never used an aortic / abdo tourniquet myself, happy to say. (-: Yes interesting to see how they take off. I can see them becoming standard kit a lot of places, including police AOS.

An itch ... is ... a desire to scratch

a quote from it:
“In addition, the Air Force group looked specifically at traumatic cardiac arrest,” Dr. Croushorn said. “They found that AAJT application and blood transfusion led to 83% survival compared to 17% survival with blood and CPR alone.” (Military Medicine, Volume 182, September 2017)
“For years we taught medics that if a patient is in cardiac arrest from bleeding out, there is no reason to do CPR,” he said. “Now, with the AAJT, we can actually save most of these people, and that’s because of the REBOA effect of this device.”

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
Super glue. Electrical/ duct tape and gladwrap. A few smallish gauze pads. If I can't get it done with that and walk out under own steam then it is gonna be a helicopter ride.
I was guilty of carrying Army medic size/style kits until I realized if its that bad you need all that stuff you are going to need evac anyway.
But if you want to carry that sort of kit....I will never think less of you.
I should add if it wasn't cost prohibitive I would like to also carry an Epipen. Not for myself but in case I came across someone who needs one. Fucken criminal what they cost vs shelf life though.
Not for everyone i agree but if your into it get one of these, available from chemist.

Re epipens : As i understand it ACC will replace a pen if it is used, but not if it expires

Wouldn't use a tampon again. Surgeons later said it was harder to get fine fibres out of wound than it was to deal with initial damage. At the time it was the only thing available.
