Video Transcription

its mission a to survival today I'm going to talk about making a poultice at a euro and your bandanna to secure a bleeding wound don't go away okay so

basically if I'm going to make a poultice on my yarrow I'm going to just rip off the leaves right here on the stems there's a few ways to do it but the way that whether i like to do it's really quick and easy I just fold it up and then I chew it just mash it up macerate it and to add some saliva and liquid to it so I'm throwing it up making it wet I'm releasing

chemical compounds

they're right there then it feels like it's like wet and juicy all of a sudden it feels like you have a bunch of yahwah juicy mouth perfect so if i have / or wound right here I would get it all wet like that and cover it on the wound I'm assuming I have a slash put my knife or something like that make sure that it's plenty wet it's not wet enough food a little more yeah okay

it comes the beauty of the bandana lay that over your wound will be a poultice on your going right now on a wound if it's bleeding which is what this is simulating you definitely want to make sure that you have pressure on it as much as possible that tent that's gonna help stop bleeding too let's give it a few turns and opposite directions and then it's make an overhand just type alright so now I'm good to go my wound is covered I pulled this is on there and that's really all there is to it I mean I pulled this literally is just chewed up plant matter and it's put on your wound and you know you don't have to chew it up all I said it's all I said there's a few ways to do it you don't to chew it up but that's basically what it is it's it's macerated to chew it up plant plant matter mixed in with liquid usual water or saliva and then it's put on your wound and you just secure it to your wound and then you want to keep taking it off depending on how how bad the wound is you want to take it off and you want to refresh it and you want to put a new a new poultice on there as necessary the other way that I was mentioning a second ago would be instead of chewing it up will be put inside a cup or inside your hand with some water and you know you just agitate it inside your hand like this filled with water or inside your cup just smash it all up like that so same deal I just chew it cuz it's fast you know because if I'm bleeding I'm bleeding I don't want to mess around so I just chew it up and get it done all right what's my mission 8 at survival thanks for joining me today talking about a yarrow poultice I appreciate your views your comments need support I'll see in the next one take care
