>Tourniquet stored in a dedicated IFAK away from damage, sweat, chemicals etc. etc
>Tourniquet attached to pants and subject to beatings all day every day
>Potentially life saving device that works by withstanding large amounts of force being exerted on it

Having an annoying piece of plastic rubbing into your flesh every second of every day for the absolutely infinitesimal chance of getting a limb blown off.

Yeah, that's an idiotic idea. Also, tourniquet s are routinely replaced with brand new ones to ensure they are as strong as they need to be to not break in a life and death situation. Having a tourniquet in a pocket would be roughly 500 times better than this turbo autistic operator fantasy of a uniform.

Also, if it's in a pocket you can GASP use it on another body part.

Yes, but you've got two on each of your arms and legs - why would you need to use a tourniquet in another part of your body if you've got one there already, just waiting to be tightened?

google how to tourniquet, dumbass

A combat cut of these was issued to me some time ago and almost immediately we were told to stop using them. I got rid of the whole mallninja tourniquets and use them as normal pants as their pockets placement and cut is breddy gud.

just fucking use a belt

doesn't actually work friendo

do you have a source to back up your claim that cinching a belt tightly around your leg doesn't restrict bloodflow? because in doing so you would pretty much be saying that ALL tourniquets didn't work.

I feel like Blackhawk is still living in the 90's, and hasn't come up with anything useful in a while
