Compact Emergency Signal Mirror, Glass, 2”x2” from Battle Systems

By on January 7, 2013 in EDC, Survival, Tactical Gear

The MPIL from Battle Systems, which we love, is growing into a very complete signal system. There are several new additions on the way (they are pretty slick, stay tuned) but one is available right now – the Compact Emergency Signal Mirror, Glass, 2”x2”.

The Compact Emergency Signal Mirror, Glass, 2”x2” will work in any kit but it has features that make it perfectly suited to work with the MPIL. It is 2″ x 2″ to match the size of the folded MPIL so it can be retained by elastic strap that comes with MPIL. The mirror is Velcro backed so that it can be securely retained in the upcoming MPIL pouch that is a collaboration between Battle Systems and TAREINCO or any other Velcro lined pouch.

In addition to the MPIL specific features, it has all of the features that you expect from a premium signal mirror, including glass construction and a retro-reflective aiming grid (allows the mirror to be aimed one handed). It also comes with a laminated instruction card.

Battle Systems continues to grow the MPIL and related accessories into a very complete signal system that works across a broad spectrum of lighting conditions. Check out the new Compact Emergency Signal Mirror, Glass, 2”x2” at BattleSystemsLLC.com.

EARM30 W-2

The Mako Group put out an official update on their shipping times. Their order volume has been through the roof, thanks in large part to the current availability of the E-Lander AR-15 Magazines that we mentioned previously.

From The Mako Group:

“At this time, we are extending the fulfillment time on all new orders to shipping sometime within 3 weeks.
This is for new orders, not orders already placed.
We still may be able to get orders out in 10 days or two weeks or so, but our number of orders has continued to increase, and we do not want the processing of new orders to slow down the packing and shipping of existing orders.

We also do not want to give unrealistic expectations to our customers.

For those who have already ordered, we are still doing all we can to keep fulfillment around 10 days. This extension in shipping time will affect only orders placed from now on.

We will be hiring more people at our Long Island headquarters to process orders and are working double shifts and weekends to get the orders out and decrease this lead time.”

You can check out the E-Lander AR-15 Magazines at TheMakoGroup.com. Use the discount code JERK for 5% off your order and you can also use the code FREE-GRND for free shipping on orders of $99 or more (IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT choose a shipping method when using the free shipping code).

The ITS Tactical medical line up is growing – vertically. There new Tallboy Tallboy ETA Trauma Kit and Pouch represent an alternative to the original version which is now called the Fatboy Tallboy ETA Trauma Kit and Pouch.

The new Tallboy version takes up less PALS columns (2) than the original Fatboy (3). This opens up some additional mounting options since the Tallboy is no wider than a typical double M4 mag pouch. Additionally, the Tallboy can be mounted horizontally using short MALICE clips (included) which makes ideal for mounting on a battle belt. Both versions will now include an ITS Tactical small medical patches.

The ETA Trauma Kit is also now available in Tallboy format to fit the new pouch. It includes the same components as previous ETA Trauma Kits.
