Hello, everybody. This is Spice.

spk_0:   0:01
Good afternoon, everybody. It's afternoon here, right now. You know what time it is with your listeners, but here it's afternoon. This is salty as usual. We are on the road. We're headed north, Found at the moment in the beautiful state of Missouri somewhere in mid Missouri. Not too far from the home of the Mizzou Tigers at the moment. But we're not going to stay there for very long because we got it. We got to go north, head towards home, so welcome to the show. We're gonna just do something a little odd today. We're going to just open up one of our bags that we carry with us all the time. You might call it a get home bag. This is It's not really Get home back. This is spices. Is that what she carries in her car? We're driving along and she's just gonna start opening it up and tell you what we got in it Just for fun.

spk_1:   0:50
Before I even open it to grab it, I had to move aside. The other thing that I usually keep in my car that I tossed in this one when we took off. Today, it's a battery charger and jump starter, and it's got court. Yeah,

spk_0:   1:09
real good ones,

spk_1:   1:11
So you charge it up from your carport charger. One life is good and it's charged up, and if you need a jump start, you could just touch it to your battery and jump Start yourself. Or you can use it to plug in attachments so you can club car phones and things like that urn, car phone, cell phones and things like that from it. That goes with me in my car all the time, and I've got a little every three months or whatever, the manual says. I've got a reminder on my calendar to make sure the thing is fully charged up.

spk_0:   1:45
Let's see one state research free. Well, we got one of the really good units for each of our vehicles, so that if we should ever have to jump ourselves, we can. We also we admit it. We're Triple A fans we used to play. We buy their premium service. So though tow us home as long as we're in 200 miles or less.

spk_1:   2:06
If you listen to much of our podcast, you may notice we travel some

spk_0:   2:09
way. Travel a lot. This is part of part of our gig. We have a gig that's part of our gig. So So, just out of my bag, she's just going to describe what

spk_1:   2:21
metal water bottle with a nice screw on lid. So when I filter water, I have somewhere to put it

spk_0:   2:26
that that's actually attached to the outside. Do you have anything in your side? Yours?

spk_1:   2:30
There's nothing inside mine.

spk_0:   2:32
Okay, Mine. I I use a slightly smaller bag mine. I keep my Sawyer water filter in it, and I used the Sawyer one with the collapsible plastic bag so that you could use the collapsible plastic bag to dip water out of a creek or whatever. Also, it's the one that screws onto a standard pop bottle lid, so use a standard pop bottle. It's very small, so I That's the one I prefer. Okay, opening side pocket.

spk_1:   3:02
I think this side pocket is thief. Frequently used medical side pocket. Yes, it ISS.

spk_0:   3:07
She's got it also got on the top. She's got a little metal carabiner clip, which

spk_1:   3:11
that attach is the water bottle, too, but I could use it for something else. if I needed to.

spk_0:   3:15
So what is it? You're frequently used? Medical bag.

spk_1:   3:19
Here. I have a few doses of all the most commonly used of our drugs. I've got some golden allergy medication. I've got some Benadryl which doubles as a sleep aid, or you can use it for an anti histamine. Very very. He's having allergic attacks.

spk_0:   3:41
Very, very good drug tohave there because and he has two means are important

spk_1:   3:47
what people have. Allergic attacks, reactions, bee stings, things like that. It could be very useful. It's not as useful as an inhaler of somebody's having a nasty reaction like that. But it's a heck of a lot better than nothing. And in fact, I have grab some from this little container, too. Help out some companions on a day last summer.

spk_0:   4:09
You know another thing to keep in mind on them on like inhalers that used to be legal little private teen miss things that used to be inhaling the emergency inhalers, which were the effort. Epinephrine gives that big shock to your lungs and open up your lungs, for those are not legal to sell over the counter anymore. I don't really know why, but they're not. So we don't carry one of those. And, of course, obviously, we don't carry any of the steroid ago Stop because there's a real prescription. And neither one of us has asthma.

spk_1:   4:42
And frankly, if you got one of the old epinephrine inhalers, toss it. Epinephrine is not a drug that ages. Well,

spk_0:   4:48
you know where you know we we loved, have loved to have unhappy pin. Not that we need it personally, but, you know, if somebody really needs an epi pen, they need And that Ben again, it's prescription.

spk_1:   5:02
Fortunately, they usually know they need it and have one on him,

spk_0:   5:05
so but I'd like to have one prophylactically so we don't have toe. You know, if you need when you need one,

spk_1:   5:11
have one prophylactically, not use it just bad. Yeah, in the interests of saving space. What I do with these drugs is I've got a whole bunch of tiny little Ziploc bags, and on the outside of each little Ziploc bag, I took a, uh, water resistant marker. Put the name of the drug. I put the dose of each size of a pill. I put what it's four. In many cases. If It's not something everybody would know, like aspirin. And I put how many you're supposed to take for how many hours dozing information.

spk_0:   5:48
Okay, when you see this, you're going to see a picture on the three b white website. But I will take a picture of this. This that PR we'd picture for this post. So yeah. What else you got in there?

spk_1:   6:04
Pills to make your bowels move pills to make your bowels not move.

spk_0:   6:08
Diarrhea pills are important.

spk_1:   6:11
Yeah, when you get water borne diseases like cholera, for example, and many kinds of flu. And even the Noro virus is commonly called the cruise ship viruses,

spk_0:   6:25
which are not flu,

spk_1:   6:26
which are not actually flew. Um, the thing that kills with those is dehydration and loss of salts in the ejecta. Let's put it that way. And this Looper meid does a great job of reducing that problem. So we always make sure we carry that. That is for traveler's diarrhea. Basically

spk_0:   6:49
get to Christmas trip.

spk_1:   6:53
Yeah. Nobody needs to hear about the Christmas tree

spk_0:   6:55
Christmas. We'll just

spk_1:   6:56
take no violence on vacation. Okay,

spk_0:   6:59
Christmas trip. You're traveling across a barren landscape with absolutely nowhere open to stop and you have norovirus.

spk_1:   7:09
It's not good.

spk_0:   7:10
Don't do this at home, kids. Or don't do this on the road. But

spk_1:   7:14
when you do do it, you are very glad that you had a few doses of, like, Loper meid on hand. There was no place to stop and buy things.

spk_0:   7:24
It's still miserable.

spk_1:   7:26
Yeah, but, you know, it was work. We didn't die. Melatonin. Sleep aid.

spk_0:   7:33
Sleep, eh? Yeah, really good. Natural. Sleeping. We got some other stuff in here. We have a couple of prescription drugs,

spk_1:   7:43
but I am going to tell you I put three days worth of each one that we need in these little bags. And about twice a year, I pulled these guys out while they're still good and having having expired, and I put them into the usual rotation and replace him with fresh wounds.

spk_0:   8:01
Okay. One thing to keep in mind If you have any gel caps, you can keep those in there in the winter. They must come out in the summer because they will melt in your car and make a bloody mess out of your I think I saw some Joe caps in there.

spk_1:   8:15
Yeah, you did. And It's the only way that particular drug comes. Well, so they get this particular one gets melty but not unworkable. E So So I kept it in there.

spk_0:   8:24
Okay, well, was like, if you have some things, are just like, Oh, I like you grow fins that are in the gel caps that air liquid inside the joke because they work really fast, like a headache. Er, er bruise or something like that. That's really bothering me or her. The knees. Usually it's the knees of one of us. Um, we can get the pain really quick, but they don't travel well, what you got in there?

spk_1:   8:56
Since one of us knows more about drugs than the other one of us, the drugs air also labeled with Thea the common use name of um, I tend to use the usual drug names and salty tends to look at me like what packs that one. So I put the common names like this one says back spasms. He may not know that offhand.

spk_0:   9:20
It's funny. I get back to buy those two or three times a year. Just Bob. They incapacitate me. They're just kind of out of the blue. So I carry pills, but I don't actually use the pills. Hardly ever. I just just what? I need the money of them. So we

spk_1:   9:34
got some suit. A fed

spk_0:   9:35
That's good.

spk_1:   9:36
Allergy meds. A few little, uh, insect sting relief patches. I

spk_0:   9:44
don't really remember what's in those. It's like alcohol or something, not alcohol.

spk_1:   9:51
I don't recall what's in these particular ones, either. I know it's alcohol based. I think they have something else. Like a month. All of them. It's not much a little thing of antibiotic cream. A little thing of burn cream with aloe Vera.

spk_0:   10:04
Now we're big believers in warm water and soap, as opposed to just using antibiotic cream. Water and soap is the best thing you can do. We don't carry those little stupid anybody band aids, because why bother?

spk_1:   10:21
Yeah, you don't ever really need those. You might put them on at some places, but there not a need in anybody's life. So we don't bother. We do have some, a little bit of aspirin, a little bit of antacid.

spk_0:   10:36
These aren't necessarily just for us to we have These were the drug suppliers for our friends, but we keep it completely over the counter and completely legal. Yeah, because we don't We don't mess with the man we

spk_1:   10:50
get laughed at for being so well prepared and Oh, yeah, she'll have some. Well, she will have someone. You're not sad either. I've got some of the oxy Matassa lean nasal spray because,

spk_0:   11:02
yeah, we clocked out. You need it? Yeah.

spk_1:   11:09
Got the little small bottles of the things we use more of. I got hydrocortisone cream.

spk_0:   11:17
Oh, yeah, Definitely keeping

spk_1:   11:19
various ratchet rashes, itches, bites. Irritation

spk_0:   11:24
was your description of nature the bugs the public has come? We got some sanitary type wipes to keep using clean, which used for all kinds of different, um, things. Um, let's surprise me. You have some of those in there nighttime cold and flu.

spk_1:   11:43
Yeah, because it's a got acetaminophen, and it's got a cough suppressant and histamine in it, so it's a multi use thing. I got a few doses of that in here, and, uh, nonsteroidal anti inflammatories particular one I usually carry is I usually have some acetaminophen and some ibuprofen.

spk_0:   12:03
There's a hard and fast, as you can probably hear the roar of the background. So that's the drugs

spk_1:   12:10
That's the frequently used drugs, not the Oh, my golly, Somebody's bleeding all over the place pocket,

spk_0:   12:17
you might say. Well, you need this for in a in a get home, Bagger, this is This is a Hey, I'm stuck here for three days without being at home. I got it. The car broke down when I'm gonna be stuck in a hotel for three days. Bag. You know, that's more what it is.

spk_1:   12:36
It's not Not all about in the world.

spk_0:   12:39
Know it. Religious.

spk_1:   12:40
He's come in many senses. One

spk_0:   12:41
of the problems I've seen with a lot of people's three day bags and get home bags and all this stuff it's all about Well, how could you make fire? How can you do? Yeah, but, man, I have mosquito bite. Could put something on it, you know? Really, It's like a It's like a giant purse. Okay, what else you got? Tha

spk_1:   13:00
side pocket is my stuff. I use a lot little beauty packages of toilet paper and paper. Emery Toilet paper in hand. Wipes rush. A queen, um, bandanna. Because there are so many uses for a clean bandanna.

spk_0:   13:20
Mike checker is falling now. Nope. You're good.

spk_1:   13:24
You're good. Ah, small packet of Kleenex

spk_0:   13:28
is that Go through somebody's purse. Except it's not really a purse. Little knife, cheap knife. Cheap knives are good people. People are always going on about their knives. You know, I've got this $500 survival might. Well, that that is not That's a $2 night from Wally World.

spk_1:   13:44
But by golly, I got those suckers stashed everywhere.

spk_0:   13:46
That's right. She got, like, 100 of those things. Yeah, but they don't hold on edge there. Cried. They're just not very good, But

spk_1:   13:55
don't feel bad when I have to pry paint. Lived with one.

spk_0:   13:57
Exactly. And? And if I need a good knife, I'll have a good night for something other than that. No, we're divers, right? We've got these little steak knives that have been cut off. It'll ginsu steak knives. Everybody else is carrying his big Bowie knives like they're gonna kill kill The giant came shark. You know, we got these little bitty steak, and I've stuck all over us because we don't

spk_1:   14:21
need to cut fishing line and straps.

spk_0:   14:23
And if you're really needed that cut something in me, you're in a cave and you're using it and you drop it. It goes down to the bottom of the cave and follows under the thing you're not gonna use, like, Okay, I got those five for a dollar a yard sale. I'm not going to go under this rock and spent half an hour of this cave dive looking for that dumb night, which is

spk_1:   14:43
good because that half an hour can kill you. If you're not careful,

spk_0:   14:46
it's gone. Let it go. I got another cutting tools. So we have the same philosophy only of these cheap knives.

spk_1:   14:54
Small packet of alcohol based hand sanitizer,

spk_0:   14:56
which is better than nothing, gang. It's not the best. It's not like washing your hands with better Nothing a

spk_1:   15:02
little so packets that you get from the hotel. And I've got a little Ziploc bags so I can use my soap packet and actually still have my soap and not make a big, nasty mess out of it. I can put it my little Ziploc bag actually have used that one before, And then a small multi tool,

spk_0:   15:22
which is a much better quality than the Leatherman. So much better quality than me.

spk_1:   15:27
Yeah, because a cheap, multi tool is really not very useful because every single thing on it tries to break the first time. You try and use it. Cheap knives usually get some use out of them, and then they're dull and not good anymore. Cheap multi tools. Just you thought you had a small screwdriver, but no, you had a broken thing.

spk_0:   15:48
Okay, so she's opening it

spk_1:   15:49
out. We opened the big er. Big part. Doesn't get opened a whole lot because that there were starting to talk more actual emergency

spk_0:   15:58
emergency. First thing I see when she opens it is a big old pile of hair record.

spk_1:   16:05
Yep. Bunch bear record. Said

spk_0:   16:07
radios, parent, or you don't need to go to Paris.

spk_1:   16:09
All the useful pair record. And then I've got one of those Sawyer filters,

spk_0:   16:13
complete with the bet the less clothes water cleaner,

spk_1:   16:18
cleaner, duct tape. Because when do you not need? Okay, I've opened this several times. Get duct tape,

spk_0:   16:26
duct tape. And

spk_1:   16:28
here's my dental floss. Because you would be amazed if you've never had to use one of these bags. How many things you could use? Dental floss for great strength. Tough, good string. I've got some of snow boots that are. I bought him cheap. First time I tried to use him, the lace attachments started to fall off. So those things with dental floss have been working good for five years now. Dental floss.

spk_0:   16:56
Really, really good. Tough threat.

spk_1:   16:58
And I used this regularly when I'm out of place for dental hygiene. So

spk_0:   17:07
now it doesn't really matter what flavor you choose of dental floss if you're going to use it as string. Just letting you know the mentor, the cinnamon don't neither matters for strength purposes. Okay, three

spk_1:   17:20
days survival food packed. 2400 calories of little bar stuff. That

spk_0:   17:25
was for the S O s. If he really desperate. Do you have in there? Camilla's okay? Yeah. It's Wells for state back. We're going to start doing reviews of those survival foods. People always. You know what I'm talking of? The Coast Guard. Survival food, things, the training for however many calories. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Bars. People always do those reviews wrong. They do them wrong. You're not eating them for taste. You don't care what they taste like. You're eating them for their nutritional value in every single review I've ever seen is all about How do they taste

spk_1:   18:05
when I do this, I'm going to do it by eating these for a day while working out of place.

spk_0:   18:12
I've done that. I mean, I have eaten nothing but one of those things for an entire day to see if it worked and it did. It wasn't a pleasant today, but I did do it.

spk_1:   18:24
I'm a chow hound. So

spk_0:   18:25
there's some of these parts I'm not gonna we're gonna go back into do do some serious reviewing on these. There's some of these bars that I just don't think are appropriate for people to use his emergency ration because of the nutritional value of has nothing to do with the with the taste at all effect, they're the best tasting of. But as far as the nutritional value, they're just cookies. And you know you don't need cookies for survival. You do need cookies, but not as your main

spk_1:   18:58
chocolate. You may need him for survival, but, you know Oh, I'm sorry. That's my bias. Tiny little flashlight. I got it. And I never even took the little battery protector off, so I expected to actually work. It's not the only flashlight I have on my person most of the time, but it's a flashlight. I've got a five hour energy. What? Oh, last year.

spk_0:   19:26
It's time to replace that.

spk_1:   19:27
Yeah, it's time to replace it, but it's not horribly out. I don't use those normally so that

spk_0:   19:33
I occasionally we use one for driving if I got, If it's late and I gotta drive and I got to get us home, I don't mind being awake a couple extra hours. Well, not dying is good.

spk_1:   19:45
Here's my fire starter pack.

spk_0:   19:47
Look at that fire starter.

spk_1:   19:49
Yeah, I got a little pill bottle that is stuffed with the cotton that has been mushed together with gasoline because it's great. Tender

spk_0:   19:58
Veselin is one of the best things you can store for survival. Bassett leads. Had so many uses, you can use it for so many things. It's a great way to start a fire

spk_1:   20:08
and better. Chief, I've got a couple. Little took somebody's advice on how to make fire starters, and I got little sections of straw fires, and I stuffed him with this vast Selene soaked cotton. And then I heat sealed them on both ends so they're completely waterproof now and they work really well. But they're a pain in the tail, and I find that most of the time I'd rather just have a pill bottle with stuff in it. So after that experiment, I didn't make any more, But I had these made, so I put him in here.

spk_0:   20:39
They do work, but they're kind of a pain.

spk_1:   20:41
They're also in a Ziploc bag because I've got my matches here which say they're waterproof matches. And what we all know that means is they can resist some water for a little while and probably still light. But in my past experience with waterproof matches, it doesn't mean soaked.

spk_0:   20:59
And, of course, she has the most important fire starting

spk_1:   21:03
over lover, the Bic lighter, the big because it is so darn reliable and so darn easy to use. I'm not gonna put in Flint and tinder and steel and my museum and stuff like that because it's hard to use. And frankly, I'm not a great fire starter.

spk_0:   21:19
This is a three day ish type back. Not I'm going to be surviving in the wilderness for the next 10 years back.

spk_1:   21:27
Yeah, sure. My Bic lighter could fail. But then I've got some waterproof matches. So there we are.

spk_0:   21:32
And the big lighter. We don't use the cheapies. We use the actual big brand. We could maybe work a little better get water.

spk_1:   21:40
I've got water, water, water, water

spk_0:   21:41
She had these little package is also you.

spk_1:   21:43
Mayday! Emergency drinking water. Can I five yourself, right?

spk_0:   21:47
I don't know if you can hear it. You actually drank one of those? No. We have to open with ease up sometime.

spk_1:   21:55
We'll open them all up sometime in the next four years because I stuck him in here last year. I got a five year shelf life. They probably really have a 20 year shelf life. Okay. And, uh, for the last of my emergency food, I have a fudge brownie from and Emery because my loving husband knows I am a chocolate hound and my life is better if I have chocolate when I want chocolate. So he's stuck in emergency chocolate in here for me

spk_0:   22:23
and do last forever. Okay,

spk_1:   22:27
Now we get to serious medical land and my medical kits a little bit different than the medical kit. You often by because they're heavy on little envelopes full of cute see little drugs like the insect sting stuff and little bitty band aids. And I'm like, Well, if it's an emergency, I'll just say, Oh, it itches. I'll put hydrocortisone auditor nothing. But I want something that's going to stop bleeding if I'm bleeding. So okay, here, I've got some quick clot. Advanced clotting, sponge,

spk_0:   23:02
quick lots, one of the best. I mean, I amaze me. People will put together a medical kit and not have any quick, quick clot in it, and they won't have any Israeli bandages in it. They won't have any of these other advanced blood stopping devices in them.

spk_1:   23:16
Yeah. Now, this is I've also got some of the bandaging stuff is in a separate little bag in the car, so it's not all right here. I put together a fairly serious bleeding kit because I work with power tools by myself out in the middle of nowhere. And I thought it would be cool if something bad happened. If I could stop myself from bleeding to death. Yeah, because mine is beef

spk_0:   23:39
hospitalised 25 to 30 miles away, and that if it's an ambulance call, you know the ambulance is 25 miles the other direction. So you're talking about quite a long amount of time. You're gonna bleed out if you're really bleeding, so you gotta be able to stop the bleeding if you're out of place or anywhere.

spk_1:   24:06
Two different kinds of tape, cloth tape and, uh, water resistant bandage state some latex gloves. So if the person who's leading is not me, I don't catch whatever they've got selection of band aids because this isn't all about major emergencies. And besides the band AIDS, I have also got some butterfly closure strips for if you got something that probably needs stitches, but you'd rather have a professional put in the stitches than sit there and try and do it yourself, because that's just not any fun at all. You can use Thea Emergency butterfly closures, too. Keep it from gaping and bleeding all over the place until you have a chance to get somebody who can sew it shut for you. So I got some of those guys in here. Here is my bandaging supplies. I've got some big absorbent dressings. I've got some sponging material of various sizes. I've got some gauze Rollerball gauze that I can wrap around the wound.

spk_0:   25:15
All of this is inside a plastic bag inside that plastic bag. All of these are inside sterile bag.

spk_1:   25:21
Yeah, they're all individually sterile in they're all in a Ziploc so they don't run around all over the place on me. And then I've got some how to cleanse the wound before you put anything on it. So I've got some Ben's Al Cockney, um, chloride wound wipes and a bunch of Q tips and some big old tongue depressors that you can use as splints for fingers and things. And I got something else in this bag. What's that other thing I don't recognize? Oh, that's yeah, that's Ah, some wounds. Swabs that have antiseptic already applied to him. It's, um, alcohol prep. Good stuff, right? Cleansing stuff. Yeah, small package of Q tips because Q tips air nice for wound cleaning. And they're nice for I cleaning chemical cold packed kind of squeeze, and it's good for a while. So

spk_0:   26:18
20 minutes,

spk_1:   26:19
if you have a swell of something that's swelling up nasty, you can get the ice on it fast. I got a three hand warmers because I used this package in the winter, and one of the bad things about winter is, of course, you're trying to dig your car out of the snow or whatever. Frostbite could be a problem or frozen toes could be a problem. So I've got a total of six hander, hand or toe warmers in there. Got a rain poncho? That's my Israeli bandage.

spk_0:   26:53
Those Israeli bandage is of the greatest things ever from bleeding

spk_1:   26:56
clean washcloth, because when when you're do you have a wound to your ever said, you have a clean washcloth? And then here's my water purification deal

spk_0:   27:08
way. Talk about that in one of our previous podcasts. That was the actual fee that does the purification and the other one's more for neutralizing. That neutralizes the U. S.

spk_1:   27:23
02 little bottles. And together you can purify one heck of a lot of water and then make it not taste too disgusting so he can actually drink it. They were cheap, and I replace him about once a year because I don't like the idea of their shelf life being forever long.

spk_0:   27:41
Yeah, but they're dirt cheap. Really?

spk_1:   27:42
Yeah, they really are. And then we get to my actual tools. And I took the stupid, cheap little tools that came with the first aid kit, and I think I actually threw them away. Because if you want tools, you want tools that actually work. So what I've got here fingernail clippers Because seriously, lots of times you really wanna have fingernail clippers

spk_0:   28:06
and they're useful for so many things. Yeah, that was wire strippers. You countless things you can use Fingernail clippers were

spk_1:   28:14
tiny, curved scissors.

spk_0:   28:16
Good quality curved scissors junk.

spk_1:   28:19
You use them thio Soochow ring in small places. You can use them if you need Thio Cut up eyes for research. Not that that often comes up in an emergency situation. But you can. Okay, You

spk_0:   28:35
gotta stop and tell a story. Here I come home. All right, I come home. It's been a hard day of work. I'm tired. I want a nice cold vibe Ation from my refrigerator. I go to my refrigerator, I open up my refrigerator and they're staring at me. Is a court jar full of I

spk_1:   29:12
I have been defamed. Ladies and gentlemen, it was covered. It had a cover on it. Intentionally. Well, I mean, yeah, but I was like, What's this? So he lifted the cover, looked at it and him eyes. I'm like, ah, catalyzed

spk_0:   29:33
catalyzed the other word people eyes. This is for back way back in the day when she was doing research on cataracts.

spk_1:   29:41
Well, yeah, on catalyze. Yeah, I was I was doing ah, research on the lens of the eye.

spk_0:   29:49
So anyway, so it was like, Wow. So actually, there was a local, a local butcher who Well, I believe he's passed now, but he used to collect up to catalyze for the research department at a research institution because, I mean, they were doing the following anyway. And

spk_1:   30:11
otherwise they were just trash. And he was volunteering his his part for medical science by saying

spk_0:   30:17
so after that, she was very careful toward me when we had good. It was right on the way home. So she

spk_1:   30:25
had picked up on the way home, and

spk_0:   30:26
it would

spk_1:   30:27
take him to work in the morning.

spk_0:   30:28
Yeah, but after that was disgusting. Experiment our experience. She tended to warn me when I would probably not want to dig around too much in the refrigerator.

spk_1:   30:40
The next time he saw something that said, Don't look on the cover. He didn't?

spk_0:   30:45
No, and I don't know. I have no idea whatever else has been in my refrigerator, but I'm happy to say that refrigerator is no more and we moved on to a new refrigerator. But anyway,

spk_1:   30:57
so I've got a tiny Paris scissors. I've got a medium pair scissors. I've got a fairly large and curved pair of scissors

spk_0:   31:07
and these air. I'm looking at these, either really good burnished stainless steel. Not the Pakistan Krug stuff this Israel actual surgical.

spk_1:   31:20
Yeah, it's not the stuff you buy from surgical supply houses for people that has all the insurance for doing anything on people tucked into the price, the kind you get from the medical veterinarian. That's where

spk_0:   31:34
we got the supply places. Top quality,

spk_1:   31:38
exact same tools, much cheaper pair of Claude forceps for gripping skin Should you need to put some suitors in? I don't keep suit during supplies in here because most of the things that I could realistically think I've might want or need to suit you're on the road. I don't want to suit your dang thing on the road.

spk_0:   32:00
That's what those little

spk_1:   32:01
butterfly strips will take care of that. The butterfly strips take care of things in the short term. Very nicely

spk_0:   32:07
again. These are not. This is not our big medical bag. This is our just what she cares what we carry with us in the car. She hers is a little more than mine. I don't have quite as much of medical stuff she does, because, frankly, I don't know how to use a lot of it. So there's no point carrying, but our big medical bag, you know, it's like we have a miniature hospital.

spk_1:   32:32
It's meant for wilderness tracking the medical person in the book in the group carries This is a backpack. We got one of those. For

spk_0:   32:39
those of you who know the military type terms, we have, ah, expanded upon an advanced stomp back. That's what we carry. So you take it, take a stop back and everything is stopped. Bag would have in it. And then we've added a bunch of other stuff. So if you know the technical jargon jargon, that's what that's what That's our actual home medical kit.

spk_1:   33:08
And last but not least, I give you the Hema stats, which you might know as fishing pliers. Yeah, little guys with the curved ends and jaws the crab. And they've got a little sawtooth on the handle. So when you quit, come close. They stay closed, and you gotta kind of pullem sideways a little bit to get him to unlatch. That's a hemostat. Um, these were there, named after what they were developed for. When you've got a wound that's bleeding and you need to get it stopped right now so you can get in there and see what's going on and clean it up. You need to stop it. Right now you're reaching with the human stats, Pinch around where it's bleeding. Click it closed and the chemo stats stop the blood flow. The name means blood. Still, he must answer Stop leading, so you can absolutely use him for that. They're also great for just general gripping and hanging onto stuff

spk_0:   34:09
and for pulling fish hooks out of deep.

spk_1:   34:12
Yeah, it's one of the many tools that you now find in common use that originated for lab use. And people who worked in labs were all like, hey, these a really cool. I'm gonna take some of these home waring blender lab tool. Sharpie markers. Lab tool. Hema sets fishing pliers. Lab tool. The original ones were quite literally the seconds from the surgical supply houses, but they started selling so well. They started just making a whole bunch of extra ones. I see. I'm missing something here that I need to add. I thought I had a pair in here, but I don't see him. I need a little tipped. Forceps are very important for splinter removal. And I live, ladies and gentlemen with a splinter, A tractor. So it's important for me to have splinter removal

spk_0:   35:04
tools. I am a splinter. A tractor. You've never seen somebody get as many splinters as I D'oh!

spk_1:   35:10

spk_0:   35:11
the morning, I walk to the bathroom will come back. Honey, I got a splinter in my butt. She's like you walked on carpet the entire way. How could you have splinters in your foot?

spk_1:   35:21
I don't like Ah! Hey,

spk_0:   35:26

spk_1:   35:37
I consider myself a good sport about it, and then I don't wake

spk_0:   35:41
up every morning. I gotta split, you know? So yeah, Needle nose. Forceps.

spk_1:   35:49
A little less. Forceps need to be added. Everything else here is as it should be. I think

spk_0:   35:54
so. Yeah. That's that is the the goes with us everywhere. Bag. Now, this is not This is not your standard three day, but this doesn't have any clothing in it. Which obviously you want to have some clothing and a pair of shoes. Eyeglasses were spare part eyeglasses,

spk_0:   36:45
Do you want to do the as always, part? I'll let you do the has always part.

spk_1:   36:50
We would if you appreciate these and would like to express your appreciation by doing something nice for us. What? The only thing we would ask for you to do is to share information about this. Ah, podcast and our three b y sight beans, bullets, bandages and you dot com with the people you think might be interested. We're not in it to make money. At the moment. We don't have any ads.

spk_0:   37:16
We may have those help

spk_1:   37:18

spk_0:   37:20
some point, Google ads type stuff. Nothing. Nothing, really? Yeah, no sponsors, but

spk_1:   37:25
it's not gonna cost your darn thing. And we're not gonna get hold of you and try and sell your stuff. We just want to help people do. Well, no matter if life treats them well or badly.

spk_0:   38:00
Right now. One last thing about about her bag that she's got here. This is a bag from the 19 nineties. It's an old laptop type.

spk_1:   38:11
Yeah, Texas Instruments

spk_0:   38:12
to convince With laptop bag, You don't have to go out and buy the new hyper super tactical bags. This is an old recycled Texas instrument bag that I have no idea where I came up. Probably I never had Texas instrument laptop, so I probably somebody gave it to me or I got it at a thrift store for a time. So anyway, but it works great. It's really well made.

spk_1:   38:35
We just thought pretty hard about what we really wanted to have in there and stocked it that way.

spk_0:   38:43
