Dark Angel Medical Med Kit Identifiers

By Matt on August 15, 2016 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Many modern med kit pouches, like the DARK Pouches from Dark Angle Medical, do not have any type of medical identification on the pouch. Instead, they typically have a loop field so that the user can add the identification of their choosing.

Dark Angel Medical is now offering their own line of Med Kit Identifier patches in four colors so you can choose the more visible and readily identifiable red cross or a subdued color. These PVC patches measure 1″ x 1″ so they should fit even the most compact pouches with loop fields.

By Matt on August 12, 2016 in EDC, Flashlights

Elzetta has announced the availability of their limited edition light for 2016 – the LE2016 Copper-Plated Alpha Modular Flashlight. It has all the features of the Alpha Modular Light but with a copper-plated finish that will age and patina. This light will look great when it’s new and even more amazing as it oxidizes and changes over time.

These never last long so act fast. Visit Elzetta’s website for details.

Bladerigs to Launch Line of Training Knives

By Matt on August 11, 2016 in EDC, Knives, Tactics and Training

There are a number of knives on the market that have merits for self-defense but that lack an available training drone. This can often happen because the manufacturer doesn’t envision the knife in a defensive role or they don’t take training seriously (or because drones just don’t sell in large numbers). Bladerigs will seek to fill some of that void for various popular fixed blade knives.

They are already showing off the first in the series – a training drone for the excellent and affordable CRKT Minimalist. These popular Alan Folts designed knives are extremely compact yet offer excellent retention thanks to their handle design. The introduction of this training drone will allow those who carry this knife to actually train with contact.

The Minimalist drone is currently available in a package that includes the training drone, a live blade, and a sheath. Check out Bladerigs for more details.

TOPS Knives FIEL – Closer Look

By Matt on August 10, 2016 in EDC, Knives

The FIEL is one of the latest releases from TOPS Knives. It’s an interesting design because it melds traditional dagger elements with deep bellied, recurve edges. TOPS recently produced a video that describes the FIEL’s design elements and its potential uses.

CORE Nano Adventure Wallet as Compact Entry Kit

By Matt on August 10, 2016 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

This is pretty slick. Vigilant Gear posted a picture of how they use the CORE Nano Adventure Wallet from Triple 7 Gear/20$ Bandit as a compact entry kit organizer. Many people who live or work in urban spaces are adding lock bypass tools to their emergency preparedness kits and this looks like handy way to keep those tools organized.

To put this in perspective, the kit shown is smaller than a deck of playing cards yet it can bypass most common types of locks the urban survivor is likely to encounter. This kit is not being offered for sale as shown but you can build your own that is tailored to your needs/skill level. Most of the individual tools are available at Vigilant Gear.
