Blood Thinners and Hemostatics

[9.3koolaid]

So I just got put on blood thinners for the foreseeable future and I have a pretty remote hunt coming up at the end of the month. I know clotting from any cuts will take longer regardless, but I ordered some quikclot gauze, dressings, and celox powder to stack the odds. Also thinking of packing gloves with a cut rating for field dressing.

Anything else I should be considering or know? Thanks

If you are over 60, consider kevlar sleeves if any skin will be exposed.

31, came as quite the surprise. Is that just because of thinner/more easily broken skin?

You will be fine. Holding pressure is the best hemostatic.

Your skin gets thinner in your later years and you bleed a lot just walking through the brush.
