hmmm! For people who go way back into the woods (guides, hunters, survival instructors, etc.) this seems like a no brainer. Wilderness first responder is far different than that of urban first responder. In the wilderness help may not be a phone call away(no cell phone coverage). You might be back quite a few miles, and extraction may not be immediate. Guess what, protocol is different and you better stop that bleeding right damn now!

when I'm out guiding, I'm the first responder. And I sure as hell don't want someone bleeding out because help is not an option.

I will take whatever help I can get; however, it better be safe to use.
