[@paulkick7870]

As a first aid teacher since the 1970's, your up to date information is wonderful. I wish you had a different camera setup so we could see what you are showing us with a possible split screen.

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Hopefully one day when I get more support I can get a second cam!!!

[@lkhommes1]

Make sure to have your reading glasses in that pack if you use glasses for reading.

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Great idea! Fun to practice making fires with them too!

[@KillerSmurfy]

Here from Canadian Prepper. I am so interested in all of this. Thank you for doing this for us. ♥

[@SurvivalDoctors]

My absolute honor my friend!

[@michellebraakman5077]

I saw you interview on Canadian Prepper. Great video.

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Thank you so much! You are my motivation to create more! Please let me know what would be useful to talk about :)

[@PaEMT_FF9]

Civilian Medic approximately 25 years. Present healthcare job has me on the road approximately 100,000 a year. Sounds like a truly awesome kit.

[@SurvivalDoctors]

[@SurvivalDoctors]

[@diana4u2010]

Nate from Candian Prepper, is where I heard about you so grateful

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Grateful to have you here! I would love to hear your biggest questions about survival and medical preparedness! Our students and subscribers drive a lot of the topics here!

[@philippaclarke3735]

Canadian Prepper sent me, too! Surgical nurse (retired) here and I want to build up my emergency skills.I have 3 kits; major haemorrhage/trauma kit, an ortho kit and and general kit. Will be interested to see what, or if I missed anything important. Also have two small add-ons, opthalmic and burn kits.

[@catalhuyuk7]

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Awesome! Subscribe and check notifications! I’ll be hosting webinars with free giveaways in early june! I also have the stop the bleed lessons on my membership page which you can trial for free! www.survivenow.online/lifeline

[@BlesamaSoul]

Stop the bleed is an excellent idea, good to see Dr Tan highlighting even good first aid kits don't have enough in them as having the skills to deal with a huge bleed is good but be presented with a first aid kit that has very little within it to help is awful when trying to deal with the bleed. Likewise good to see Dr Tan highlight that buying cheap/knock off pressure bandages is not a good idea as they fail, been there on that also and hence now we have Olaes Modular Bandages within our kit as they work!

[@ronaldcoleman9370]

YES AND STOP THE BLEED!!!

[@greggmouritzen7478]

Great Video, Thanks. Why more than one tourniquet? I would go as high as four. The trauma source that could create the need for one , could easily affect more than one limb. You have four, so... Other reasons? -If one isn't enough to stop the bleeding, you can put a second one a few inches up to supplement. Like you mentioned. -You may have more than one patient. -Never hurts to have a spare. Yes, Duck tape and paracord. Space blankets: I suggest two of the space blanket bevies. You can stuff them full of leaves and have one on top one under, to create a good insulation barrier. Getting the orange ones give you a signal panel as well. Don't forget your iodine for the Nuke scenario. Even though it is less than likely, you would put a large amount of it on your skin, and the iodine is supposed to absorb and gather in your thyroid. This would reduce the amount of radioactive iodine your body would absorb. Now for the more likely trauma scenarios, you can use it as an antiseptic and water purification. My question for you Doc: Does iodine damage tissue like the alcohol and peroxide? I was a big fan of Betadine.

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Awesome pointers here! I would take dedicated iodine tablets for radiation prevention compared to applying it on the skin. Diluted Iodine is less damaging to skin and that’s why I like using it. Diluted Dankin solution is also a good one to know!

[@NoName-jr2eo]

A good thing to use for what would normally be a rather minor cut that won't stop bleeding is Alum. You can buy it in the grocery store in the spice isle. I've used it for years since I have hemophilia. Alum is used for pickling cucumbers. It will sting a little when applied to a cut but it does work very well.

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Nice! I’ll read up on it!

[@golden3192]

Love these jump medic paks would love to own one im a mom and grandma we go camping a lot ton of ticks here too.

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Highly recommend!

[@WillieMakeit]

Ifak works for your dogs while hiking to . Just need to cut and trim hair back

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Indeed! I used to carry a dog litter in case my old dog got hurt

[@eveofsurvival]

A list do you can check and add things later

[@BlesamaSoul]

Noted your interview with Nate at CP and interested in your thoughts/skills, watched a few of your videos and learnt a few good things already, will watch more as time allows. We are UK based and chuckle at those here who think the NHS will be there for them when SHTF. (we are some of the few that use private not state medicine here). Like that medical pack, oh and 2 tourniquets is to add another if the first one does not do the job for you. Had some friends who served with the army in Afghanistan and they brought it home to me that upgrading and increasing the tourniquets on my IFAK/large med kit was essential. Looing forward to hearing and seeing more.

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Right on! I plan to be in Paris in October! Glad you are finding value here! Planning at least weekly lives!

[@diana4u2010]

If one tourniquet doesn't stop the bleed , applying a second one might .

[@michellebraakman5077]

Naloxone is used on someone overdosing

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Absolutely! I like the North American rescue refill packages and Sam medical has a bleeding kit as well! My students get a trauma pack from North American rescue when they sign up :) I have some links in the description :)

[@robertjordan4755]

One the first one may be applied wrong, and you need a second. The second reason is a human has four limbs

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Beautifully said!

[@tigerguitara]

Yes $2 bills are real in American currency

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Are they common?

[@Salt-N-Preppa]

@@SurvivalDoctors kinda rare, more of a novelty. You can ask for them at the bank. I used to leave them for all my bar tips.

[@wanderingwomang2l]

I have a friend who uses $2 bills for his main form of cash carried, he just orders them from the bank. He has the nickname the $2 bill guy.

[@Thes564]

Thank you doctor and yes my wife and me really want the course as i am diabetic with high blood pressure and i have a transplanted kidney however i have been busy stocking up on anti rejection meds in case i have no choice but to do a long term bug out at some point and i am determend to survive for my wifes sake. The other things i often have problems with is foot wounds so i like to take along plenty of non stick gaze pads and tape to keep infection from happening plus i plan on getting some really good antibiotics to put in there.I have a IFAC kit too plus a blood pressure cuff and pulseox machine and thanks to your video i now see what my kit is missing so i can add the needed stuff b efore its too late. Would love to video chat with you if possible for no more than an hour to get some advice from you do to my medical conditions in regards to survival/ bug out situations.

Stop the Bleed

[@jesseherbert2585]

Outstanding content. Question: as a non-professional, I've heard urine is sterile. Would you be okay with using it in your syringe for irrigation/flushing/cleaning a wound, in the absence of clean fluid? Second question: I've heard dilute povidone iodine is okay for eye infections, including pink eye. Also that straight povidone iodine is likely too strong for antiseptic use. If you agree, can you recommend a dilution? Last Q: any favorite breathing technique to reduce risk of going into shock? Thanks again!

[@SurvivalDoctors]

Hey! All great questions! Urine is not sterile and should never be used for irrigation or drinking. I would not use iodine in the eyes especially if you don’t know the exact concentration. Pink eye can be bacterial, allergic, or viral and are often allergic or viral so having proper skills to diagnose is important.

[@SurvivalDoctors]

What kind of shock are you talking about? If it’s just emotional, then I often do box breathing or 478 breathing

[@nogovannut9386]

Thank you!

[@SurvivalDoctors]

You are most welcome! I hope there were some helpful tidbits in there! What should I talk about next week?

[@fierylatina1]
