My buddy calls me yesterday, "Can you drive me to the hospital?"
He's a self-employed carpenter...works alone, lots of things can go wrong on the jobsite

"Um...sure - what's up?"

"I got a cut on my hand and another on my leg."

"OK, where are you I'll be right there."

So, when I pull up, it turns out he's had a tussle with a power wood carving tool sort of like this. It's hit his left hand pretty good and then his left thigh.

All I can say is that I used a LOT of gauze to get him packaged for the trip to the ER. I didn't want him bleeding all over my jeep, after all. In fact, I used up all 8 of the 4x4's and 6 of the 6x6 gauze I keep in my car kit, and even then, we probably could have used more.

He'll have a bit of recovery time - he took a knick out of one of the bones in the back of his hand and chewed things up fairly well, but he won't need surgery or anything.

But anyway - pack more sterile gauze. It's incredibly useful.
