The night night method involves a ratchet strap and cornbags, but I was wondering if I could use an actual tourniquet instead of a ratchet strap?
Here's the tourniquet, for reference: Amazon product ASIN B089T5C4SF
What would be the difference between using a ratchet strap and a tourniquet?
I've also heard of people using long, elastic leggings for this. Thoughts on that too?
Guess I just realised posting Amazon links doesn't work here. But the name of the tourniquet is: Tourniquet, 1 Pack - The Fastest, Safest, Most Effective Combat Hemostatic Control Single-Handed Application for Military Tactical First Aid Medical Battle Tourniquets
And if anyone reads this and is unfamiliar with the methods I'm talking about — the idea is to use something like the strap/tourniquet to compress the carotid arteries. Ideally, you wouldn't have to compress the windpipe, and you'd lose consciousness within seconds without too much discomfort.
