Crowdfund This: Hawkrigger Switch System

By on April 3, 2017 in EDC, Tactical Gear

UK Based belt maker, Hawkrigger, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for their new Switch System. Hawkrigger’s existing belts already blur the line between tactical/outdoor and casual wear. The Switch System promises to blur that line even further with its interchangeable buckles.

The belt is designed to go from hiking duty, to range duty, to office duty simply by changing the included buckles. Each belt “system” come with the belt itself and 3 buckles. The first buckle is a simple, casual slider style buckle that Hawkrigger calls an Urban Buckle. The second is Hawkrigger’s exclusive lay-flat riggers style buckle called the Smokejumper. Finally, the set includes a 38mm Cobra Buckle. The image below shows ways you might use each of these options.

There are a number of color and buckle finish options available for backers. Check out the Hawkrigger Switch System on Kickstarter.

Let’s say you want a Swiss Army Knife with a pocket clip or you wish you could find one with anodized matte black scales. Maybe you have always wanted a combination of tools that Victorinox has never offered or you want a full on custom with skeletonized scales, a custom brass magnifier, and wild colors anodized on the scales. SAKModder can do all that.

SAKModder, aka Robert Lessard, can do all kinds of custom work on Swiss Army Knives. Some modders can just combine tools or change scales for you. SAKModder dives deeper than that, even going so far as to manufacture custom parts. The results speak for themselves.

If you have a custom SAK project in mind, look at SAKModder’s website or get in touch via Instagram (bring a drool napkin).

Operator Survival Tool 2.0

By on March 30, 2017 in EDC, Guns

If you have a battery storage stock or grip and you don’t keep batteries in the compartment, this could be for you. The Operator Survival Tool 2.0 (OST 2.0) consists of a small knife sharpener, small ferro rod, an AR-15 multi-tool/scraper, and a small plastic container, all of which is the same size as two CR123 batteries. That means the entire kit fits most battery storage compartments.

The scraper/multi-tool is made from D2 tool steel. It has shaped edges that allow to scrape the contours of an AR-15 bolt tail, behind the lugs, and down inside the carrier along with other functions like driving screws and prying. The container can also be used as a handle for the ferro rod or sharpener which is nice considering how difficult it can be to use small sharpeners and fire starters.

PACELids – Add Storage Capacity to Your Water Bottle

By on March 29, 2017 in EDC, Survival

PACELids are a replacement lid for many of the common wide mouth water bottles on the market like Nalgene (and similar), Klean Kanteen, and more. In addition to keeping your water where it belongs, they also have a watertight storage compartment. This compartment can be used to store whatever you want – first aid items, survival kit items, snacks, water purification tablets, or anything else that fits.

If you are already carrying a compatible water bottle (or two), PACELid could be a great way to organize smaller items that would otherwise be knocking around in your pack.
