If your CAT is still in its wrapper, you are wrong. You can attach extra CATs to MOLLE or belts with a rubber band or put it in a flashbang pouch. The guaze in my kit is Quick Clot Combat Gauze, z-folded and vacuum packed. The compression bandage/pressure dressing is a .mil issued ETD/Israeli 4” Emergency Trauma Dressing, with the outermost wrapper removed.

Thanks! Ill check that out, I appreciate it. Our course focused on personal aid (using basic bandages on yourself and one handed TQ application) and we also of course practiced wound packing and TQs on others.
All my CATs are out of their packaging and have been refolded for one handed application.
A Student once said to his master: "You teach me fighting, but you talk about peace. How do you reconcile the two?"
The master replied: "It is better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war."
Gear, or rifles are only as good as the user. Even if a rifle is true to an inch at a mile, even if gear is as light as a feather, yet as durable as leather, it is limited by its user. Invest in training.
