Not all of us live in densely populated areas where medics are only a few minutes away.

I have a coworker who wrecked his motorcycle on the way home from work. He was tossed into a ravine/steep ditch and his leg hit part of the bike or a tree or something on the way, almost severing it below the knee. It took 40 minutes for help to arrive and get him out. If he hadn't had an IFAK on his body, or hadn't been conscious enough to apply his TQ himself, he would have died. Edge case? Of course. But they do happen.
