wth dude, where's the tourniquet??

@ai6yr @ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite

depends on how stretchy the tubes are.
you may be twisting until your face turns blue before you stop the blood flow.

@MsMerope @ai6yr @ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite if you have a handkerchief/cloth strip & you have a long thin object like a pen you can improvise a tourniquet by tying one lace somewhat loose upstream of the bleeding & then using the pen to spin in a small loop in the cloth until it is tight enough to limit bloodflow, which is REALLY tight. It will of course come loose if you let it go so it needs to be either held in place by hand or fastened with the second cloth.

Edited for bad info.

@MsMerope @ai6yr @ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite A tourniquet should only be used if losing the limb entirely is acceptable, such as an egregious wound that has caused life-threatening bleeding, & it can be very hard to get the tightness needed to cut off this severity of bleeding without this setup. Seriously, it needs to be FUCKING TIGHT & is incredibly painful, but can save lives.

Of course if you just need a tourniquet for injections this isn't an issue, but i assumed street medic stuff.
