When it comes to such a serious subject like stopping massive bleeding, I would pay the extra and rely on something like Quikclot or celox that has a proven record. If you are camping and your daughter or son got a bad cut and you couldn't stop the bleeding I don't think you would care about how much you saved on some unknown product, you would want something that is known to work and is in use by the army and police. Also products like Quikclot is constantly being upgraded to give you the best possible protection.
