A system for a tourniquet controlling blood flow comprising:

• a strap coupled to a harness;
• a hook having a first longitudinal axis and coupled to the strap at a first region of the hook;
• a first channel for receiving the strap;
• a second channel extending from and parallel with the first channel and having an opening to secure the strap, the second channel extending along a second longitudinal axis, the second longitudinal axis forming an angle of less than ninety degrees with the first longitudinal axis;
• a cord attached at a third region of the hook;
• a fastener attached to the cord;
• and
• a Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) T mount engaged to the fastener;
• the strap comprising a tab, the tab extending over a portion of the strap to secure the hook to the strap.

A method for attaching a strap around a body extremity for controlling blood flow comprising:

• providing an apparatus comprising:
• a hook having a first longitudinal axis and coupled to the strap at a first region of the hook;
• a first channel to receive the strap, the strap comprising a tab, the tab extending over a portion of the strap;
• a second channel extending from and parallel with the first channel and having an opening to secure the strap, the second channel extending along a second longitudinal axis, the second longitudinal axis forming an angle of less than ninety degrees with the first longitudinal axis;
• a cord attached to a third region of the hook;
• a fastener attached to the cord;
• and
• a mount engaged to the fastener;
• wrapping the strap around a junction;
• receiving, by the second channel, the strap to secure the strap around the junction;
• disconnecting the fastener from the mount responsive to wrapping the strap around the junction;
• and
• securing the hook to the strap by the tab.
