Multicam Alpine MPIL from Battle Systems

By on February 24, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

The Battle Systems MPIL has a significant new capability under it’s belt thanks to a new camo pattern. The addition of a new Multicam Alpine version gives the MPIL true 4 season functionality.

The original MPIL had an orange side and a pink side, just like the legacy VS-17 that it so deftly replaces. In subsequent versions, Battle Systems replaced the pink side with various camo patterns that gave the MPIL the ability to both be plainly visible and to conceal from sight. Now, with the addition of the Multicam Alpine, that concealment ability has been extended to winter and snowy, alpine climates.

The hunter/hiker can now purchase an MPIL with the original Multicam pattern and a Multicam Alpine pattern to cover their signalling and concealment needs throughout the year. Check out the new Multicam Alpine MPIL from Battle Systems.

Emerson Knives EDC-2 Multitool

By on February 19, 2014 in EDC, Knives

The new Emerson Knives EDC-2 Multitool is now available. This is a streamlined version of the original Emerson EDC-1. Both versions are made in collaboration with Multitasker Tools.

EDC2

The EDC-2 is slimmer, lighter, and less expensive than the original EDC-1. It accomplishes all three of those with the removal of the detachable wrench feature found on the EDC-1. The EDC-2 also features an improved Phillips driver and a thinner slotted driver. The Emerson Commander inspired, 440C blade is still present as is the wicked self-defense implement masquerading as an awl.

The Emerson EDC-2 is available with FDE or OD Green G-10 scales. Check it out at Emerson Knives.

Mini Kit (MK-7)

By on February 17, 2014 in EDC, Survival, Tactical Gear

If you build a better EDC solution, the world will beat a path to your front door… or something like that. Mini Kit MK-7 is a mulch-purpose EDC (every day carry) organizer pouch that is currently being crowd funded on Kickstarter. It is the brainchild of YouTube user 20$Bandit.

Mini Kit MK-7 exterior

The Mini Kit (MK-7) is a clam shell opening pouch with a number of internal organization features that are well suited to the items that many of us carry daily. The exterior of the pouch features a small section of loop material for adding personal ID or tapes to ID the contents of the pouch. The interior of the pouch features a clear vinyl pouch for carrying documents and ID on one side and a series of pockets and elastic loops on the other for retaining lights, knives, cables, pens, and similar items on the other. The kit can be secured in the closed position via an elastic strap.

One look at this kit will give you several ideas on how it could be used. Of course, the obvious use is as an EDC gear organizer but additional uses like survival/E&E kit, first aid kit, cord/cable organization, or even a small navigation kit come to mind.

Check out the Mini Kit (MK-7) Kickstarter page to see if it something you want to help fund. There is less than 1 week left to get involved.
