6 in 1… not 5!,
Don’t forget about the ferro rod glued to the side of the container! The lanyard could be used for many things like shelter building, securing a bandage or mending clothing. I know it’s not much but it’s still there. The compass is luminescent and works well. The ferro rod is small but it does work if you know how to use it. The whistle is loud and hurts my ears. I stuff it with waterproof matches, fire starter and striker. I submerged it for a few minutes and then lit a non waterproof match as a test – no problems with leaks. I got it at Walmart on clearance for a buck.

|JUNK. Save your money!,
I purchased this thing for the sole intention of saving space in amongst my camping gear. The hope of combining several useful items into one that could be tucked away into a side pouch made sense, and since most of the reviews I read for this were positive, I was duped. First off, It’s about a 1/3 larger than I expected, about 6 inches, which makes it a little bulky right away. Second, the whistle barely works, the pea inside tends to stick, giving you little more than a gust of air. Third, the compass gets stuck VERY easily. Sometimes it points north, sometimes it stays whereever it feels like staying; not something you want to deal with if you were actually depending on it for directions. Fourth, the signal mirror inside was glued in off-center and slightly crooked, it would probably still work, but it speaks volumes for the manufacturing quality. Fifth, the flint on the side is tiny, and it took me wearing it almost halfway down before I actually got any sparks, which singed the plastic case. Oh, and unless you have strike-anywhere matches, there’s no way to actually light one of the matches you’re packing, unless you bring your own match strip. Sixth, the lanyard was already unraveling as soon as I opened the package, don’t count on it supporting any kind of weight in an emergency. Finally, the only positive I can give this thing is that it does hold matches, and presumably could keep them dry, but I’m never taking this thing out so it’s not going to matter. Do yourselves a favor and avoid this.

|It gets the job done..,
It is what it is… a $5 piece of plastic. The whistle is good quality and would serve it’s function in an emergency. The compass was surprisingly accurate! As for the container, it fits roughly 20 matches nicley and is completely waterproof. The mirror is small but does work. But i don’t even know why they include the ferro rod… If it even is one! You would never be able to light a fire with it.. you would literally be better off with two sticks! Overall, you’re better off buying a small button compass, a good quality signal mirror, a small waterproof match container, and a firesteel. It’s just redundant to get this if you could have one good quality version of each item.

|A ‘must have’ item for first aid kits.,
When a fellow backpacker slipped while carrying his pack saw, he cut his upper thigh pretty badly. Although no major vessels were involved, the wound bled profusely. This QuikClot product was applied to the wound with direct pressure and then bound in place. While the wound was not extraordinarily severe, the injured man was quite upset by the amount of blood he appeared to be losing prior to application of the dressing. Once the QuikClot product was in place and a thick sterile pad secured over it, only a small amount of blood was visible. This added tremendously to reassure the injured man that he was not in great danger from bleeding. Others in our party assisted the man back to the trail head and he was taken to a local hospital where the laceration was sutured.
This product is an absolute ‘must have’ item in any aid kit for people working or enjoying the out of doors in locations distant from immediate medical care. This order was a replacement for the product I used. As an aside recommendation, QuikClot Sport is very effective when used in conjunction with an ‘Israeli-style’ combat dressing (easily applied by one person or the injured victim).

|Anyone contemplating… please read…,
This review is based on 1st hand experience (unfortunately).
I awoke one morning to a frantic knock on the bathroom door saying someone cut their finger badly. I hustled out of the shower & went down to the kitchen to see what was going on. To my surprise, it wasn’t a cut — but rather an amputation of 1 & 1/2 finger tips. A kitchen towel was wrapped around the hand, but the blood was easily soaking the towel & running down their arm. I ran to get a pack that was in my gun bag & a second one in my diaper bag. By the time I got back (which wasn’t more than a minute or so) the kitchen towel had been swapped out & a huge wad of gauze bandage was now dripping red. I told the victim to press the quikclot on & don’t remove it for any reason. Within 30 seconds, the bleeding had stopped… period. There was no more bleeding until we got to the ER & the quikclot was removed by the doctor. At that point, it bled profusely again because the cut had knicked an artery.
Needless to say, I’m impressed by this product & have urged everyone I know to keep a few around! I now keep one in every vehicle, first aid kit & “high risk” activity bag.
My only complaints: they are rather pricey (for “what ifs”) & a single small pack is really not enough. The small size really limits the types & sizes of injuries that the quikclot can be applied to.
All in all — every household should have at least a couple on hand. For the price of a few beers or coffees, you could save someone’s life. Buy it.

|Should be part of every medical kit,
Quick clot is a natural enzyme that starts the blod clotting process in the body. Our bodies have small amounts of it that are there naturally, except for hemophiliacs. Quick clot is simply concentrated to a high level like vitamin supplements.
The US Army & Marines have chosen quick clot to stop battlefield bleeding and loss of blood volume and pressure. If it’s good enough for the government, and been extensively tested by them then its ready to go for me. It’s a natural product that does the job without nasty chemicals.
You should also have a roll of gauze to go with the quick clot to hold it in place. Pressure is an important part of stopping bleeding but all you get in the package is a 5×5″ square that is embedded with crystals of the quick clot agent – once they get bloody and wet they go to work right away promoting clotting. You need gause to hold the quick clot in place over the wound especially during the first 10 minutes (the clot will form in 5 minutes based on medical testing on the femeral artery being sliced open to insert a port to run a catheter up to the heart. The quick clot is put over the hole in the artery and held in place for 5 minutes, then removed with a nice clot formed over the artery. Keep in mind the arteries have the higher pressure and are harder to stop bleeding because they are high pressure blood vessels.
Finally, it’s been shown that an individual can apply and secure a quick clot bandage by themselves, effectively self-treating a major blead without outside help. That’s impressive, and that’s why the quick clot and the gause roll are the first two items in my medical kit when I am out in no mands land.
It comes in 25g and 50g sizes, the 50g is a better deal and bigger. Get this one.
