Almost certainly a waste of money. Pressure will stop any bleeding that isn't going to kill you before you can get to a hospital. BTW I do quite a bit of work with wounds, to say the least, so I feel pretty comfortable taking pot shots at this product from the couch.

I agree, save your money.  You'd be much better off adding a tourniquet to your pack and learning how to properly use it than adding this stuff.

Well I guess Ill have to disagree. I carry this in my pack, 3-d quiver and in my truck. The reason being is one of my hunting partners is on blood thinners and his Dr. told him to always have this available when in the outdoors.

What about the "Quick Clot" products?

I was an Army medic. I love the Quick clots and carry two. Wish we had them 30 years ago. I don't know about the powder, but it's probably the same agent. I definitely think if you're out there a ways and get cut bad, it'd be better than a tourniquet.

I'm no medic, and my training consist of how to use the stuff on myself or one of my partners.  The Quick Clot powders (even better is the gauze treated with it) are good and certainly have their application.  If you are treating gunshot wounds or something with a large amount of trauma they are very valuable.  If you are treating lacerations, they aren't going to offer you much more benefit than you can get from direct pressure.  If direct pressure won't stop the bleeding from the laceration, the clotting agents aren't goint to help you much.  At that point, it's time to go to a tourniquet.

Make sure you understand what kind of clotting agent products you have.  Some of the older ones can cause physical burns and tissue damage.  The newer ones do not.

I didn't know that about the burning. Good info JLS.

Also, if you have quick clot used on you the doctor needs to be told that. You don't want the granule's left inside you. It may seem like the doctor should notice the quick clot but don't assume they will cause it can get missed when you come in looking like a bucket of paint was thrown on you. Some training I've been to suggested painting a Q on the forehead of the person it was applied to, similar to a T with a tourniquet. That way if the person who applied it isn't with you the follow up care will know.

And I agree with JLS that the gauze pad version of the quick clot is better.
