Well done. I was a trauma nurse 30 yrs. and your med kit looks good. “Mosquito” tweezer is a must. Electrolytes and glucose is a smart addition. I may have added super glue and reader magnifying glasses but hey, good job.

[@spatialinterpretations449]

Diarrhoea tabs, recommended to me by a Dr who specialises in refugee camps and natural disaster recovery

[@cardiacbob]

I inventory my med kit every 6 months, and I always clean my instruments with alcohol prep pads to keep them nice and clean, even though they live in a fairly clean place.

[@IntuitiveIQ]

@@spatialinterpretations449he has those.

[@IntuitiveIQ]

I'm pretty sure he has superglue in a different part of his kit.

[@IntuitiveIQ]

I need the reader magnifying glasses, because I cannot read that super small type! 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄😆

[@hiramhaji7813]

Nice instructor pack setup Congratulations on the master instructor position

[@charlesbrightman4237]

ONE SUGGESTION: For the medical pouch: Add an inventory card with expiration dates for medical items that have a shelf life and/or are consumables. A quick check of the card will help one determine what is coming close to being expired or already is expired, or what one might want in the kit that was previously utilized and is no longer in the kit and needs to be replaced.

[@bowdiersackett6433]

Amazing how close we are in our setup, but I was Pathfinder trained along with dirt time and trauma training

[@charlesbrightman4237]

@@bowdiersackett6433 US Navy flight crew trained here with survival vests properly maintained by others. Monitoring shelf life items and having all items installed and accounted for at times could be a matter of life and death. The US military offers some of the best training and experience in this entire world. Also shown in part by others like Andrew here, and Shawn and others here on KZbin.

[@bowdiersackett6433]

@@charlesbrightman4237 never got to meet Andrew, but love his viedos, but Shawn is definitely a great guy and instructor

[@lordgarion514]

Can't really go by dates. They were literally just made up in the early days. The military started testing meds because they were getting ready to throw out insane amounts because the dates were getting close. Forget which category it was, but except for one group of less common meds, everything they tested went 5 years without issues, even though the dates were 2 years or less on the packages. Oh, same for canned food. The 2 years most have are ALSO made up. Even the feds admit canned goods stay good "indefinitely", and canned corn over 80 years old tested perfect. As did canned meat over 100 years old. And if it's survival your prepping for, then you need plenty of antibiotics. Get them at the pet store. Cheaper and no prescription needed.

[@charlesbrightman4237]

@@lordgarion514 "Can't really go by dates." Maybe for one's self, but when dealing with others, not going by dates could lead to law suits. Otherwise, enjoy buying 'expired' dairy products in the grocery stores. If dates do not matter, then the laws should be changed to reflect the new reality.

[@ross.58008]

Super glue is a must. If you use a kayak or canoe and have a hole, combine glue and charcoal and it turns rock hard. Great for any plastic repairs or tarps etc. Try it.

[@peterbogart4531]

T Y!

[@kevinstl9428]

Can use baking soda as well to "activate " super glue and make it rock hard instantly..

Thx Col. That's a lot of kit.

[@JavierBonillaC]

I like preparedness, but I also admire those who can do a lot with little. The guy that goes in with a lighter a multi-tool, a sleeping bag and a flaslight and gets everything done has all my respect. I tend to have all the equipment and backups but I wish I had more knowledge.

[@lastresort6828]

Appreciate the glucose thing and keeping them warm on loss of blood good reminders

I was well-hydrated before the video hit the halfway mark! Excellent choice of equipment that will get you and any students from point A to point B and back again.

Amazing Andrew! Over the years I have learned so much from your teaching and instruction ability. I have 3 levels of packs now. Mainly U.S. Army surplus. And going to kit out my truck with a kitchen sink. Thank you for the high level of service. Any man that began from an enlisted grunt and up into officer ranks is a true leader! God Bless you son!

[@JAEUFM]

I really like the multiple water containers, what will get you in trouble first is usually dehydration, if not cold conditions get you depending on the situation.

[@fishingthe910]

Thanks for sharing

[@andrewkeeton3627]

Ive had the same ferro rod for about 10 years now. Same condition as yours. Pretty cool when your gear gets that old

[@MasterK9Trainer]

It's nice to see a fully loaded pack once in a while. Most people focus on being lightly loaded or they talk about minimal kits and you do in lots of your videos, but if I was camping or bugging out, I'd rather be well supplied and prepared since I don't think I'm going to be able to move all that fast. I like how you cover different subjects and provide different strategies and approaches. There are times when one might need to move fast and be quick and nimble, but some of us move slowly and it might be necessary to move slowly and with caution. I also think comfort helps one feel healthy and good food, good sleep, staying dry and so on will help us travel longer or allow us to spend more time outside.

[@stevenkeithley4336]

[@TND_Bushcraft]

So you have 7 containers and 3 no-dripping containers. That is very surprising to me, I like it. I will need to rethink my bag containers, even knowing the instructor's bag is much more complete than normal bags like mine. 👍🏻😊🌲

[@winfieldagonoy]

All well presented items in clear concise inventory format. The best channel there is always for survival and craft skills content. Thank you very much Sir.

[@passthebreadsauce]

One thing to keep in mind for your med kit is that epipens are temperature sensitive. They can't go under 15 degrees C or over 30 degrees C. Otherwise it loses potency and will eventually do nothing at all.

[@backwoodstrails]

And the reason they come in a two pack is, a lot of times you need the second injection.

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

Awesome video as always Andrew. I was busy listening and watching to take swigs so ill watch again later to play the swig game.. im sure that water from my Geopress will be ok instead of alcoholic beverages... stay safe Mr. Lead Instructor..congrats

[@blackstarninja2993]

Thx Andrew, always appreciate your instruction videos. It helps me improving my kits 👍🏻✌🏻🙋🏻‍♂️

[@leeendley8009]

Great video Andrew, an excellent loadout you have there. One tiny change I would make. I know Dave and all the pathfinder instructors use the Ranger Grip 78. I have the 79, identical except instead of the Phillips screwdriver it has the corkscrew. I think the corkscrew is more useful, it can hold other items, can unpick tight knots, can screw the knife into a stick to make a spear, and various other uses. Other than perfect.

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Andrew 😊, nice comprehensive kit, I hope the course goes well for you and all the participants, if you have space throw in a pair of extra socks, wet feet can be miserable, and if you put them on at night they make a hell of a differance if your feet are cold, that goes as well for changing into some type of clean clothes to sleep in, following day you put your dirty gear back on, and suck it up,lol. Happy days, stay safe Major, best wishe's to all there, Stuart UK.

Outstanding! Great information and way to setup a bomb proof total survival system! Thank you very much and keep it going! Regards from Mexico 🇲🇽❗️

I edc a little ferrorod, a wallet Fresnel lens and a Bic. In the BOB, I carry a peanut lighter and a matchcase full of stormproof matches. I carry a couple of the zip-type bottom water bags. I use a couple of Amazon bugnet "suites". $30 and 1/4 lb each, so that i have protection while I'm hiking or sitting around camp. They can also become warm longjohns ,when stuffed with either the two Amazon 1/2 lb each "cut-leaf camo nets ($30).

One of the best med kit I have seen but I would add a large bore needle for digging out slivers or for draining a blister if needed. Large bore needles are way better than a sewing needle for slivers. I learned that from a doctor.

[@michaeljenkins6476]

For dental pain in the field, obtain some soluable asprin and crush sprinkle it over some partially chewed chewing gum. This puts a substancial dose direrctly over the the tooth when wrapped around and on the affected tooth. When a higher pain relief is needed just chew the gum a bit more and extra asprin comes to the surface. (No idea if this works with other pain relief meds. Don't see why not.) Useful on flights too, when the pressure change busts a filling mid-flight.

[@joshuabomar6974]

Great video Andrew, that's a perfect no nonsense load out. Best of luck at the advanced instructor course coming up. Your channel is definitely one of the best .

[@MarilynStangl]

Poncho liner but no poncho? I prefer a small dome-style tent, not as stealthy perhaps but a good micro-climate and maybe a couple of seconds for reaction time in the middle of the night! Definitely need a tarp to cover the tent for heavy rains and a camo net will help conceal the tent! In bear country a hammock is also called a bear burrito for a reason! Also, for a light-weight early-warning system, a small spool of clear fishing line, 6 small metal bells (preferable black) and thumb tacks and paper clips for quite attachments to trees! And a firearm of course! Also good is a local map (topographical), extra socks, alcohol wipes, anti-sting wipes, and anti-biotic creams, and multi-vitamin/mineral supplements! Maybe a coat with a lot of pockets for warm if needed or to help with foraging! I carry a couple of all-metal mouse traps and a small fishing kit! Great video! Thank you!
