I'm enjoying this thread. I hate to say it but I've been thinking about getting or putting together a small med kit to keep in my hunting pack in case of emergencies, but never acted on it. Not sure what I would need or if a tourniquet is a necessity, but reading through these posts seems like I should at least consider one. I normally bowhunt but sometimes gun hunt, and am anywhere from 1/2 mile to 1.5 miles away from the road on public land in most cases. I'm sure things can go awry in a hurry unfortunately and I need to quit waiting and just get one. Any recommendations for what I'm looking for and if I should get a tourniquet as well?

A tourniquet should be the first thing you get. CAT or SOFTT-W are the two most popular and generally considered the best. After that, look for a trauma kit that is small enough that you will carry it. If it's back at camp it doesn't matter how good it is. Lots of people like the Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit NOW!
