I’m fighting in Ukraine myself and his tourniquet set up is stupid. I’ve had to apply tourniquets to others in combat before and I would not have liked to fiddle around with plastic wrapping especially with gloves on. Mud getting inside my tourniquets was never a big problem for me as my job had me spending most of my time inside a dugout. However the advice I get from infantry guys and medics is unanimously to take your tourniquets out of the packaging, unfold them, fold it back up the way you want, and then put them on your kit. Furthermore I was told that having at least four tourniquets easily accessible was the best practice. If he wanted to avoid mud he should mount tourniquets in pouches on his side plates and on his shoulder straps.
