Yeah if it's for your wife and you than carring two types of meds is justified. I was just thinking that if you only use meds yourself I would caryr the one that works better.

You are right about 4by4s... Problem is the space. If you are makign a portable kit than there is not much you can fit in there. On the other hand if youa re packing your bigger kits (like car kit) sky is the limit as far as the amount of 4by4s you can take.

But you also brought up a perefect example of what i was talking about few replies above:

You got a call to an MVA with a nasty cut. What would you do first as a bystander:
is it airway managment?
is it cspine precautions?
is it calf wound that poses no threat?
would you tell the guy to get out of the car so you can take care of his leg?
would you be brave enough to apply TQ?
will you use quickclot and [censored] of ER staff?

A lot of times short of serious bleeds that put people into shock bleeding is not that big of a priority. Yeah you want to stop it eventualy but c spine and air way is your priority.
