Anyone Who Wants First Aid Supplies Read NOW!!!!

[Medic-5150]

Hey guys,

I got a 20% off coupon from NOLS for taking my WEMT class in January. It's 20% off the entire purchase so if anyone wants anything lets get a big order going. Coupon expires June 1, 2010. http://www.nols.edu/store/home.php

If anyone's interested let me know.

[Chris]

I'd probably go for some stuff from this page. http://www.nols.edu/store/home.php?cat=266

[Medic-5150]

Let me know what you want and I'll get a list going of what everyone wants then we'll figure out a payment plan.

[scout man]

http://www.nols.edu/store/product.php?productid=16505&cat=0&page=1 what are your thoughts on this one Andrew? I need a good first aid kit in my scout, is this something that would be good for a guy like me to carry... someone with no medical training.

i have the exact same question. I am interested in it for sure though.

[Medic-5150]

It's got all the basics in it. First aid really comes down to how creative you can get with what you've got. I'd probably go with this one: http://www.nols.edu/store/product.php?productid=16508&cat=282&page=1 It's considerably less, and the only major difference is the amount of gauze it comes with. Gauze is fairly cheap. It can also be made yourself. A standard sized T-Shirt will make some 30' of gauze if you cut it in a spiral form up the length of the shirt. Boil it and it's sterile. Either or would be good, just depends on how much you want to spend. Gauze is cheap http://www.buyemp.com/product/1111002.html you get 100 pads for 6 bucks.

[Medic-5150]

Same goes for you Chris. The buy EMP website does free shipping on all orders over 100$. None of it's really rocket science. The drugs are what you've got to be careful with, especially the Asprin. I would not advise giving this to anyone in a medical emergency. Take it yourself for pain, but don't give it to anyone else. It can potentially cause problems.

After everything gets ordered and arrives I'd be more than happy to run a small first aid course to answer any questions and such for everyone's new equipment.

Some things that are really useful:

http://www.nols.edu/store/product.php?productid=16513&cat=256&bestseller These can be used for nearly everything!!!!!! You can also make them yourself out of old shirts and sheets and such...Much cheaper that way.

http://www.nols.edu/store/product.php?productid=16259&cat=256&page=2 These are pretty cool! great bandages. Once on, you can't even tell it's there.

Roller gauze is also pretty useful. Make sure you've got some heavy duty medical grade tape. You don't want to use duct tape on the skin, it can rip it off if it stays on for any length of time. If it's on gauze that's OK just not directly on the skin.

That would be great Andrew, Pete & I were just talking about something along that line.

[Rob]

Thanks for this, Andrews.

Sign me up for an Ultralight kit.

[Medic-5150]

Yea, Pete sent me a message as well. We're still working on details. For those that are interested I mentioned www.buyemp.com in a previous post, all orders over 100$ from here receive free shipping so check it out as well. Possibly get an order there as well. They have a lot more of the individual items. It's a great place to buy the Cravats (triangular bandages) A box of 12 is just over 7$

Good choice for an all-purpose. My kit is stocked, I just need to find me some more non-adhesive dressing. It is good stuff.

[scout man]

I suppose I will go for the ultralight as well. I need to get something in the scout and I am running out of room fast. This seems like a good thing to have.

[Fordguy77]

I am rather found of Vet rap to be honest with you. its pretty great stuff and literally only sticks to itself. its primary use is for horses and such. But its more than fit for human use. My grandma is a vet, or i'd never even thought of the stuff.

Thanks, never heard of it. Is there a proprietary name for it, or is it just called Vet Wrap?

[Medic-5150]

Those who are interested in an ultralite please specify which one you want. There is the 2.0 and the 3.0. The 3.0 is a couple bucks more, has more tape, more meds, and a little more bandaging stuff. Let me know which one you want I'll put you down on the list. thanks!

[Fordguy77]

put me down for the 3.0

[Fordguy77]

Thanks, never heard of it. Is there a proprietary name for it, or is it just called Vet Wrap?
I am not sure of the actually name of it. Just always called it thought because thats what Grandma calls it. I think i have some in the garage. I'll check for ya when i get a chance.

Everybody needs a basic to excellent first aid kit in their rig....period...Get one...

Vet Wrap you will probably find at We Be Pets 'N S***(Pets R US). It is where I have to go to find DMSO...They have a decent supply of basic animal patch up stuff there...

[scout man]

3.0 for me

[Chris]

For me:

Oral Rehydration Salts - 2
2nd Skin Burn Dressing - 1
Advanced Wound Care - 1
Tweezers/Vial/2-Safety Pins - 1
Triangular Bandage (Cravat) - 2

[Brody]

There is also going to be a round two here for first aid and survival stuff through Farris Survival if this doesn't work out for people right now. I am working on a deal with him to give FR members a good discount on goodies. He has FA stuff along with a huge amount of emergency and survival supplies.

I was looking at his web site and cant seem to find a single product on it. I dont know if it is just bad links or what, but the only thing I can get to open is the manufacturers tab, and it is completely blank. I cant get any search terms to turn up a result either.

[Chris]

Looks like it's still being built.

Forgot to mention that his site information got messed up and didn't cross over to his new site like it should have. He is in the process of having to manually transfer all the information over by hand. I am going to be checking in with him at the end of the month for both the FR discounts and whatever he is going to contribute to the giveaway. I'll post up whenever his site is operational. He wasn't a very happy man about the state of the website when I talked to him...

What I am going to try to do with him is to help put together a 'newbie' 4x4 emergency basic kit...not recovery stuff, but essential survival items, and offer it as a discounted 'package' for newcomers to Front Range 4x4 wheeling.

[scout man]

cool, sounds good. I'll check back on that site sometime and see if anything is there. I am always interested in survival stuff.

[Brody]

cool, sounds good. I'll check back on that site sometime and see if anything is there. I am always interested in survival stuff.

Don't buy anything until I get some discounts set up. I have known Bob for quite awhile and, bad mood or not, he wanted to do something like this.

[scout man]

yea, I will wait, i was just looking to see what sorts of stuff he had available. No $$ right now anyways, but I find survival stuff fun to look at sometimes.

[Medic-5150]

Steve, Chris and Chris, I got you guys down!

[BlueMoonMobile]

Thanks, never heard of it. Is there a proprietary name for it, or is it just called Vet Wrap?
If you go to a vet-supply shop or a tack shop and ask for Vet-wrap they will know exactly what our looking for. I use it on horses and have used it on myself. Great stuff. Just make sure you have a sharp utensile to cut it with.

Put me down for a First Responder Kit #16505, a Patient Assessment Cloth Bandanna, 2x Pro Heat heat pack, and Backcountry First Aid and Extended Care 5th Edition #16485 please!!

[ROKTAXI]

I'm going for the 16504 Explorer First Aid Kit. Look like the bag is a little beefier and I can stuff other medical stuff in there.

[Chris]

He wasn't a very happy man about the state of the website when I talked to him...

That sucks for him, it looks like he's faced with manually entering a lot of stuff. Doesn't get much more tedious than that.

[Brody]

Yeah, he is even grumpier than I am on the best of days, so having to deal with manually entering all that data wasn't the high point of his day. He had just found that out a few hours before hand.

[Medic-5150]

Got ya down for 1!

[Brody]

You folks out there that do not have a first aid kit in your rig, need to to get one. Some of you do not have a first aid kit in your home, either...band aids and a tiny squeeze tube of first aid cream do not constitute a first aid kit.....

People that do not have some sort of First Aid kit need to smarten up and get one. This is a good chance to get one for a discounted price.

[Medic-5150]

diddo on what Pete said. All orders basically come with a personal instructional period so you can learn how to use anything in there you're not sure about. Don't pass this up! For those that may be new to the forum here's a link to a first aid thread I started several months ago. http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?6237-Your-First-Aid-Kit

[ROKTAXI]

Think I'll get the 16507 one for the car as well.

[Medic-5150]

Think I'll get the 16507 one for the car as well.

I'll put you down for one ultralite 2.0 as well.

Hope I never have to use either one!

Hey guys,

I got a 20% off coupon from NOLS for taking my WEMT class in January. It's 20% off the entire purchase so if anyone wants anything lets get a big order going. Coupon expires June 1, 2010. http://www.nols.edu/store/home.php

If anyone's interested let me know.

From Pete: If you need this stuff, let's get it ordered now. If you don't have first aid stuff, then you are making a classic mistake....The "It's not going to happen to me" one. Bad move....You need to get a basic to excellent FA kit and/or medical supplies going on for both your rig and your home. This kind of stuff SAVES LIVES!! Your puny little WalMArt special that you picked up for $5 ain't worth spit...

And PLEASE PREPAY Andrew for this however he dictates payment should be made. He is doing this as a service to the people on this forum.

[scout man]

Hey andrew, any rough estimate as to when you are going to put the order in? Just curious for financial planning purposes. I also had a job interveiw this morning, so there is a slight chance I might be able to add to my order by the time you put the order in. Just curious.

There's no hurry to let me know what you want. I'm going to give people a chance to see the thread and decide on what they want. It all depends on how much action the thread gets. You've got time to think about adding something. I've also got to wait to get paid so I can pay my credit card off to purchase the order.

[scout man]

cool, thanks Andrew

[Medic-5150]

cool, thanks Andrew

No problem. People are welcome to order as much as they want. If it goes over about 400$ I'm going to need the money upfront as my credit limit isn't that high lol. So far we're still good. There doesn't seem to be a huge interest in buying much. I would assume it's because people are low on money..

[scout man]

let me know before you order and i will try to get money to you ahead of time. there is no reason for you to be fronting all that money or putting it on your credit card.

[Medic-5150]

I'm only putting it on my credit card cause I get 1% back :-P lol. When it gets closer I'll let everyone know how it's going to bed done, payment options, etc.

[Medic-5150]

Thread bump....

[Medic-5150]

Last bump on this thread. I'll be placing the order soon. Presuming Scout Man has made his final decisions. If you haven't I'll hold off on ordering for a short time period

[scout man]

Dont wait on my behalf! I will stick to my original order. Thanks!

[Medic-5150]

Dont wait on my behalf! I will stick to my original order. Thanks!

oki doki. I get paid Thursday, so it looks like Saturday will be order day. I'll send everyone a PM with the amount they owe and payment options. My plan was to just divide shipping between everyone who bought something as I can't calculate shipping individually. The other thing I can do is divide shipping by the number of total items and charge per item..Any thoughts? Or better ideas on how to deal with shipping?

the most accurate method would be this really cool ratio of weight to items ordered, but thats way to much math and such, i am a group kinda guy, so i wouldn't mind just splitting amongst the ones who ordered, but i will also go with the other idea of per number of items.

[Medic-5150]

Yea, Ideally it would be to figure it out per pound, which I can do, but that's a whole lot of work. I'm not especially up for that. If someone else is I'd be more than happy to provide total shipping weight and shipping cost along with who ordered what..

[scout man]

I am ok with whatever

I enjoy math and all, and normally i would really be up for something like that for fun. But i got all these numbers stuck in my head from work, and it totally sucks. Spent all day calculating gear changes for Body Makers(makes beer cans), and the rest of the day aligning everything. I am pretty stoked to get my kit from you though. I might throw one more thing on before saturday, and if i don't get to it, don't worry about it.

[CR]

Hey Andrew sorry to chime in so late. Can you put me down for one of the $25 dollar packs? Like the one we talked about earlier?
Thanks and let me know what I need to do.

[Medic-5150]

Will do CR

I'm waiting for my credit card payment to clear. Looks like I'll be placing the order Monday. Any last minute additions?

[Medic-5150]

Whats your take on the NOLS medkit,

I was contemplating getting it myself. It seems to be glamorized and I'm not going to get it because of that. There's a lot of "neat" things in there like the second skin, moleskin, thermometer, etc. but most of that you don't really need. A thermometer is going to be just about useless in the wilderness....If they're sick you'll know. If they're .4 degrees over normal temp who cares...As far as actual meds, the other kits come with more. Also, if you're not trained, don't administer meds you could mess someone up big time. My take on first aid kits is with enough tape, gauze, and a couple compression wraps you can fix just about anything. Most of that stuff can be made out of clothing and such anyways, except the tape. If you've got absolutely nothing I think the ultralight 3.0 is the wise choice. Like I've said before, if you don't know how or when to use it without the instructions, take it out of your first aid kit and don't bring it until you know how and when to use it. I'm also still willing to offer a kind of tutorial on everything once it arrives. Hopefully I can answer most people's questions then.

My ideal first aid kit would consist mostly of the following:
Lots of tape, different widths
Some sterile gauze
Tweezers
A syringe
Antihistamines
some ibeuprofin
and at least one compression wrap (ACE bandage type thing)

I'd feel pretty confident that I could manage most incidents with that. Maybe not ideally but there's a lot that can be done with very little and it saves a lot of weight and space if you improvise. Of course the kit will change depending on where I'm going, how far out I'll be, how long I'll be gone, and potential dangers I might encounter. But as a general base, that's it.

I'd be willing to learn from your tut when it all gets here,
I want to take some kind of formal first aid Training sometime inthe future as well.

[Medic-5150]

I just placed the order. Here's a screen shot of the receipt. I threw some stuff in there for me, so if anyone's wondering why there's extras of something that's why. For ease of calculating who owes what, I'll pay shipping (it was $7 for both). A couple things were out of stock.

Chris: your 2nd skin Burn Dressings were out of stock and could not be back ordered.
Jason Arthur (BlueMoonMobile) Your Pro Heat Heat Packs were out of stock as well.

Here's a list of totals for what everyone owes (including 2.9% sales tax):
Old Rob: You're grand total is $28.81

Chris (Fordboy): Grand total is $28.81

Steve (Scoutman): Grand total of $28.81

Chris: You take the cake... $3.75 (if you'd like we can just trade a window sticker for this to avoid any hassle, it's up to you)

Marty (rocktaxi): your total is $54.53

Jason (BlueMoonMobile): Your total is $58.59

CR: I put you down for an ultralite 3.0 and your total is $28.81

Zatticus: Your total is $28.81

Everything else not accounted for I purchased for myself. In case the image is hard to read, the grand total is $221. 65, Shipping s $7, tax was a whopping $5.37. In total the coupon saved $52.32. When I get an estimated arrival date I'll post it up. As for payment I'm good with cash, check, money order, or paypal. My paypal account is Automaton25@gmail.com I live in Arvada near 82nd and Sheridan if you want to drop payment off let me know and we'll work out a time. If you need to mail payment PM me and I'll give you my address. Any questions let me know.

[Chris]

Okay, mine was post #22 but that's fine. I missed that 2nd skin was out of stock and not having the advanced wound care in there makes a difference. Yeah, a sticker trade sounds good. ;)

Sorry about that Chris. I had everything else, not sure how I missed the Advanced Wound Care kit. I think I'll be ordering some stuff from buy EMP.com so I can get you some stuff then if you'd like. I'll let you know if/when I decide to order.

Now why doesn't that surprise me? But he's not cheap. He's frugal.

[Brody]

Anyone that lives up north or close to me is welcome to have Medic drop the stuff off here at my house for a pick up. He lives and works not too far away. I would prefer to not have to handle the any money going to Andrew, but I assume that these are already paid for. I will deal with the money if I have to , but that is going to require Andrew getting in touch with me on it before any non paid for items leave my hands.

[Medic-5150]

Everyone who's expecting stuff at Pete's....I know I said I'd drop it off Friday, I didn't make it. Some stuff that came up and had to be dealt with. I'll make sure it's there by the 27th so he can bring it to the anniversary run. I've also lost my list of who ordered what...I think it's buried somewhere in this thread...I'll be in contact with anyone who has an order I'm unsure of. Thanks for your patience.

[Medic-5150]

Here's a list of totals for what everyone owes (including 2.9% sales tax):
Old Rob: You're grand total is $28.81 PAID (your kit is at Pete's House)

Chris (Fordboy): Grand total is $28.81 PAID

Steve (Scoutman): Grand total of $28.81 PAID

Chris: You take the cake... $3.75 PAID

Marty (rocktaxi): your total is $54.53 PAID

Jason (BlueMoonMobile): Your total is $58.59 PAID

CR: Your total is $28.81 STILL WAITING

Zatticus: Your total is $28.81 STILL WAITING

[Medic-5150]

Thank you to everyone who paid promptly! It's greatly appreciated. Zatticus, I still need you money!

I have a first aid kit here that Chris dropped off the other day for you. It is probably Zach's.

My 2 cents here: Next time you sell these, get all the money up front so that you don't have to badger the people who don't pay promptly. It really isn't too damn cool to order something, have the person who is offering the product have his money out for it, and then have to wait for the money...or have to remind people to pay him.

Hear that Zach? Don't have the money to pay for something, best to not order it to begin with....

[Medic-5150]

That is Zach's first aid kit. I'll be over tomorrow morning to pick it up, if that's OK with you Pete. And yes, I should have got the money up front, lesson learned!

[Chris]

Don't forget to get your FR4x4 sticker too Andrew!

[Chris]

No good deed goes unpunished. Pretty much why we don't have t-shirts or another order of hats. :frown:

[Smash]

Wow this is rather ridiculous. I can't believe folks still haven't paid. I'd be flooding their PM boxes...

[Medic-5150]

I've sent a couple.....

I won't forget my sticker!!!!! I've waited long enough for that thing lol.

[Chris]

I've waited long enough for that thing lol.

You sure have, I was happy I finally remembered!

[Brody]

Yeah....Chris ran into this when he did the hat order. People ordered hats, didn't pay for them. Chris had based the order on the number of hats that people were supposed to pay for and ended up with a bunch of left over hats THAT HE PAID FOR.

I certainly wouldn't be too damn happy if this stuff happened to me and wouldn't even consider doing it again unless all the money was up front. You folks that are wanting hats or FR T shirts even wonder why the offer isn't extended, there is your reason.

[Mporter]

I kinda wondered why the T-shirt idea never took off, and I figured that was gonna be the reason.

[Chris]

I've done t-shirts in the past for other things and as much as I'd like one myself I'm not in a position to do it again. Anyone interested on taking it on is welcome to, I'll buy a few! ;)

[Medic-5150]

Thanks for the sticker Chris!

[Chris]

Thanks for the sticker Chris!

I hope it doesn't take as long for you to put it on as it did for me to get it to you Andrew!

My suggestion on this, whether it be hats, T shirts, first aid kits, stickers, etc., is to do a pre pay for everything before it is even ordered. That way the money is in hand for the products, the people really want the products, and the person who is offering the products isn't out a bunch of money and being forced to try to collect from the people who are total slackers...

It is one thing to be a 'nice guy' and quite another to be a nice guy and then find out that you are stuck with a bunch of hats, first aid kits, etc, that you have paid for and no one now wants...The 'nice guy' part starts to go out the window pretty quickly...

You see this on other forums quite often, especially in 'group buys' where someone can get a discount on, for instance, rock rails. There is an initial big response and all these people spark up about "Oh yeah...for sure...count me in, yada, yada" The guy that that puts it together then buys a bunch of sliders at a discount. When he gets them, the people that wanted them all of a sudden either don't have the money or aren't interested, leaving the 'nice guy' holding the bag and out a bunch of money. Totally uncool in my book. This has happened here, though not on this scale, luckily, but it would be nice not to see it happen again.

I have a couple of products that I am going to start selling. These aren't even going to get packaged up until I have been paid....gee...sounds like the way most companies do business, doesn't it? Offering items sale on the forum like what I have mentioned is no different and shouldn't be treated any differently...

agreed.

Hey Andrew,
Is it only first aid type stuff that you can get or can you get other medical equipment? The reason I ask is that I'm going to be delivering our second child at home and would like to have some medical equipment for the off chance that something goes wrong. I have a medical background from before the Army, so I'm not going into this blind, plus I've been reading every book that I can get my hands on about the subject and will be taking a neonatal resuscitation course shortly.

I think the reason this didn't really apply to this situation was because Andrew had just gotten the coupon and it expired really soon (Correct me if im wrong here) and was an "act fast or lose out" sort of situation. Then again I may be remembering this wrong. But I totally agree with ya Pete.
