Part 4 of 5 //////////////////// My experiences in the outdoors led me to my Level 2 First Aid Kit concept. More capable in depth and breadth than my also-reviewed “Level 1″ First Aid Kit, my Level 2 kit will weigh more and be bulkier but can better handle medium medical emergencies. The kit shown focuses on capabilities in ROL (Rule of Law) situations where the priority is to stabilize the patient and effect transport to better facilities and care (when necessary). In group or vehicular outings, the increase in weight and size of the Level 2 makes the extra capabilities more do-able. Similar to the Level 1, this kit still has an emphasis on stemming blood loss, disinfecting, pain stoppage, wound dressing, and bandage exchange. Size and weight are still players in this 5 lb kit and I don’t achieve the capabilities of Level 3 or Paramedic-level lifesaving kit. As I say in the vid, that type of kit requires medical training and its use comes with extra liability and concerns as a first responder. However I have the Level 2 kit shown has handled my encountered medical situations adequately and absolutely blows away any other kits I’ve encountered along this POU. Components of the kit and the foundational “Nutnfancy” philosophies involved are explained. An annotated list of my typical Level 2 Kit may be forthcoming (another project!). Compared to even a quality first aid kit, like ones from Adventure Medical Kits this version has more depth ie multiples of common use items …

I am a ex Canadian Military Medic. I once put back together a fellow soldiers leg back together with safety pins. I was out of sutures. It saved his life. But boy did he cures me while I did it. I had no pain killer with me…i was out of them. You are right. You do what you have to do!

Woo, I was about to comment on having a lightsource until I saw the penlight.
Anyway, the superglue, those are normal off the shelves superglue right? If applied, how do we get rid of it?

Japanese Shears are the best. They can cut through heavy gauge sheet metal but, they are expensive. They do come razor sharp however

if your taking kids (i know, not likley in proper wilderness, but i know some who would) it might be a good idea to have kids or weaker versons of some drugs.

Nutn word to the wise…take out the Non-OTC meds.
If you give some one it, you are opening yourself up for legal issues.
No script no RX meds….its federal law.

Hey Nutn, just an idea for you, I carry poultry scissors in my “level 2″ kit as well as a pair of fiskars. They just seem to do a little better job getting through thicker things (belts, leather boots etc.) Great video, Bro. Keep up the good work.

“Who wouldn’t know those are cotton balls?” I don’t know…someone might think it’s your fake Santa Claus beard
Extremely informative videos. Thanks very much for putting all the time and effort into offering your knowledge and experiences to the rest of us.

I agree that a quality light is essential for general tasks, but the disposable penlights are what you want for checking pupil reactivity, which is an important diagnostic if you’re trained. You don’t want a bright light to shine directly into someone’s eye, it’s irritating to your patient and makes it harder to see the pupil reacting. I carry a disposable penlight and a brighter, general-purpose light.

Another warning with carrying the Percocet, or any other prescription drug for that matter: DO NOT travel with those, either on a plane or across borders, unless they are in their original container, prescribed to you, and the scrip is current. Even though they were legitimately prescribed to you, once you remove them from the original bottle or the scrip expires, they are treated as an illegal controlled substance and you can be charged. It sounds stupid, but it’s true.

Doesn’t matter if there hasn’t been a case if some dip decides to take it then is allergic he or his family can sue you HARD.
July 20th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
If they ask for the OTC then yes but if you say YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS then you are prescribing and that is illegal. They can ask for it but it has to be OTC only nothing else. And that is all states.

There are state laws that prohibit the unlicensed practice of medicine, but this does not include First Aid, providing informal advice about a co-worker’s cold, or a buddy asking you for some aspirin.

I have looked through the DEA’s Controlled Substances Act, and Federal Trafficking Penalties, none of which pertain to non-prescription, non-scheduled drugs.
Common otc drugs are not considered controlled substances by the DEA (the gov’t organization that enforces our drug laws).

@armypenguin I will put some stuff together tonight and send it to you.
July 20th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
sure you can send that to me in the pm we got going back and forth.

@armypenguin I realy want to do acupunncture, I to have heard it is awesome for bad backs. I broke my back in 6 places and neck in 2. I have severe nerve pain because of such and I currently use a TENS unit to shock my nerves. It works but I realy want to try the elctro-acupuncture. mint is great to sooth nausea, cramps, and sore throats, but back pain unsure. I can give you alot of cheap herbal stuff you can do easily & regularly if you like to try it.

@pfarnsworth84 Look up the law. I am sure if you can comment on youtube then you can type in drug laws.
