's definitely a good item have.
Obviously this is intended to stop bleeding and you can even put a bullet
hole with this will come in handy lot. Now moving on to the other side, I have a
small vial of liquid bandage
some mole skin, some medical tape, I have an elastic bandage.
A few small packs of Celox, if you not familiar with Celox, it works the same way as quick clot.
this is the granular inversion like the military uses for stopping rapid blood loss.
A small pack of cue tips, I have a bleeding and CPR guide. A wound care, burn and blister guide. I have a bunch of
different sizes of sterile sponges or gauze. And last but not least on this side,
a cold compress, you just crushed this and shake it you can use this to help reduce swelling.
Next thing I do creep along with my first a kit and I think is essential,
is a tourniquet, now this is just a tourniquet pouch that I got off ebay
for 10 bucks, but it's pretty nice, it has this velcro panel on the front for a
medical patch and this red pull tab, and that holds one standard size Cat tourniquet.
I also keep instructions for applying the tourniquet just in case somebody else has to use this on me.
I think a tourniquet is essential for a good medical kit, especially in a bug out bag
because in a bug out bag you don't know what kind of situations you may be in and if
you have to stop blood loss from a bullet wound or severe cut or something
like that
A good tourniquet could save someone's life. As many of you already know a good medical kit
very important for any bug out bag and they're good at keeping your vehicle
keeping your travel bags or in your range bag. You never know when an emergency
might happen and you need
give first aid to somebody else or to yourself and even though a lot of this stuff
is really basic you could potentially save someone's life even if all you have
is a kit just like this right here. So be safe out there guys build yourself a
good first aid kit. Make sure you leave your comments and suggestions in the comment box below
