Anybody try this stuff? A rockclimber that climbed trees with me the other day said it works great. Might be a great addition to any first aid kit. Not sure about the "life saving pill" but he said you just put the powder on wounds and they stop bleeding.

Looks good for when shaving as well.

My pops has a waxy bar he uses for shaving cuts, I am told surgeons HATE Celox and the type of product except in the case of a life threatening bleed.

Many ER's don't even know what to do with wounds dressed in products like those types of products.

I'm somewhat oppossed to that activiety .

That stuff sounds a bit like Sulfur Powder wound treatment. You can still buy it under other names, been around for countless wars.

That's the way to go, saved the guy in the News thread that cut his neck. It's in the video.

"This pill is magic and reportedly safes the life of people who otherwise would just be doomed to die e.g. after seriously being wounded." :roll: Is this snake oil? Cause I heard that stuff cures everything too. It's funny how these sorts of online cons are always written with poor spelling and grammar. It's almost as if the author was an idiot.

That might be a better way of describing why not to use it unless its actually a life threatening cut. Thanks Dave, you're a pretty nice guy.

What do you use for shaving?

A wakizashi or an axe?

I find it almost impossible to nick yourself with modern razor blades.

 

[Greenhorn]

I bet he uses a straight razor, maybe even has a nice collection of them!
