    A tourniquet might be a good idea to have, but you shouldn’t use it without training. It could be a good thing to have to hand to someone with training if it were needed, but that will only be useful in places with lots of people, like a protest or something. For your home first aid kit, maybe skip it.

        That’s good. Most people aren’t in that situation though, so giving general advice to have a tourniquet could cause harm I just wanted to try to make sure it doesn’t.
