Customer Reviews
I have recommended Quikclot before. Here's what I said:
"This product stops bleeding cold. Right Now. Note- it is expensive and a little messy, so don't go using it for everyday cuts, those where the bleeding is easily controlled by pressure. But this could very well save a life, especially out in the field.
Get one of the large packs and keep it at home in your 1st Aid kit, and one of the smaller packs to carry in your beltpouch or daypack, along with a few Band-Aids and the usual stuff.
Most first aid kits do not contain this product as it is too expensive, so you'll have to add it yourself. What is handy with this product is that you can apply it to yourself in a pinch."
So, you'd think I'd rate a kit with Quikclot with . However, I can't quite. See, other than the Quikclot, this is just an ordinary handy little 1st aid kit.
From Adventure Medicals site, here's what's in this:
"Bandage Materials

2 Antihistamine (Diphenhydramine 25 mg)
1 Aspirin (325 mg), Pkg./2
2 Ibuprofen (200 mg), Pkg./2
Wound Care
6 After Cuts ; Scrapes Anethestic/Antiseptic Wipe
1 Dressing, Petrolatum, 3" x 3"
1 Tape, 1/2" x 10 Yards
2 Triple Antibiotic Ointment, Single Use"
A decent list, but other than the Quikclot, hardly unique.
So, it would be quite a bit cheaper to just take your already existing 1st Aid kit and just throw in the Quikclot, which runs $10-$15.
But, this is still a good kit, and fairly complete even though quite compact. If you don't already have a small kit, this is not a bad choice.
This is full of probably anything you might need for a basic emergency and then a little..first off no scissors..basic for a first aid kit. Next, everything is really packed in almost to tightly..you need to go through everything to make sure you know where it is at. They could have spent an extra dollar and made it a bit bigger and give you a little extra room for your personal things you may need. There was no ammonia ampulates which kind of surprise me..but other than the QuikClot (which I bought it for)..it is a 9.95 Wally World special.

Product Description
The biggest kit in the world won't make a difference if it's sitting in camp while you're in the field. The Field Trauma with QuikClot is designed to be small enough to stash into a daypack while equipping you with the supplies and information to venture 1-2 days away from your base. A 25g QuikClot Sport dressing stops life-threatening bleeding fast, while the included bandages, dressings, and medication enable you to stabilize the fracture or sprain, and keep the patient comfortable while you make your way back to camp or await rescue.
