Hey Facebook. I had a friend ask about a previous post and I wanted to provide more information for those who haven't seen this before.
These photos are of a RATS tourniquet from RATS Tourniquet LLC with a Tier 1 Concealed holder. The holder is no longer offered, but there are plenty of other options out there, and I still stand by Tier 1's quality holsters.
The tourniquet is one of the most adaptable that I have seen. You can Google plenty of YouTube videos on how to use it so I won't bore you with the application. This tourniquet is light, easy to carry, and will work for a 300lb man as easy as a 40lb toddler. The tourniquet is also useful for animals, which other tourniquets are not as easy to use.
As with any piece of gear, you need to practice with the tourniquet to ensure you are capable of using it in a stressful situation. I recommend purchasing two. One you can use to practice and train with, the other you carry. The reason for this is using a tourniquet for practice puts wear and tear on it, possibly causing a failure when you need it in a real emergency.
