I never said there was anything wrong with making your own. I make all of mine from scratch. I’m just saying a storebought one is better than the crap that guy put together.

No actually no, a headache could be very irritating in a survival situation… And no it’s not for pussies if u don’t know what pain is.

a good thing to have in a med kit also is some butterflys or superglue, also a spare pair of boot laces for tounequets and/or slings, and yes men .. a tampon is a good idea.. good way to plug a puncture wound, or bullet wound hunting.

I’m going to pack stickers in my BOB from now on. Did you have anything with you for survival purposes ie: knife, matches, canteen, flashlight, compass, scissors? On my keychain I carry a small 1 inch piece of strike steel, chinese folding scissors, a tiny compass and a mini maglite. In my pocket or on my belt I carry a mini multi-tool. I carry these items with me always! Be well

once i got lost and my phone did not work because i broke the screen on the iphone
so i had to use stickers to mark trees
and wasted 3 hours walking around.

When using the plastic type bags that are shown first, a good idea might be to add some duct tape tabs in the top middle of the bag so you don’t have to mess around and fumble while your fingers are wet and/or numb. Makes it easier to open up the bag in case you need the kit.

Why do so many people resort to putting down the videos and the makers of the videos? Give constructive criticism. Tylenol should be in EVERY medical kit. It is a decent pain reliever and it can bring down fevers. Other medications such as motrin also help pain and fever but if there is an injury with bleeding the motrin can increase the bleeding. Also motrin (nsaids) need to be taken with food or milk and tylenon does not. if you don’t like this video then make 1 yourself and post it.

In a survival situatuion a headache is the least of your worries deal with the headache like a man tylenol is for pussies, any premade store bought medical kit is better than that one
