Post any tricks you have learned for field expedient methods to treat wounds or ailments! This is a video of a paracord bandage that works very well. I have seen cuts to the bone dry up in 20 seconds or less with this cool little bandage.

I suppose if you had nothing but paracord but you run the risk of applying to much pressure and causing crushing damage to internals, you are basically putting on a tourniquet better of cutting a wide strip of a t shirt and using that. putting silk from a milk weed or fluff from cat o nine tails is only going to cause problems.
I recommend anyone that spends time outdoors take
