To clarify my point, CPR and hemorrhage control are not mutually exclusive at all. You should be prepared to administer both if you carry medical supplies around. Ultimately you have to assess your patient and address problems by priority. I just want to underline that CPR is functionally as close to we get to "in the field life support," and that dismal outcomes are reflective the severity of the patient's condition and not usually a failure of provider or technique.
Out of curiosity, what's the "normal" price for this?Originally Posted by einherjarvalk
I could be wrong, but at one point I believe I remember seeing (or reading) somewhere that it was $77. The QuikClot and the TQ alone would be about $70, in looking a the regular prices on their site.

Is that NAR stop the bleed kit a good/recommended one?
Interested, too. It looks like it has good/standard/accepted stuff in it.

I believe I saw Chuck Haggard or some other PF respected instructor mentioning the recommending this kit at the price. Based on the limited experience I have in buying med gear, the price is seems to be pretty good for just the TQ + hemostatic gauze alone, plus you get the extra gauze, instruction card and gloves.
If you have a flexible spending account you can probably get this covered as well, which adds to the savings.
ETA - buying from NAR also avoids problem of fakes that can show up on some sites such as Amazon.

Oooh, good one! I forgot about using medical flexible spending for first-aid supplies.

I just ordered 4. My thought is my car, wife's car, kitchen, and dad bag.
I just ordered one plus some more chest seals. NAR offers free shipping for orders over $50 but shipping is over $10 for just the med kit ($49.99) so adding some more supplies becomes pretty cost effective.
