A friend encouraged me to have a tourniquet available in case of traumatic injury (myself or others). After our discussion, I decided to purchase one for both of our family vehicles and one for my range bag.

Did a little practice on my arms and legs with this. Does the job great as it should. Get a pouch for it though so it doesn't come loose easily and also a marker to write down the time on the area provided for it.

I carry this with me at all times
I've practiced with this device in training classes focused on GSW and similar types of injury, and carry one with me at all times, along with other EDC 'items'. Better to have 'em and not need 'em, than to need 'em and not have 'em.

Everyone should have one
Everyone should have one of these in their range bag or car; you never know, the limb you save may be your own.

Is the windlass metal or plastic?
Answer:
It's polymer. Per the written description: Windlass Rod Is Twice As Strong As Previous Models, Has An Increased Diameter And Improved Grip
Is this a GEN 7?
Answer:
North American Rescue says nothing about "generation" on their web site.
