A nice first aid kit with tourniquet. That thing saves some serious lives.
A tourniquet might be a good idea to have, but you shouldn’t use it without training. It could be a good thing to have to hand to someone with training if it were needed, but that will only be useful in places with lots of people, like a protest or something. For your home first aid kit, maybe skip it.
I was in the military as are most of the man in my country. I can trust that not only I can use it usefully I can also trust that in the extreme case of me being seriously injured and someone find my tourniquet, I am in trained hands.
That’s good. Most people aren’t in that situation though, so giving general advice to have a tourniquet could cause harm I just wanted to try to make sure it doesn’t.
