You are the first responder! Reality is when you call 911 it takes time for trained professionals to arrive. Be an asset while you wait for EMS arrival. Carry more than a generic IFAK. Carry gear that is built to save lives, stop the bleed capable, more than just bandaids. Without the right gear you are simply a bystander.

❤️ Every year, people die on the trail from a heart attack. Not because help was too far away. Because nobody knew what to do in the first 5 minutes.

I’ve worked the ER. I’ve seen what happens when bystanders freeze, or worse — tell someone to “walk it off.”

Here’s what an ER Doc needs every outdoor person to know:

Know the signs. Chest pressure or pain. Pain radiating down the left arm. Shortness of breath. Sweating with no exertion. Nausea. Jaw pain. Any one of these is a red flag. All of them together is a 911 call.

1. Stop all movement immediately. Do not let them keep hiking. Do not let them “push through.” Sit them down, leaning back at a comfortable angle. Physical exertion makes the heart work harder — that is the last thing you want right now.

2. Give them 325mg of aspirin and have them CHEW it. Not swallow whole — chew. Chewing breaks it down faster and gets it into the bloodstream in minutes rather than 30. This is one of the most impactful things a bystander can do before EMS arrives.

3. Call 911 or activate your SOS device immediately. In the backcountry, a satellite communicator is not optional — it is the difference between a rescue and a body recovery. Every minute of delay matters.

Keep them calm. Keep them still. Keep them breathing.

That’s it. Three steps. That’s what buys them time until the OR.

🌲 If someone is impaled on the trail, your first instinct will almost certainly kill them.

I’ve seen it in the ER. Someone gets impaled by a branch, a fence post, a piece of metal. The bystanders panic and pull it out.

That is the wrong call. Every time.

Here’s what an ER Doc needs you to know:

The impaled object is acting as a plug. It is physically holding back catastrophic internal bleeding. The moment you remove it, that bleeding becomes uncontrollable in the field.

Leave it in. Stabilize it. Evacuate.

Here’s how:

1. Pack gauze tightly around the base. Build a thick collar of padding on all sides of the object at skin level.

2. Place rolled bandages on either side to form a supportive structure — like a log cabin around the object. This prevents it from rocking or shifting.

3. Wrap medical tape firmly over the entire structure. The object must be completely immobilized. Any movement causes more internal damage.

Then get them out. This is a surgical emergency — your job in the field is to keep them alive until the OR.

This is the kind of knowledge that doesn’t make it onto a first aid card. We built PrepEM Wild so you’d already have it.

June is dedicated as Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. It serves as a vital time to break societal stigmas, challenge outdated notions of masculinity, and remind men that seeking help is a genuine sign of strength.

Men are nearly four times more likely to die by su***de than women. In the United States, the male su***de rate is approximately 22.8 per 100,000, with over 39,000 men dying by su***de annually. This translates to a tragic milestone of one man taking his own life every 13 minutes

This is a clip from where we discussed mental health , addiction and the options that exist including Ibogaine to help with PTSD, addiction and depression.

🩸 This skill takes 60 seconds to learn. It could take 3 minutes to bleed out.

Severe limb bleeding is the #1 preventable cause of death in the backcountry.

Here’s what an ER Doc wants you to know before you ever need it:

1. Place HIGH and TIGHT — above the wound, close to the joint never across a joint! Not over the wound itself.

2. Pull the strap as tight as humanly possible. It’s going to hurt. That means it’s working.

3. Twist the windlass until the bleeding stops. Lock it in place.

4. Write the time. Doctors need to know how long it’s been on.

That’s it. Four steps. That’s the difference between making it home and not.

Every PrepEM Wild IFAK comes with a tourniquet — because we’ve seen what happens when people don’t have one. 🎒

Your $20 drugstore first aid kit isn’t going to save you in the backcountry.

When you’re miles from the nearest hospital, you are the first responder. That’s exactly why a board-certified ER Physician built PrepEM Wild — a compact, rugged trauma kit designed for real emergencies, not just paper cuts.

Forget the cheap band-aids. We pack real life-saving gear:

🩸 SnakeStaff ETQ Tourniquet (Made in USA)
🩸 WoundClot Hemostatic Gauze
🦴 18” Moldable SAM Splint
🩹 ABD Pad, Wound Compress, Burn Dressings & more

“Quality and reliability are that of US Navy & Marine Corps IFAKs.” — 24-Year Navy Corpsman & SERE Instructor

Stop carrying a glorified band-aid box. Get the kit built by the pros.

🩸 Most people don’t think about it — until they need it.

I’ve worked the ER. I’ve seen what happens when someone gets hurt in the backcountry, on the trail, or in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a cheap kit and a prayer.

A band-aid won’t stop bleeding. A lollipop won’t save your life.

That’s why we built PrepEM Wild.

Real IFAKs. Built by an ER Doc. Designed with actual experience and common sense — not just to check a box, but to get you home alive.

Every kit we build is the same one I’d want in my own hands when it matters most.

Don’t wait for the moment to find out yours wasn’t enough. 🎒
