I carry a tourniquet daily for work just in case I cut an artery with my chainsaw, but it's for someone else for use on me.
Anyway, in my /out/ first aid kit:
>plaster strip, more versatile than individual plasters>antiseptic cream>vaseline tin, useful for lips in cold weather, sealing minor wounds, managing chafing, and preventing corrosion on chinesium electrical components>400 mg ibuprofen (it's anti-inflammatory so it's better than paracetamol/acetaminophen) >loperamide, just in case I drink some funky water. Never needed it but I'd rather have it anyway.>allergy pills, non-drowsy>suture strips just in case I accidentally slash my hand open again>tweezers>nail scissors, for trimming nails, hangnails, and cutting the plaster stripFor work, the same plus:
>tourniquet>three israeli bandages (three is the minimum to deal with a common impaling wound), these are simply the best available bandage on the market. Trust the Jews when it comes to this anons, they've spent the last 70 years getting shot at in Gaza so they know how to make a decent bandage>haemostatic dressings (always take an allergy pill if you're using one either on yourself or somebody else, they're very irritating to your mucosal tissues and can trigger anaphylaxis)
