For EDC with a normal functioning ems system it’s basically:

- tourniquet ( I personally prefer the SWAT-Tourniquet)
- hemostatic gauze (or plain gauze roll)

Sure I would like to carry additional items, but I prefer to consistently carry a minimal kit vs. a larger prone to be left at home.

Basically this gives you something to cover or stuff into a wound and something to create pressure, be it as a pressure dressing or a TQ
