For all of those curious about Quikclot, here's a video that they showed us in medic school:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9xvIbKBJn4 As has been said before, it's a tool. And one of the last tools you would actually use.

There's no substitute for hands on training. If you don't feel that you need the training, but still want to learn more, get good book with up-to-date information. Common treatments change over time. The latest resource the Army put out for its medics is this: http://www.amazon.com/68W-Advanced-F...9703098&sr=8-1

These are just for informational purposes, follow my advice (or any other advice on this thread) at your own risk.

Quick disclaimer on the video: It's pretty graphic. If you have a week stomach and can't stand the sight of blood, a) don't watch it and b) stick to paper targets (they bleed less).
