MyMedic - AutoMedic ⎮Car First Aid Kit⎮

A full review of the MyMedic AutoMedic first aid kit. This kit is specifically designed to fit in a glove box and offers a range of capabilities from major hemorrhage control to minor wound care.

Here in Czech Republic it's required by law to have a first aid kit in a car but pretty much all of the pre-made ones are a bad joke. So I built my own kit and stuffed it inside an old British army IFAK bag I got for like 8$. It's been sitting in my 1994 Lancia Delta ever since and fortunately I didn't have to use any of the supplies yet.

The other thing about the burn treatments, is to make sure you know what kind of burn they are meant for.
When I was in high-school working at a McDonald's I got burnt by a chemical they use to scrub the grills. The manager used the wrong burn treatment on me, so when I got to the hospital they had to scrub and flush the hell out of my burn.
That was really pleasant 🙄

I like the bag. That's about it. The rest of the kit is mostly boo-boo stuff. Personally, I stick to plano trays for kitting and keep a CAT/shears on the outside. For $70 you could do a lot better.

I keep a small equate compact first aid kit with me to school mainly used to treat minor wounds and injuries 👌

So one of the 68W medics here in my unit carries those zips, they work well enough, I saw him use a few of them on a buddy's leg after he slashed it open on a snapped cable, held on okay, but definitely recommend wrapping them with gauze not only to protect them but to make sure they don't come off because it does seem that they don't hold on 100% of the time

Thank you so much for all the time and effort you take and put into teaching us and making us better as people and citizens of the most amazing and beautiful country in the world 🇺🇸 I truly appreciate you and what you do brother!

I would absolutely love if you made a video on how to build your own kit so maybe a few bag options and then what to put in those bags obviously it would be similar to what comes in a kit like this but would be cool to see maybe a budget friendly and then an all out no budget $ kit. I like the idea of building your own and do so myself but would love to get some professional opinions and options and see what someone like you would recommend. Thanks again and stay safe!

I agree. Everyone should have a first aid kit in their vehicle. With my budget, I can not afford bags like this one, pre-made with things I will very doubt full that I will ever need and use.
I keep a BugOut bag or Get Home Bag in my truck. If I leave my truck to survey an area, it comes with me. I can sustain life for two people for two days with an extensive trama pack and first aid kit.
Having the right medical supplies is crucial for survival in any situation .
You should have in the minimum:
X2 Isreal Bandages
X2 Ratcheting Tourniquet
X2 Bleedstop
X2 Wound Packing Gauze
X2 Chest Seal
X2 Venelated Chest Seal
X2 Sterile Surgical gloves
X1 Emergency Sizzers
X1 Knife
X1 Headlamp
X1 Penlight
X1 Tweezers
X1 Mirror
X1 Magnifying Glass
That should be a basic Trama Kit, build from that

I think having this kit would be better than nothing for most people, but it's not for me. I have a quick grab bag in my car with some basics and a few advanced items. Then for the more serious stuff, I have a LAPG Range bag I repurposed to hold enough supplies to treat a family (at the moment 6 people) that was in a bad accident. It is unfortunately in my trunk, though easy to grab. I need to get it inside the car where I can quickly grab it as I jump out. Being that I drive a small car (Honda Civic) that has been difficult for me to figure out and implement while not losing space for my kids.

Great kit, thanks for sharing. A tip for the food sealing bags, foodsaver has bags that open with no cutting.

Thank you! Very helpful. We are looking into auto medical bags for our cars.

Actually making a snow cave is one of the essential tips in the winter mountain. In Norway's "mountain knowledge rules" one of them is to bury your self down in time. It does not matter if you don't have any experience in making snow caves, what you make will be better than being exposed to the wind and elements. It will save your life if you are stuck in the mountains in the winter.

Appreciate the review and your time as always. As far as this kit goes, seems OK at best. Another great channel from Gray Bearded Green Beret says more or less “why not make the bar at adequate? (Vs better than nothing.) I tend to agree with that (and I believe you, Sam, do too)

I’m a huge fan of buying from Medical Gear Outfitters, Dietrich and his team are great! Bought a few grand worth of stuff for me and family / friends from there…and then just build my own kits. I would love it if he built a better version of this kit.

In my opinion where I live I would carry a full trauma bag from luminary global founded by a military veteran she does a lot of kits based around civilian and first responders and police because of where I live it’s a high trauma area very unsafe area where the main hospitals are UC Cincinnati gets all the trauma from our city

[K.J.Conradd]

I like how it has that PVC patch markers!

[williamchamberlain]

I am wondering how well any medical kit stands up to the Florida heat? I hate to keep anything for an emergency on my car as it will cook.

[MikeUtah]

Would enjoy seeing your recommended boo boo kit for family camping to carry an addition to a trauma kit.

[andrewbarker]

Hey man. Just started watching some of your vids. I know this is a loaded question but what is probably the best kit you've reviewed so far? I know they can all be modified, but which has the least amount of waste and needs the least amount of addition. Speaking from average Joe perspective with basic Boy Scout training expecting most scenarios on the road. Thanks.

[leslieunderwood]

Great presentation.
I can't say that I am too overly impressed by the kit, even at $69.95. Needs things like an electrolyte packet, etc.

[MikeWood]

The ResQme tool. I'd clip it to the zipper pull. I have one on my keychain and one attached to the overhead grab handle in my car. I really like the zip bag organization. That is a goal for sure for my kits. Ditch the Rats, and put an Israeli bandage in there instead.

[stRanger]

I'd say much better get a Nanuk 903/904 First Aid Case and stuff it with actually useful items. Like NAR IFAK with some boo boo items to cover the whole specter of situations you may face.
Unlike this soft semi water resistant shell Nanuk is actually fully water and shock proof and even floating. You may even order some kits from MyMedic if you really like them.
You'll spend more money for sure, but in the end you'll get a real First Aid Kit, which is probably what you want if your end goal is safety and not an illusion of it.
