Essential hunting equipment
sjwsti:
In studies and in the field improvised tourniquets are not very effective. Knowing the mechanics of how a TK is supposed to work can you fashion one with the proper materials? Sure, but how long does that take? And how easy will it be to improvise under stress? It will be very difficult.
What other piece of emergency equipment would you expect to just throw together if you needed it?
These are the kits that the students in my Level 3 class will be getting.

There are many different kits on the market and this is just one. The Adventure Medical Kit noted above would be just fine with the addition of a commercial TK.
Its easy enough to find out how effective the duct tape/stick TK is, I`ll give it a try tommorow and let you know.

How far from civilization are you packin'?
Me, I don't plan on getting more than a mile rom my vehicle (Any further and I'm off the property). The only absolute essentials are warm waterproof clothes and boots, gun, cartridges (9 in the butt-cuff), knife and permit.
That said, when deer hunting, I also carry/wear: a .357 revolver, binoculars, range finder, 50' of para-cord, compass, field dressing, flashlight, grunt tube, bleat can, hatchet, stoney pt. shooting sticks ..... and dried apple chips to snack on.
A-FIXER:
The sidearm is always a good idea if wounding the critter, and being a good hunter to put it down.
