Individual First Aid Kits (IFAK) E3 Wilderness Medical | Gray Bearded Green Beret

[@AtTheHomestead]

I believe based off this video I need more then basic first aid training. I'll have to find a local class i can take after work. Thank you for the tips

[@dirtyroofer3678]

Check with your local fire house .

[@MacSharps73]

Also look to local hiking clubs. They’ll sometimes host Wilderness First aid classes.

As a ghetto paramedic in a shithole of a city, this is not only excellent information but highly accurate. I've used those materials and are priceless. Outstanding video.

[@dougdaniels]

Regarding the QuikClot combat gauze, make sure you get the combat z-fold 4yd length, not the civilian rolled 1.3yd length. Just a handgun caliber GSW will create a hole big enough to use most, if not all of the 4 yards. We just finished teaching a casualty management for active shooters class where we tested them on a simulator, and everyone was surprised to see how much of it you need to adequately pack a wound.

Great advice thanks

[@Flashahol]

The best eye-opening video on the subject because it is so simple.

[@jimcrowder7102]

This is great, plain simplified basic needs. I have only used blister care. But on 3 times I had to use on others. Came in hand. Here in Florida with all the boats should have one on each. You are not doing just a great job , but a needed service. Thank You.

Refuge Medical has an Amazing first aid kit. The BearFAK

Great segment. It's best to have it and don't need it, than to need it and don't have it.

[@dydzdk]

Went out an upgraded my kit after the last video...got most of the stuff featured here. Thank you, learning a lot.

[@prosdad6438]

This is outstanding information! I can't wait for the next installment!

[@MichaelR58]

Good video Joshua , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@annaphillion9269]

Thank you. 🧡

[@gumbyElvis]

Joshua, your store on your website is often sold out of things. When I go ro you Amazon link it would be nice if the whole kit was an option. I'd just order the whole thing. Great information. As a guy who served in the Army as well, but way, way down from the pointy part of the spear (CRYPTO Repair) I want to say thanks for sharing your obviously hard won knowledge.

Back to the "I can't believe I'm watching this for free" side of youtube.

[@jameshaberer4644]

Have you ever considered carrying an assortment of various sized tampax‘s to be used to plug a bullet cavity? They are sterile & the string would make removal easier once the victim arrives in the ER?

[@davidstrohacker3871]

On multiple videos, you referenced the addition of trauma sheers, mylar blanket, and a second or readily available tourniquet. Why aren't they available on your just under 200 dollar kit? ~Saber 27

[@hiramhaji7813]

Great information

[@ifyoudontfailyouarenoteven6210]

Do you think it makes any sense to use hand warmers when dealing with hypothermia? In conjunction with the space blanket? Or maybe they raises the temperature too rapidly?

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

Hand warmers wouldn’t hurt a thing, but I’m not sure they would help all that much either being such a small thing transferring heat to a larger thing. They make a Ready Heat blanket over at North American Rescue that is essentially a blanket-sized warmer like that and it goes inside I thermal blanket for hypothermia

[@Tactical-medical-training]

Handwarmers are better than nothing. Put them on the neck, armpits, and groin. When you are treating hypothermia caused by blood loss, you need active rewarming. Our bodies and enzyme are meant to work at our normal body temp. When it dips below that normal temp, we start to really suffer and can't form clots.

[@jeffhowell3310]

How are the passage way devices measured to fit someone? I am not familiar with that. Just tsome minor training on how to use them

[@clazzo8849]

would tampons work to plug bullet holes?

[@alimfuzzy]

Would you recommend carrying an epipen?

[@cultural_lettuce1]

as a TCCC/WRFA certified medic for a SAR team, I would recommend it but you can't get one unless you have a prescription. I believe there are companies that will write you a prescription and insurance may cover it.

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

If you can get one, yes 👍

[@jjames9803]

I have non vented chest seals. Should I change them for vented

[@Tactical-medical-training]

Currently, it is recommended that you use vented chest seals. But you know what works better than vented chest seals, a chest decompression needle. Go get trained on how to use those, and you will significantly increase your effectiveness. Training always outweighs kit.

[@nebifn8817]

Please can you explain why do I need trauma shears and tourniquet for being in the wilderness? Isn't this a bit over the top?

[@johnnybushman651]

Let’s say you fall and brake your leg and you got a compound fracture and the bone is sticking out of your leg and it ripped the artery in your leg. You won’t have time to take your pants off so you cut up the pants leg , bottom up to the brake, and apply the tourniquet above the wound to stop the bleeding then write the time down when it was applied so the first responders will know how long it’s been on. I’m not a doctor, just saying.

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

The IFAK is one part of a larger series. If you watch part 2 from last week you will see how this kit fits into the larger picture.

[@nebifn8817]

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret Thanks for explaining. I'll check it out
