After not having so much as a cold for 20 some years. I caught the norovirus...i am elderly and live alone and while my neighbors are wonderful about checking on each other, i sure didn't want to give it to anyone else! I was glad I had evrrything i needed to take care of myself. I was too sick to go get anything and i didn't infect anyone else.

Good vid as usual. Old Army field trick for the jock itch. Those alcohol prep pads in the groin area are great if you can't shower every day or two. If the jock itch develops into 'jock rot', you will know it as soon as the alcohol pad is wiped across the area. You'll jump around and unintelligible words will come out of your mouth for a few minutes! Splashing isopropyl alcohol in the groin will do the same thing. It will knock back the fungus till proper showering can be had. Again, as with the pads, if the itch has gone to rot (every guy knows what I'm talking about), the splashing will cause one to bite down on a tree limb or Crescent wrench for at least five minutes. Don't let it get there!

Vinegar will do the same and doesn't burn as bad

For the ladies, a little wipe down over your sweaty parts with some rubbing alcohol on a cloth will in a pinch make you feel a little more presentable. Just go around the most tender bits so they don't get ouchy.

Gloves, all kinds. Especially around food prep and human hygiene. Working with metal, wood, tools in the garden, etc. Literally, an ounce of prevention will be worth more than a pound of cure when you have limited or no medication.

Hey JR! I'm 67 years old and cracked up when you talked about kids with band aids and jock-itch! On the other hand, your videos are always informative and interesting.

Evening JR. I was told this by a couple of paramedics at work on building out my medical "kit", Do not skimp on quality equipment and supplies, saving a few dollars could literally be the cost of a life. Know what each of your supplies and equipment is used for, know how to use each of you supplies and equipment and then, know when to use these supplies and equipment. Good video.

Food Poisoning can also happen. I have Charcoal capsules ready for that. Get the brand with no added ingredients. Works great for diarrhea, food poisoning, metal removal. Also, Colloidal silver comes in various ppm strengths. I buy 2 Oz. Bottles in ready-made doses. Your local healthfood store should have a variety and info. Look for a store using the national independent food distributors. Not just a big chain grocery store. Also, can inhale Colloidal silver and peppermint and eucalyptus oil inhalers are awesome to help open sinuses.

Just took a suture and staple course recently, The nurse putting on the course said that while alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are good, they can tend to do more damage to tissue. They suggested saline solution instead. Simply saline in the can or there are also other products that are not as harsh. I believe always good to have options. I stock them all. Different jobs require different tools. Great video - working on my first aid supplies and kits currently. Had let them get depleted and out of date over the years. One of the things that we have done is buy the packets ("single use") of various ointments instead of the tubes. Longer lasting, less waste, less chance for contamination of the tube.

[@Lee_Proffit]

The small saline solution pods that are for eye flushing are a good add to a FAK as they can be used to "hose" out a would to remove things like grit

Actually, sometimes you can find stores where even 1 day past experation will be pennies on the dollar. For meds, mainly anything besides food, they Have to put a date 3 mo's b4 it Actually starts losing potency or goes bad. For short duration or short of funds until later, you can pick up products that work just fine. But Always replace ASAP!

Know where the doctors and nurses in your neighborhood live. Get to know them, if you can. Prep for them, so you can invite them into your survival group. EMTs are also great, and they are more common. Take an EMT course (6 months duration), if you can. Makes yourself more valuable after SHTF.

[@r.f.pennington746]

Just a reminder about colloidal silver to any or everyone. Great anti-biotic but it should NEVER be ingested. Great for wounds, bad, bad for kidneys. I'm sure the craze of drinking that stuff has died down maybe a decade ago...but I still see vids calling for ingestion. Back in the early 2000's, I worked in pathology in a state's medical examiners office. In three autopsies, I saw damage from colloidal silver. All three bodies were under 30yo.

Hydrogen peroxide is helpful for debriding wounds (foaming out dirt, sand, and gravel).

[@skyleen]

Great video, thanks! It's a good idea to take a first aid course, especially if you could become the person who needs to deal with emergency medical situations. I have a big Rubbermaid container full of all types of first aid supplies. After my nephew was in a motorcycle accident, I realized how much gauze you can used up treating large areas. Have lots of both pads and wrapping gauze. Tylenol builds up in the liver. I avoid it. Ibuprofen and aspirin are my go to pain reliever and fever reducer.

[@diypreppertv]

Thanks for watching!

[@robertharris3577]

Both Tylenol and alcohol are metabolized by the liver. So don’t stress your liver by doing both at the same time

Actually, a solution of 50% rubbing alcohol and 50% white vinegar is recommended to put in your ear after every time your ear gets wet....after shower or after swimming. I used to get ear infections all the time but after a doctor told me to do that, I never get infections.

[@diypreppertv]

Thanks for sharing Franklin; that was a mistake on my end. I have edited the video to correct that, and the changes should be live in a couple of hours.

Great video! I am a nurse and been a nurse for 11 years, almost 12. Here are a few thoughts. One huge correction. Do not take Tylenol if you have Liver issues. The Tylenol can harm the liver. Do NOT take Tylenol when you drink alcohol. Tylenol is better for headaches. Think anything above the neck (minus teeth). Again DO NOT TAKE A LOT! 2000mg max in 24hrs to be on the super safe side. Do NOT take ibuprofen when you have Kidney issues. It will kill the kidneys! And it is most useful for large muscle groups (anything below the neck) and teeth for the anti-inflammatory products. But beware. DO NOT TAKE A LOT!!! It will kill your kidneys. Be careful when taking cold medicines with acetaminophen in it. Do not take extra Tylenol with it. Do not use hydrogen peroxide on cuts/wounds. Does more harm than good. Another with wounds. There is an OTC wound cleaner spray that is non medicated but GREAT to clean wounds and skin. It has a massive kick to it. 😂😂😂😂 it’s super pressurized. You can also buy practice suture kits if you really want to be prepared! I have one (I’m a nurse and want to learn more trauma things. I’m not an ER nurse though) and it comes with actual sutures. I have been watching KZbin videos.
