Do you have a tourniquet in you car and range bag?

[pga43]

I have one in my range bag for the pistol range, my range bag for the rifle range and one in my car, along with a full on crisis medical bag that's in the car. Have taken a few 1st aid classes specifically for shooting injuries/wounds but really need to continue that type of training.

Something to think about....

Had a co worker get cut up while at work.

We are issued one of those band style tourniquets in the sealed envelope - Swat-t.

He let it be known that due to the amount of blood he was covered with he couldnt get the package open to self aid with the Swat-t.

Thinking about that unsure how good it would have been for him trying to stretch slippery rubber with that much blood.

Luckily he had someone else close by that gave him aid and he is fine.

I have one of these in my first aid kit and I think I may need one or two more stashed nearby....

Super easy one hand application.

Anyone know of any issues with this gear?
