Prepper PING - Sarge and The Bride LIVE with Doctor Bones and Nurse Amy!
Believe all you posted Sarge yet you commented on the medical bags they had.
Were these for sale or just demonstration ?
If I was selling Fords then I would tell you Chevy’s don’t run per se ....
BTW last refresher cert class I went to took my surgical stapler away from me saying to pack the wound vs closure to preclude infection.. ? They saying to close the wound now ??
Stay safe !
Just saying ......

bookmark.
it was an ad but also the first part was about how unrealistic it is to spend hundreds of dollars on medical equipment that most people have no idea of when, why or how to use... the videos in post #8 are much more useful
Sheesh, it’s time to reacquaint myself wlth some very
old training. Thanx for the links.
Ping for later...
Squantos, the gear they had in the room was for display and for sale. They had a bag from Voodoo tactical that they recommended, but the rest of the bags were available on their website.
They have trauma bags, crash kits, and a dental bag as well. Be warned that the prices aren’t cheap by any means, but the gear is great quality.
I’ll let The Bride answer the medical side...
Very Good ..... With our Blizzard today in the Panhandle I have plenty of time to watch !
My Blow Out Kits carried forever have such as baggies and iodine to irrigate, sanitary napkins and tampons as blood stoppers verses expensive IDF blood stoppers, super glue, Hibaclense, ace wraps, Kling Gauze etc ... store bought stuff is Celox and Quik Clot for bleeders, decompression needle, Nasopharyngeal Airway, Asherman chest seals, One Hand tourniquets x 3, sharpie Markers, Eye Wash Cup etc ...
Thats gist of my kits at home, work and vehicles....
Grateful !
Thanks Sarge !
Stay safe !
Sarge asked me to answer your question. If you had your fun toy taken away, and was told to pack the wound, then there was possibly signs of infection or the wound was too big or maybe even too deep to close. I'm not sure what type of class you were in but part of making the decision to either suture, staple or pack is to check signs of infection. If the edge of the cut was warm or hot, red, swollen, or showing signs of pus (inside also), you don't want to close the wound until the infection is gone. Doing a wet-to-dry dressing would help the wound to heal (and the person would be happier that you didn't induce more pain). Just remember to clean the wound before you make your decision.

That sounds like you have a good bag going there for ya. You can even use clean water and a couple of drops of bleach to clean the wound too. I learned this yesterday. I have super glue (Nurse Amy suggests the gel vs the liquid). Gel won’t go all over the place like the liquid.
Thanks!
Yes Ma’am that was the issue. The USAF PJ instructor said to pack the wound vs close it as even as much as we “think” we cleaned such in the field to close it encapsulated the bug that would infect later. Still have the staplers but just am not quick on the draw with that solution after irrigation of the wound.
clorox ? Good suggestion ....Thanks I learned something !
Stay Safe and I am Grateful for yer time !
