 Why do I carry a tourniquet? If you see me walking around any given day, I have a tourniquet on me. I guarantee you. Why? Not because I'm paranoid, because I know that stuff happens. And it might be a gunshot, but it might be a car wreck, it might be a chainsaw, it might be an axe, it might be a knife. I don't know what it's going to be. But I do know that with a tourniquet, it's possible to save somebody's life. And there are situations where if you don't have it, you can't.
