    Also, I would LOVE to see what you would have for a WROL kit! And perhaps other things you would suggest in being prepared should it happen.

    I had an idea of something you could add to your kit. It’s something my grandmother used to use and it works WONDERS! It’s called black icthamol or “drawing salve”. It will draw just about anything out. From spinters, infection or poison from a bee sting. And it comes in a small round tin. I believe there is one Wal-mart carries called “Pride” (I think). Incase you were interested. P.S. the hubby and I LOVE your vids!

    Just FYI, at 745 you mention to use the NPA (Nasopharyngel airway) for severe facial trauma.

    This is incorrect. A MAJOR contraindiction for the NPA is facial trauma for the shere fact that the nose is so close to the brain, and if force was strong enough to break a facial bone, it was strong enough to cause a hole to form to the brain.

    The NPA is used for patients that cannot tolerate the OPA.

    Nutn,

    5 stars! 1000 stars if I could. This is immensely helpful and I truly appreciate your explanations as well as your time in creating the series (over 2 hours!). I have been anxiously anticipating this information for quite some time and will use it directly to build a kit of my own. Keep up the great service to the community.

    PS - I was not previously aware of a TIA risk with hemostatic agents, e.g. Quikclot. Food for thought! Thanks for enlightening me.

    There is a product out there called “durmabond” that works fantastic. We use it frequently in the ER and I am yet to be disappointed with it. IT comes in a small plastic vial that you squeeze to activate. You need to be sure the bleeding has stopped before using it however. Works very well on even moderate deep lacs as long as they have a clean cut (i.e knife). Hold the edges together, glue across and wait till dry. Simple and effective.

    Mr. Nutnfancy,
    I am 100% on board with your Sheep Dog idea. I really enjoyed your Level 1&2 first aid videos. It is my opinion that giving blood to your local blood banks and being an organ donor fits in with the whole Sheep Dog/first aid. We can help save lives even when we are not there to help first hand.

    Thanks for your videos,

    Great series of videos!

    Curious to know your thoughts on “liquid bandages” like New Skin as a wound sealer — perhaps as an alternative to Superglue.

    Hm, you definitely got a point there.

    Which again leads me to the conclusion that _everyone_ partaking in a hike should be trained in first aid basics and most importantly familiarize him/herself with the kit so everybody on the team can act appropriately without wasting precious time reading instructions and stuff.

    Thanks, dude :-)

    You …
    Hey Nutn,

    You don’t include “operator instructions” because you know them, however you have stated that “you” may not be using your kit. So maybe something small could be included for the novice in your group.

    Love your vids, you rock…..

    you should check out some crushproof caintainers on countycomm(dot)com, they work great and fit well into this BH roll.

    I don’t think this …
    I don’t think this is necessarily any better than the nasal airway. The oral airway you mention is only meant for people who are unconscious and without a gag reflex. There are also other complications so this is another thing not to be used without the proper training.

    What can I say? Another great video.
    ref: The scissors issue. I think I found an answer for you. As I was looking through the Staples catalog I saw Wescott Elite Stainless steel scissors
    822841-A3
    They have the shape of the crappy EMT type with the high grade steel and long cut of the Fiskers.
    Hope this is useful to someone.

    A word on the airway SIG and adam talked about: I would rather go for a Guedel airway - also very compact and less easy to screw up for untrained people. Maybe that would be an option?

    Anyway: Outstanding series :-) Really good stuff - keep it up!

    All best :-)

    instead of ipecac you should carry some activated charcoal gel if you are worried about poison.

    I myself am in the medical field and, I strongly agree with SIG. Do NOT use a nasopharyngeal air way tube unless you have been trained for proper use age. Also Nut’n The “blue Gloves” you mentioned are Nitrile gloves(extremely expensive when compared to latex gloves). they are now more and more common because of the allergy to the latex gloves and the powder inside of them.

    great vid nut’n
    awesome work!

    Hey nutnfancy, what’s your opinion on the Israeli trauma bandages? They look like they could come in handy, especially in a WROL scenario.
