Red River Valley Amateur Radio Club
Amateur Radio in and around the Red River Valley Area of Northeast Texas
All,
Because of my law enforcement background I have training with a couple of products that everyone should probably have a working knowledge about, C-A-T® one-handed tourniquets and QuikClot Bleeding Control gauze. Both can be a lifesaver, but there are Chinese knockoffs our there that look like the real thing. I have recently read reports about Chinese tourniquets failing and costing people’s lives. North American Rescue offers the genuine items and they are currently running a 30% off sale. You will not find a better price on the legitimate items. Please click here and take a look. Just enter NAR2023 on the credit card check out page and it will recalculate the total. Buy the real deal for less than $23 and give them out as gifts. If you do that please tell the recipients to take a course or at least go take a look at YouTube. I know of an instance where a guy at home washing dishes, a combat veteran, dropped something ceramic and when it broke it cut his arm so severely he nearly lost consciousness running for his tourniquet. Had he not had one he would not have survived the call, much less the arrival of the ambulance.
Be safe,
Phillip

Thanks this was the reminder I needed to get this done.
I have been putting off getting these and some QuikClot supplies for awhile.
Cheers!
