I like keeping things simple:

pack several 4x4s (or other sizes) and apply direct pressure with a gloved hand or wrap a triangular bandage around the wound (not so tight on an arm or leg to cut circulation).

Another alternative product to the above example: Bloodstopper Dressings

I have several in my SAR FAK and have used them once so far. I like them because they're easy to use.
