I am so glad that I have this vital piece of life saving equipment! Now.. I just need to watch some instructional videos online to learn how to use it and to make sure that I am using it correctly! Do NOT wait until you are shot and bleeding out.. to try to figure out how to use a Tourniquet for the very first time properly! It is better to have this and NOT need it.. than to need this and NOT have it! Get one.. or two.. add one to your med kit.. throw one in your backpack or bug out bag.. and have that piece of mind knowing that you are now much more prepared for any unexpected emergencies than you were before you got one!
