EVERYDAY CARRY TOURNIQUETS
Preserving life — Conserva Vitam. EDC tourniquets 65% smaller than industry standard.
Snakestaff Systems is an FDA-registered medical device manufacturer based in South Salt Lake, Utah — makers of the Everyday Carry Tourniquet (ETQ), engineered to be 65% smaller than the industry standard so it actually fits in a pocket, wallet pouch, or flat-packed IFAK. The design was built around feedback from U.S. military, Special Operations, law enforcement, EMTs, and outdoor professionals — the people who already carry tourniquets every day and know exactly what doesn't work about the standard ones. Proudly made in the U.S.A.

The service here was excellent. The owner hooked me up after I made the wrong order for the holder. Great customer service!
My pleasure! It was great taking care of you sir!
-Charles, Owner
Great customer service and product. Shipped quickly and extremely easy to deal with
Thank you Gary! Always happy to be of service.
Very impressive! Will get more.
Everything arrived quickly and correctly. I would definitely recommend Stay Ready Outdoors to anyone looking for the products they sell.
Amazing tourniquet. Half the size of a standard tourniquet, but works just the same. Perfect for EDC.
I keep a couple on me at all times....you never know....
-Charles
I bought the widest Wide and you sent me the regular one. So it's difficult.
Hello Gustavo,
I apologize for the mixup on your order! As stated in my reply email, I will be sending you out the correct ETQ size. Our sincerest apologies.
Great low profile tourniquet!
Hard to argue with that! I keep one in each vehicle, my EDC bag, etc.
I will be replacing all of my old TQ’s with these.
Very impressed!
Thank you! Pro tip: keep your old TQ's as trainers.
Best EDC tourniquet, even compared to CAT.
Thank you Brendan! Definitely a must have EDC item.
Amazing product, way easier to carry everyday than my old CAT.
I have searched for a reputable compact tourniquet for quite some time and came across the ETQ. This checks all the boxes. Rated for use on kids, compact to easily fit in a diaper bag, works with Snakeskin Pro sleeve that can be clipped to belt or pocket for every day carry, and has the chem light feature which is pretty awesome. I hope to never have to use the ETQ but, I have a little more peace of mind knowing I have this at the ready incase anything were to happen to my son. Standard TQ's are great but oversized for the little ones, the ETQ bridges that gap.
I would also give another 5 star rating to Charles Quarto, the founder and my main point of contact when inquiring about this product. He is very helpful, responsive and, answered all of my questions before purchasing. Keep up the great work and I look forward to doing business with you again in the future!
Stay safe!
Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
How long can a tourniquet stay applied?
Note the time of application and get the patient to definitive medical care as quickly as possible. A tourniquet should not be loosened or removed in the field by an untrained responder. Follow your training and your local protocols.
Do I need training to use it?
Yes. A tourniquet is a life-safety device and applying one correctly under stress takes hands-on practice. Snakestaff makes a blue ETQ Trainer built to the same dimensions so you can drill repeatedly without wearing out the unit you actually carry.
What is the difference between Regular and Wide?
The Wide uses a 1.5 in compression band for a broader wrap surface. The Regular keeps a narrower profile for tighter carry. Both share the same Gen 2 mechanism and pocket-sized footprint, and each has its own matching sleeve size.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.
What’s your return policy?
30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.
Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.
What can’t I return?
Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.
My package arrived damaged — what now?
Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Active-duty and veteran military, police, fire, EMS, and medical first responders get 10% off every order. Verify through GovX at checkout — one-time, secure, and reusable across thousands of brands. Discount applies automatically once you’re verified.
