If you had a serious wound such as a cut or stab no doctor around and as we always carry. Would you remove some powder from some cartridges and cauterize the wound?

Why not?

Nope. Not sure smokeless would work. Blackpowder maybe. Much better ways to stop bleeding. Arterial bleed and was by myself and couldn't any other way. I'd get my knife red hot and stick it to it. I'm rarely with out quick clot these days.

Explain quick clot for those of us not familiar. I know I’ve heard of it. Can I get it without a dr? Sounds like it needs to be in a bug out bag.

Beer belly is the quick clot expert.

Don't try to use smokeless to cauterize.

There are several different products. I think I have bought at least 1 each of every one out there. Quick clot was developed for the military to quickly stop bleeding. Any body can buy it. I keep some in my hunting pack and my shooting bag. I have FAK's stashed at work and home. I don't leave that stuff in the truck in summer because of the heat. I keep an EDC kit close but I do forget to slip it in a pocket at times. But you never know when you might need it. I've used it on me twice. On others maybe 10 times.

No and I wouldn’t try to cut an x and suck the venom out from a snake bite either. I’d probably just get swallowed up by quick sand.

Thats how i fix all my wounds. I thought everybody did that.

I’m old enough that they taught the sucking out the venom in Cub Scouts. We all just told each other not to get snakebit and count on us for help. Back then I usually had a busted lip from playground tackle football so I was ineligible to be the bloodsucker anyways.
I would probably be wise to get some quick clot and put in my backpack.

Reminds of an old joke when I was a kid:

Lone Ranger and Tonto out in the wilderness. Lone Ranger gets bitten by rattlesnake on privates while peeing.
Tonto rides back to town to get help.
Doctor tells Tonto to cut an X on bite and suck poison out.
Tonto goes back to Lone Ranger and when Lone Ranger asks what doctor said, Tonto tells him "Doctor says you gonna die"

You mean, add 3rd degree burn, with its separate potential for introducing infection, to your list of wounds?
Um, no.

Nothing like a good laugh as the sun rises... Thanks!

Cant believe nobody keeps a surgical staple gun with them

With all the blood thinners I'm on and as hard ony body as I am, I keep a vial of quick clot on me at all times. Use it at least every other week or so. I'm not going the burn route.

Tampon and super glue. Gunpowder, hot knife, etc

i was in a cave in Afghanistan one time and had taken a round through the kidney. I cycled a round out of a battle field pick up AK and used the powder to cauterize it. I was good as new and back in the fight.
