By Matt on August 28, 2017 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Blue Force Gear is clearing out their DAPPER Panels for $10! These loop covered panels are cut specifically for panel loading 3 day style packs but can also be folded to fit a wide variety of packs.

These are used by adding the hook backed patches of your choice to the surface of the DAPPER Panel, then it is inserted into your pack. It may be removed quickly and easily via the grab handle. It can easily be configured/reconfigured to carry anything from EDC items, medical gear, magazines, and more.

The Dapper Insert Panel measures 13” tall by 8.5” wide at the top tapering out to 17.5” at the bottom.

Check out the DAPPER Panel on Blue Force Gear’s Last Call page.

knife2meetyou Non-Metallic Knives

You may not know the work of knife maker Knife2meetyou but you should! He posts his work on Instagram where he describes himself as a “knifemaker wannabe”. If he keeps innovating non-metallic knives the way he has so far, he will be able to drop the “wannebe” from that title.

He has produced a number of non-metallic designs from G-10. While the blade shapes vary, many of his design incorporate similar randomly textured handles and an ingenious integral clip. As you can see from the photos below, this clip allows for some interesting carry and concealment possibilities.

You can get in touch with Knife2meetyou via Instagram.

You may remember the Sagewood Gear Spool Card that we posted recently. That larger model has now been replaced with the new Mini Spool Card. The Mini Spool Card is about the size of a credit card but still holds 30 feet of #36 bank line with which it comes pre-wrapped. The Mini Spool Card has a lanyard loop and cord retainer slot at each end.

By Matt on August 21, 2017 in EDC

The ATLAS Gen 4 ACHILLES Trauma Kit Ankle Band has some functionality that you won’t find on any other trauma pouch for ankle carry. It is constructed almost entirely out of 5″ wide heavy duty elastic so it can stretch to fit and retain a wide variety of kit components. This 16″ long band has sewn in pockets for items like dressings and a dedicated tourniquet pocket. It also features an integral tarpaulin sheath for items like Benchmade Rescue Hooks or trauma shears. Finally, a laser cut, MOLLE compatible panel provides a way to attach an additional pouch should you need to add another item like an additional tourniquet.

The Gen 4 ACHILLES Trauma Kit Ankle Band is made right here in the USA by Snake Eater Tactical for ATLAS Consulting Group. You can find it at StrongLikeBeetle.com.
