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.

The ability to adapt is the ability to survive.
