I may as well link to this thread, since there is a promo code good for 15% off med supplies during Stop the Bleed month. That brings the CAT gen 7 down to less than $23 each. Free shipping too.

I picked up two of them along with a carry pouch.

Thanks for the discount link. Attended STB this week and needed to round out my kits. Had been waiting on tourniquets until I got some training. With the discount ordered three for both cars and my BOB.
