“Just wanted to reach out and let you know a NAR CAT saved my life on Saturday. Made a super dumb mistake while racking a 43x and shot a round straight into my femoral artery and out the back of my leg. Would’ve bled out if I didn’t have a TQ in my car. Not sure where that TQ went at the hospital, but it saved me! Just wanted to let you guys know that the stuff you are making is doing the job day in and day out.”
One distracted moment is all it takes. Any tool can cause injury — fi****ms just raise the stakes.
We’re grateful our new friend had a tourniquet within reach and the mindset to use it quickly. That preparation made a difference, and we’re thankful they’re on the road to recovery ❤️🩹
If you choose to carry a firearm as part of your EDC — or simply keep fi****ms in your home — then carrying the skills, training, and equipment to treat a GSW should be part of that responsibility too.
A tourniquet in the kit means nothing if you don’t know how to use it when seconds count. Be prepared. Save a life!
