Improvised trama medical . While on duty , i arrived at a stabbing call and was inform due to my location it would be an hour to 45 min before EMS arrived on scene. This guy didn't have that much time. So I raked the kitchen table clean and placed him on the table. Being a deputy sheriff in a remote area I had close relations with EMS and they had taught me little "EXTRA" Techniques due to response times to my remote district. I had to use duct tape , a sunbeam bread sack , to seal several chest wounds . I Then used strips of duct tape and scotch tape as wound closers. The victim was stabbed 21 times and had been cut from middle of back , over the shoulder to middle of chest. The skin literally was drooping down like a blanket.
When EMS arrived they looked my work over and gave me thumbs up and the victim made a full recovery. First responder Knowledge is so very important , you never know when YOU MAY BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.
Thats amazing
I'm sure that was a horrible experience! He was probably in a lot of pain and keeping him calm must have been a challenge! Hats off to you. I have mad respect for those who help others the way you do. 👍
@timmybmn may I suggest that you take a class on first aid . Also the boy scout of America have a great first aid book .
@timmybmn Theirs some Common Sense.
Amazing effort bro, are you eric?
I’m an EMT/ have been for 5 years now. Guys very important to have a trauma kit with you while at range or in your car. Definitely could save a life
Thank you for the video! I had a great day with y’all!
And thank you for the videos you do as well. Ive learned so much watching you.
I had just checked you website after seeing this video and inquired on a first aid kit for my plate carrier I really appreciate the very timely response and based on the recommendation that was sent I'm looking forward to getting it which I'm hoping will be later this week
+200 health.
Timeless comment…
I forget who I was watching but they said that in all the years that carried a CCW they only had to draw it once(never fired) but they had to use their trama kit 7 times.
I put together a GSW kit of my own that contains items recommended by several CZcams channels. The kit contains a CAT tourniquet in an outer elastic pouch, for a cell phone, so it's immediately available with the Sharpie in a pen pocket next to the CAT. The case has two zippered pockets that holds Hyfin vented chest seals, Celox granules and an applicator, a small flashlight, a tube of compressed cloth towels, a BIC lighter, Israeli bandage, nitrile gloves, medical shears, a nasal breathing tube, and a CPR shield.The pouch is made to attach to my belt, so it's easy to carry. I also have a small trauma kit with a clotting sponge, gauze pads, another tube of compressed cloth towels, 2 Mylar space blankets, duck tape, moist towelettes, a small Swiss style knife, and a few other items - all in a red pouch. The red trauma kit has a clip so it can be clipped to a belt loop or the GSW kit or left in my vehicle with my "get home" bag.
THANK YOU.
DO MORE MEDICAL/ARMOR/VEST VIDS
@@pianowizard2861 I have no clue what is happening. I deactivated my facebook app. My FB is still up, but I haven'been on it in quite a while. What is happening, now?
I love seeing some of my favorite CZcamsrs collaborate. SkinnyMedic is a wealth of knowledge for us non-medical civilians.
Right? How have I not seen this one until now?
Skinnymedic: I received your Civilian Trauma Kit today and I am very impressed.
I couldn't build my own any better.
Getting more prepared and working on more training.
If you’re a first responder, outdoorsman, hunter, or just wanna be prepared you should have at least a small trauma/med kit. I carry one on my duty belt. I also have a more extensive med kit in my patrol vehicle and one in my personal vehicle. Save up some cash and put together kits for my wife and parents as well. And don’t just have a med kit, make sure you know how to use everything in it.
Highly recommend taking a community college semester long first aid class. I did
Good point about learning how to use everything in it.
I myself have a nasopharyngeal airway and chest decompression syringe in my kit. Stuff I am in no way qualified to use lol. Stuff I in no way would ever intend to use because I would cause more harm than good.
I guess in an ideal world I would get the training, but, for my purposes I sort of look at is as something to have in case there's an emergency and there's a medical professional present who doesn't have the equipment and a dummy like myself who DOES have the equipment but doesn't know how to use it...who both happen to be there. I can't use it - wouldn't try. But maybe someone else could, and maybe that'll make the difference. Not as ideal as getting qualified myself, but it's better than nothing!
When I'm done with EMT school and start making money, a trauma kit is number one on my purchase list.
Wow dude, that's awesome. Failed my Block Exams and felt really bad. But going to give my EMT course another shot.
@@zinogre0548 how did it Go dude? :))
@@therealnerdyneuron Its going well, just need to take my state test and see where I go from there. 😁
@@zinogre0548 Keep up the good work and let me know If you ever happen to visit Germany haha💪🏻 stayhard
@@therealnerdyneuron ✊ Thanks
Trauma rule #1: Don't get f'ed up
Medical gear is always useful. Let's remember folks gets seriously injured everyday by Kitchen knives. Some of those are just as sharp as the high speed combat knives.
Great info as always. Thanks for the tip on Celox, my wife takes blood thinners and I will purchase that clotter to have for her, if needed. Love you guys and Skinny Medic. Been subscribed to your channels for a while.
Another great video, thanks guys
I love how Skinny Medic is so knowledgeable on the subject
Ngl this sounds like a joke 😆
Another very realistic situation is people who shoot improperly mounted steel to close and catch spalling in their eye or neck.
2 of my favorite channels together! Doesn't get any better! Excellent video!
Thanks for featuring the Skinny Medic - great information, and a great channel.
Poor Chad. Being picked on like this 😉😊. Great video Eric, thanks for sharing this article with us. Really good information for anyone that travels about.
Be prepared at all times.
Stan
Awesome!! Thanks Eric and Skinny!!
MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!!
Informative videos are the best.
Building a kit and felt like I had everything. You guys confirmed it! Awesome video. Thanks!
I started watching skinny medic long time ago love his channel great video again
Great video SkinnyMedic has a breadth of knowledge, well done on getting the info out.
Another terrific video, thanks for posting.
Tourniquets hurt like a mother too. They are usually the reason we have to do general anesthesia for a surgery and not for the actual surgery. But they will save your life. Great video, thanks for the knowledge
Many thanks to both of you
Excellent video. I picked up a few ideas for additions to my kit. You guys forgot the super glue though. Useful for closing cuts and small punctures in a tight spot. The original krazy glue is my preferred stock.
Great video. Thanks for all to time an effort you put into your video's. As always be safe have a blessed day
Great vid and guest. Thank you.
Thanks Eric n Dietrich. I’ve purchased many items from SM. Always seeking training/renewal for day to day and extreme issues.
Thank You Guys you are the best.
Great video, thanks for posting it !
So true, people often overlook the medical supplies! Having armor is great but you can still get hit in the extremities, and when that happens you need to plug the holes. Great video!
❤ cheers mate. love skinnymedic
Great and informative video! Skinny Medic is a great source of information.
The chem light is such a good idea! Thanks for publishing.
Thank you for this video.
Great overview. Thanks for the knowledge
don't forget walking through the woods hunting or even walking in your backyard and you step on a twig or in little depression/hole in the ground and twist your ankle badly, and fall. When you try to get up and walk you can barely put any weight on the ankle you twisted! I know from Personal experience! Good thing I did not break my ankle or my leg! I know of someone that had that happen! They were out walking in their yard stepped in a gopher hole in the ground twisted their ankle and fell. They ended up breaking their ankle! fortunately for them a neighbor saw them fall and was able to get help. Once you get a medical kit make sure you get training to learn how to properly use what is in it based on the situations you are most likely going to encounter. Example: you go to a gun range every weekend for a couple of hours to shoot. you would want to learn how to treat gun shot wounds along with other basic first aid.
Great video, keep them coming.
Thank you, with my wife being herself we have 3 trama kits and a lot of other first aid stuff around the house
Almost lost my index finger on a canoe camping trip and thank God I had a $30 Walmart kit it helped get me home. I'm now looking for a better kit
Bought all my med gear from D. Great human being. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing another resource place to get medical supplies.
I agree that medical care is the 1st priority in any emergency or survival situation. If you're injured or impaired in any way, it doesn't matter if you have water, food or shelter. First priority is "breathe!".
The other point I would make here is that if you carry "tools" that can put holes in other people, you should probably carry supplies that can fix holes in you, or others.
Another great vid. Loving it over in the UK too
Great video good to know thanks guys
Great show!
This is a great video, very important
Very good video.
A kit like this extremely useful.
Car accidents are far more common than shootings.
This, along with a basic level first aid course is a great everyday safety that everyone can use.
Love this video. I think a hugely important point that wasn't stressed enough is that if you have a kit like this, a trauma kit, you need to drill with it. You MUST know not only what's in it, but what pocket it's in, what else goes with it and what pocket that's in, and you must know how to use it in the presence of unknown external stimuli. You could have the best kit in town, but when the shit hits the fan, if you forget, if you freak out, if you don't practice with your kit, it's going to cost lives.
I am just about finish with a BUG OUT BAG with everything you showed in this video also i have added items specific to my families needs this will be a grab and go bag with easy access to the bag plus a AR pistol is a must inside too with ammo the bag i put together is surprisingly not bulky nor heavy great video guys thanks
Some good info guys. Always remember to get training on the equipment you will be using. The kits for chest wounds are relatively simple, but there is more to treating a 'sucking chest/back wound" than just slapping a plastic bandage on it.
Was a paramedic for almost 30 years. Last 20 at a major trauma center, busy EMS. My opinion on trauma/bleeding is a stack of 4x4's 1to 2 inches (sterile or not) and a 4 or 6" ACE bandage. Another good pressure dressing aid for wounds is 4 or 6" cling/kling kept rolled and used in place of the 4x4's. Wrap the wound tight as possible, (depending on the severity of bleeding) if not, 4x4's and tape (2" best, 1" will work).
Remember, sterility is not as important in life or death situations. Something I didn't see on the video was a trauma dressing. It is large and will not fit in most kits, but works well with gut wounds or large avulsions.
Several syringes of saline (5ml) will help flush out wounds that are not severely bleeding or might be wrapped for several hours, or eye injuries.
Skinny Medic's channel is very informative.
I have always had one since I was in the army, but I have upgraded mine and I just added a few more items today. My wife likes me having it. With 3 boys I have used it a lot.
Cheers, I have been looking a building a second first aid kit for the workshop. Mostly worried about injury from saw blades, very helpful video!
Have you heard of Recon Medical tourniquets. I looked into these when I found out they were made in the U.S.A. and cost about half the price of N.A.R. CAT tourniquets. I actually prefer them because the windless is made of aircraft grade aluminum, and they are actually well constructed with carbon fiber thread stitching and so on. I'm only mentioning these because they are not just the cheap imitations that you see all over the place. I also like the fact that they have great customer service; not that I've actually needed it, but I must admit that I called to find out for sure that they were an American based company. I also have made the move to Celox.
Thank god for the Skinny Medic
People often forget how important of a subject this is!
“My fingers gonna be in your pelvis and not in a good way” i has to pause it for a minute there lol this is just one more reason to love skinny medic lol
I have crazy glued major cuts where stitches were absolute!
I cut myself really bad while field dressing a deer during first year of Covid. The last place I was going was the ER. Probably needed 20+ stitches.
Ran to the convenience store and bought a tube of crazy glue and never looked back.
I knew there wasn’t any nerve damage
Since that day
I always keep an IFAK in my truck and always have one with me at the range.
Good info.
This is a reasonable list of items to purchase to start a trauma kit. Thanks
“Buy them piece by piece and the wife doesn’t notice” haha this guy gets it
Thanks for making the video it was really helpful as I checked out his website as I'm looking for a Lil first aid kit for my plate carrier and have my eye on one now
For those of you who don't have a medical background....Let me tell you right now....This is a Great video! Step 1 is realizing that, as important as it is, this type stuff may never be needed. But more importantly is Step 2.....You MUST know how to use this kind of stuff in the rare instance where it "is" needed...because it WILL save a life. Good video Eric. "My finger is gonna be in your pelvis...and not in a good way."
Everything goes fine and well...until it happens...
Be prepared.
I brought my CATS from Skinny Medic as there are far too many fakes on Amazon and other online stores. He's an honest guy helping others to save others. :)
Some of the best advice I've read pertaining to always having an adequate Trauma Kit (or IFAK) in my vehicle came from (I believe) 'Skinny Medic' himself. Within a FB thread I was reading a couple of years ago on this very subject someone stated that if you are not properly trained to use what's in your kit then you should not get involved and you should leave providing first aid to those who have had the proper training. Good advice, for sure. Note, however, that the response from a trained first responder was also good advice. 'Skinny' (or whoever it was) said there will be times when off duty trained person may not be carrying a kit with him or her. So if you've come upon an auto accident, for example, which requires immediate first aid and you do have an adequate trauma kit with you and you present it to the first responder asking, "Will any of this help?", you can bet it will be appreciated, most likely used and perhaps even save a life.
+1. I have no training in medical stuff but I carry a backpack thats almost exclusively medical supplies. My best friend is a trained EMT but wont even carry a band aid on him. We hang out together a lot; I'm have the supplies, he has the knowledge
Love skinny medic!!!
I wear the pants in my castle. Man up guys and get some kits together.. I never go anywhere without a large kit in a USGI NV accessories pouch with a sling, and one hangs in our upstairs bathroom. Be sure to get a red cross patch and sew it on, there are subdued color versions for field use. This is especially important if you team up with others that aren't in the loop yet, they can ID it easily and grab it
One thing many do not talk about is that military application comes with raid/quick acting pain relief being administered to help with the trauma, and pain caused by treatment. This in most cases is not an option for civilian application.
Trauma medical kits will save your ass on the field
Thx guys
Here's a real life situation. My step brother is a police officer. He and my step father were at the gun range. Normal day.. So they met a few people and there was one person who was very much a "boastful" person. My step brother also runs CCW classes so my step brother was keeping an eye on him a bit because he was being a little less then safe at the range. As the day started to end and people were packing up to go home they were having a friendly talk with the guy and the guys friend. So they start splitting off to go to their cars when a shot was fired. My step brother turned around and the guy had shot a round into his leg. He thought the gun was unloaded (but later admitted that he didn't actually check the barrel to be sure). As my step brother is a police officer he had a trauma kit in his car and was able to take care of the guy until EMS could arrive. It was also a learning experience for my step brother's son, as he has started to instill gun safety to him.
That could have turned out bad if my step brother hadn't had a trauma kit available. So even if not for you, it might come in useful for someone you meet. You never know.
Thanks
This is amazing
Great video
It’s a damn good channel.
Your video opening statements were worth stating. The non gun user still needs to know about this. Glad you said that to include them here.
I had the first gen stuff and that stuff burned horribly. I remember it vaguely 30+ years later. Glad to hear the Celox doesn't burn.
There are far more chances to help folks than to hurt them. I’ve used my med gear more often while camping or auto accidents than shooting issues.
As an improvised tourniquet for emergencies I have pre drilled holes in my belt to fit my upper thighs and biceps.
Yeah kind of screws up your belt but my belts been beat the death and it's nice to have something handy in case something horrible happens and I can't get access to my trauma kit.
Major arterial hits you can bleed out in under 5 minutes so having this a little extra layer of protection could save your life.
If you take a hit to your femoral artery and it's totally severed you're usually done unless you have a surgeon or combat medic within 5 minutes as they will usually retract back beyond the scope of most folks grasp
Yeah. I've gone out shooting once and I'm like I need one of these.
I have a trauma kit for chainsaw, shooting, hunting and each car/truck. Because as said, accidents happen. Basic kit is used when needed, never had to use the 'trauma kit' yet and hope never to open it other than to check contents.
Awesome video guys an i always put a medic kit in my car.
Great video and I can say from experience that tourniquet really hurt especially if you're a big guy or girl
Awesome!
This is the kind or thing they should have classes for in every high school.
Aaaaaye, they got on a skiing conversation about bandaids in a trama video! 🤙🏼😂
Funny they said that. The wifey asked why we were getting so much medical/first aid stuff in the mail. I explained that all those skinny medic videos I’ve been watching have taught me some stuff. I’m learning to administer first and then some. Different types of tourniquets, chest seals, packing wounds, opening airways, etc she simply replied, oh ok...good
Nice, do it again sometime soon!
Have been looking for a kit like this. I am not medically trained so I am adding this site (skinny Medic)
Personally I'd recommend Coban as well. Sticks to itself and is great for wrapping and securing dressings when things get bloody and tape doesn't hold. It's pricey for what it is when purchased at a pharmacy, but if you have a farm supply place around it's the same thing as the rubbery tape used to wrap horses legs. Can find it there in decent sized rolls for $3. Actually, many first aid supplies can be bought cheaper from a farm/vet supply store, and they're made by the same companies, in the same facilities, and to the same sterile/aseptic standards.
Body armor is also a good investment...love when you guys review armor......maybe you guys could review some of the less expensive armors and test them love to see that.
Joshua Susice Dont forget to pair it with a decent helmet
Both of these guys signed the Cricketts and I thank them :)
So good,i like the shooter friends..
Ooh, yeah - I've heard in regards to tourniquets of people with gunshot wounds BEGGING for them to be loosened up and taken off because they hurt worse than the wound itself that required their employment.
So good idea to throw that in. At the surface level, discussing the amount of pain a ~life-saving~ device causes seems pretty silly...rather have a bit of pain than DIE, right?
But if you're not a professionally trained person and are employing life-saving measures in an emergency situation, and the injured person starts screaming...well, you might think you were causing more harm and take it off.
So, good to know hemostats and tourniquets tend to cause a lot of pain and the pain itself is actually a good sign. Hemostat ain't hurting, it ain't workin'. Tourniquet ain't hurtin', it needs to be tighter and/or closer to the wound.
In factory work generally speaking 85% of hand injuries can be avoided by wearing the proper glove.
