A new item for my B.O.B.

Post by Toepopper »

I bought 2 packages of "Quick Clot" and added them to the small emergency medical kit in my bug out bag. Quick Clot is a gauze type pad filled with a blood coagulent enzyme and when placed over a wound it stops the bleeding within a few seconds. It comes wrapped in a sterile foil package, takes up very little space and weighs almost nothing so this is an appropriate item for your bug out bag. Both the Army and Marine Corps have adopted this product because it works so well to stop the bleeding from gun shot wounds. It comes in 2 sizes, the smaller size costs $11.20 and the larger is $15.40 and that is a small price to pay for something that could save you from bleeding out before you can get to proper medical care. I am going to get more and carry them in my vehicles as well as the BOB.
