WEBVTT - What To Put In Your IFAK 0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:08.039 Hello, everyone, welcome to the podcast. It could happen here. 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:10.959 It's me James today and I am joined for a 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:15.160 rare example of Danel being on the podcast. 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.720 Yes, welcome you, Danel, and James, thank you for having me. 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.680 I'm thrilled to be here to talk with you on 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:23.840 the podcast that I edit every single day. 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.239 Yeah. Yeah, Normally you just hear me, but at this 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.120 time you get like the dan It's like the Subaltan speaks, 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:33.680 but it's Danel. I couldn't fucking I couldn't really go 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.360 anywhere with that, so I just I just left the 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.839 two halves of the joke out there, and either of 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.720 them with a partner A very sad. Yeah. So, Danel, 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.239 we're here today to talk about first Day Kits and 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:48.920 the reason we're talking about First Ay kits is because 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:51.760 it is Pride Month at the time of recording. That, 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:53.959 of course, in the United States means that people are 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:59.080 worried about being murdered by homophobic psychopaths. Unfortunately, so hmm, 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.240 that is that is the world that we live in, 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:05.280 and it shouldn't be. It's fucked up, and it hopefully 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.000 won't be this way forever because you know, all these 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:12.200 people are wrong and will die eventually and that will 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.720 make the world better. But fingers crossed, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.959 we can, we can hope. I guess maybe they're raising 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.800 a new generation of Turfs or whatever. I don't think 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:27.479 the hopefully not, let's not. Yeah. So I just wanted 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.000 to talk because I've seen a bunch of people online, 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.000 like a lot of people who are in the like 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.959 lgbt q I a community, or who are going to 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.760 pride just being like oh fuck like it. Genuinely, I 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.880 can see why people are very afraid right because violence 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:49.240 against queer people is at least seemingly increasing. I'm not 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.280 going to give you training because this is a podcast 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.840 and you can't learn first aid on a podcast, and 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:58.880 you can't learn it on YouTube either. Really, I wanted 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.280 to talk briefly about like supplies and then places to 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:08.200 get training, because that is very important. I have bought 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.239 my first ay kit that I used for work. I 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.160 have quite a few that I used for work. Actually 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.160 I don't like to repat them. And I know that 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.960 you have bought one that Jeffrey Bezos kindly sent you. Yes, exactly. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.200 Yeah, at the at the height of the you know, 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.240 the George Floyd protests, et cetera. I was out there 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.840 in the streets and kind of after observing what was 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.760 happening in Portland, and after you know, listening into and 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:34.440 editing it could happen to year episodes and you know 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.480 what what Gear and Robert were covering. It felt, if 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:43.080 not necessary, but very prudent to invest in something like 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.519 this so that should there be a need to help 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.480 people in the streets, I was there unable to do so. 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.200 And whether or not this was a good first aid kit, 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:52.800 I think we're going to find out today. 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.480 Yeah, that's the aim of the game. I should point 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.080 out that, like my medical training is pretty basic, right, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.160 I'm not that kind of doctor, but I do have 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.480 a wilderness first responder and a wilderness first aid and 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.080 to stop the bleed training, and I've done CPR training, 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.720 and I've done hostile environment first aid training, so a 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.720 bunch of stuff which is focused around very very very 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.560 basic first aid. Right. In all of those cases, it's 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.360 like make sure the person doesn't die immediately, and then 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:20.920 get them to someone who is better trained than you 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.960 so that they can help them more immen, which is 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.400 like listen, if you are learning about medical stuff, on 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.720 the podcast hosted by a guy who has a PhD 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.800 in mode European history. Then that that is what you 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.000 are doing too, write like yes, and we're going to 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.080 talk about that because you can for sure fock someone 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.080 up if you if you go sort of outside of 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.760 your scope of knowledge. And that is I understand the 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.240 desire to help. That we have to help in the 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.760 way that's most helpful, I guess, not do any harm. 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.880 So yeah, let's go over. Let's let's go over I 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.960 guess my first aid kit, and then we can we 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.400 can open yours and see what's the same and what's different. Right, 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.200 So this is one because it's small and it fits 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:02.760 in the small of my back, and if I really 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.240 need to, I could just like wear a kind of 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.800 baggy shirt and it wouldn't be too obvious. I also 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.800 have one that fits around my ankle for times when 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.080 I really don't want people to know I have it, 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.480 but but I also want to have it. And then 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.920 you can wear some sick flare jeans or something and 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:21.120 people just think you're a trendy kind of guy. Yeah 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.479 they'll know. So yeah, in mind, it sort of goes on. 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.000 It's one of your back and then you can pull 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.240 it away, right, has a big old red handle. Just 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.920 put it like that and it comes away. Yeah, it's nice. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.279 That's one thing I will say right off the bat 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.040 is like, I've seen a number of people get hurt 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.000 in a number of different situations. I've seen a number 0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.799 of people render first date, including myself, sometimes successfully, sometimes 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:48.000 sadly not successfully. And if you're if you have a 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.760 big bag of shit and then you open your bag 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.160 of shit and you're just throwing stuff everywhere, Stuff's falling 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.800 on the ground, it you're that's not helpful, right, Like 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:02.080 the things that will kill people that are preventable for 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.560 the most part in and like trauma injuries. Right, Like 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.040 the stuff that we might see if we're going to 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.760 a pride, if we're attending a protest, if we fucking 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:14.440 work in a school in America, right is largely like 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:19.599 like attention umothorax and a whole sucking chest wound and 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.479 losing blood. And losing blood is I believe that the 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.440 sort of most common preventable cause of death in in 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.080 trauma injuries. So most of us is going to focus 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.119 around losing blood. And that's where tyber training called stop 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.320 the bleed comes in right, I believe it's stop the 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.720 Bleed dot org. You can google free stop the Bleed 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.400 classes near me. I have previously posted a link to 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.920 where you can put in your postcode, zip code and 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:50.160 find free stop the Bleed training near you. And again 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.080 that will cost you no money at all, cost you 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:52.839 about half a day. 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:53.159 Of your time. 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.720 Oh great, yeah, yeah, it's it's a great thing actually, 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.159 Like it's one of the few things that that you know, 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.559 the municipal guy meant to various things put on. Well, 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.919 if there isn't one near you, I've heard the people 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.640 hitting up fire departments and then getting them to put 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.200 one on if they can demonstrate some interest because it's 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.840 very basic. And most fire departments will have paramedics, right, 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.520 which is a sort of step up from an empty 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.080 So those those folks can help teach those things very well. 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.040 So what is in here for stopping the bleed? And 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:24.479 I'm not going to teach you how to use it, 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.440 because then what someone else does? 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:27.560 Someone else's job. 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.240 Yeah, so before I open it up, this is a tornicque. 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:37.200 Some people will pronounce that incorrectly. They will say that 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:41.240 those people are with that hard t kit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:45.280 the American way. Yeah, so it's what this guy is 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:49.760 is is it? It's for like bleeding your limbs, arterial 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.640 bleeding your limbs. Right, it just goes around since it 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:54.640 down and I'm not telling you how to use it, 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.919 and then you tighten it up right. The things I 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.719 want to emphasize about this are one the tie of tornicae. 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.200 That is so this is called a combat application tornice. 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:08.039 It's made by a company called North American Rescue. There 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.880 are a few other ones that I would use. The 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.800 other one I have, I think is the Softy Wide 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:19.600 and I have some of the REVX med ratcheting tornicades 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.800 as well. They use like a boa. If people have 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.840 used ski boots or cycling shoes, they'll be familiar with 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.280 a boa call. The one to buy is the one 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.440 that you use when you do your training right, and 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.920 it's going to be a sam as another one. There's another. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.880 These are all the toniques you want to buy if 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.239 you're sort of if you're confused about which one you used. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.560 The ones that are approved by the t trouble C 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:48.320 It's a Committee on Tactical Casualty Care, Tactical Casualty something 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.560 like that. Those guys have tested them extensively right to 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.360 see which wants work, which wants to don't. It is 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.120 this is not somewhere to save money that they they 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.160 are about twenty three twenty five bucks. You find them 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.600 on sale, it's not. Yeah. I mean, if if that's 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.120 a big expense for you, then I understand, uh, and 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.000 it's it's okay not to have one if that's a 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.400 big expense or to save up and wait like, that's okay. 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:16.360 It's better than using an improvised tornic K. Right. So 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.800 there there are not very many very good studies at 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:26.040 least that I could find on improvised tornic K's someplaces 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.200 still teaching improvised tornic K, like I I've taken a 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.800 Woman's First Responder where they taught it. I've also seen 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.319 one not work, and I will tell you that that's 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.560 not an experience that I want to ever have again 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.560 in my life, and I don't think it's one i'd 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.560 like you all to share with me. So I would 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.280 suggest if you're going to be using a tornic K, 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.720 then then buying a cat is kind of the standard. 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.560 I wouldn't buy it from Jeffrey Bezos because this Amazon 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.480 dot com is a website that he owns, I believe, Yeah, 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.640 Space Cowboy Jeffrey. And so the reason why is that 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.840 all of these different there are knockoffs, right, there are 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.280 fakes of this. They go in different they go in 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.160 the same bin from what I'm told, and then the 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.440 person who's a picker just maybe grabs one, and sometimes 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.480 you can end up with a fake. What can happen 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.040 with a fake is the strap can break or the windless. 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.960 So the windless is the guy that tightens it can break. Ah, Okay, 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:22.439 either of those things is going to lead to the 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.600 tonic failing. Right, it's not going to apply enough pressure, 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.440 and that's going to it could do a number of things, right, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.840 It could just fail to start the bleeding. Depending on 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.000 if you've misidentified the bleeding. You could give someone a 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.360 compartment syndrome or something. It's going to be very painful. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.520 It's going to be very painful anyway, and you'll learn 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.280 that in your course which you're going to take. You're 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.480 not gonna not going to just listen to me on 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:48.360 the podcast, thank you. And so you do want a 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.520 real one, and so the easiest way to obtain a 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.600 real one is to buy one from a reliable source 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.920 Rescue Essentials, Chinook Medical and North American Rescuer or people 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.280 who I've worked with. I'll say that Rescue is Eventual 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:01.880 sent me a bunch of shit before I went on 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.920 a work trip. They it was lots of it was 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.079 outdated or the open box or something, and I was 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.520 able to donate that to fixes and journalists I was 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.280 working with. I thought that was very cool of them. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:12.640 Cool. 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.280 They offer a stop the Bleed month discount. I think 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.000 stop the Bleed month is May, so we might be 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.920 out of that now. But those are real places where 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.559 you can buy these tonic cas and know that you're 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.520 not getting a fake one, right. 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.000 So you'll provide links to that in the description of 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:26.400 the place. 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:28.079 We will yeap yeah, yeah, I'll make sure that those 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:32.320 are there for you to click. So there are different generations, 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.760 like I think generation seven is what I have. Generation 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:40.440 six is also fine. You probably won't find one sold 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:41.800 before that. On the off chance you do, I would 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.760 just stick to a generation seven or six. And it 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.960 does have a little timestamps, so you want little sharpie 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:50.480 as well to write the time on. That's more important. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.760 It's possible that you might put this on somebody. So 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.839 you're at a pride event and there is something terrible happening, 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.120 like a mass shooter, and you might be there for 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:00.600 a while. Let's say you're in tech and all your 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.840 cops are fucking cowards, and then unfortunately, if you were 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.719 able to render aid someone and then you both of 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.280 you were able to not get hurt any further, you 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:09.920 could be there for a while, and then it would 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.680 be relevant what time the tornica is applied. Normally, you know, 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.400 in the US, we would hope that you would have 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.080 medical attention pretty quickly because you know, that threat would 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.240 have been stopped and then EMS would be able to 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.079 provide help. But so that that's where the time thing 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.080 comes in, right, And so you want to have a 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.079 tiny sharpie when you have a tornic and you can 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.720 get North American Rescue actually sell little tiny, half sized 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.520 sharpies and I shove them in the pouch with the 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:33.439 tornic ue and then there they are, and then you 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.880 always have a sharpie. So we go inside there it is. 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.920 Look at that. Okay, hey the little guy, Oh that's 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.000 a cute. Yeah, isn't it gorgeous? Yeah? We love a 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:47.040 little guy. Here to credit card size sharpie. It's perfect. Yeah, yeah, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.520 for those who are not dannel exactly somewhat with a 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.199 pinky sharpie and I'll. 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:53.920 Do I will do the part of contextualizing for the 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.320 for the non video audience. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.760 Thank you, Daniel. Yeah, of course, paint a picture with 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.080 words if you will. So we're going through this now. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.120 If if you focus on bleeding again, right, there's a 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.760 couple of different dressings that you have. So again I'm 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.040 not going to tell you what to use for wear, 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.680 but you would use like the tournique on one part 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.120 of your body. The other things you're going to use 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.679 would be a pressure dressing. So you can get a 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.480 ton of different pressure dressings. I like the Olays ones O. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:26.240 L A E. S That it doesn't hugely matter that 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:27.800 those ones just have a little bit of gorse that 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.600 you can pull out so you can pack a wound 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.720 two And sometimes if you do so, if you get 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.160 like a nice training, they might let you practice packing 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.439 some wounds, so they might have like a little fake 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:42.040 wound that you can pack and yeah, so that you'll 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.520 learn a lot about like how to do that there 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.760 and so those allowed some of the other ones don't. 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.040 But honestly, like sometimes they're called Israeli bandages. They will 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:57.520 not like colonize Palestine if you you know, put them 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.679 in you at first gate kit. But that's what this 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.480 guy is, right, And sometimes they have a lot of 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.080 packaging on, so you want to take them down to 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.760 kind of the last layer of packaging. None of this 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.720 shit is sterile, right, None of this stuff is. Again, 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.360 it's not supposed to be in for a long time, 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.199 so it's okay to have that like either just bear 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.079 or in its first layer of packaging. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.800 I want to get textualize one thing from a video perspective, 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.080 just for everybody listening. As James is showing me his 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.719 first aid kit, it looks like every item that he's 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.120 talking about other than the tournique is individually wrapped and 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.480 also strapped down. Yeah, it looks like I would say, 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.040 about seven or eight individual items within there, and they 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.000 all have their own pocket and they're all strapped down. 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.760 And that's something that immediately looking at mine, I basically 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.040 have you know, small plastic baggies that I will hold 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.880 up to James right now, small plastic baggies of just 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.920 like a lot of loose shits, and it's just way 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.439 too much stuff in here, I would say, of what 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.560 I see in James's bag versus mine, I think I mean, 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.600 first of all, there's stuff missing, Like there's no tournique 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.240 in here. There's a lot of different gauze things, and 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.640 there's but there's you know, in mind, I have like 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.560 seven hundred different bandages, and like there's aspirin in here, 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.200 and like some things that feel like they're more for 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.559 like a camping trip than they are really like handling 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.800 a first aid scenario in which you need to save 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.280 someone's life. So one piece of advice that I'm getting 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.800 from James as he shares this, is that you know, 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.400 what's important to carry around is the stuff that is 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.120 going to give you immediate access to the ability to 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.760 save someone's life. So think about that as you are 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.720 like packing your bag. What I have here that I 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.440 bought online, that I'm still glad that I have is 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.800 basically a collection of a bunch of different miscellaneous first 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:49.200 aid stuff rather than a very stripped down specific list 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.680 of items that I can use to save someone's life 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:52.920 in an emergency scenario. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.720 Yes, excellent point, and you can see them all right 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.160 when you open this guy. This guy is also like 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:01.920 sign it's such as I can pull it off, pop 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.280 it on the floor, open it up, have my workspace 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.400 in front of me. If there's anything I'm not confident doing, 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:12.200 If like when horrible things happen and people are bleeding you, 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:16.000 you do not in that time gain skills right at 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:20.400 that moment, speaking from like more experience than I would 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.880 like to have. If people are in a really bad 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.160 way in front of you, it's not a fun time, 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.760 and you get scared and you might panic. That's okay, 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.720 that happens to everyone. People aren't supposed to see their shit, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:33.760 and if it, certainly, if it's your first time seeing, 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.880 it's not unreasonable at all to freak out and not 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.840 know what to do. You can just hold any of 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:39.520 the ship up, say hey I have a tonic uit, 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.680 Hey I have a pressure dressing, and someone who who's 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.480 at that time is able to help can take that. 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.960 You know what they're doing, they can help. So it's 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.720 totally fine just to have this shit. And if you 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.040 don't know how to use it, you know, don't go 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.000 beyond your scope of knowledge. But just you have that 0:15:54.040 --> 0:16:03.760 shit and you can provide it someone else, that's fine. 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.800 So yeah, everything's in little elastic bands. I've got this 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.160 stuff which is called quick clot We've talked a lot 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.840 of the podcast recently about indigenous medical technologies. This is 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.520 an example of one. Right. So it's using I think kalin. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.040 There's some that use kalin, some that use something that 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:23.840 came from crab shells. But this is this is an 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.840 indigenous medical technology that now is sort of it's a 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.920 bit it's been refined over time. This just contains a 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:35.320 thing that stops it helps blood to clots, hemostatic agent. Right, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:39.080 So when you're packing a wound, you could use this first. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.080 This this would help with blood clotting. Right. It's also 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.840 the type I have is detectable on X rays, which 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.120 helps a lot. There are some older types which are powders. 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.720 Those of those are probably best avoided. And you want 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.400 the gauze that is impregnated with the hemostatic agent if 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.600 you can. This stuff got really pricey recently, Like I 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.080 think the best price I've seen for this is thirty 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.200 five bucks. Oh wow, So yeah, this guy is going 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:05.040 to cost you the most. 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:06.880 Do you have an idea why that is? 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:08.600 I think a lot of people probably bought it in 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.199 twenty twenty. Might be part of it. Maybe it's some 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:12.879 kind of supply chain thing. I don't if you know 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:18.160 where they get the ingredients from. But they just went 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.080 up in price a lot link Like a lot of 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.560 people were sort of reaching out about, Hey, why is 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:28.040 this shit so expensive? Sure, I don't know, but it's 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.359 not like one hundred percent necessary, but it is a 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.000 very helpful thing and it can make a difference in 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:37.280 some cases. Right, So that's the hemostetic gause. What else 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.720 I've gotten here as a pair of trauma shares. That's 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:43.639 just if you need to remove someone's clothing to access 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.159 a wound, and that is kind of important. So for instance, 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.600 I was doing a training once and I prefer to 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.719 speak about those things. So like where a guy was 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.439 presented to us with gunshot wound, and like, if you 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:02.520 don't rip off his houses like this, you know, if 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.199 someone's been shot and you're there helping them. Again, like 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:06.919 if if you're not comfortable doing this, you haven't done 0:18:06.960 --> 0:18:09.040 the training and don't be just ripping off strangers clothes. 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:16.360 That's weird in general. Yeah, yeah, there comes a yes. Yeah. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.240 So like and they had this cool kind of thing 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.360 around his leg that bled like he had like two wounds, 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.680 sort of pumping out blood. It's like a cool kind 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.760 of bleeding simulator. So but yeah, bullets will do crazy 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.400 ship and they'll go in one part of your leg 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:32.960 and hit the bone abouts around and go out in 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:34.800 fact the other. But they don't always travel in straight lines. 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.960 They're not laser beams. So by exposing that wound, you 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.640 can sometimes see the exit wound, and so you'll know 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.520 that there are two wounds, right, Yeah, depending on how 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:46.440 you're going to treat it. You know you're gonna pack it, 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:47.919 you're going to put a torn key on it, but 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.679 that that will That's what these are for. You can 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:53.320 also get things which are called like I think it's 0:18:53.320 --> 0:19:00.440 called a clothing knife. I actually keep one, yeah, into 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.400 the belt of my plate carrier that I used to work, 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.480 just so that it's like right here and it's the 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.439 same place I keep my diving knife, so then I 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:11.399 know it's there. And what it does is these are 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.920 handy thing to have in your truck to Yes, yeah, 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:20.000 you've seen it. So it's a contained blade, right. I 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:24.160 like this little chat because in addition to the contained blade, 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:26.200 it has a little glass breaker. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:28.439 Yes, I was going to say we have one in 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.239 the car, so it's like a se Some people might 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:33.600 not as a seatbelt cutter, yeah, seatbell cutter. And usually 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:34.800 on the other side, like you said, they have a 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.200 glass breaker. So but that is a much more contained 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:38.600 one and that looks nice. The one in my car 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.480 is like the size of a small hammer, because it's 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.199 like meant to be like, you know, give you the 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.160 forest to hold in and smack of window, but also 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:45.760 the kind of thing that is super useful. I think 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.040 everybody should have one in their car. 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.080 Yeah, you can put on your keyring even right. This 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.320 is the size of like a like a match box 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:54.600 or key. It's like the size of the key fob. 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:56.719 Yeah yeah, yeah. If you have a newer vehicle than 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:57.320
