A good haemostatic supply

[Mortblanc]

I keep the stuff on hand due to the meds I take for my heart.

I am on an anti-clotting agent so a cut that one would normally place a pressure dressing on and make a quick trip to urgent care for 10-15 stitches might bleed me out by the time i arrived.

I keep a package of Quick Clot and several pressure dressings in each of my vehicles due to that bing the place they would most likely be needed for roadway accidents and such. Plus, if I am injured badly and on my own I will be headed for the vehicle first thing anyway.

SHTF, it depends on the situation. In a temporary situation like grid down or flood using QC on a bad injury that will have attention in a few hours only makes sense.

If you are ten years into the Apocalypse trying to carry a book to Alcatraz, not so much.
