    well i have taken quite the ribbing from my wife over the past few weeks since i started carring my “murse” as she calls it. but a couple of weeks ago, one week to the day that i started carrying my utg edc bag, our 11 year old son fell off his bike and sustained a SEVERE puncture wound on his thigh very close to his femoral artery. we were with him at the time and so was my edc bag. thank god for my fak! i was able to stave off the bleeding with a tournaquet using a shoulder sling and one of my folding knives until the rescue squad arrived on scene. now to my question. does anyone know of anything i can carry in my fak to stop bleeding, or at the very least slow it down? there was alot of blood, and i mean ALOT! after it was all said and done my son recieved 13 stitches, but thankfully no artery knick. i came away looking like i was at a murder scene. please advise and thanks in advance for your time.
