First of all, I'm NOT a moderator, so I can't do anything. Besides, there's nothing wrong with what you brought up in your post! The problem is that in a wilderness situation, unlike a combat area, there's no helicopter standing by--even if one has a PLB or other signaling device, it may take a day or two for the bureaucratic wheels to grind and SAR to reach the victim. Unfortunately.

There have been cases in which idiot carrying hunting rifle at a slant downward with the safety off managed to discharge it into the leg of the idiot walking directly in front of him. That would probably be one of those "tourniquet or die" cases.
