Thank you for all the great knowledge. I have to say I'm pretty fortunate. My 72 hour bag is also my bugout bag and hiking bag. Then I have a separate medical bag with a trauma bag on the outside of it. Where I live and work (home health nurse so I go to different houses) I can be to my planned meeting point in 12 hours max walking. Family now lives so close that if I'm working they will get the dogs as they are 3.2 miles from me. Then once we meet up can get the rest of the prepping supplies and head to a designated bugout location. Around March/April my brother and I are going to do a mock bugout. We wanted it to still be slightly cold but not cold enough to cause harm if we fail. Plus we are still ironing out details because the bugout location is new

Glad everyone was okay. As it gets cold or very hot outside i always worry about my car being disabled (accident, part malfunction etc).

This pandemic has had a profound effect on our daily lives. Since it started I began using one of three EDC conveyor methods: (1) Nite Ize belt holster with wallet, cell phone, small scale knives, flashlights and lighters (Bic or Crocs), mini IFAK which includes a rolled rubber tourniquet. My wallet contains a full information emergency contact 3X5 card for first responders to reference. (2) A removable 5.11 pouch from my bug out/get home bag. It's the removable admin bag from the front large enough to carry more substantial or larger items including extra masks for myself and my wife. The bag has a shoulder strap that can be tucked in the sleeve on the back of the bag. My 5.11 bug out/get home bag is a full on tactical bag, however being black it is inconspicuous so this shoulder bag looks like any other similar bag. (3) A shoulder bag (charcoal) made by SOLO of New York. I can carry all of the above EDC items plus a 10 inch tablet and a large Anker battery to power it and charge my cell simultaneously. The Nite Ize holster has a rugged plastic clip I can just clip to my belt and remove easily. This is my grab and go to the store conveyor. If I am donned in heavy winter garb I'll clip it to a 22" loop of 550 and throw it around my neck making it easy to access. I'm glad your son is okay. Happy New Year, Sootch, to you and your family.

My stepson was taking his first long drive of 3 hours after getting his licence. It was hot & his car radiator was leaking.

Being Spring it was warm so they were stuck in heavy traffic but drank the water as the traffic was stagnant. Such a simple thing & stored in his boot (you call them trunks in the USA) & you can wash food, wash hands, clean wounds, use to make coffee or drink the water.

[@evilfluff6634]

One thing to remember a bic lighter does have a operating temperature to cold the gas in side will not explain. So in winter time in the north I would switch to a fire rod or storm matches. And a go bag should be set up with stuff you really need and can’t find in the zone you a moving around in. Like water when in a desert what good is water preparation if you have no water. So when building a bug out , get home, bush , survival or glovebox kit set back in think of what you really need at the location you travel in and around. Most cars can be used as shelter. I would put in a personal location device in cars glove box if the car has nothing like GM’s OnStar ( remember even if you don’t subscribe to OnStar you can still use it for emergency) because sometimes cellular phones get damaged in car wreck. And all so storms can knock out phone systems. And I would add a sharpie to the med kit because if you stop blood flow to a body part that body part will build up toxins in the blood so with the sharpie write down the time on the person body in a place the doctor is going to see it so they can decide if it is safe to restore blood flow to the body part with killing the person with the toxins.

Started doing this after witnessing a bad accident and while officiating youth sports. Retail/generic first aid kits just don't cut it, so I started making my own.

Glad that your son and his friends are ok from that experience. Wrecks that total vehicles to that extent are never pleasant for sure. With that said I like your idea of a small EDC bag. I took that to another level with a much larger sling bag that I also use to carry other stuff with me as well like my iPad or, if I'm taking it to work, my MacBook Air. However, you asked for suggestions for that small kit and I do have some I think would be good. Now, these are only suggestions and you may like some of the ideas but not others and that's ok. First, if you put a trauma kit and a tourniquet, then the person carrying them needs to be trained extensively in them. Not just those but first aid in general. I'm not saying that your son, who you put that kit together for, isn't trained to that level because I don't know if he is or not. What I'm trying to do is emphasize that the training you need to be able to use that stuff the way it was intended is not the same as your basic CPR training down at the Y. A properly trained person could possibly save a life with that kit. An improperly trained person could....well, I think we know what could happen. Second, items for the overall kit. Heavy Duty Contractors Bag - It would be easy to put a heavy duty contractors bag in the pocket where the tourniquet is. And so many uses for it as you well know Cordage - Paracord 5/50? Too big. Bankline perhaps. Kevlar cable maybe? Could use it for shelter purposes with the contractors bag. Small But Decent Blade - A Mora? Too big I would think. Need a small but decent folding lock knife. Or perhaps a Swiss Army Multi-tool Knife. Snare wire - Would need training on how and where and when to use it for sure. Heavy Duty 12"X12" Aluminum Foil - Take care of it, treat it nicely. You can use it to cook with or boil water for purification purposes. Doesn't work well with holes in it. Ferro Rod and Striker - You were right about that. The lighter is ok but, what if it runs out of fluid when you need it the most. Mini Sawyer - Instead of that big honking water purifier you showed, let's go smaller with the more well known as well as decently priced Mini Sawyer. Save some space. Anyways, just some thoughts there. Good luck with figuring out that bag.

[@davidbenner2289]

I was raised that way. Dear old dad was always the last man out, to make sure no one was left behind. He had a whole clinic packed away at home. And he knew how to use it. I keep a small flashlight, a multi-tool, a whittling pocket knife, small SAK Classic, Bic lighter and two cotton handkerchiefs, with a small bottle of Deet from an old Tabasco sauce container found in an old MRE. Just in my pockets. I make kits for family and close friends that have what you need . . . that costs a few thousand dollars apiece. I give good, high quality gifts to add to the kits through the years. It is very difficult to carry what is needed in a lot of places now because the system and Federal Governments will not let you. Get a concealed carry permit so you can carry a .22 rifle in your pack in many of the places. I have some knowledge from old mentors that were fighting the enemy behind their own lines for months during WWII. Even dear old dad survived for six weeks with just a .357 pistol and a fixed blade knife in a far off place in South East Asia circa 1960 (he was being hunted). Me? I grew up nearby or with Dad in that World. That was my playground. Later in life I took a long career in a truly professional fire & rescue department, all hazards, as a firefightrer-paramedic (no, not a basic "EMT"). I was an advanced trauma paramedic for over 32 years, my basic EMT concurrent for over 37 years (I don't even have a current CPR cert anymore, on purpose! I'm done with death). My kits reflect OSS, forerunners of the Special Forces, Marine Raiders, Flying Tigers, U. S. Forest Service smoke jumpers, Royal Navy frogmen of WWII game, extensive Boy Scout and Explorer Scout outings all over the World in all types of weather, war, small game hunting (I don't hunt or fish anymore: I can't kill anything . . . unless I have to. It's not a "sport"/I did have a reputation of hunting small game with a pistol when I lived for eleven years in a wilderness area in the highlands of West Virginia), . . . and a lot of thought. I always learned from the locals, as did dear old dad. Hill tribes in SE Asia, Western Pacific Islands, forests of the PNW (grampa was born and raised on an Indian reservation), the woods of the East Coast, highlands of the Alleghenys, now the foothills of the Massanutten between the two rivers of the Shenandoah River. I'll leave out the 50 mile hikes in the mountains of Germany and the 35 mile a day times four days each through the Dutch countryside. Or the long swims for miles down Asian rivers, very short and stupid swims in the glacier fed rivers in the Alps, the uncomfortably warm waters if SE Asia. Ah, the cross consential fishing trip across our northern border. Now, old, broken (really, I'm an orthopedic nightmare), I'm hoping to pass some of this on to my now old enough grandkids (they have a tough enough combat wounded Marine sergeant dad and Marine uncles and aunt to also learn from). Note: you will pick up people along the way. Trust no man or woman; maybe tolerate them. Trust God. And get a dog. May I suggest a border collie? Sic Semper Tyrannis!

04:34 - That is actually a SAM XT, not a CAT. I am not a huge fan of the SAM XT as I find it doesn't lend to one handed use quite as well as the CAT and others. Still works well with 2 handed use. Much heavier though (ounces equal pounds). If you are looking for something compact, consider the SOFT. It's basically a rubber strip you wrap around the extremity. Not bad in a pinch. I carry one with me when I go hiking with the dog. Great video! This is a great gift idea for somebody who doesn't really have this sort of mindset.

Great! I’ll add an israeli bandage (if it’s not already in your medical pouch, I don’t know), a small plastic bottle filled with disinfectant (not a wet pad, you must be able to POUR the liquid on your injury) and a space blanket (which also helps you to be seen by rescuers). Greetings from Italy :-)

[@Englishkin]

Each of those few but very necessary items can be carried in their separate, very small, perhaps black "canvas", pouch on one's belt and be far less noticeable than in one larger pack. One thing that can be added would be a small flask of vinegar that can be a disinfectant and a simple medicine against stomach bugs. The only thing alcohol would be good for (instead of vinegar) would be that alcohol can ignite to start a small fire if of strong enough proof (usually 80-90+ proof). At least a day's (even if it's the next day's or rationed for several days') supply (2,000 calories) of small (preferably hardtack) crackers and jerky or pemmican (or "potted meat" or peanut butter, etc.) along with one's portable drinking water supply would be a holdover until one could find more sustenance in a very potential dire situation (like a sudden and complete or sufficiently catastrophic collapse of customary food provision due to natural or man-made disaster). Your "EDC" kit is very wise!

[@CallmeGNana]

Just a note on tourniquets. If you are going to carry a tourniquet in your go bag, KNOW the proper use. KNOW when to use it. KNOW where not to place it. As a retired medic and instructor with 25 years of prehospital EMS experience, I never used one. I did however see numerous incorrect uses. In 99% of severe bleeding cases,- direct pressure will control bleeding. A tourniquets placed or used incorrectly can cause significant injury and even loss of a limb. Take a First Responder or just a First Aid course

That's not the best comparasion to do about preparedness. Compare a car accident where you can be severely injured,but not having a visible injury with social insurrection,environmental disaster is quite a bit farfetched.

Nice kit I have a very similar setup but in every kit I have I include a silcock key. It’s small, light and if you’re ever in an urban area makes water procurement a lot easier. In my mini bag my blade is an ESEE Candiru it’s tiny but it’s a rugged little fixed blade. Other than those 2 items our kits are almost mirror images.

I would add a mylar blanket. It could help for shock, staying warm and dry, and could even fashion a shelter with it. Maybe a bit of duct tape

Throw a fire biscuit in there. Lightweight, small, waterproof and burns hot for several minutes. I make them by the hundreds let me know if you need some.
