Alright call me a noob or squirrel or whatever makes you happy but I have a question.
I'm working on a very small IFAK for my EDC. I want it small enough to fit in a cargo pocket. I watched a training video where they discussed during an active shooter event, if you or family/friend get shot that you could very well bleed out before the scene is declared safe by LEOs and EMS can enter. So therefore I want a small kit to stop bleeding.
Unfortunately a Combat tourniquet is big and bulky, so do you think a IV tourniquet (like we use when starting IVs) would control bleeding for at least a little while? I know it would hurt like a mother because it's not very wide but it beats dying.
Of course it's gonna have some 4x4s and other random blood stoppers but give me ideas if you got them.
