Have used a bandana as a tourniquet and a pen as a tensioner twice before, successfully. Key is the need for a tensioner. Be it a pen, stick, screwdriver. Whatever one can use to tighten the tourniquet, then tie off.
For what, heroin? Adapting can be useful but it's like I can use the battery pack of a drill to bash a nail in but you should really use the right tool for the job.
Not everyone has an active shooter story but theres always one guy in a group that has a story about seeing a traffic accident and people trying to use shoelaces to stop bleeding and shit. Having a simple med kit with basic life saving equipment is cheap. There's no reason not to.
This isn't an argument. They didn't have nylon, genius. They HAD dedicated medical kit. They didn't go out in the field with only a bundle of twigs and some chewing gum thinking they are macgyver.
No. They really can't. 90% of improvised tourniquets fail.

The ability to adapt is the ability to survive.
Tell that to all those civil war soldiers that lost limbs because crude tourniquets were left on too long.
This is like blaming cars because you suck exhaust pipes on your free time
