Medical Kits & First Aid for Survival & Prepping

You're listening the end, you will pay us back. Just to welcome everyone, Survival Scripts. We're gonna go through this baby here in a few this thing shock full of the goodies. Shock Full of the goodies. Our sponsor, Survivalscripts dot Com. Go check them out. We'll go into that kid and see what's all in then look at the whole situation. Very interesting to see what they got going on. You know, what I want to talk about today is kind of a a holistic approach to medical preparedness kids skills reference. I left my reference in the house. Well I have to talk about the reference. I won't be able to show them off for the audio podcast. Wouldn't make any different anyway. You guys are listening to the audio podcast right Spotify, iTunes, wherever you're at. If you listen to us on iTunes and Apple, please give us a review. Man, the dregs of humanity have reviewed our podcast over there we talk. Yeah, we could use a good review. Let's go with that, all right, thank you, guys. So we're over on Instagram, we're over on Rumble right now, we're over on x right now. Unfortunately, we've been obliterated and eviscerated from you tube, and I don't know that we'll ever come back. I think it's time to move on to bigger, better things. We've never had any real income come from YouTube, so I never never really had any influx of listeners come from YouTube. I don't know, it's an ease of access thing. The only thing that I'm on the fence with with YouTube is it's any ease of access, right, everybody's got yous. But with the nature of ads on YouTube and things like that, I'm also wondering how long people are going to have YouTube and use YouTube so much with the nature of censorship on YouTube. Remind you we've been nuked off of YouTube and fundamentally for talking about what we're going to talk about today. It is Medical Monday on Preperate Broadcasting Network. We talk about alternative medicines every Monday, well most Mondays. Right today, we have a great show. I mean one from the archives could just as easily be a throwback Thursday, but it's a great show from Sam Kaufman, who is like one of my favorites. I mean really, Sam Kaufman is one of my all time favorite hosts on PBN. He used to do a show called the erbal medic and he's doing his things. What is that phoenix over there in the Instagram world? How you doing? But he's doing his thing today talking about sustainable herbal medicine, which he did that show probably in like twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, maybe fast forward to twenty twenty six and a big thing that Sam does nowadays is he goes to foreign countries, sets up sand water filtration biofilm sand water filtration I think it's called, and teaches people how to use sustainable herbal medicine. Like this has been the guy's passion forever. This is a great show on just how to do that right, not just how to buy like an herbal medicine kit with some tinctures, some sabs in it and use it and then once it's gone, it's gone, right, but how to grow it, sustain it, store it to the whole thing. I mean, it's it's a great show. It is an awesome pick for Medical Monday. And for me, I just said, you know, I got my survival scripts from our great sponsor, Survivalscripts dot Com. I got that in the mail over the weekend, and I said, why don't we just do it. Talk why don't we just do a medical kids in first aid for survival and prepping kind of overview and talk about things, you know, talk about different kids, talk about different books, talk about really how to use, how to use, and how to get used to using the natural world as medicine. That's important, right, You guys probably want to see kits off the bat, right. I imagine most people they get into the show like the stuff. We're not going to go digging in two kids, but randbow Rogan, how you're doing, but how you've been quiet prepared. I've seen quiet underscore prepared shows a lot showing a lot up on my recommendment to check you out. Who else is in here on the Instagram. It's a good looking group. It's a good looking group. So a lot of people familiar with this kind of a bag, right, the individual first aid kit kind of kit. Right? Uh, I actually use an I fact that it's a lot smaller in the vehicle. You probably would call it like a vehicular I fact or individual first aid kit. I feel like for those of you who don't know, the I fact has an emphasis on like serious trauma, stopta bleed, bullet wound, repairing those that kind of damage. You know what I mean, what I think people used to me. I fact that I put in mind is, you know, sort of the day to day ailments and sort of uh, those more common ailments. In other words, I see I facts kind of packed to the gills with things like tourniquet's, high fin chess seals, like nasal pharyngeal airway these kind of you know, things that you don't see in your average first aid kit. What I go into an I fact for more than anything is ibuprofen and an acid. I mean really, like, when you really think about it, ibuprofen an acid, uh triple antibiotic outmen or massive tracing right, or real band aids that actually work. Right. We don't buy plastic band aids in our house. We only buy the cloth band aids because those are the only ones that actually work. In my opinion, a variety of bandage sizes can help a lot. Another thing I don't know if I but what I have in my vehicle is a pair of tweezers. Man, A pair of tweezers can get you out of so much trouble. Alcohol pads, soak whites. Oh, this is a good one to have on it. People take deep for branded. That one can go a long way, right, I'm showing off a cold compress. Cold compress is an easy one, cheap one thermal blanket, right, A milar blanket can go a long way. But this guy, this is your travel, your tiny travel, your I fact, your individual's first day kid. Maybe throw it on your chest rate from time to time or whatever the situle. I don't have people. I don't do that kind of stuff. This one is usually in the house to be you know, divvied out to whoever's going a place. I have one in the car that's always in the car behind the passenger seat headrest. Another important kit is I think, like an overall first aid kit for the house, one that's mobile, right, Like this is not the extent of our first aid but this is sort of like, oh, something's happened in the dining room, Go grab the kit, you know what I mean. And this is by a company that I go back to. They're not an American company. I really don't care. Survival first aid kit. You can look them up. They're still in business. Survival first They even do a bigger one now than this. They do a black one. And why why do I like these kids? These kids? First of all, these kids been out a long time before it was fashionable to have a first aid kid company, which it is now. Its like before it was fashionable to have that kind of kit, these guys were out. These guys sent you a kid with a tourniquet in it. Before tournique, tourniquit stuff was all everywhere, right, These guys sent you kids with like eye wash. They have eye washed in it. They have a lot of different bandage is in them. A suture stuff, not like suture with needles, but like suture stuff that you'd actually use. It's a big old kit. It's a big old kit that over the years was well labeled on the inside. Over the years, I've used up things and added things, right, compression bandages I've added. When I had little kids, I bought up the swat tease a prepper camp to make sure I had those. The swat tea a normal tourniquit, the normal Tourniqueit might not work on a little arm or a little leg, but a swat tea is like a big rubber band basically, you know what I mean. It's like a big painful, horrendous rubber band. But what it will do is cut the blood flow off so that your kid doesn't let you know what I mean. But whatever brand, you know what I mean, The brand is kind of irrelevant the contents that you want, the things that you in a kit. This was the one that worked for me way back when I started prepping, and I stuck with them ever since. I don't know, you know this this These are the decisions that you have to make. I can give you a guidance, but you know, at the end of the day, you have to decide. And when you're deciding on a brand, one of the things that you have to decide on is, oh can I afford that? Because when you get into medical equipment, it's outrageous. I'll just tell it like it is. You know it's outrageous, right you look at some of these medical bags. There's seven hundred to one thousand dollars. I don't know about you, but that's one of those things. I don't you know, who's got who can do that? We don't quick everybody. I want to introduce you to something pretty cool. Give me sec Ooh you see down here on the left of me, I wish the podcast on into participating the way Uh, Phoenix says, I keep a bigger size container in my car. Talk about that in a minute. But if you're watching on Rumble, Instagram or X, you'll see that there is a numbered pole. Wow, that poll is really in the way on Instagram is what it is. You'll see that the answers to the to the poll are numbered, right. What will people need most in a collapse? Type one in chat for medical gear, type two in chat for herbal medicine, type three in chap for antibiotics, and four for reference in guidelines. So if you type the number of the corresponding answer into the chat, you'll vote in the poll. Okay, nobody wins anything. It's just fun. It's new, it's fun. I've been playing around with it, having a good time. So Phoenix, I don't know if it works in Instagram or not. Type do me a favor and type of number in just one number in and then hit enter. See if if it works. I think it does work on definitely works on Rumble. I don't know about X. I think five said it doesn't work on Yeah, But anyway, the poll's fun. The poll's a good time. I like it. The other thing that we do is the survival medical cash, Okay, and it's it's not a hidden cash, but I call it a cash because what it is for me is kind of the everything extra everything else bins, right, the backup bins. You still have the medical cabinet, right, the medicine cabinets like we do, like a three tier medicine cabinet in the kitchen, right you it's not enough stuff, right, it's not enough stuff. There's stuff that like when you're a parent, just by all the liquid tileot you know what I mean, all of it, Oh, have it on end, you'll use it, you know what I mean? Or whatever you want to do. Ibuprofen. I don't know everything. Everybody has seventeen opinions on everything. All I can tell you is we did liquid tilant all liquid ibuprofen. None of our kids are autistic. Every boy has ADHD, so I don't give a shit about that. That's just my personal experience, Okay. But beyond the medicine cabinet, beyond the medical you know, beyond the actual first aid kids, we keep a big tupperware bin and a subsequent smaller bin of sort of your backup inventory, you know what I mean. This is where you put your extra bandages, where you put your backup OTC medications, where you're probably gonna store your your prescription antibiotics, like the survival scripts. Right, these things you don't need. You don't need six bottles of ibuprofen in the medicine cabins, dumb, right, But in your backup inventory you can have that extra medic and you should. You can buy like four pack of ibuprofen. And I know super health World. Now nobody takes ibuprofen until everything until you need ivey broten and you take it, right, I keep it on hand for sure, keep it on hand. Anti inflammatory fever reduced er you gid me works like this. We take very little medicine in my house. I mean very little. I can't. I think I took an ivy profe in a few months back for a headache that came on out of nowhere. It was pretty bad and the lasted a couple of days. The kids, we don't take medicine. That very rare. We take any medicine, but we have medicine on hand because when we go, oh god, life is hell. I need medicine. We take medicine, so just you know, to clear that up. So the medical cash is kind of the background for all the stuff that you don't need in your medicine cabinet, and maybe the backups or extras that you normally have in something like an I thing right, spanko bandages, acepandages. Uh. Like I said, the children's allergies, children's medications. We don't use them anymore because the kids are so old now. But it's those things, right, it's the it's you know what we have in there, the finger hots, the fingerspraing ah casts like all that kind of mobility stuff can live in that cash, you know what I mean. I think that's a great thing to do. I'm gonna give you a resource right now, actually great resource that you can use over at pbnfamily dot com. We have a page called build your Medical Cash, all right, and our great sponsor, can I hide this thing for a minut I'm gonna hide this ye okay, Jay for jumping to the rumbles stream. Thank you. I'm gonna hide this thing real quick because I want to show you our website because this this we built out a few years ago. It's important. With the help of doctor William Forby, we built this out. He is the he's a practicing medical doctor and also the man behind the Preppers Medical Handbook, which is the longest sponsor we've ever had. He's our longest term sponsor of all time. Ever grateful for the guy. I think his book is about the best book you can buy, particularly if you start from scratch. But basically what we did is we pulled everything out of his book. So this is his book right here. You see it. Buy it. It's like eighteen nineteen bucks on Amazon something like that. It's the best. It's small, easy to read, easy to diagnose from, easy to trade, has everything in it, even up to antibiotic use and dosage, right which, whether you know it or not. If you're watch me and you're going I like this prefic stuff, eventually you're gonna go crazy enough that you have your own antibiotics. Maybe you'll get them from survivalscripts dot com, but you're gonna get you know, have your own antibiotics, and then you're gonna go, oh, I don't know how to dose these things. How much my kids got an ear infection? He needs antibiotics? What am I gonna how much do I get? Prepace Medical handbook has that cover. Uh, But for what we're talking about, every single item that's in that book is listed here and link here right, and it links right to Amazon. You see, takes you right there. You get it if you need it, right boom. I probably should go through an QA these things. But if the link doesn't work, you can find something similar. Right, So you can go here and you can build out your survival cash. It's not that much. I'd say it's probably about forty to fifty items. And again, you're building your situation. You don't have to put in there everything that I say or the doc says. What he did and what I did is he sent me a list of every item over the counter that's in his book. I put every item that's over the counter in his book on the list. That way, if you have the book and you have the list, you're ninety percent ready, right, you're ninety percent ready to grab the book. Oh my god, something's wrong. Leaf through it. Oh? I need the Uh, I need the Perka Jesus tablets. Well that's a weird one, but I you know what I mean. I need the I need the disposable skin stapler. That's a good one to around. Uh. So those are the things that you can have on it. I do not have a disposable skin stapler. By the way. The Derma quick strips I think might be a better option. But I guess if you needed it, you had to have it. The Derma Quick wasn't working, something was gaping. Might be worth having. I don't know. I've never used one. Again. Get a lot of decisions to make when you're building out your own medical cash medical uh, survival medical cash. But this is just our our little resource to do that. All right. We built this into the website because of our great sponsor, because he did the work of pulling all this stuff out. I said, yeah, you know what, let's let's put that in there. Man, let's see what we can do with that. And it's been a great help to listeners ever since. Okay, so what I want to do now is I want to look at uh whoa good I just disappeared. Oh it's because I took the thing. What I want to do now is I want to take a look at this medical kit. I want to look at the survival scripts kit. But we gotta switch. We gotta switch here. I love the view flip my scream, but I guess I can't do that. So we're gonna take a look here. Let's get done a little bit. Oh yeah, that's pretty good. We're gonna take it. I haven't looked at it. I didn't look at it on purpose. I wanted to make sure that we looked at it together to see what was what. And I'm pretty interested. I mean, I know what's in it, but I don't know what all it looks. I want to be I know the items that are in there, but I'm not one hundred percent sure about how everything looks. Let's start with a small pack, small pocket first, that's empty that I'm sure there's information within, and information that you probably won't want to have. Uh, just have that in that pocket. Also, this could be like your personal information pocket, Like my family has X, Y and Z things right going on and we need X, Y and Z medications. And then let's have a peek that's unveiled. Oh my goodness, look at it looks great, well organized, looks great. I'm not good at all this stuff, so some of it I'm gonna get wrong. I love the clear pocket. The clear pocket, is great. So we got some allergy medicine. That's a good one, UTI test strips, anti diarrheals. Some of this stuff is over the counter stuff that you could buy, but the survival scripts people provided in these larger kits. There are companies that provide just antibiotics in their kids and things like that, and that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But what they do is they do a mix. They do a little bit of a mix. I really like it. I think it's cool. I think it makes a lot of sense as I throw MYCIN tablets full course of antibiotic therapy, right beautiful. I don't know about you, but these things helped me sleep at night. I'm pretty sure this is an interesting one. Man. Don't quote me because it's been a while, but I'm pretty sure my son suffered from some my youngest sorry, I'm trying to do this way. I'm no QVC guy. You suffered from some what's it called exo, and I'm pretty sure this is what we used on that. We used a topical antibiotic that really help him because it got bad and started to get bad like infection. You you you you pre you PIROSI. Why did they do this stuff calcy apply a small amount topically to affected areas three times a day. Why do the pharmaceutical companies create that situation where you know, you know, you can't pronounce ship that they're starting there? Is that on purpose? It's like a secret language. Zipro flax in I drop medicated antibiotic eye drop uh one to two drops in effected eye five times a day. That's pretty sweet. That is pretty good, man. I mean, if you wrap your head around like I don't want to scare you to that, but if you wrap your head around like there's an eye infection in the family and nobody's got antibiotics. So we got iberprofen and we got some tail and all here good. You throw this thing in your vehicle for travel, bug out whatever. This is another thing you could put in a bug out location or alternate location. If you already have bug out antibiotics, right, pretty cool. Then we've got these are the prescription meds, right, So I'm not even gonna try that one. I'm not even gonna try that one. You can figure that one out if you'd like. That is the neutral fu in the math from breastling crystal. We've got Necklausine. We have got the big one, right, the big one. Everybody knows a Marxist selling treats everything. It feels like, no matter what the hell you got going on, doctors like A's gid, you and Marx are selling it. Be good on denstron HCI tiny little tablet, tiny little tablet. Doxy cycling. That's another big one. We see a lot, right, these are prescription medications, you know, that's what we're dealing with. You gotta go. You gotta fill out a uh I think they call it like a finding form U. You basically take do a little online doctor's appointment. It takes no time at all. This kid was two ninety nine and they you know, good luck getting your hands on all that kind of stuff otherwise. Right, that is our sponsor, Survivalscripts dot Com. I would highly recommend you take that into consideration because a kid like this with all that kind of antibiotics stuff. You know, you know who makes our antibiotics, right, you know you know where the antibiotics come from. They come from China and now India. I don't know what if they stop coming from China. Right, That's why we started this years ago. We used to do business with a company called Jase Medical. They're still out there. I don't know what they're up to these days, but they're still out there. I like Survival Scripts. I think Survival Scripts does a better like a better holistic kit, you know what I mean. They do much bigger kits. They do all some stuff. So check them out survivalscripts dot com. See what they have to offer. You could check out their site before we move on out of kits in general to a video. So they got a bunch of collections, right, they got the Preparedness Collection, Travelers Collection, the Essential Collection. Let's take a peek, right, the Disaster Preparedness Kit. This is a monster, this thing back here in the kit, and that kit in the back there, the Disaster Preparedness Kid. Let's set the OTC kit. The OTC Kid's cool. You can buy it without the sort of doctor approval you have to go through for the other one. And like I said, this doesn't cost any money extra to be the doctors. Uh uh, I can't remember what it's called. You just spill out a bunch of questions. What they're doing. They're making sure they don't send you something you're allergic to. And then they get lawsuit march. Let's check out the disaster prepared this kid. This thing looks huge. Yeah, this is a monster. Wow. This is the thirteen kit. Wow differ a MIC and a marxicillin, prednozone, doxycyclics, cipro, flax and a lot of stuff. Man, and it's even got some basic first aid. Pretty cool. So check all their stuff out. Survivalscripts dot com. The kid that I got is actually in the Travelers collection. I'm pretty sure. No, maybe not. It might be in the It might be in the every the Essential collection, don't mind the AI art. That's it, The Essential Kit right there, that's the one we got, the Essential Kit with got your RX and it's got your otcuh. Pretty cool, pretty nice, pretty interesting little kid. So you know, you've got the gamut of a variety of kids that you could store in your house, store in your car. However you want to do it. I highly recommend you spread things out. I think it takes a lot of sense to spread things out. Give me just one second, bring my thing back here? Will put our sponsor und survivalscripts dot com. I don't want to be I don't want to be the whole show. Rather bring our fool background here we go. Oh it was so silly. Uh, Let's talk about reference a little bit, right, Let's talk about reference. All the medical kids in the world, as you know, good, if you don't know what you're doing, right, you have no idea what any of that stuff I just showed you is, or how much you give to somebody. If you don't know how to wrap somebody up so they don't die, how often change the bandages so they don't get it in fay like? Right? You need reference? And hey, dude, look, don't I'm over here thinking you're gonna appee on this log and on all my medic I get a dog over here that's given me that look like he's about the lifted leg. All my kids here. So uh. There are three books that I want to tell you about. You see one already right, that was the Prepper's Medical Handbook. It's a good book. It's it's the best book I think for a one book option really and a new and a new book option because it gives you all the information you need in a smaller book. Because some medical books are absolutely outrageous, and to be honest, they're filled with a bunch of stuff you're likely not to have to deal with, but you may want the reference. I would much prefer to have something like the Doomsday Book of Medicine, which I'd highly recommend. Here's the caveat right, though, I like having a smaller blook, and some big books have lots of extra information. I'd much rather have a big book written by a doctor called the Doomsday Book of Medicine than have a LLLM off grid medical guide, which is likely what people are going to start having and referring to. Okay, like, I really do think I've seen a lot of these. Man, these things are popping up everywhere. I haven't tested one out. I'm trying to get somebody to let me test one. But people are basically taken wiki and other data from across the Internet and creating large language model AI reference tools for preppers that run off brit For some things, this is cool, right, For medical no, no way right. You do not want to get your medical information from a large language model AI that is off grid that is built to you know, sit on a USB sting. You do not want to do that. AI will lie, AI will will misrepresent information. AI will try to craft an answer that you like more importantly than it will try to give you the right answer, and when it comes to you know, Karen, for your loved ones in a medical situation, you can't risk. So in order for me to put in a good word on those kinds of technologies, I gotta see them in action. I gott to verify that the information is right on the money. Because I've read AI generated survival articles, right, I know sort of the weak points and strong points. It's a dangerous game. It's a little bit of a gamble depending on what topic you're talking about, right, So better to have a big reference. The big reference that I always turn to is the Doomsday Book of Medicine by Ralph LaGuardia, The dues Day Book of Medicine. It's a it's a biblical size text. It's huge, and it has a lot of straight up and down medical It has a lot of uh treating with baking soda, treating with se salt, treating with a lot of sort of vinegar, like, a lot of sections on some of the more austere and prepper related medical things. Really great information with pictures on how to treat specific ailments. The one thing that comes to mind with with that book is the eye section, the ice section. It's a really good how to treat moves to the eye, how to bandage, how to protect that kind of stuff. So the Doomsday Book of Medicine number one, that's the big Bible sized book. If you want the best book on the market, it's the Preppers Medical and much all or much easier reference. I had to decide and make a decision on what book would be my herbal medicine guide, right, what book would be or my wild medicine guy, let's go with that, and I went with Bushcraft First Aid for by Dave Cannaber. Bushcraft First Aid, I think that's what. I stacked them all up next to my desk and I left them sorry for those who watch them. Bushcraft First Day by by Dave Canterbury. The back of the book is really all I bought the book for. It's it's good. The front of the book is good, but it's kind of basic in terms of first Day, which is good. That's what you watch. And the front of the book also has sort of his sort of his base level preparedness for the wilderness. Read its ten C's kind of layout that kind of stuff. It's good. It's a great book all in all, great book. But it's got color palettes, color palettes of the wild medicine trees, you know, leaves all the whole none and then right after that it has the follow up on how to make the tinctures, how to make the decoctions, how to make the what's the one with the with the rag and the cold water, all those infusions saves the whole nine yards recipes everything right there right because I'm looking for a quick reference. I got to make a thing. Where to what's the one book I go to to make the thing? I also published a book that I never remember because I don't make any money off of it when it sells. I like made it as a complete project and sold it. I got to do it more justice because it took a lot of work. I think it's called Nature's Natural Medicine by James Walton something like that. I can't remember what it is, but it was a very very intensive freaking research book, great color pictures, and and if you want to go deep into the sort of the herbal medicine thing, it goes plant by plant, which is not my particular favorite way to do business when it comes to urban medicine, right, I don't want a book that tells me plant by plant I want to but then again, you do need that reference. I'm just beyond that when I know kind of like I have my rolodex in here of the plants and the and the barks that I need when somebody needs natural medicine remedy. What I want is the quick reference on how to turn the bark into the medicine. That's the part that I'm not an expert at yet, off the top of my head. So however you want, right, however you it's crazy when you've written so many books that you don't even remember on that's crazy. That's a wild new book coming too, by the beautiful, Beautiful. And then I just got commissioned to write and the the follow up to the Wilderness Survival Toolkit it and it's gonna be the Prepper Survival tool and it's gonna be ten times better. It's gonna be great. So three great references Man the Prepper's Medical Handbook, The Doomsday Book of Survival, and last but not least, Dave Canterbury's Bushcraft Survival Skills Bushcraft First Aid for survival bush one of them. I think it's Bushcraft first day, that's it's then that's a great and if you're a big fan, you can look up James Walton Natural Medicine for survival lists. I don't know exactly what it's called, but it's really good. It's really well though, I gotta buy a cop it's absolutely a sin that I don't have copies, you know what I mean of my own books to show you, but life goes on. Man of the writing of many books, there is no man that's real if you're at all. So what else? What else we're gonna talk about. We're gonna talk about the natural world a little bit before we wrap it up. You're gonna talk about how things like things like this little leaf right here that I just ripped from the ground common plantain can be chewed up, smashed up, minced uf, ground up into a poultice and applied, you know, grind it up with some olive oil, probably be great, and applied to a wound on the arm right under a bandage and will literally help heal your wound, quicker keep it safe from infection. I did not bring this to the party. There's quite a few of them right around my seat right now. There's quite a few of them right around your seat right now, you know what I mean. And I think if you want to get into medicine and an herbal medicine at large and foraging for medicine, like two things, right. We're not going to go on and on about this because it's a whole nother show. Two things though, that will guide you and make you much more successful. The first thing is, uh, commonality, go further commonality, right, understand what's common? Common common Don't go finding raci mushrooms unless they're common in your area, right, don't worry about anything obscure. Start with everything that's right in your front yard. You know what I mean. There's a ton of stuff in your front yard for medicinal purposes. And you know what, probably work in tandem with forging at large. So turn your forging like, oh, I'm gonna go forwarde some dandylion because it's everywhere right into and that's a diuretic, the root of dandelion to be used medicinally. But turn that into forging and medicinal forging it as one. Now you're out killing two birds with one stone. But commonality is the theme. You know. The other thing I would say is, and this will bleed into com monality too, is get by water. You know what I mean, Get by water. If you want to have fun forging, If you wanna have fun forging, wild medicine and learning, you've got to get down by water. It's just And when I say water, I don't mean like go to the lake, go to the big river. Just go to where the water is, the streams, the creeks, everything is there. The best move I ever made was moving near a creek, moving in low on the water table. Well, that's like blasphemy that a lot of preppers because they want to be high, you know what I mean. And maybe in the mountains you have a lot. You got a lot of medicine too. But I'll tell you man, well, to me, one of the biggest things that grows and grows exclusively near running water is uh, hey, what are you doing? My dog standing in the in the fire pit, just eating charcoal that will come back up. But even regret that, you don't want to you don't want to do that too much, But you can use that for medicine as well. Actually, activated charcoals really it's all connecting willow. The willow tree very common. You find it down by creeks and rivers all the time. Super easy to find pain reliever, fever reducer in the bark, white willow, black willow, very distinct leaf, right, common thing, stinging nettle down there, spotted touch me, not a jewel weed down there. I was talking to Jay Bird about this the other day. Right. I don't want to turn this into a list of medicines, because it's it doesn't do a justice. It's too shallow. Suffice it to say, look for commonality, go for easy to find medicines that are wild, that are everywhere, or that are in your area, in particular, easy to find front yard waste areas, the the end of the cold, the sack where all the bushes are. Right, those kinds of medicines you find like golden rods down there a lot of times, mulling down there a lot of times, real common stuff. And the other thing is, you know, find I understand your habitat, but also try to seek out some water, seek out some running water, and you'll be surprised at all the things that pop up around running water. This a lot. Yeah, And then of course you got to have the follow through, like the same follow through that I talk about with forge good to be able to identify willow good, be able to identify wild cherry, which is actually more common than the thing. But scrape some of that inner bark off and just go make just go make a wild cherry tea for cough, maybe even if you don't have cough. One thing I did with the wild cherry bark was I prepared it completely wrong the first time I made it, and it still helped. But then when I went back and saw that the simmer time was different, it was better the second time, you know, and subsequent time. So follow it all the way through, right, Go grab some go grab some plantain from your front yard. You can mince it up, you can chew it up, you can chop it up, whatever you want to do. I'd say put a little good olive oil with it, because that's great for your skin too, And then apply that to a wound you probably have some kind of little cut on. You wrap it up with a band aid or a bandage, and know that you've taken it from start to finish. Now you've done it, gets to move out of the first category. Right here at PBN, we always talk about too many firsts. You don't want to have too many first You don't want to be in a boat where it's your first collapse, the first time you need to use your medical kid, the first time you're doing wild medicine, forging because you ran out of this thing, the first time that you're eating survival food, the first time doing all these things. Because then when something goes wrong, you have no idea what what's what is going wrong is the medicine, this is the food is fun? Right, You don't won't have too many firsts.
