Adventure Medical Kit Trauma Pak First Aid Kit with QuikClot - First Aid Kit for Emergency Supplies, Camping Essentials & More - Compact Trauma Kit with Gloves, Alcohol Swabs, Bandages & More

Exactly what I wanted for a quick kit in my truck.

Happily, I have not had to test this product. Hopefully, this will control bleeding until we can get to help. I have carried these around for years. Just make sure to watch the dating as they do not last forever.

Great for emergencies. Highly functional when you're in a bad situation. Open the pouch & follow the instructions

The Trauma Pak has to be opened to check the "Use By" date on the Quick Clot package.I always read negative reviews when I'm interested in a product or book, and a particular negative review alerted me to a potentially crucial deal killer: the Quick Clot could be out-of-date when you need it most!I went ahead with this purchase so I could see for myself, and I'm glad I did as I find the product quite excellent! Although, if it were needed in a trauma emergency it could prove quite useless if the Quick Clot were to be out of date, which necessitates the non-optimal need to rip open the nicely sealed "WATERPROOF" bag the kit is packaged in. I have no doubt ripping open the bag to inventory contents and check the "Use By (year-month)" date on the Quick Clot package destroys the storage bag's waterproof integrity.Without a "Use By" date marked on the exterior of the kit, how would I know when the Quick Clot needs replacing?The manufacturer, "Tender Corporation" can and should fix this problem. How?1). If the "TRAUMA PAK" is packed by hand before sealing, an inspector label identifying who packed the kit and what the "Use By" date of the Quick Clot is could be stuck to the outside of each "Trauma Pak".2). If the manufacturing process has automated the packing of the contents into the kit, then the printing of the waterproof storage packs should be coordinated and batch sized to coincide with the Lot number of the Quick Clot products that will be placed in the storage packs so that the storage packs can display an identical "Use By" date that matches the Quick Clot product contained within printed on the Trauma Pak package.This TRAUMA PAK is an excellent product. Too bad it currently has this one serious caveat. Hopefully Tender Corporation will work on correcting this potentially serious problem.

I have been trying to buy a quikclot sponge on eBay or Amazon for less than $15 bucks, I seriously can't find them any cheaper. I really wanted to have a few in my go bag, my car and my first aid kit at home. I also needed some medical info for myself so I could access whatever gruesome situation I may find myself in and do the right thing. I came across this kit finally which had multiple medical supplies and the sponge as well as a little medical information which I read and found very useful and to the point.I subscribed to this product so I can get another buck or two off and essentially I am getting the whole pack for a dollar more than the sponge alone. I was given a very nice first aid kit for Christmas but if didn't have some essentials that this kit includes and it had different sizes of pads which I felt complimented the original kit well. The leaflet of info also was an improvement over what the original kit included as it was specific to hunting and survivalist situations including specific types of punctures by arrowheads and bullets... it's very nice to have a broader perspective for wound dressing than the original literature I had provided.I highly recommend this product as a inclusive package that is offered at a reasonable price which gives atypical wound dressing information in addition to the proper tools to address many scenarios. I would highly suggest you open the kit, read the info, collect a few of the necessities suck as a sharp small medical knife and so on for potential scenarios specific to your needs...such as hunting/shooting, remote camping etc to back up the kit and yourself.We don't just need first aid kits with bandaids and CPR instructions these days, we all should have basic medical skills and supplies so we are prepared for the expected, the unexpected and are capable of saving ourselves and others. We can't blindly hope and rely upon emergency services to be everywhere in time.Update, I went with my husband and two young kids up a canyon road I remember being much smoother. The road was so bad it took almost an hour to get to the destination. We had a near collision between a dirt biker who was off trail and our three year old and I immediately realized how far we were from medical help. I just ordered another one of these and a few other necessities to keep in my side pack. I highly recommend that anyone venturing beyond suburbia with children or not carry this kit and a quality first aid kit!
