[QUOTE="Norman, post: 2533829, member: 4232"] I finally got my other pouch for my backpack. I was able to stuff a few 4x4's, the extra bandages from the bottom external pocket, a sam splint, Ace wrap and kerlix into the new pouch. The bottom external pocket is now only of vascular access kit and IV fluids. Top external pocket added another King airway and some oral airways, and is my Pocket BVM/ airway spot. Surveyor, I see where you are coming from. I agree tourniquets aren't a bad thing, but they aren't a fix all. Many times, in the cities/suburbs, bleeds can be treated with other means. I've seen a .357 mag point blank wound to the calf. It entered the calf and exited the shin taking a decent amount of meat with it. The leg was bleeding, but was successfully treated with 4x4's and cling/kerlix. There was no tourniquet or packing to the bone. My point in this is tourniquets have their place, and can be applied liberally. They are not the cure all. I would generally agree it is better to use it if in doubt. [/QUOTE]
