The Last Resort Ditty Bag (First Aid and Survival Gear)

This is my TLR Ditty Bag that is filled with all of my survival and first aid gear. It only weighs in at one pound and goes with me everywhere that I go.
UPDATE: Here is an updated video about the newest version of what I carry now: • 3 Minute Review: Adven... And this is my blog post detailing the contents: www.armchairoutdoors.com/blog...
When it comes to survival and first aid please make sure that you work your way to a comfortable and safe amount of gear for your individual needs. NOT everyone will be happy with minimal gear. Most importantly, educate yourself and test new ideas out in a controlled setting before risking your life in the wild.
These are a few of my favorite items. Some I have carried with me for almost 20 years:
Victorinox Swiss Army - amzn.to/2Qa1K8i
Brunton Tag-Along Plus - amzn.to/2R5hF9d
Photon Freedom Micro LED Light - amzn.to/2xS9sMU
Fisher Stowaway Space Pen - amzn.to/2QjgKB5
Gear Aid Tenacious Tape - amzn.to/2QgAPI8

Thanks for sharing the contents of your kit. Everyone has different gear and it's good to get perspective from others. I enjoy your videos and appreciate you taking the time to make them.

Thank you so much for watching. I have been super busy but want to do a quick follow up to this video as some things have changed. Stay tuned!

When do you tell us about the tincture of benzoine? I was thinking to use iodine as a disinfectant for wounds, then I could use it to disinfect water in a pinch. What do you think about that idea?

[@ArmchairOutdoors]

I’ll have to take a look again and see if I mention the tincture of benzoin. The tincture of benzoin is a topical use item for skin but it really helps when you need moleskin to stick better. Tincture of benzoin should not be consumed nor is it similar to iodine. However, I have purchased iodine before as water treatment and thought of also using it for its antiseptic qualities. The issue is that I don’t know if the iodine used in water treatment is the exact same as iodine used as an antiseptic. I personally think it’s a pretty good idea but I would make sure you do some research or consult a physician first. Thanks!

Which wilderness medicine manual would you recommend?

[@ArmchairOutdoors]

I really like Outward Bound's Wilderness First-Aid Handbook. But there are many others to chose from.
