Overland Vehicle First Aid Kit

I don't understand how this YouTube channel doesn't have more subscribers.....

Thanks for video Virgil I’m retired law enforcement You inspired me to go out to my Jeep and upgrade my Med Kit

Virgil. As I do my gear review and check my first aid kit I am reminded to include in the kit a copy of the prescription orders for my BP meds. I haven't heard you mention this before as an add to your first aid kit...but I keep these scripts and 3 days of my maint meds as a back up...just something you might want to mention when doing trip planning. Love your videos.

Virgil, great video and thank you 🙏 for you’re service. You made me do some serious thinking brother. Looks like I’ll be making modifications and additions.

There is a small 2cycle chain saw with a 6ft handle. It’s design for deer hunters landscapers.they cost from $300. To $700. You can sit on the hood of your Jeep. And trim branches as someone drives you down down the two track.

Great video. You never know what will happen to you out in the wild. My brother had to be carried out of the Sierra's after an accident. Stepped on a flat granite plate in a scree field. It broke under his weight. Edges sharper than razorblades as his foot and leg went through it. A good First Aid kit with bleeding packs saved him. No cell phone. Had to be carried out by pack horse.

Another great video. I always learn new things watching your content. Keep up the good work. 🙂

Great vid! I’m in the process of putting together my First Aid kit for my Jeep and got some good ideas from this video. One thing I am adding to mine is Solarcaine. Great for treating various burns and even small cuts!

Excellent video. Far from civilization one must be able to respond to first aid. Thanks again Virgil for your work. The time you invest is appreciated. a pleasure of this crusader one day.

thats an awesome kit. the one issue I have is that I always tend to carry extra supplies. but I guess that could be a good thing. never know when I may need it. Maybe a smaller bag like yours would be better for me so I can downsize my supplies.

Good video have to go through my small kit never given tweezers a thought till now and others you mentioned 👍👍👍

Thanks for the comprehensive lesson. The first thing that people should take notice of is the size of your pack vs a standard First Aid Kit which would be the RED. Kit that you pulled out.. I took Advanced First Aid class from a Swiss man that had been a medic in a lumber camp for many years. He administered and logged 3000 first aid calls. The thing that he made mention of was the size of the gauze packet in First Aid Kits was too small to stop major bleeding. You need much more material than is provided in those small packs. Larger material which you carry.

Grate video 👏👏👏👊🏻

Stop the bleeding and start the breathing. the 2 main components of TCCC

I'm glad to hear what you are, you are on the ground,i was in helicopters,we eat a lot of the same dirt, God bless you, Eck usmc

I always have salt with me. When you are in the outdoors, who can resist a swim in a lake. If you catch a leech, a little salt on the leech and you are good to go back in the water

Ok thans👍.

Nice kit very close to mine... Just some suggestions. 1) When it comes to tourniquets 2 is 1 and 1 is none. I carry at least 4 ( if a cable snaps and takes a limb or 2. 1 TQ isn't going to be overly effective) 2) Standardise your trauma bandages and again 4 (I'd go with all OLAS"s.... Very multi purpose vs. the other 2 you have) 3) In addition to the Tylenol might be a good idea to add in some Gravol and low dose Aspirin. 4) Splints are great but I carry a bunch of triangular and elastic bandages to secure them as well. Tape is great but much better for the casualty if your sliding a broad bandage under a broken limb than fumbling with a roll of gun tape. 5) Lose the ACS (Asherman Chest Seal) proven ineffective, stick with the HALOs. 6) I see the OPA there, you need to be very careful using it and they are NOT 1 size fits all so.... 7) Add some cold packs 8) The pen light is nice but I also have a headlamp in my kit for better illumination . 9) You said it Black gloves are great for LCF (Look Cool Factor) but not very good for blood sweeps especially in low light. But again great video. Thanks

Nice

great topic Virgil, do they still have shell dressings?
