Pt 1: “Level 2″ First Aid Kit Review by Nutnfancy

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:51:21 +0000

Part 1 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 increased size and weight of a typical Level 2 is 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 i.e. multiples of common use items which can better handle longer duration scenarios. It is difficult for makers like AMK to make kits to this level because of the markedly elevated cost in doing so (and then they won’t sell well because of that). As noted, my kits are transitional in nature and will include improved medical technologies that have merit and can improve or simplify my treatment capabilities. Handling medical emergencies on your adventures is your responsibility and help may be far away. You will also find that few people even carry a First Aid kit with this much capability and you will be the on-site medical expert since you’re prepared (been there). Having such a kit will minimize pain, injury, and maybe even save a life… possibly yours. Be prepared.

Part 1 Personal Emergency Kit Bailout Bag BOB

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 09:05:36 +0000

Wranglerbarn and family have purchased a remote wilderness property in the Pacific Northwest. We will be documenting our progress on youtube. Our goal for the last 3 years has been to get out of debt and build a self-sustaining homestead. Massive personal debt is destroying our economy and our lives. The hectic American Dream is robbing us of happiness and peace of mind. Our lives have become far too complicated and hectic. Our homes are filled with noise and distractions. Its time to slow down. Its time to get back to the basics of faith and family. Runaway spending by our government and socialist creep is destroying the United States from within. Our goal is to live off grid. We will use a combination of solar, hydroelectric, and wind power. We will heat with a firewood boiler. I will be uploading how to videos that cover personal home protection, canceled carry options, and general survival techniques, strategies, as well as our WROL or without rule of law homestead. We are not survivalists. We are patriots that wish to focus on building a closer relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. True happiness and contentment comes from God, Faith, and the love of family. I was inspired to start making videos my nutnfancy. Many thanks to TNP for support and inspiration

Emergency Car Kit

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:05:25 +0000

This video is about my emergency car kits that I have assembled in case one of our vehicles is involved in an accident, break down, or is stuck/stranded due to weather or some other unforeseen reason. The area I live in is subject to cold winters and hot summers, so I had to prepare for everything. Adjust the contents as appropriate for your area (more water if you’re in a desert area, etc) and personal needs (weapons, maps, etc).
