Justin Barbour's video: THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE IN THE WILDERNESS

This is a wilderness first aid kit review for both me and my dog Saku. It has worked for us on long expeditions in extreme remote areas. I am not a medical professional though I have sought professional advice for most of Saku's and some of my kit choices. This information will be helpful but please use at your own discretion. When in doubt talk to a doctor or veterinarian. Thanks for watching, new videos WEEKLY! Please subscribe and hit the bell for SERIES notifications.

Didn't have this in the video but it has a number of uses: Putting it liberally on surfaces being bitten by insects or parasites can stop their bites from penetrating your dog's skin. It suffocates ticks. It helps in alleviating the irritation caused by insect bites. Sometimes I take it other times I don't because Polysporin can take its place) - Amoxicillin for infection - 25ml bottle of "Tincture of Iodine" - Multi-Vitamins (don't take these daily only when I am rationing and eating less food on long trips. Though it may not be a bad idea to take one daily to increase physical performance during demanding days) - Aloe Vera Gel for burns - A pack of jello I have had in my kit before for Hypothermic situations. It is essential to keep a hypothermic person adequately hydrated and fuelled. Food intake should include hot liquids, sugars, GORP. One of the best fuels is hot Jello which contains both protein and sugars. Even eating the powder straight up will provide very quick heat for the body. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine. - a couple heat packs/warmers - spare matches, fires steel, lighter, dryer lint (not really first aid but I keep it with those items) - two zip ties - few pairs of plastic medical gloves - couple tea candles for emergency lighting - Alpacka Raft Patch kit : Tyvek tape, Gorilla Tape, Alcohol Wipes, Aquaseal-also good for other repairs- Spare Nozzle and Valve Cap, Floor Fabric Patch, Patch-N-Go tape Supported Gear: Hoodie Boilup NL: https://www.boilupnl.ca/ Alpacka Raft : https://www.alpackaraft.com/rafting/ ---Adventure was filmed with a Canon 80d (18-135mm kit & 50mm prime lens + Gobe 49mm ND Filter) and GoPro Hero 5.
