You can bleed to death from simple accidents around the house. Buy some CAT tourniquets from North American Rescue (they have an Amazon store, anyone else on Amazon should be avoided since they are likely knock offs). Have them along with some wound packing gauze around the house/car and learn how to use them. Find a stop the bleed class and go with some friends. Glad you’re still with us @mcshane !!! Prayers for a solid recovery and getting back to your adventures.

I have tourniquets in every vehicle where they are easy to reach. It's hard to always have medical kits available for every situation. Sometimes you will just have to improvise unless you go out dressed like an EMT or combat marine everyday.
