Fehu Outdoors Angled Radio Pouch

The Fehu Outdoor Rangled Radio Pouch allows users to mount a radio on a PALS grid in an angled orientation. This is ideal for carrying a radio on something like a Hill People Gear Kit Bag or other applications where moving the antenna out of the way or a reduced height footprint can be beneficial. It is so ideal, in fact, that Hill People Gear carries this product.

The Fehu Outdoors Angled Radio Pouch fits a variety of radios thanks to its elastic construction (7″ x 3″x 1.5″). It is made in the USA.

Lynx Defense Releases The Policy – A Discreet PDW Backpack Insert

Four Oaks, NC – Lynx Defense will release its newest backpack product, The Policy, on January 6, 2022. The Policy is designed to conceal backpack carry sub guns discreetly and comfortably in nearly any backpack.

“At Lynx Defense, we are always working to provide products that fill a hole in the market and with the Policy, we feel we have created the ultimate gray man carry solution” said Michael Savage, founder and CEO of Lynx Defense. “The idea behind The Policy is that it’s your insurance policy for when everything goes wrong. The Policy allows you have your PCC or folding AR in your everyday backpack ready to go but concealed from everyone”.

The Policy is an everyday carry bag insert to help keep your PDW, folding brace AR, or other small backpack carryable weapon secure and in place. The Policy was designed to separate your gun from the rest of the contents of your backpack so you can quickly and easily get to it if you need to.

The concept of The Policy is extremely simple it allows you to carry your sub gun using your existing backpack to discreetly carry while still maintaining organization and keeping your gun within arms reach in the event you need it.

The Policy is made in North Carolina using durable materials to protect your gear while it is your backpack. We also utilize 1/2″ foam to keep your gun protected and away from the other contents of the bag. As with all of its products, Lynx Defense offers a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty on The Policy.For more information on The Policy and other Lynx Defense products, visit www.lynxdefense.com.

Dark Angel Medical Deploys HEDR 2.0 Vehicle IFAK

Dark Angel Medical is happy to announce they’ve upgraded the original HEDR  (Headrest Emergency Deployment Rig) Trauma Kit. The updated HEDR 2.0 trauma kits are now better designed to withstand the shock of offroading and backroad travel.

“Mountains are not fair or unfair, they are just dangerous.”

Reinhold Messner

The NHTSA and CDC advise 2 million + people are injured every year in a vehicle accident. Thousands more are killed (34,000 in 2017 and 36,000 in 2019, for example). This makes traffic-related fatalities the third most common non-health-related cause of death in the United States.

Knowing these numbers, why wouldn’t you have something in your vehicle to deal with trauma? Why avoid life’s adventures just because they’re riskier than staying home? With this upgrade, you can be as prepared off-road as you are on

We road-tested the HEDR in the mountains of our Colorado HQ and decided it was time for an upgrade. There’s a new retention strap to keep it securely mounted to the headrest. Additional straps inside the kit to keep individual contents firmly in place and accessible if an emergency interrupts your day  – saving you precious seconds if you need to access them.

The HEDR is available in Black, Coyote Tan, or Wolf Grey.

Here’s what the full HEDR 2.0 kit contains:

  •   1 x Hemostatic Gauze (QuikClot Bleeding Control Dressing or ChitoGauze)
  •   1 x Pair Nitrile Gloves
  •   1 x Mini Compression Bandage
  •   1 x HALO Seals
  •   1 x Compressed Gauze
  •   1 x Eye Shield, Polycarbonate
  •   1 x Mylar Blanket
  •   1 x NPA
  •   1 x CAT or SOFTT-W TQ with room for 2 more tourniquets
  •   1 x Full-Size Shears 

Note: Can be upgraded to ARS, HALO Vent or a combo of both

Complete Kit Weight: 3 lb

Complete Kit Dimensions: 6.5” Tall x 11.5” Wide x 1.5” Thick

HEDR Panel Weight: 1 lb

HEDR Panel Dimensions: 6.5” Tall x 11.5” Wide x 0.75” Thick

The HEDR deployment rig (pouch only) can be purchased separately, as can individual tourniquet holders.

Simplicity under stress.

Fourfold Improvement in WNDSN Telemeter Accuracy

BERLIN, 2021-10-14 – WNDSN Applied Sciences Lab presents a significant update to their main product, a new sighting scale that improves the Telemeter accuracy by 400%. The WNDSN Telemeter is a low-tech, naked-eye distance measuring instrument based on comparing the triangle between our eye and a scale with the triangle between our eye and the object in question.

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” –Henry David Thoreau

In response and in collaboration with users who report problems in sighting accuracy due to the fixed distance between eye and scale that the Telemeter operation requires, WNDSN has developed a new sighting scale inspired by surveyor’s instruments with scale marks in E shape.

For the new sighting scale blocks instead of lines are used as scale marks, filling every other pair of lines with a solid color. This change increases the width of the smallest element which the user can visually discern from 0.25 mm to 1 mm — yielding a fourfold increase in legibility.

To introduce this improved scale, it has been added to the Night Ops Telemeter, which is already optimized for enhanced visibility in the dark. A bestseller ever since its release, the Night Ops Telemeter is a going-back-to-the-roots, bare bones Telemeter in clear acrylic.

The WNDSN Telemeter upgrade is designed to help people with short-sightedness or other visual impairment but it also increases accuracy for users who have no issues sighting with the original scale.

Made in Germany.
