Current medical recommendations for large bleeds is to use a Quik-Clot sponge and Celox granules as needed.

I keep pocket knife, flashlight, band-aids, 4x4s, scissors, tape, Liquid Bandage, antibiotic cream, light pain relief (aspirin, etc.), gloves, cord, and BFI powder in my daily kit. BFI will work as a light coagulant.

I probably ought to add Benadryl, gloves, paracord, superglue, and hemostatic powder to my backpack, because I have it with me pretty often.

Hemostatic powder is amazing (I hear; I’ve never had the chance to use it). There are less toxic and more resilient forms of Superglue (octyl rather than ethyl cyanoacrylate) that you might look into. And I think activated charcoal tablets are useful in a wider range of cases than Pepto-Bismol, but I could be wrong about that.

What’s the rubber for? Would an unlubricated condom work?
