If you don’t have Quick-clot or Celox to staunch a non-arterial bleed, pack as much sugar as you have into the wound and hit it with a pressure bandage. It works......saw it on an episode of Burn Notice (then confirmed by an Army medic).

Honey has been used as an anti-bacterial for bandaging wounds since ancient times.

Horsemen have used sugar to pack wounds for years. We also mix sugar and iodine to pack in hooves that have infections.
