Base Camp Med Kit - What You Need

What are the pockets on the lid? I would like some for my setup

I'd like to get my kit better organized. Where can I aquire the organization system you have in your pelican 1500?

Are any of these for sale?

Forgot to say BSI SCENE SAFE!

How do you deal with the cost factor of constantly expiring medicines and supplies? It's something I struggle with in my different hiking/ camping first aid kits.

I’m the captain of an inland/rivers commercial tow boat. The vessels I work on normally have a crew of 5 to 8 people on board with woefully inadequate first aid kits; although we do often have AED stations. Do you have a published list of what you would recommend for a trauma kit and for a separate general first aid base kit available somewhere? I want to put together a trauma kit I can carry with me so at least I will have what we need in an emergency situation, beyond the very basic commercial style first aid kit on board.

I think everyone has a pulse oximeter these Covid days. 😂

Nicely done.

👍

Man I love listening to someone who absolutely knows what they’re talking about. I just love seeing such knowledgeable people

Is there a place i can purchase one of the inners for the case? I have a couple of hard cases lying around so don't need to buy a pelecon one. But i can't find the inners anywhere

I spy some recon medical equipment and that makes me happy 😊

Awesome video, is this full kit available to purchase anywhere?

Very nicely done. I really appreciate your pragmatic approach. BTW, as an OBG, I might suggest you add a couple sanitary napkins &/or tampons for female travelers. We often use them as ABDs over our C/S incisions - so, they're multifunctional. And for kids - I always pack those chewable Benadryl-good for allergic rxns, night time congestion & maybe a little sedation.

Do you carry an AED

Need to go wheeling with this guy!

hi, its interested your video, im searching a house first aid box and expedition travel box, one that i can use it in both option, having at home and if i travel for expedition i can take it in the car, with option can you give? thanks

What brand of pulse oximeter do you recommend?

Thank you very much! I've been waiting for these video for the longest. much needed

Good overview, not just for overland but preppers as well. I had everything mentioned except the pulse ox and syringe, just purchased them. Of course as an MD you could have more advanced meds like what paramedics have on hand.

And as a general topic no one wants to see the host's face more than a couple of seconds, but if you have no b roll then I get it. sorry too boring

Ephasizing the kit without the emt training is silly and could be dangerous. No one needs a stapler for instance. Get adequate training, then you will know what to buy and how to use it.. BTW I am a wilderness EMT.

Can’t find the kit check list, great vid

Love the kits. This combat medic approves of your 'sick call' kits!

Good stuff!

Thoughts on a tourniquet?

Hehe, those Dutch names on that Camel Defender :P

At what point does basic first aid, becomes a medical professional’s procedure? I understand the life and death thing, and stop the bleeding etc. However only a doctor can diagnose, and treat problems beyond the basics. Right? I’m not being negative and think awareness and first aid training is a must for us overlanders. However..... maybe these huge kits are a bit much for the average non medical person.

Where can you find the on call with chris series?

In my state syringe possession is a felony

Thanks Chris. Have the trauma kit put together. Now to update our base camp kit..and get refresher training.

The more reminders we get to "be prepared" the better - thanks!

Thanks Chris, I appreciate your videos. I built my BOO BOO kit and Trauma kit based off your recommendations.

Nice! I need to see the full contents list to build upon my existing kit I carry.

People that say this kit is not worth it... build it and keep it at home and toss it in the truck when you head out on a trip.

I looked all over the forums, can someone post a link to the kit list

Now that's a Nice Overland ride
Land Rover 110

Super glue, duct tape and whiskey.

Very helpful

i carry a pretty extensive kit too. we even have a stapler. great episode here! very important, thank you. one great tip is to carry first aid even if you don't know what to do with it. someone may be there or come along who does.

Good info. I'm an EMT and have a pulse-ox in my kit. I also have a BP cuff because that may prompt me to call 911 for patient evacuation/transport to a higher level of care even when signs or systems don't indicate to. It is also a useful tool to convince a patient to transport when they might otherwise want to AMA.

So glad this series is being made. THANK YOU for helping us confidently enjoy safer experiences!

Not worth it. Don't put yourself in that position. The contents of these kits are time sensitive.

Great! Been waiting for this one.

Nice. And first
