Shaddox Tactical Velcro One-Wrap Adaptable PALs Panel

By on February 17, 2015 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Shaddox Tactical’s new Velcro One-Wrap Adaptable PALs Panel looks to be an extremely versatile piece of kit. I should note that the the name is a bit unwieldy but Shaddox Tactical is working on coming up with a better one.

This panel is designed to be used in a number of different ways limited only by the user’s imagination. It lacks any kind of fixed hardware so it can be configured in whatever way the user needs – as a small chest rig, a subload/drop-leg platform, a pack organizer, or bolted onto the front of a compatible plate carrier. It’s hypalon backing keeps it light but durable while the Velcro One-Wrap PALS webbing ensures it accepts both MOLLE and Velcro backed pouches.

The Velcro One-Wrap Adaptable PALs Panel will be available soon at Shaddox Tactical.

Pen Stackerz from Zulu Nylon Gear

Zulu Nylon Gear’s new Pen Stackerz look to be very handy. These are basically hook backed elastic tubes that are designed to hold pens, markers, chemlights, string cheese, beef sticks, and other gear of a similar size and shape. These can be used anywhere you have loop material like on the front of a plate carrier or inside a loop lined backpack.

There are two different configurations, single and double. The double is design to accept the single so that both units can be stacked together to create a triple. In addition to the hook backing, they are available with integrated D rings or HK hooks for additional mounting options.

Gearward FireBox

By on February 10, 2015 in EDC, Survival

The new FireBox from Gearward is a fire starting kit that is compact enough to EDC, water-resistant, usable for multiple fires even after the tinder is exhausted, and ready to use right out of the box. It contains three components, all of which I have used myself in my own kits. The provided ferro rod and ceramic striker provide hot sparks in all conditions and can be used to ignite many different tinders – not just the provided tinder. The kit also comes with 20 pieces of jute twine tinder that is impregnated with a substance that makes it water-resistant and allows it to burn longer.

This type of tinder is extremely easy to ignite with sparks. You simply process it into fine fibers (this can be done with a knife, a rock, or even by hand). The fibers can then be lightly bunched to create a nest that will catch a spark readily. It is extremely easy to use and will work in damp conditions, cold, and even at altitudes that give butane lighters fits.

Check out the FireBox at Edge/Equipped.
