Everyone should know how to do this, guns or not. First aid is important. There are allegedly something like 30k serious chainsaw injuries each year, plus all the other serious injuries you get in trades, warehouses, shops, and so forth.
Sure, but something tells me the average non-american living in a non-warzone will ever need a CAT tourniquet in their lifetime
Most people will never use CPR, a heimlich, defibrillator, narcan or CAT. However, successful use of any of these will safe a life. Everyone should know how to use those things.
We got discouraged from doing the heimlich at our first aid training and got taught a different thing that I have forgotten
I need to throw some more supplies in my bleed stop kits. I have the basics for big stuff, but should add some closures/zip stitches for bad cuts and lacerations.
Word. My med kits are all built around serious bleeds - tourniquet, icb, clotting sponge, then work downwards in order of lethality. Which is great in an emergency, but frustrating when i realize i forgot to add basic bandaids again.
