Eric –Welcome to episode #31 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, recorded July 31 2019.
My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show. I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such as ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer.
Alan - I’m Alan, and my friends and family call me a safety nerd. My background as a First Responder developed a mind for safety. I teach first aid and coach family and friends to be better prepared. I'm a locksmith by trade and have worked in the physical security industry for more than 20 years now.
Andrew - Normally you can listen to me hosting Canadian Patriot Podcast. I’m a recovering libertarian, competitive shooter, and firearms instructor at Ragnarok Tactical. Use the discount code “patriot” at checkout on Ragnarok Tactical to save 10%. We specialize in selling traumatic first aid supplies, and I’m a Stop the Bleed instructor.

Gavin - Business owner, gun owner, volunteer first responder, regular CPP Panelist, Instructor with Ragnarok Tactical and International man of mystery

Eric – We have some critical care content for you in this episode, We’re going to start off with some news articles relating to preparedness and the outdoors. Next we will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode. Then we’ll get into the main topic for this episode - Individual First Aid kit contents and construction.

News -
Alan - https://globalnews.ca/news/5705538/garlic-festival-shooter/
Kudos to the reporter at Global for identifying the firearm used as a ‘semi-automatic rifle’ and nothing else. The event was protected by fences and metal detectors. Police on site killed the shooter within a minute. It does go to show that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY for preps

Andrew - This week is loading more 223 rifle ammo.
Alan - been a long week of school and training. I can throw hose like champ now, and every muscle in my body hurts. I did some fire tinder prep cutting up limbs and clearing the property of further hazards
Gavin - bought a giant berky
Eric - Got out on the range and took the AR-15 for a spin. . . also gave the 9mm and 22 pistol some attention as well

Main Topic -
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here)
Alan - What is an IFAK? Individual First Aid Kit is a fairly generic term, but the essence is that it’s the tools you need to save a life (your own, mostly).
Basic contents:
Tourniquet
Pressure Dressing
Hemostatic Gauze
Chest Seal
Medical gloves (not black. Any colour but black. The lighter the better)
If you don’t know how to use these things, take a StopTheBleed class (if you’re Toronto way, Ragnarok Tactical offers them, if you’re in SouthWestern Ontario, message me and I’ll set one up)
Chest seals: not covered by the STB curriculum, but an important tool to have. It’s a one-way valve that allows air to escape a penetrating chest wound without allowing air to enter the plural space between the lung and the chest wall from the outside. A combat medic told me once that the best tool to help with a chest seal is duct tape. On hairy or wet (sweaty/bloody) skin, they can fail. Duct tape around the edges keeps them in place. The guy who’s bleeding won’t mind the wax job on his chest, I promise.
I challenge everyone who owns a gun, hunts, fishes, hikes, camps, or spends any time more than 3 minutes from an ambulance to build and know how to use an IFAK. There are a million stories of unintentional trauma that causes death because someone couldn’t stop the bleeding.

Andrew - First off, I’m not an expert, but I am a Stop the Bleed Instructor, and I have received training on all the products I sell and some we don’t. I’m not a doctor, nurse, EMT, and odds are you aren’t either, so get training and understand what you are able and qualified to do. The time to make decisions is now, not when you see someone bleeding to death
Why do you want an IFAK? What is an IFAK?
Improved First Aid Kit, Blowout Kit, Ventilated Operator Kit. A first aid kit that is able to address massive traumatic injury. What are you trying to do? Keep someone from dying until you can hand them over to a higher level of care. How do we go about that?
MARCH Protocol vs ABCs
Airway
Breathing
Circulation
Major Hemorrhaging
Airway
Respirations
Circulation
Head Injuries, Minor Hemorrhaging, Hypothermia/Shock
Major Hemorrhaging
Massive hemorrhage is managed through the use of tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, junctional devices, and pressure dressings.
Tourniquet. CAT, SOFTT-W, or SAM.
Hemostatic dressings. Celox vs Quickclot
Airway
Airway is managed by rapid and aggressive opening of the airway
Nasopharyngeal Airway, NPA. Standard size is 28 Fr. Get lube.
OPA get training
Respirations
Respirations and breathing is managed by the assessment for tension pneumothorax and aggressive use of needle decompression devices to relieve tension and improve breathing.
Not breathing - Rescue Breaths, pocket mask, or BVM
Tension pneumothorax - Chest Seal or Needle Decompression Kit
Circulation
TCCC promotes the early and far forward use of blood and blood products if available. Standard methods for circulation improvement, such as laying the patient flat, maintaining body temperature and careful fluid resuscitation all apply
Head Injuries & Hypothermia/Shock
Where to keep your IFAK
Car
Home
Bag/Purse/Pocket/Ankle holster

On purchasing first aid supplies;
Some items requires the buyer to have training (quikclot)
Other items are frequently counterfeit (tourniquets on Amazon)
Some items expire or lose efficacy over time (medications/hemostatic)
Some expiration dates don’t necessarily mean the product is no good (expiration dates on sealed sterile bandages)
Naloxone is free in Ontario
Tourniquets may degrade over time if exposed to UV light or other conditions
There are other kinds of tourniquets. Refer to the Council on Tactical Combat Casualty Care for a list of tourniquets that meet their requirements, get a good one
If a tourniquet does not work, apply another
Tourniquets should never be lossend, only removed in a hospital setting
More is always better, bigger is almost always better
Shipping packaging should be removed before packing a kit, sterile packaging should remain sealed and staged appropriately
Ian questions -

Brand preferences for IFAK pouches, shears…..ie CTOMS, etc?
Any training available for TCCC?
Rough cost to budget for a proper IFAK?

Where do the hello kitty bandages and tampons come into play?

PODCAST CHALLENGE
Get a tourniquet. A real one. Not an amazon POS that will break the first time it’s used. Make it part of your EDC whether it’s in your backpack, car, cargo pocket, whatever. Think about your worst case scenario and be able to control bleeding.
Get a Naloxone kit from your local pharmacy

Figure out a work around of one of your housing restrictions. Ie no rainwater allowed, have a water-bob, etc. Also find a way to add storage to your space. Removing a section of drywall between studs will reveal a cavity about 3” deep and 14” wide. Add shelves between the studs and you can store cans there.

PODCAST CHALLENGE

Figure out a work around of one of your housing restrictions. Ie no rainwater allowed, have a water-bob, etc. Also find a way to add storage to your space. Removing a section of drywall between studs will reveal a cavity about 3” deep and 14” wide. Add shelves between the studs and you can store cans there.

Eric –Welcome to episode #27 of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, recorded June 26, 2019.
My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show. I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such has ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer.
(Ian – My name is Ian. I’m not here right now; I have been overwhelmed by the sudden fame of being a massive internet celebrity. I have taken this week off to spend time with my emotional support alpacas.)
Alan - I’m Alan, and my friends and family call me a safety nerd. My background as a Medical First Responder developed a mind for safety. I teach first aid and coach family and friends to be better prepared. I'm a locksmith by trade and have worked in the physical security industry for more than 20 years now.
Hugues - Hello from Canada’s East Coast. I’m Hugues from Nova Scotia, I’m a Canadian Armed Forces Veteran, Volunteer Firefighter and Station Chief, Volunteer Search & Rescue Tech and Prepper. I’ve been preaching and living the prepper lifestyle to varying degrees for the last 6 years or so, this was born out of necessity to ensure the short-term survival of my family which includes three young children.
Owen - Live in Eastern Canada, background in homesteading, blacksmithing, general trades.
Gavin - Business owner, CCFR Field Officer, Volunteer First Responder, Stop the bleed and Firearms instructor with Ragnarok Tactical and podcaster on the other CPP

Guest Spot?

Eric – We have some utilitarian content for you in this episode, We’re going to start off with some news articles relating to preparedness and the outdoors. Next we will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode. Then we’ll get into the main topic for this episode - our personal EDC gear.

WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY for preps

Eric -
Ian -
Alan -
Gavin - too busy traveling, but, I have tested my gear and upgraded my skills in my travels and took a week long tracking class

Main Topic -
Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here)
Ian - Cell phone, Pocket knife, flashlight, multi-tool, eyewear depending on the situation. Always a knife, if legal. I generally carry more on my periphery (suitcases, vehicles, quad, etc), than on my actual person. “Less” is More likely to be carried, but the periphery items ensure you still have what’s needed.
Eric -
Alan -my gear is layered. In my pockets I always have a zippo, a small folder (currently a little wee buck I picked up about 20 years ago at Canadian Tire for $5.99) and a small button-cell flashlight, bandana, car key, wallet and watch. Usually a pair of sunglasses and a ball cap nearby
My lunch box (comes with me every day) has a CPR mask, pair of medical gloves, and a pencil case with a few goodies: multitool (Leatherman classic currently), headlamp, a few spare batteries, charger cords for usb and iPhone, some paracord, a few Band-Aids, a pair of nail clippers, and a lighter. There's also a needle and some silk thread, a little bit of velcro and small wrap of duct tape (both orange and gray)
I have second pouch I don't normally keep with me but is usually in my computer bag. It has another folder, a Ferro rod and magnesium stick, a few razor blades (for fine work), a sharpening stone, a couple of water purification tabs, and more paracord
On top of that is my car kit/get home back which we've already discussed on a previous episode. I've carried more things in the past but rarely find a need for more
Gavin - Glasses, Cell phone, Pocket knife, multitool, pocket lockpick set, escape tools, mini IFAK on my ankle with TQ, Rolled Gauze, Gloves and a Fox Seal, plus my full trauma kit in my trunk along with my 72hr bag and a battery booster pack with air compressor and when possible while traveling in the US I carry my Glock 34 and a spare mag.

PODCAST CHALLENGE
Endeavor to start carrying two of what you consider to be the most useful items as a personal EDC…..
