Who here carries a Tourniquet?

[TxStetson]

Duh...

The whole "who carries..." made me assume we were talking about ACTUALLY carrying one. Not, "oh, I maybe have one in my car, let me run back and get it"...

Hey now! You need to stop trying to use common sense and facts when having these rodiculous internet arguments. It makes you look silly.

MmmHmmm.....and lets leave it at that.

I work in the medical field and have carried one in my vehicle since I graduated. IMO They are one of those things that are so light and compact there's no reason NOT to have one. Sure a belt will work in a pinch, but to really crank down on a deep bleed a purpose built tourniquet is the best choice. Plus they are only ~$10-20!

The good ones are a bit more than that.

TQ's are small, easy to have around, and they're very easy to use once you've been shown the relatively simple steps for usage.

Got to use my TQ at work last night.

A little drinking and a soapy watermelon with a sharp knife added up to a DEEP cut to the distal forearm that severed an artery. It took way more force to tighten the windless to make it stop bleeding than I had used in training. If you think you can just take off your belt and find something to tighten up the belt you got another thing coming...

I have a TQ on my belt and often another in my pocket at work. Kinda like a gun, when you need it, you need it now and nothing else will really do the job.

"Soapy watermelon"

 

[BRD@66]

I think that soapy watermelons ought to be required to take & pass a "Totin' Chip" class before they're allowed to carry a knife.

All you get is unclean Cantaloupes from now on.

Hate when big melons get soapy.

Rinse em off....

 

[SQLGeek]

Kinda hard to do with a knife in your hand evidently.

That, in and of itself ain't so bad. Havin a tough time figuring in the sharp knife myself. Unless that's a metaphor.
Deep cut and whatnot.....

 

[Mohawk600]

Melons only get "soapy" for one reason............and it isn't PG rated.

What kind of job lets you drink & features watermelon slicing?

 

[Medic218]

I own a couple but haven't decided how to implement them in daily carry just yet.
I carry a small tacti-cool sling pack for work every day and I've thought about finding a MOLLE holster to slap on there. Just haven't yet.

Not sure but if you find out let me know!
