1967 Mountain Vintage Survival Kit REI Industries First Aid Kit For Business Contact : Nathans MRE Po Box 115 Altenburg Mo 63732 nathan.youtube@yahoo.com
When I moved into my house there was an old first aid kit left in the garage. The only item in the kit was one of those things. I had no idea what it was and I did crack it and smell it, had the opposite effect I ALMOST FAINTED. Could not believe how potent it was, felt like my nose was burning.
My wife and I have found a few old med kits or supplies in thrift stores and the like over the years. All of the old stuff ends up in the China cabinet. The last one we bought had five or six of those in it and looked to be at least from the early ninetees. They now are each within there own little container, because after 30 to 50 years old, who really knows what they do now.
Always interesting to see you with these "new" kits. The bandage was for a sling or large wounds. Most of that stuff, is definitely pre-1980s. I think, my parents had some of that stuff? I know my Dad, definitely did. He worked for the railroad and, he had a stock of medical supplies, he kept in his vehicle. Watching things like this, kinda takes me back.
Little late watching this 1. The long capsules with the cotton in 1 end and the paper type sleeve over the top might be insect bite relief. You are supposed to take that sleeve and put it on the other end and crush it with your fingers. Then tip it so the stuff inside soaks into the cotton end. Then you rub on the affected area. At least those are the types I have seen and used.
I think the empty plastic case might actually be to hold/protect thermometer for rectal insertion. When checking body core temperature to assess for hypothermia, you wouldn't want a broken glass thermometer stuck up your ring-piece ☹
You know its ancient when not only has Merthiolate in it, but the old school stuff with mercury. No criticism for not knowing that one, it is an antiseptic kind of like mercuochrome- with both, the screams from the injured just means it's working. The Betadine is a povidone-iodine brand name, and largely replaced the other two. A kit this age has certainly been tinkered with, with that 2nd thermometer. Wish you'd shown the larger one in better detail- I bet it goes high and low as a hypo/hyperthermia thermometer. Because you've got an old and new thermometer, I bet the one in the white case is newer and alcohol based. And yes, that one has a rounded tip, so... ewww. The person who had this updated components, never removed the old ones- packrat!
Ok you're killing me. Ammonia in smelling salts, marriage is alcohol based antiseptic. The long swab may be for the Bernadine, good for cuts and scrapes and deeper wounds. Mending kit for sewing, clothing or people. Think the "padded pad" is for burns. Red tip on flat end of thermometer is rectal, blue oral. Probably is mercury if '67 vintage. Good little kit.
Mercury thermometers are hard to find now, cos they're "banned" because people think the world will end if you drop one, much like how they think a building needs the deep-clean crews come in if they drop a fluorescent tube or CFL, when in reality it's not anywhere near actually that bad... :P
Thos little cloth tube things were sniffing salts you were close you break them and put them under an unconscious person's nose and it should perk them up

Very interesting kit! The things wrapped in the gauze are smelling salts. You squeeze them and a glass container brakes open saturating the gauze.
Just dont sniff them, smellung salts pack a punch they were meant to wake you up if you fainted i think

Kitbashed survival has done videos of the two smaller kits already,but nice to see them again.
well done.
Great to see these new kits and rations, I was getting over the French RCIR reviews, keep it up Nathan.
Cheers mate
That brown tube I at first thought was a cigar. Lol
Ya sorry miss the mre reviews
I am really loving the survival kit series you’ve been doing lately!
That "scalpel blade" is actually a #11 X-acto blade. True medical scalpels are very different.
I would say those tubes are smelling salts. Great kit though, remember my grandparents having smelling salts in their first aid kit.
These sort of kits where fairly common in the 70s I remember my father having one for the car in a differently shaped box.

The empty one might be the oral thermometer. The one you have might be the rectal thermometer.

Rectal thermometer is better for checking body temperature in hypothermia cases.

I would say that the best chance to identify age of kit, is to check that booklet for a copyright date.
Those are Amonia inhalers in case of fainting snap them wave under patients nose .

Dam autocorrect ..MERTHIOLATE not marriage.
Don't you mean marriage needs alcohol?
The 4 Mystery tubes could be smelling salt
Yep Amonia inhalers in case of fainting snap them and wave them under patients nose.

The fiberglass vials are full of ammonia use to have the same type in old military kits
Thos little cloth tube things were sniffing salts you were close you break them and put them under an unconscious person's nose and it should perk them up
When a plastic case is made in the USA you know its old, China can make that for 5 cents including labor and shipping.
That is a Thermometer holder and is missing the thermometer. Carry on my good man.
everything in this is so random
..looks handy...is there a map to the nearest hospital ?...lol...
Your first Bob
@@NathansMRE ..is there advice for mre poisoning...lol..

Very RARE ... you're a very rare cowboy too Nathan haha lol , just joking. Love the old bunch, the older the better son, go on :) :)
What’s a bypass safety pin 😜
Did you say Warshington?
My Hoosier mother used that pronunciation.
Who knew there was an "r" in Washington?
It depends on what part of the country you live in how a person pronounces words.
Don't get out, or read too much I take it,
"ARSE HOLE "?
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
You got screwed again……more junk!
4 smelling salts/ammonia, useless for anything except reviving fainting Victorian damsels.
That's a amoium inhalent
REI great gear, but overpriced.
You got ripped off. Other than the books and the box. Most of everything it 1980s and newer.
