first aid after shtf

Will disposable food prep gloves stop a virus? I think the answer is yes, but wanted to ask for other opinions. Full confession: I thought I had two boxes of good quality gloves. That was until I went looking for the gloves, and all I could find was one box. Amazon order history shows two...

Any luck making homemade hand sanitizer for Coronavirus shortages? I mixed up a batch in an empty Germ-X bottle with 1/2 aloe vera and 1/2 Everclear. It came out tacky that dried after a few minutes. Got some mixed up now that is about 1/3 aloe vera and 2/3 Everclear. This feels the best...

First of all. thank you. You have an unimaginable task ahead of you. If this thread serves no other purpose, I hope it would let you know that you are incredibly appreciated and that your sacrifice is going to save countless lives. You are all heros. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! That...

I heard people were making hand sanitizer out of aloe vera gel and everclear, so I dropped by the local liquor store to get a bottle of Everclear. One of the employees usually worked at another liquor store, and he told me the other store was almost out of Everclear. He also told me people had...

Hey all, I haven't posted on here in a really long time (long boring story of me checking out on life in general!) So hello all! Anywhoo, i'm on a plethora of hardcore meds Fentnyl and Oxycodone being the hardest. I'm in the UK and I have a maximum of 28 days of my Fentanyl and 2 weeks of...

Ya'll gotta check this book out, especially today. Just finished this book that Someone I go to church with recommended- snapped it up on Amazon for short money... Talk about survival, this chick got blown up at the boston marathon and lost her leg..... true story to boot, pretty crazy and...

so this is a question I've been looking for an answer to but can't seem to find anything. In my part of the country there's plenty of flora, but how much of it has any medical benefit? I learned how to identify most of the poisonous or dangerous plant life, but anything that could treat a burn...

This is for the people whom argue CS does not kill bacteria. Probably though they won't even bother to look and if they do won't reply.:rolleyes: http://thesilveredge.com/video-how-to-prove-colloidal-silver-kills-bacteria.shtml http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3q6fp-gbtpM

Just wondering what type of first aid kits are in use and where to go for some first aid training?

What do most of you plan to do in case of injury or illness beyond what a first aid kit can handle

I cut my foot pretty good this weekend. It's about 1.25 long and .25 wide right on the pad of my foot. That's what I get for drinking without shoes on... I know better than that. Anyway, I couldn't find any bandages big enough in the medicine cabinet and had stocked up on a bunch of first aid...

Not to steal the fire from any other First Aid Kit threads, but i want to talk about minimalist ones. Least ammount of gear possible. I used to carry around a little bag that had all of the doo dads and whatnots that "should" be in a FAK, but I wanted to scale it down. I have recently started...

Ok so I’ve been doing a lot of research about first aid, as well as taking classes and asking questions on here. I also been asking questions on what works and what doesn’t work. I’m kind of getting annoyed with the whole, do this then do that, then go get help, or seek medical attention at...

I've currently been looking at first aid gear for a SHTF scenario and this pack caught my eye. I was hoping you could look at it and give a professional opinion of it. Please and Thank You. http://www.survival-supply.com/stomp-medic-p-5568.html

Thought I would start a thread about all the uncommon stuff you can use in a first aid kit to save money or deal with specific problems. Mine is feminine hygiene products... Tampons in the applicator are easily inserted into the chest cavity in the event of a GSW or other type of "sucking...

I'm almost through with paramedic school and will be the lone "medical professional" in my group when the SHTF scenario arrives. We all have assigned some roles as far as stockpiling supplies and one of my roles will be assembling a medical bag and medical supplies. This wont be used as some...

A few weeks ago I was talking to a friend and they brought up a good point. He said you should always keep a very basic first aid book / guide in your first aid kit. I asked why, after all I know how to use all of the supplies I keep in my first aid kit. Ah but what if you're the one that gets...

In looking for a First Aid Kit, I've come across of a ton of pre-packaged kits that look like they try to cover every conceivable circumstance that can be handled within the parameters of that particular kit (dependent on size/budget of course). The AOL Basic Kit I picked up is full of stuff...

I have a large alice pack that i got for christmas from a friend and am now using it as my bug out bag. But its so large that the things i have in it dont even take up a fourth of the room. I have cooking, shelter, water, fire, tools, and food procurement as well as camouflaging covered as well...

These are bags you can setup, to be grabbed and thrown into a car in a SHTF Emergency. I got most of these things on Amazon over a period of time. They sell everything the cheapest, with extremely quick shipping. Feel free to add suggestions. And heres a video of BOB (Bug Out Bag) Basics...
