I have recommended Quikclot before. Here's what I said:
"This product stops bleeding cold. Right Now. Note- it is expensive and a little messy, so don't go using it for everyday cuts, those where the bleeding is easily controlled by pressure. But this could very well save a life, especially out in the field.
Get one of the large packs and keep it at home in your 1st Aid kit, and one of the smaller packs to carry in your beltpouch or daypack, along with a few Band-Aids and the usual stuff.
Most first aid kits do not contain this product as it is too expensive, so you'll have to add it yourself. What is handy with this product is that you can apply it to yourself in a pinch."
So, you'd think I'd rate a kit with Quikclot with *****. However, I can't quite. See, other than the Quikclot, this is just an ordinary handy little 1st aid kit.
From Adventure Medicals site, here's what's in this:
"Bandage Materials
4Bandage, Adhesive, Fabric, 1" x 3"
3Bandage, Adhesive, Fabric, Knuckle
2Bandage, Butterfly Closure
1Bandage, Elastic, Self Adhering, 2"
2Dressing, Gauze, Sterile, 2" x 2", Pkg./2
2Dressing, Gauze, Sterile, 4" x 4", Pkg./2
1Dressing, Non-Adherent, Sterile, 3" x 4"

2Trauma Pad, 5" x 9"

1Splinter Picker/Tick Remover Forceps

Medical Information
1Comp. Guide to Wilderness & Travel Medicine

Medication
1After Bite Wipe
2Antihistamine (Diphenhydramine 25 mg)
1Aspirin (325 mg), Pkg./2
2Ibuprofen (200 mg), Pkg./2

Wound Care
6After Cuts & Scrapes Anethestic/Antiseptic Wipe
1Dressing, Petrolatum, 3" x 3"
1Tape, 1/2" x 10 Yards
2Triple Antibiotic Ointment, Single Use"
A decent list, but other than the Quikclot, hardly unique.
So, it would be quite a bit cheaper to just take your already existing 1st Aid kit and just throw in the Quikclot, which runs $10-$15.
But, this is still a good kit, and fairly complete even though quite compact. If you don't already have a small kit, this is not a bad choice.
