Man they change that stuff more often than they change their drawers. I can see the point of not cutting as most people would be in a bit of a panic but no tourny? Sheesh. I still have a couple kits myself and never go anywhere in the woods without one. I do believe I'll stick to what I know works. I'm too dern old to be taking hit's from a snake and not pretreating. Granted I'm still a pretty big guy and it would take a while still but at my age I would be much better off getting at least SOME of the venom out before it had a chance to get into my bloodstream. I'd pretty much have to imagine that most of the folks they had cutting too deep and not operating the tourny properly were more than likely city folk that had absolutely no clue about proper field medics like most of us outdoors people learned from our parents/mentors. That was actually some of the first things my great gramps and dad taught me was in the field medics for injury or bites.
