[QUOTE="Kentuckywindage, post: 2748161, member: 119330"] After enduring a gunshot I carry my own made up IFAK in my pack. At the range it's there, hunting, even on vacation it's there close. Backpack, leg, in vehicle etc. Paranoid? No doubt about it. If me, my loved ones, my friends, just someone in need comes about, I have it. Bandaid, butterflies, gauze, tape, aspirin, benadryl, a finger splint, larger moldable splint, Israeli bandage, bloodstop, burn cream, poison ivy cream, baby wipes, (Huggies I found best over years as they do not burn as others do on broken skin) drink mix with electrolytes and such. I have used these type packs before. As per blood stop. I had a heart attack and was placed on blood thinners. We were in Louisville at a school event for my son. Good way from home. I had a nose bleed, ( my wife said looked like Cherry Koolaid) that placed me in the hospital there over night with something that looked to be a tampon in my nostril. Placed there by a clinic down the road, (tampons and pads are also good to keep in your IFAK. Read up many different uses). A few weeks later I had another. This time I used the bloodstop crystal type. I worked perfectly, but sealed my nose shut. I visited my doctor a day or so later. He told me to show up next morning and use warm water for removal, it would be ready in a room. That way if it started to bleed again help was close by. It took soaking with hands full of warm water. Nose in the double hands full of water. It did come loose in pieces with a little soft help. No bleed started. It forms a sort of rubbery, hard seal. Worked great for me though. [/QUOTE]
