RATS Tourniquet. BEST CARRY METHOD. John Lovell’s Warrior Poet Method Variation 

Vid starts @6:30.

I like the tape idea. Thanks for posting.GB

Brother, thanks for the info. Your heart’s in the right place. I’d encourage you to work on making your presentation more concise. Less words can have greater impact. Please don’t take this as criticism, as it is not. Just sharing an opportunity for improvement on your videos. Thanks again.

Great idea! Just ordered one and will carry it that way too!

Great video, I have seen the way John uses his, I too had to modify it as well, I can not put the tourniquet around my waist so i feed it through my belt loops as far as i can go.

This is great. Been using John's method for a while, and will give this a try.

Good idea, nice vid. I wear an ankle rig by The Wilderness.1 Rats, 2 Israeli bandages (no compression bar) 2 gloves, trauma shears and material to make a chest seal. If I'm wearing pants, I have it on. Your philosophy is spot on.

Great video, thanks for the info.

You really can't argue with the price and practicality of the RATS. I have had mine for a while. Stopped carrying it for one week. This past week we had three Deputy Involved Shootings in my county. One of which a deputy saved his life with a tourniquet. Needless to say, I'm carrying it again.

That’s pretty good bro, nice channel. Just subbed!

Excellent review buddy you showed it perfect everybody else don't show it slow enough to see. GREAT JOB.

great vid thanks for the detailed explanation and belief system

Great idea, with the pre loop and the tape stopper, the newer models have the stopper already applied FYI

Great video! I work in a pretty constrictive workplace so I follow the same procedure but keep it inside my waistband

Excellent method and thought through

Great vid, appreciate it! I saw John's video as well and like how you tweaked his method a bit.

Nice. Really like this method. Ty

awesome, best vid on EDC of a Tourniquet... I watched a lot of better edited, professionally done etc but this one had the most helpful info of them all.

Just so you know, a reason you might not want to preloop the rats is self application on a limb that is partially amputated. That is one of the great things about a rats tourniquet, along with wider range of limb sizes it can be applied too. Little kids to adults....

great video

Nice vid, good philosophy. Left me with some thugs to consider👍🏽

Thank you for this great video. Where did you get the belt?

Super simple

Great video. Recently bought this tourniquet in orange because it works on children. It’s a depravity almost all (every single one I’ve seen so far) first aid kits don’t have kid friendly materials. Maybe one day they’ll worry about making kid friendly kits. In the mean time I modify them myself.

thanks for the Video, Rats are great. how do you get your rat out with your right hand only? With a winterjacket or in a car it could be difficult.

Nice mod to his method! Also looks like running over top would prevent your shirt from catching while drawing your firearm or anything for that matter. Have you had any issues with snags at all??

Thanks!!! 🇧🇷

Hey brother just subscribed. Gonna pick me up a rats tourniquet. I’ve been looking for a pair of jeans/pants like that forever as an undercover Chicago PO.What brand is that? No homo lol. If you can help me out 9n where to buy them I’d appreciate it!

Реально круто придумал, и сказал правильные вещи по существу 👍🏻

Just went to buy one and on the Rats website (NOT Amazon) they offer a cool IWB case for the RATS. Apparently there are fake rats on Amazon unfortunately

Noice!

When I use this method it prints like crazy Edit: the real issue is that it will come undone, doesn't feel secure

Come back to RU-vid

Lacrosse?

Great video! Just be aware that this method doesn't support ambidextrous access 😉

I've owned a rats for a while but kept it In my range bag. I as well as my both my sisters were at rt91 in Vegas our group made it out safely, thank God. I now carry the rats on me and have one in all my vehicles.

Not to be too critical but you don't have Lovell's technique down. First, he wraps his clockwise and you go counterclockwise. I do like yours though. Less chit chat next time. I did subscribe too.

I'm Not sold on the RATs-TQ at this time. I get the impression..it's "gimmicky"..( I may use it as the second or third choice to the proven C.A.T. or S.O.F.-T) I'm comfortable with the C.A.T. and S.O.F.T...tested in combat, and extensive training applications (avg: 10-20 secs), easy to pack, light weight, durable..and can work them in tight work space, day or night, rain or shine. ***May you show tests with the RATs, under these conditions***

Rambles on and on till about 6:30 or 7:00.

sounds like alot of work to keep taking it on and off when i go to the bathroom

there has got to be a better way for bathroom breaks

what kind of pants are those bro lol

Guys across the creek really bothered you eh? Remember, you can edit and remove things like that before final is produced. Just a thought. Content-wise, outstanding.

I think you applied it incorrectly.....

As a combaf medic from 2012-2019 we didn't like these. There are numerous issues in use. Get a cat or sof t. , Israeli bandage, and combat guaze. Those 3 will serve you much better in a variety of bloodloss situations. I'm now a detective and police trainer, and have come across many depts using the rat. While those can work, they work in very limited situations and are more prone to failure. I'm still a tc3 instructor and would highly recommend taking a TC3 med course. Go to a national guard base that has a medic section (usually headquarters) and ask if you can attend when they go through their tc3 course. As long as they have a good commander they should have no problem with a civilian attending. We actually encouraged it while I was teaching. You'll learn life safing skills and meet some really nice guys. It sucks you stopped uploading. You have the potential to reach a lot of people, especially as you hone your craft. I like your philosophy and you seem to have a great disposition. Hope you're doing well. God bless from TX.

warrior poet??? stop no poetry in battle --stop glorifying

Worst tourniquet on the market. Best carry method is to carry a CAT or SOFTT-W. Don’t be fooled by cool guys. This doesn’t meet standards.

you should be embarrassed for having this tourniquet and carrying it.

Why tweek something that already works...your way looks more complicated...i see a john wannabe hmmmm....and come on there is only one john and that makes my HAIR BLOW BACK lol lol

Lost me with your suggestion that school kids should be taught how to use this in order to keep your 2nd Amendment rights.... that's your solution for school shootings? Seriously?? I sincerely hope that you never have to experience having one of your children involved in a school shooting.

I hope you got medical training and stopped doing this by now
