North American Rescue C-A-T

It's with a med kit that's in my sling pack.

[CouchOperator]

Is your sling pack with you everywhere? Thats the direction id like this thread to go; relating only to EDC and not bug out, car bags, etc.

[Calico1404]

No I don't, TQ and med kit in the car. Not a bad idea though, it would save me bleeding out on the way to my gear right !

[Sapperforward]

One in the car bag. I don't carry one.

I wear a belt.

[Bansh88]

I keep one in my bag. Not on me. I guess there's a point of how much shet is too much.

Already have knife, leatherman, flashlight, wallet, watch. Tourniquet isn't exactly small. I just assume keep Quikclot and gauze over a tourniquet. Likely more useful.

[baih777]

Yes, my belt. But i also keep a 25 yds of 1/8 inch rope in each vehicle.

[CMBrowning]

I should but yet to.

SWAT-T for carry.

Easy to fit comfortably in my pockets and one hand deployable.

It does other things too.

Nope, unless belt works then yes.

I carry too much crap as it is.

[wild_weasel]

I'm a civilian contractor in Afghanistan, I carry an IFAK with two CAT tourniquets.

[Dutch3]

Yes.
Just because.

I have multiple. A couple of C A T in the car bags and a SWAT-T in the pack that is always with me at work. (i.e., it is where I carry my laptop). The pack is always in my office when I am there, and I take it with me if I go to a different site.

I carry additional medical in that bag as well. Celox, combat gauze, compressed gauze, israeli-type bandage, SAM splint w/wrap, 4x4s, bandaids, OTC meds, etc.

I also have an M9 medical bag with more of a full loadout that I throw in the car if going on a trip or to the range.

I don't carry anything on my person except my keys, a folding utility knife and my phone. 90% of the time I am working in my office or a nearby classroom. Small campus.

Rachet straps, and a belt...

[Lonestargrizzly]

I carry a tourniquet, 2 quick clots, gauze, medical tape, scissors, 3 pairs of rubber medical gloves, and band-aids for minor boo boos.
Also a space blanket that's in a tine little 2 inch by three inch box. Was told that if I was killed, they could cover me with it.

I carry all this in an admin pouch I turned into an IFAK which is mounted to my backpack that I take everywhere.
