Spring is fast approaching and we're getting more & more calls from hunters/shooters/outdoorsmen who are looking to upgrade equipment. However, one simple item/addition that sometimes gets overlooked is a "Blow Out" first aid/trauma kit. Heaven forbid one of us ends up with a traumatic injury in the woods, working in the shop, or at the range, but it makes good sense to be prepared should the worst come to fruition.
There are many different setups out there that address different perceived range/match emergencies, such as IFAKs, & "boo boo" kits, standard first aid kits, etc. The kit being offered here is put together by Adventure Medical Kits & not only includes items to remedy the small, more common injuries such as cuts, scrapes, etc., but also includes a pack of QuikClot. As many who have been there, done that on the battlefield will attest, QuikClot is a last resort product in the event that bleeding can't be stopped by all other available methods (heavy gauze & pressure, tournaquet, etc). It should not be used with 99% of injuries, but it is better to have it & not need it than to need it & not have it should a 1% type of emergency arise.
Here is a description & list of item included in this Blow Out kit:
Designed with all of the essentials required to stop or control bleeding. QuikClot is a chemically inert material in a mesh bag that speeds coagulation of blood, resulting in a stable clot that stops bleeding. Stops bleeding quicker than conventional methods and is safe to leave on wounds until more advanced medical help arrives. * Package contains a 3.5 x 3.5 in. (25g) bag of QuikClot.
