treatment before
Exactly. Here's the biggie. Bleeding kills. Bleeding kills quick and it's permanent. It will kill you before an ambulance can arrive and you ain't coming back once you bleed out. You can come back from a cardiac issue or not breathing but once you run out of blood you are done. So...
For trauma, GSW and tree stand falls included, control the bleeding FIRST and let the pros handle the other stuff once they arrive. If someone breaks a leg or injured their back in a fall, they aren't going to die from that. But you may hurt them by moving them. Keep them warm and let the pros come package and move them. For a GSW, control the bleeding and take them to the hospital in the fastest way possible.
Tourniquets, pressure dressings, QuikClot Combat Gauze, lots and lots of gauze. All important but only and paired with enough training to know how to use them. You don't need EMT school. You can learn this in one 8 hour class.

What that guy said…. a tourniquet will absolutely save yours or someone else’s life, I keep at least one accessible at home and in my vehicles. Yes, your belt, your knee and a multitude of other things will work in a pinch, i’d rather have the tourniquet accessible.

Would you speak to the idea of a tampon being useful in a GSW or severe bleed?
