I have a number of these bandages, including in my EDC sling bag. I think it is a very useful bandage.

I carry Israeli bandages and tourniquets in the car and in my carry on luggage when flying.
In the past, I have given relatives flashlights and pocket knives to keep in their cars. Last night I realized that three of them had been in traffic accidents within the last year. So, I ordered Israeli bandages so I can give one per car.
Why do I carry them when flying? Easy. Have been on an international flight with a medical emergency declared for a passenger. Unrelated, but important. In the Beijing, there isn't an EMT type service. Had a fellow traveler keel over and stop breathing. Only 2 of us knew CPR. It took 7 minutes, but we got him breathing again (probably with brain damage).

I just did (worked) a 5K "adventure race and shoot". Everybody working or competing were required to have a FAC with a tourniquet and IB. There were over 100 people competing, no medical emergencies.

Ever year we try to come up with a theme at Christmas for the nieces and nephews for the gifts. This last year, we bought them all smoke and carbon detectors, fire extinguishers, and emergency lights. IN the past we have done survival kits and home first aid kits.
I may steal your idea and use the car theme for this Christmas and get them supplies for their vehicles.
