[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 660207, member: 30902"] A note here on tourniquets. If you are not within an hour of medical professionals one should always keep in mind that using a tourniquet will have a high likelihood of costing you or the person you use it on the limb it is attached to. If you do not know for sure you are within an hour of higher level care personnel it's much better to just make a pressure bandage of some sort than to take such a risk unless you are trying to stop the bleeding of a traumatic amputation. You are sure right about using the powder though, if you get it in your eyes it can do serious damage. For penetrating wounds a woman's tampon can work wonders, and for pressure bandages a Kotex can literally be a life saver. Having a couple of each in your field emergency/first aid kit is a pretty good idea if you don't have access to prepackaged pressure bandages. [/QUOTE]
