Duration: 4:46

This Tactical Tuesday video features Adam Lambert from ACT Gun Training, in collaboration with the USCCA, demonstrating how to properly apply a Soft T Tourniquet to save lives from major blood loss, a common cause of death in combat or gunfights. The tutorial covers checking equipment, preparing the tourniquet for self-application, correct placement (at least 4 inches above the wound, not on a joint), tightening, and verifying effectiveness by checking for pulse or performing cap-refill. It also emphasizes never removing a applied tourniquet and marking unconscious patients with a 'T' for medical personnel. The importance of having tourniquets readily available in homes, workplaces, and vehicles is highlighted.
