PACELids – Add Storage Capacity to Your Water Bottle

By on March 29, 2017 in EDC, Survival

PACELids are a replacement lid for many of the common wide mouth water bottles on the market like Nalgene (and similar), Klean Kanteen, and more. In addition to keeping your water where it belongs, they also have a watertight storage compartment. This compartment can be used to store whatever you want – first aid items, survival kit items, snacks, water purification tablets, or anything else that fits.

If you are already carrying a compatible water bottle (or two), PACELid could be a great way to organize smaller items that would otherwise be knocking around in your pack.

TIHK Escape Stick

By on March 27, 2017 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

TIHK first came to prominence with their namesake product, the Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key. Since that time, they have continued to develop other clever and compact products designed to escape illegal restraint. Their latest product, the Escape Stick, is now available.

Part of what separates TIHK products from other products aimed at the same market is the care that TIHK puts into the design of their products. They seem to realize that not only does a tool like this have to work, it also has to be able to be carried and concealed in a way that makes sense.

The new Escape Stick is a great example of that. The tools are important and useful – a handcuff key, a rod saw, and thin metal saw. However, the form factor is just as important. This slim tool is just 3″ long with a 3/8″ diameter and most of the tool is encapsulated with a rubber tube. This design allows it to be concealed almost anywhere – even against the skin of the user.

Sneak Peek: TOPS Knives Hammer Hawk Prototype Sheath

By on March 16, 2017 in Knives, Survival

TOPS Knives rolled out several new products at SHOT Show and the Hammer Hawk was likely the most talked about. The details of the full-tang tomahawk were mostly ironed out at the time of the show but TOPS did state that they were still working on the sheath for both the tomahawk its companion knife.

Now we have this sneak peek of the prototype sheath set up. Details are likely to change on the production version but this gives us a sold idea of what we can look forward to. It looks like TOPS will have a belt sheath for the companion knife and a bit cover that still allows the user access to the Hammer Hawk’s hammer poll when installed.

TOPS also tells us that the Hammer Hawk is likely not going to make it retail until sometime the last half of 2017 (Q3 or Q4).
