#1 There are only 4 places to put a TQ. Standard was self-application 1-handed in 30 seconds blindfolded. When your life - or your buddy's - is on the line, one tends to practice. Carry 2 every day - 1 for me and 1 for thee. Those 2 plus an Israeli, a chest seal, and hemostat gauze.

#6 #2 - not a dig on you - but that's what the article is talking about. Wrong spot for TQ.

#7 There are only 4 places to put a TQ.

What are they, Bangkok Billy? I assume upstream of the wound, and probably not around the neck, but clearly there’s more to it than that.

#8 As high up on the arms and legs as possible. Up in the arm pit and the groin crease.

#10 As high up on the arms and legs as possible....

OK, but what about spurting head wounds? That should go on the neck, right?

#13 use 2 in that case...

That makes sense because you have the both left and right carotids.

#14 Need one for each limb and as close to the torso as possible and need to be tight enough to make the victim cry out in pain if conscious. If blood is still seeping it isn't tight enough.
For areas you can't do that, you have to pack and put pressure so they can last long enough to get to the surgeon
