What's in your first aid kit?

The amazing blood clotting gauze Quick-Clot is becoming more widely available world wide at a much reduced price (now the us military have a stockpile of it)
It clots severe wounds where otherwise death by bleedout within as little as 3- 6 minutes is likely.
Can be used on all parts of the body including neck or head.
Z-Medica are one of the distributors with world wide reach.

Quick clot also comes in a small package that can be slipped into a top pocket, far better than it being stowed in the luggage locker.

It is ideal to be administered by one's self or an untrained passenger.

CELOX is a similar product, in a granular form.
