“I carry a CAT tourniquet and paid only $20 for three of them. I also carry a bleed stop or blood clotting in the event of a cut that you cannot place a tourniquet on.”
There is a high likelihood you purchased counterfeit tourniquets. They go for $25-30 each. I never recommend my students purchase from anywhere except medical supply sites such as narescue.com. Never Amazon. It’s not something I want to find out is fake when I’m applying it.
We keep 1-2 in each vehicle & even a couple in the house.
I've started carrying the Snakestaff System ETQ (everyday carry tourniquet). I like the size/weight of it & materials appear to be top quality. This will likely be what I carry on hunts moving forward.
