Molleganizers from Blade Tricks

By on March 20, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

I have covered Blade Tricks on Blade Bomb before. They make a bunch of very slick edged tools and related items but their most recent product is not a knife, tomahawk, or even an impact weapon. It is a thin plastic sheet with a ton of possibilities.

Molleganizers are thin plastic sheets with a series of slots and holes cut into them to create a MOLLE compatible grid. The slots allow you to mount any MOLLE compatible pouches. The holes allow you to mount items that typically mount via screws like Safariland 6004 compatible pouches or gear that would normally use a Tek-Lok to mount. The holes can even be used to mount sections of 1913 rail so you can mount rail-mounted items.

These could be used to organize a bag or create a stand-alone organizer. They come in a variety of sizes to fit different applications. There is no shortage of possibilities for something like this.

Vigilant Gear Kit Container

By on March 17, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

A good survival kit starts with a good container. The new Kit Container from Vigilant Gear is certainly that.

The Kit Container is made from hard anodized aluminum to keep weight to a minimum while still offering the multiple functions that make metal containers useful in this application like the ability to heat water. The lid has reflective material inside that can be used for low light signalling and its 4.1″ x 2.5″ x 1.4″ size gives you quite a bit of capacity to work with when it comes time to stock the kit.

Best of all, the Kit Container has an integrated rubber gasket and Velcro straps that can help keep the contents dry and intact. The gasket is an especially nice feature that moves the Kit Container to the front of the line when it comes to metal survival kit containers.

20$Bandit Mini Medic Kit

By on March 14, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

Nearly every mention of the 20$Bandit Mini Kit (MK-7) that I have seen makes mention of the fact that it would make a great first aid kit organizer. It makes perfect sense that 20$Bandit is releasing med kit that is purpose built for use with the Mini Kit.

The 20$Bandit Mini Medic Kit is designed to fit perfectly into the clear, vinyl pouch in the Mini Kit and contains a few essentials:

(4) Personal Antimicrobial Wipes (PAWS)
(1) Roll cloth Adhesive Tape .25″
(2) BURN JEL (single use 3.5 g)
(2) Mole Skin (Kidney)
(1) Oval Eye Pad
(1) Wound Closure Strips (modern day butterfly bandage)
(10) Sheer Strip (1″ x 3″)
(4) 3″ x 3″Sterile gauze pads
(5) Knuckle bandages
(2) Hydrocortisone 1% Cream (1.5 g)
(2) Triple Antibiotic Ointment (.9 g)
(1) Mylar Space Blanket

It should be noted that this is more of an EDC boo-boo kit than a gunshot wound treatment kit so it is not a replacement for a proper IFAK (which anyone who carries a gun should be carrying).

MSM Shear Pouch Plus

By on March 12, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

The Monkey has some good ideas. The new MSM Shear Pouch Plus takes a pretty standard shear pouch and adds the useful functionality of a tourniquet holder. This allows the user to carry two items that often do not fit inside smaller IFAKs in a compact and efficient manner (takes up just 1 column of PALS webbing).

Check out the MSM Shear Pouch Plus.

Elzetta Red Drop-In Flood Lens

By on March 10, 2014 in EDC, Flashlights, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

Elzetta continues to build the suite of accessories available for their modular flashlights. The newest is a red version of their drop-in flood lens. This new version diffuses the light over a wide area and helps to preserve your dark adjusted vision. I suspect this would work especially well with the high/low tail cap to provide a low output, long runtime lighting option that preserves dark adjusted vision.

Check out the new lens option at Elzetta.com.
