There's a spot on the CATs for writing the time. Should probably put a pencil in the pouch too. Still protocol to not take the tourniquet off? I was always told never take it off, that's the doctor's job. Was hoping NoBivy would chime in here. Suction is a lifesaver, especially for face trauma...

My pouch came built into the ditty bag. Just the tourniquet in it.

Yea that shit blows all over. Saw a dumb ole jarhead put some on a shaving cut. Used it on a dog that got caught up in some concertina wire too.

I had to go read up a bit. QuickClot has changed since I last used it and I guess it doesn't cause burns like it used to.

I'd recommend any chainsaw operator whether logger, arborist, or Joe Homeowner to keep a CAT tourniquet. They're cheap on Amazon and can probably be found at a drug store. They don't need to be sterile, so take it out of the package and play with it. You should be able to put it on your own...

I carry a CAT tourniquet on my saddle. Israeli bandages are junk. Quick Clot causes necrosis and chemical burns. It's a lifesaver for sure but don't use it for anything but arterial bleeding that can't be controlled with pressure. Pressure first, everytime. Even if it's just with a bare hand.
