Re: Stop the Bleed
If you've had the same kit for a number of years, good idea to check expiration dates on some supplies like the clotting agents. If you've still got the powder form, it's long expired.
Some of the other materials only expire because they can't guarantee they're still sterile (but I'm sure work just fine).

Going to a class this weekend in Plano.
Gun control is like stopping drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to drive.

Re: Stop the Bleed
kinda late to the convo, but i've been looking for a tq for about a month now. i see a lot of reviews on a lot of different brands that say they dont have enough length to them to apply to a larger limb (like a thigh or a fat persons upper arm) would the SOFTT-W gen4 accommodate a "huskier" person?

The CAT or SOFT style will do the job, more than enough length.Grundy1133 wrote:kinda late to the convo, but i've been looking for a tq for about a month now. i see a lot of reviews on a lot of different brands that say they dont have enough length to them to apply to a larger limb (like a thigh or a fat persons upper arm) would the SOFTT-W gen4 accommodate a "huskier" person?

There are many cheap fakes on Amazon. Go to a reputable medical device dealer and expect pay about $30 for a good tourniquet.

This is what I carry in my range bag along with a trauma pak and Israeli bandage.

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Re: Stop the Bleed
I'm registered for the Ft. Worth course this Saturday. I've had a full day class with this instructor before and view this as a brush-up on what he taught then.
