If you have a gun (or more than one) and not a FAK and Fire Extinguisher you're an asshole that wants to kill people and not someone who is prepared.
Have a buddy with a stop watch time you going from wearing the belt to when he cannot feel a radial pulse on your own arm and time you a second time again for a popiliteal pulse (behind your knee).I wear a belt every day so I've always got a tourniquet with me
No, no youre not. Youre carrying a crescent wrench when you need a hammerIf you wear a belt you are carrying one. Reason I know, lost my right hand in a farm accident in a remote area in South Texas. Traumatic amputation in the field. Hour and a half ride to the nearest hospital. My brother used his belt to stop the bleeding...that was 40 years ago.

"Brother helped" are the key words here. That's about as smart as relying on EMS or police, or a good Samaritan passing by. Handy when it happens, but you shouldn't rely on it.
Your IFAK should be set up so you can fix you by yourself
An actual TQ can be used one-handed for self rescue. Planning on having someone else to there to have free hands to help is piss poor planning. In a traumatic car crash, you may be alone, or people may be trying to rescue others. In a combat event, you again could be alone or anyone around might be preoccupied with shooting back at the bad guy while you are left to fix yourself
Willful ignorance is no excuse to plan poorly.

So, are you saying that we should have 5 TQs already loosely in place - one at each mid-thigh, one at each elbow, & a bandana around the neck -ready to tighten? And if not, then we should just stand around with our feet shoulder-width apart to make it easier to bend over & kiss our ass goodbye if we should bleed?No, no youre not.

Report your times back for us.
On a larger bleed you will pass out before you get it stopped, if you can even stop it. if you're alone, that means you're dead.
You are wearing a Crescent wrench around your waist and you need a hammer. Sure, you can hit something with a Crescent wrench, but it will never be a hammer.
Seriously, go time yourself from wearing your belt to the cessation of perfusion and see if it really works. Remember to not use your injured arm... and that you may need to use your uninjured arm/hand again. (You get shot, stop the bleed, and get back in the fight, or to rescue another passenger in a vehicle etc)
