Lets separate the operators from the internet ninjas...

If you carry sharp pointy objects, sooner of later you will have that "OH S__T!" moment that a band aid will not fix. You might have to fix it yourself before getting to an ER or MD's office....

Well, I was curious to know who in our Blades Community has either (1) the training, or (2) the nasty experience then the training, to make part of there EDC something to stop really nasty arterial bleeders - the ones that shoot blood over 10 feet into the air... Operators know, internet ninjas wait till it happens and then find out that 911 is too far out....

I vastly prefer cat or sof-t to the swat-t. Also, that kit contains a lot of bulk and can't be easily carried on person. This is my go to kit, I have mine stocked with a cat, celox rapid, 6inch compression bandage, and gloves. On body all the time! A large kit is great, but not it you cant get to it. http://www.tuffproducts.com/7914-tuff-ankle-tourniquet-rig/

Dmt37Agreed. In my personal kits, I replaced the CAT-T's with SOF-T's when I found out that the CAT-T windlass can break if you put enough pressure on it. So, I replaced with SOF-T's with the metal windlass and latch. My blow out kits are large - I wear them in a thigh rig while "working", but they contain two sizes of Celox Rapid gauze, two Asherman chest seals (think through-and-through), an Israeli 4" bandage, shears, two sets of nitrile gloves, a 2AA Streamlight flashlight, a sterile emergency burn blanket (also good for shock and loss of body temp), and a Sharpie.

48thRoninExcellent, in addition to what I keep on my person, I always have a more suitably stocked kit nearby. Two more cat, an additional rats (small children, elderly folks and dogs have too small of limbs for a cat), two more quikclot, two chest seals, extra gloves, space blanket (as you said this is for shock), additional gloves, sharpie (writing times on the cats), another 6 inch compression bandage and some shears. I'm always carrying my 1000 lumen pocket light so my kits do not need additional lighting.

celox is made with shellfish...no research has proven it will cause allergic reactions.....BUT if you have shellfish allergies id use quick clot...THE NEW stuff not the old that caused some exothermic reactions...

warchyld67Yes, the original Quick Clot reacted with moisture to create a rather high temperature exothermic reaction - basically, it stopped the bleed by searing the blood vessels shut. The military trauma docs I know said that it didn't leave them much to work with in terms of reattaching nerves or blood vessels, more often than not they would amputate... but, given a choice between bleeding out or amputation....
