A must for the core backpacker!

By Brad Bleak August 3, 2009

I heard about the, "Adventure Medical QuikClot Sport Silver Clotting Sponge" from our backcountry blog & from an article that mentioned the military uses the same thing for quick treatment of wounds (before the medivac arrives)...I've never used them (knock on wood) & hope I never have to use one in the backcountry; but with all the dogs I take with me, and accidents that can happen to the bro's I think with how light it is & the fact that it could save your damn life is a good reason to take at least 2 with you on every backcountry excursion...the ultralight medical kit from Adventure Medical is also a must (it's so light people, if you have room for your treats {rum, candy, green stuff} you have room for 2 quick clot patches & a ultralight medical kit)!!!
