"...I'm gonna fill your gap for you..." Too funny. But in all seriousness, good info! That looks to be a good, simple and easy to use bit of kit!!

[@scottacklin9782]

Thats what he said

Mike I'm a Retired Army Medic love your channel great content. Thank you for your knowledge.

[@SBRanger3]

Hey Mike, 911 EMT of almost 5 years and current paramedic student here. Just a quick note on applying the TQ: Pulling the red tab towards the midline of the body should be applied in situations where you are applying the TQ one-handed to your other upper extremity. In situations where you are applying the TQ to a lower extremity or to another patient and you have both hands to work with, pull the red tab away from the midline of the body. This gives you a couple advantages: 1. You give yourself room to work. By pulling away from the midline, you won't be pulling the TQ strap into the pelvic area and/or the person's other extremity, which will make it difficult to wrap around the limb. 2. Pulling away from the midline gives you more leverage to pull the TQ tighter before even turning the windlass. 3. If you tuck the remaining strap across the windlass to keep it from coming loose, pulling away from the midline means the red tab will end up facing the outside portion of the person's limb and will keep it out of the way from other work being done (wound packing, etc.) and mostly safe from accidentally being pulled and thus loosening the TQ. Obviously, this is all situation-dependent, sometimes you just have to work with what you got, but I thought I'd throw in my 2-cents lol love the channel, keep up the great work!

[@larrysmith2137]

Mike Great Job ! I teach STOP THE BLEED weekly you content spot on. I really like the visor idea. Need to order one.

[@fieldcraftsurvival]

Thanks brother that always means a lot coming from professionals in the space. Always check my classes for improvement... that’s how we will grow together.

[@kimberlyeve944]

Thank you Mike! I appreciate you and your tribe’s willingness to share your experience and knowledge! I need to get the basic bleeder kit ... I purchased the tourniquet... only feedback for you is to keep doing what you do! Thanks again!

[@thepowerbill1]

This is quickly becoming my favorite channel. Thanks guys! Charlie Mike!

[@TheShaveArcade]

Thank you Mike for all you do. I have never been in the military but my goal in life is to gain knowledge for myself and my family. Your content has aided me in moving forward to that goal. Thank you and thanks to your entire team.

[@ravenrising]

Loved my EMT and Wilderness medicine classes. Skills that keep you alive. 💯

[@aharris87]

Totally agree with the tourniquet stowing/staging. Keep it accessible and in whatever configuration you want, just know how to use it.

[@jcblackmon]

This was the best basic bleed control video I’ve seen! Good humor, excellent information! Thanks Mike & George!

[@nathan55000]

Hey Mike, I appreciate the video! I had the chance to apply my first tourniquet the other day real world. The 8 inch tail tip helped. Thanks again for all the education you put out as well as you’re service to our country.

[@nikkisims8656]

I really appreciate the time you guys take to put this info out there. Great advice. Thank you. 👍

[@Jabronis]

I love the terminology and humor Mike

[@Tree86]

Appreciate you, Mike and the rest of the FS team. Great info. Logical. Serious topic Presented in a humorous way.

[@collisioncourse4264]

I like your style Mike. Chilled but knowledgeable.

[@austinjbrown]

Incredible info and thanks for your service!

[@omai3m]

Another great video with valuable information. Here's Mike, filling the gap of knowledge again...

[@amyhunter6094]

Got Stop the Bleed training at work a few months ago from our local FD (maybe about the time of this video, but only just found you last week). The BHRK/CAT-T combo on the visor is a great combo to compliment that. Great teaching/explanation methods, love the snippets of humor added in - intentional or not. Thanks for all of it! You have one new loyal follower, and I think I'm about to have my brother - possibly my sister - added to the groups soon!

[@mattsandlin1229]

We have a SOCOM program through my work... special operaters with the military come work with us in Flint MI ... we talk about putting these on like you just did ... reminds me of talking to them ... good group of guys ! Nice video most people don’t talk about these things 🤙🏻💪🏼👊🏻🇺🇸

[@Mobilwash99]

Thanks Mike!! Awesome Information...

[@datatech2001]

That is a great concept Mike. I would have never thought to have that on the visor. That is fantastic.

[@billy-jadeachiu2296]

Great video and instruction being prepared is vital to survival thank you

[@AmericanJeeper]

Nice job on this. Thank you for spreading the word on preparedness!

[@fieldcraftsurvival]

Always!

[@hillbillynick2000]

Nice work! I've been in a few rollovers, nothing is where it was! I'll be picking up the visor kit for sure!

[@fieldcraftsurvival]

Nick, glad you made it out of them ok. Thanks as always for the support!

[@dougstanley7662]

Man your channel is rockin.I learn something new with almost every video.I really dont have the cash to take all of the courses as im on disability for a broken neck and being pre quadriplegic but im recovering very well and im up and walking just gotta take it slow these days.Anyway I try to learn what I can from these videos and several other resources so I do appreciate what you do here and also thank you for your service to this great country.

[@RodneyFisk]

I remember the olden days: Take off your belt, put a quarter twist and run the tip through the buckle, place it on the injured limb with tip toward the heart, put a stick into it, twist until bleeding stops, run tip around stick and tuck under. Write the letter T and the time applied, in blood, on the victim's forehead.

[@NinjaRN4731]

Excellent content. Thank you for posting.

[@tomgogal]

Great information and I enjoy purchasing the products so I can use them in my EDC/home set up.

[@nickfrancis7887]

Shean Ryan brought me to your channel. Great stuff broskis'

You’re awesome Mike. Never change brother. Thanks for the useful information. 🤙🏼👏🏼

[@ferdinandosmillo6330]

Awesome info. Mike..thank you..

[@macd557]

Thank you for this video. Really great information that’s really understandable. I spend a lot of my time traveling and working in some remote Bay Island’s of Honduras and medical care is never really close by. I’ll be watching this a few times and getting these kits to replace the ones I thought were adequate. Subscribed!

[@weaver3636]

Thanks for sharing Mike, this has been very informative.

[@bradenrobinson6564]

Great video! Enjoyed the tidbits of humor along with very informative information.

[@dennismedina8866]

Great video Mike. Keep them coming.

[@Dat808boii]

You forgot to say place the tourniquet above the wound. But good information! And thank you for you service in and out of the military

[@jasonsnyder4949]

Love your videos mike and thank you for your services

[@fieldcraftsurvival]

Jason thank you man-my pleasure to serve on both sides of the fence.

[@1986coldsteel]

Awesome video. Definitely took another look at how I have my med kits positioned in both my truck and wife’s car. Always put out good content. Keep it up. 🇺🇸

[@blueoutside3394]

Great video!!! Thanks M.G. I have the itwb tourniquet holder on my visor right now and have it on me every time I'm in the woods. Great product. Keep the videos and podcast rolling bug fan of both

[@caseymatika4440]

This is one bad ass man. Keep on, keeping on.

[@ACrawford36]

Thanks for another video. Glad to see yall are putting out more YT content. Just ordered your IWB TQ holster. Normally run the TQ in an ankle pouch but during some UC stuff its not always an option.

[@Guaporean]

Thank you sir!

[@brisonpalmer6730]

Awesome stuff guys hopefully I can get some of your training in the near future

[@bigtuna5334]

Keep these Great Videos coming!!!

[@carsonmeyer9404]

Love the video man! I’ve always wondered about applying pressure to a neck wound. I like the point you made about you’ll go faster with blood loss vs without oxygen. Good stuff 👍

[@amaterasu8829]

Just dont try to put a tourniquet around your neck man 🤣

[@rickcassell9613]

Great videos, keep them coming!👍👍👍

[@Dakof80]

awesome Mike keep the videos coming

[@davidrichardson4782]

Excellent video and instruction. I’m going to see if I’m off work so I can attend

[@tystavenau6789]

Great video Mike, I like the pouch and the concept. I will be adopting this in my 100 series Landcruiser and will use a M2 Ratcheting Tourniquet instead of the CAT Tourniquet. I feel it is a equivalent Tourniquet and can be easily self applied easily to arm and leg, there are other reasons I like it but will spare the notes here. My hemorrhagic package will include WoundClot vs Quick Clot as it does not have any long term effects (>8 hours) if left in the body.

[@zlm2032]

Good stuff Mike. 👍🏻

[@edwardsavje1476]

You can pack that with sugardine, beatadine and sugar along with gauze with the pressure bandage. This comes from Native Americans packing wounds with honey. I shoe horses for a living and we use it all the time. I have used it on my kids, dog and my self. You make a paste out of the beatadine and sugar.

[@lm-usmc]

Great vid Brother. Great tips and content.

[@MooreReviewz]

Your the man brother!

[@Latinos4Trump]

Thanks Mike, you da man.

[@alphabears6342]

I used to carry a stop the bleed kit and forgo a simple first aid kit. But in my area of work and play, boo boos are more prominent than a bleed. So I carry a trauma kit but I also carry a simple first aid kit. Also, as a person that suffers from headaches and chronic migraines, I need headache and migraines pills. Those, benadryls and some natural remedy such as maca root, white willow, and kratom are part of my kit.

[@nicksignorelli5814]

Great info Mike. Thank you

[@j.r.777]

Thank you for the video. I learned some valuable info from it!

[@dtcepl]

Awesome advices, thanks Bro!

[@robwoodward4084]

good stuff Mike

[@renrakudo]

Thank you for the information. Very good video.

[@bryanfloyd8927]

Great video! Thanks for this!

[@bunzoreviews8049]

Can’t wait to take the overland basics and stop the bleed class this Friday.

[@fieldcraftsurvival]

See you this Friday!

[@robm.6400]

Thanks mike !! Great kit !

[@fieldcraftsurvival]

Anytime brother and thank you!

[@mattt9318]

Mike love the videos! Would you make a video on basics of toddler or child trauma treatment and any special considerations that brings? Also a video on CPR basics would be great!

[@thewordman6013]

Thanks Mike!! A lot of people don't realize how quickly, even the basics can save a life. How many basic infantry men were taught the basics and of those, how many lives were possibly saved?! Just something to think about.

[@peteperkins3859]

Great content. Keep it up.

[@eddyram4072]

Good info I have don't TCCC I highly recommend it brother.

[@Chris.Plunkett]

I really enjoy your valuable channel.

[@snicklefritzd3612]

Good, down to earth content

[@carlosfernandez1]

Very important video. This is a must and the most neglected aspect in our daily life. Not to long ago someone shoot himself in a leg while shopping at a mayor store. Because no one has a tourniquet this person die waiting for the ambulance. Is good to have a tourniquet on your self as an EDC. Specially if you carry a gun. Thanks for sharing. PS. Even if you don't carry a gun.

[@fieldcraftsurvival]

Dang Carlos, that’s unfortunate and you are absolutely right. So neglected and so undertrained... thanks for tuning in.

[@Airfreek101]

BAM! Great video man.

[@N0B0DY_SP3C14L]

Solid. Period.

[@crowmancaveman2gen-xer280]

Best wishes to you mr glover

[@mstott22lax]

Great stuff. Another consideration is to apply the tq with the windlass on the inside of the limb (close to torso/crotch) to further minimize the risk of it being bumped loose during cas movement. PMARCHP is current algo, with P being patient safety(if applicable)

[@chelo671]

Great information! Thanks!

[@robinphillips8299]

Thanks Mike. Going to go adjust some trauma gear in my ride now.......... Keep it coming

[@chrishart3090]

Great content bro! Keep it going S.A.S.A!

[@dusty7264]

Great video ,makes sense I'm ordering one plus a second,for a friend

[@sidroniorodriguez3540]

Great videos Mike. New sub and been watching every video as well as pod cast. Very informative. I am planning to have first aid or some type of IFAK in my vehicles.

[@Turtl-ss4lj]

So glad you hooked up with LLOD so I could find your channel! I’m functional with weapons. Although, there’s always room for improvement. Especially need to work on long range. However, survival and medical are definitely my weak points that I’ve been working on lately. Money is the biggest factor. Your content is awesome, and you explain everything well. Would love to take a class eventually. Thanks!

[@lennox283329]

[@johnl.38]

Just dropping the hospital/operation perspective of things: in the event of a limb bleed, if a pressure dressing can stop the bleed instead of a tourniquet, then a pressure dressing may be preferred as we really try to restrict tourniquet times to 2-2.5 hrs max including intra-operative tourniquet use during repair to prevent the risks of tissue death, nerve damage, and total limb loss. Like you mentioned, people can do OK with times greater than that but there's serious increase of the risk of permanent limb damage. If you need a tourniquet though, obviously use it- better to have a bum leg and be alive than be whole and dead.

[@MiClLC]

Just discovered your channel and I'm diggin it. Liked, commented, subscribed.

[@billythekid7413]

Great Video Mike, thank you! Would love to do a course with you one day.

[@klajoye481]

Love the videos!!! 🤙🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@joekeller4155]

Great stuff!

[@Corea1986]

Educational as always! Love to train with you one day!

[@fieldcraftsurvival]

Thanks Robin!

[@nickvale9852]

Mike, First, thank you for putting out thought provoking, informative material. I've learned a ton since discovering your channel and hope you continue to put out this high-tier content. Have you tested your hook/loop visor attachment point in simulated hard braking/roll-over? Having been in an 80+mph roll over (seat belts save lives, kids), I can confidently say that almost nothing was found where it was prior to the roll. I had an IFAK in the locked center console and a holstered handgun at appendix (shameless plug for Odin holsters). Those were the ONLY two essentials still stowed where I needed them to be. My self-extrication tool, gloves, tool kit, glove box contents, etc. all disappeared. Definitely made me re-think my cab organization.

[@ryanclose31]

Great content

[@FishHuntFreedom]

Awesome video. Got my sub

[@johnchaffin5494]

Good stuff, I had a car hauler fall on my leg and used my belt for a tourniquet and when I got to the nearest hospital the doc says you shouldnt have done that you could have lost the limb. I said it wouldn't matter if I bled to death before getting there...lol

[@ZachPerryCPA]

Man, great content! So happy I found y'all's channel! With the content quality of your videos and the overall production value, this could easily be an outdoors cable network show. Please don't pitch this to some dumb network though. :)

[@LA_Viking]

I am not a combat medic and don't purport to be one. However I have a tremendous amount of medical training and experience particularly in austere medicine and even managed to get a graduate degree in Epidemiology and Community Health.This is a well done video and is quite effective in emphasizing: 1. Just how fast you can start your eternal dirt nap from bleeding out. 2. Just how important a tourniquet ("TQ") can be. In the 1980's during my off time from my bomb squad duties I was an American National Red Cross First Aid (and CPR) instructor. I wish I could show everyone how much attitudes towards TQ's from the established medical community have changed. In summary: If you are the average John or Jane Doe, have a TQ readily accessible in your home or automobile. This video illustrates this very well. The key phrase "readily available" might mean you need more than one placed in strategic locations. If you are a gun totin' civilian, have one on your person and another readily accessible such as in your automobile. Some TQ designs can be awkward to conceal so choose accordingly. Other designs such as the SWAT-T (no financial affiliation) can be simple to conceal. If you are law enforcement have a TQ on your person and a few more in your unit. There is a plethora of TQ holders designed to hang on your duty rig and finding the right one will not be a challenge. If you are military and/or in a combat zone carry a TQ on your person. Depending upon your duties it might be necessary in some instances to carry it concealed. The following statement might elicit a few laughs from the intellectually challenged but this also applies to Navy guys and gals aboard ship or Air Force nose pickers sitting on the ramp waiting to fuel a helo. A mortar shell or IED doesn't know you're rear echelon. If everyone carries a TQ there should be enough locally to handle multiple casualties or casualties with multiple wounds. If your military job is to ballistically reform bad guys (and girls) carry two TQ's on your person. This also applies to law enforcement SWAT or tactical unit operators. If you are Spec Ops and you're going out to Ninja your way into the party, carry four TQ's on your person. The rationale here is that such units are typically small so there will be a limited number of TQ's available. This is especially true if you have sniper and/or recon duties or are in a situation where you operate alone or with one other operator. Be aware that one size doesn't necessarily fit all. If you are a teen or adolescent or are responsible for same or if you are genetically underweight or just went through SERE school or if you are a large land mammal or buffet slayer plan accordingly. Some manufacturers do offer models to fit atypically sized individuals and it may even be necessary to improvise in certain situations. There is nothing wrong with improvisation-manufactured TQ's are definitely newcomers to the medical device landscape. Just Improvise ahead of time if at all possible. And don't forget a few for the dog!
