MEDICAL MONDAY: How to Build Your Off Grid Medical Cache w/ IC

You're listening to your pay us back just from PBN Family, a vast array of resources at your fingertips. It's rare that I take a walk through pbnfamily dot com. I should do it more often, the digital walk, and I was confronted by it. There's just so much, you know what I mean. When you spend your time and you have, you know, fourteen other people who spend their time building out content and resources for those who wish to be prepared, man, what inevitably happens is you just have so much that you forget about things. You quite frankly, you forget about things. I was scrolling through through the website pbnfamily dot com. This are members only site, but it's there's some of the hardest hitting free stuff on this site. I mean, really, the Nuclear War Prepared Not Scared book. I talk about it a lot. It's right here as soon as you log in. Looks like a target logo. Not what I want to talk about today. What I really want to focus on is one of the one of the most impressive resources we have, which was actually given to us by a medical doctor and you know as a free resource. Yeah, I don't know, you know, I don't know where you get a service like this. I've never seen a service like this, and it's it's not necessarily a service. And there's still things for you to buy, there's money for you to spend. But I just I hope you feel the gravity of this. So I don't know when I created this page, but it was probably two or three years ago. And the pages build your medical Cash, and you'll see it. It's in the nav bar up there. You got members log in, you got to start your membership. You gotta build your medical cash right and build your medical cash was in it sort of became. It came to be from an email conversation I was having doc Forgi the great sponsor, the longest sponsor here at PBN now. He is our senior sponsor. William W. Four GMD, author of The Preppers Medical Handbook, which is one of the most affordable and incredible preps you can have period. The Preppers Medical Handbook is you gotta have it, but and this page links to it. There's a picture of the cover. There's a picture of the cover on the show art as well. But what's most incredible about this man is that he, you know, after we'd done business for a few years. He sends me a list of every over the counter item in his books, So every over the counter item that is recommended to be used and instructed how to be used in the Preppers Medical Handbook. He sends me a list and he says, I, you know, I checked all of these in Amazon. They're all for sale on Amazon, every one of these things. So now what we have at pbnfamily dot Com is this crazy resource where you can go buy the book, and then you can buy everything in the book, and then you have fundamentally built out your medical cash. You've built your own medical kit, and you've done it under the guidance of William W. Fourgy, MD, the man behind the Preppers Medical Handbook. You know, first aid kits are still weird. You know what I mean? First aid kits are still weird. I never bought a first aid kit from Doctor Bones in their SAMI, so I've never seen what they have, though I've heard great things. The one hundred dollars or used to be one hundred dollars Survival first Aid Kit is the best product that I've ever purchased. But to have instruction and the list of items and to make it yourself. I just think it's really awesome, you know, And there are some things in here that you'll never find in a first aid kit. You'll never find Lana Caine in a first aid kit. Let's see if it's still available. Oh, the Lana Caine link does not work. I had a feeling, so we'll have to replace that link. But most of these links they still work. The monol mold, these things you'll never you need to be a doctor. So they got this awesome high qualit hand pump antiseptic you know, for washing hands and tools and that kind of stuff. Spanco bandage. These are things that you can find in other first say kits, but Spanco bandage, gauze, quick clot cover let, waterproof tape, sam splints, a variety of elastic bandages, triple antibiotic ointments, optimolic drops, op con. I've never even heard of these. I don't have these. I need these. Oh, eye allergy relief. How about that bush and LOWM allergy relief. Yeah, I could definitely use some of those antihistamine eye drop you know. I Care is in the Prepper's Medical Handbook and done really well. It's a scary sort of situation. We got sutures, though in there where's another, oh, three milli liters syringes. This is one of those things like you're never gonna get syringes in almost any regular run of the mill. And of course you gotta know what you're doing with syringes. And it is a weird that you can buy some Amazon. But it's just one of those things, you know. Scalpel skin stapler, potable aqua, mylar blanket, trying the stery strips, petroleum jelly chest seals, Tegaderm waterproof breathable dressings. This one I don't know, and I don't own. Bicy Cotal tablets, bicy Cotal tablets, Jerry Care, generic dolcal acts. Oh okay, well you know what that is. So the things that show up in this book. In other words, you've got an issue in your family, you reach for the Prepper's Medical Handbook because whatever the hospitals are packed like they were in COVID, or you're in a situation where you can't get to whatever the situation is, right, you reach for the Prepper's Medical Handbook. You know that the medical cash that you've built contains everything in the book that's over the counter now you can get the things that are not over the counter too. Now you just have to go to a place like the wellness company Jace Medical, and you can get those those antibiotics in medicines as well. You know, first aid stuff. It's one of those things like I don't know, Hey, what's up, Nub, Lucky garden Girl live in chat? What you guys like, what do you guys call on for your first aid kits? Do you guys do like run of the bill Walmart purchase first aid kits? Do you have a brand of first aid kit that you really like? Let me know in chat, because the first aid thing with preparedness is always interesting to me. You know, it's for for the longest time, guys. For like probably first five years of my prepping in general, I was just stacking those hard plastic first aid kits because I didn't know what I was doing, you know what I mean, I had no idea what was doing that. Nub says, his first aid kit is Scotch. Is that what piecemeal? Put it together? Myself? Says garden Girl. Oh well this is yeah, this is the resource for you then, but you've probably already used it, knowing you garden girl. So yeah, the like I said, the approach. Uh so that nub it looks like that NUB prescribes exclusively to American made medical gear, particularly those those liquid medicines made by Johnny Walker in particular. I mean, I think that could serve you to some degree that now, but you may want to go a little further. So I wanted to touch base with you guys on this. This is a big deal. You know. It's one of the things that I had to learn, and I had to learn both of these things simultaneously. Was there's a right tool for the job. You know, I mean, what's up, mad dog, There's a right tool for the job, and when you have that tool, the job's way easier. Like that lesson I had to learn, I can remember, well, here's a great example. Okay, and this is a humbling situation. I don't know that I should have saved this for the preppers laughs, show that we did not long ago about the fails. But when it comes to having the right tool for the job. Every Christmas we cut down a Christmas tree. It's what we do, one of my favorite things. And when we first started doing this, if you guys think I'm making it up when I tell you that when I bought my first home, my father in law gave me my first hammer. If you think I'm making that up, here's another story to kind of back that up. I was who I was compared to who I am now, Who I was at like nineteen twenty compared to who I am now is I mean, it's it's mind bending. It's mind bending the change. You guys are used to hearing from this guy every day, and you probably some of you who don't know my backstory are probably like, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's always had this act together with this prepping stuff. I'm not like that. No, man, I didn't not only have my act together with prepping stuff. I didn't have my act together with physical fitness stuff. I didn't have my act together with a lot of stuff. It takes time, you know, and it takes effort. But anyway, I have this cleaver, and I love this clever. I'll never get rid of it. I may like be dazzle it somehow and turn it into a Christmas decoration, and it's a clever. I bought in Philly next to one of my favorite faux joints in off Washington Boulevard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Right, But why this cleaver is special is because we cut down our tree with those you know, they give you those beautiful saws when you go down to cut a tree and they work really great, and you cut the tree down and like unbelievably quick. It's just a fresh blade and a good, good handsaw. I get the tree home, we put it in and we realized like oh, because me and my wife were, uh, what are we We're fanatical, you know what I mean. We're absolutely fanatical about the tree. We've had trees like Christmas vacation, you know what I mean. We don't have a big house at all. We're a very small house and we're fanatical with our trees. So I get this thing home and I realized I don't have a saw the trees to the the I cut the tree so that the stump was too long, and the trees like bent into the roof, and I'm like, oh, I gotta cut the I gotta cut it. It's too tall, baby, I'll take it out back. And I take it out back. I had a saw, right, and the saw was so bad, I mean it was it was dead. It was like a rusted old saw was dead. So I'm sawing and it I'm like, this isn't working. And I had to take off very you know what I mean. I didn't have to take off a lot. It wasn't a big deal. Long story short. I'm out there with a cleaver because I was a chef. These are the tools that I understood. I'm out there with a cleaver and a hammer, my hammer, and I'm hitting the clever with the hammer to cut off the last bit of this tree to get it into the tree stand. This is no lie. And I still have the clever, and I look at it and I go, it is like the penultimate relic of you need the right tool for the right job. And as I got older, I started accumulating those tools, and jobs just become easy. You know. Like I used to look at metal and be like, oh, how do I like like not even heating and bending metal, but like cutting metal and that kind of stuff. I used to look at it and be like, Wow, I can't do that. That's like out of my wheelhouse. And then I remember I was making knives. I made a knife for Dave Jones. I put well, I put scales on a knife, and I remember getting a just a metal saw blade for like a uh what do they call the hacksaw, And I remember cutting through the metal of the like the brass colored studs that were gonna go through the knife handle, you know, to attach it. And I remember sawing through the metal and just being like, it's what amazing, amazing to me what the right tool can do for the job. Moral of the story, PBN family medical is exactly the same. And you've probably been in this position with yourself or with your kid. You know, like if you've ever been in that situation where they got like a scrap, a big scrape on the shoulder or the elbow or the knee or something like that, and you're in a place and all they got is like cloth or elastic bandages or something like that, you know, just the one inch and you're putting like seven elastic bandages over this giant scrape, trying to figure that situation out. And then you get home and you get into your medical status and you take the big fat daddy felt fabric bandage, clean the wound, put that over the scrape. It disappears completely the fabric like those high quality freaking band aids. I just you don't understand how much I love them. They they'll never come off if you don't want them to, you know what I mean. They're so good, They're so good, like your skin will grow over them if you're not careful, especially if a little kid. But you still got that band aid on, Take that thing off, dude. The right tool for the job, you know, and when you have the opportunity for a doctor to pick out the right tools for the job, which is what this list is at pbnfamily dot com, take advantage of it. Okay, Like if I don't know where everybody's head is in chat that nub said National Preparedness Month, you know is days away. Really it's like a week away. First daid in medical Kit's a good topic, a good thing to talk about. It's a good thing to do. And then the thing about a medical kid, particularly this one and this cash the majority of the stuff in here, like it don't have to be doomsday for you to need a spanco bandage, you know. It don't have to be doomsday for you to need nitral gloves. It foresips, Well, I use forceips when I go fishing, so maybe maybe forceips wouldn't be as common for you. It's a good fishing hack though. A good pair of locking forcips is phenomenal for taking hooks out of fishing's mouth. But yeah, you know, all kinds of stuff on here you could wind up using, just with life, with the things that happen in life, a high quality first aid kit, even just high quality band aids, you know, and the things you need to clean and treat those wounds that happen in life. You know, I got like absolutely viciously sharp knives, you know what I mean. I still cut myself every so often, and you know, just got to have a solution for that. That's all.

One series is Bushcraft for Preppers and it's just what it sounds like, bushcraft skills and concepts that work for preppers. And the last one I did July eighth was where to Play? And that's super important, man, It is super important for you to know where to go to practice bushcraft, particularly if you're not a guy who lives, you know, like on a bunch of acreage, because you can get to the point where you're like, there's only so much I could do in my backyard. Dude, what's the deal? You know our latest series family gear. I broke out the old survival bivy. I somehow broke out the survival bivy and and and got it back into its into its ripcord bag, which is a feed onto itself, but just one of those amazing pieces of gear that I think is so important. So yeah, I mean, it's We've done a lot over the years, folks. You know, this has been our commitment. This has been our commitment to the craft of prepping. You know, what can we do, what can we build, what can we write, what can we put out into the world to help people get more prepared? And we knew it was going to be looked like this ten years ago. We knew it was gonna like this. Five years ago, we knew essentially what was going to happen with COVID from a governance standpoint. Before that happened, we just it's not me that you have to understand. I don't know. Shit. The only thing I'm good at, like I said yesterday, is connecting the dots. But I get all my dots from my hosts primarily, and some other resources, you know, like the whole of COVID. The whole of COVID, and our response was really fundamentally built by like Dave Jones's background, Jay Fergie's background, a little bit of a little bit from Stephen Menking as well, and you know, we sort of mixed all that stuff up together and fell deep into it and started to develop our plan, which became your plan to survive it. I mean, that's what the COVID cast was. The COVID cast was real time emergency operations center on a weekly basis, touch base, see what's up, how many cases, what's going on, how the laws are changing, how what we are doing. It was a magic time. And I'll probably die being proud of those COVID casts and the information that we put out. I don't know, man, you know, just is what it is. It's a very rewarding effort to be the intrepid commander here at PBN. I should have used my trepid commander button, all right, guys, Look visitpbnfamily dot com.
