They are not very common in First Aid Kits, so this is why I'm wondering if they have proven themselves to be useful in the field.

I would use them as means to control heavy bleeding from gunshots or stab wounds.

Thanks for taking time to share all that info. Getting them into the emergency room ASAP is definitely major part of the plan. I might end up getting some Celox just to keep it handy in case of veinous bleed that could get out of control, but I will likely avoid using it on abdomen in case of deep wounds.

How badly does it burn? Asking for a friend. That I will use it on in case he gets a minor cut,

I have most other stuff you mentioned, but you basically need to have EMT training if you want to be able to get your hands on Naloxone and EPI pen without prescription where I am.

It burns, I don't think it's that bad but others have told me it was worse than they expected. It's good stuff for heavy veinous bleeding for sure but for minor cuts direct pressure usually does the trick. Do not use is on abdominal wounds that go all the way through the skin. You don't want that shit in the abdominal cavity. Super glue is also handy in your kit. I have put together plenty of cuts with that shit (also not good for abdominal wounds). Naloxone should be handed out for free, fucking junkies everywhere and even innocent people coming into contact with nasty shit inadvertently.
