The Mini Kit MK-7 is now available from Triple 7 Gear with a blaze orange interior. The high visibility interior makes it easier to see items placed in the kit and can serve as a signal panel. This is a great addition to an already great piece of gear.

AKs make great truck guns and Armageddon Gear makes a great case for your folding stock AK truck gun. Their EDC-AK Gear Case is designed to hold an AK with a 16″ barrel and folding stock along with some essentials to support the rifle like a bandoleer and first aid gear.
The EDC-AK Gear Case has a top loading design that is very robust and presents the AK in a grip-first orientation so you can remove it from the case quickly. It also features removable shoulder straps so that it can be carried like a backpack. The straps can be packed into the lid when they are not in use. The slick exterior of the case makes it easy to move in and out of tight spaces and gives less of a clue as to what is inside.
The Overlander 2 is the first of TOPS Knives’ SHOT Show debuts to be released. This general utility knife looks ready to work.
The Overlander 2 has a 4″ blade that is ground from 3/16″ 1095 steel. The drop point blade features a half height flat grind which leaves plenty of steel through the spine and tip for strength. The scales are oiled tan canvas micarta and have subtle palm swells. It comes with an individually fit Kydex sheath with steel belt clip.

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.

CLEER Medical has introduced two new pocket medical kits. To give you an idea of how compact they are, they will fit in a Blue Force Gear Single M4 Ten-Speed Pouch. That is tiny!
There are two options. The EDC Pocket Kit is the more complete but larger kit of the two. The Minimalist Pocket Kit is extremely compact but fairly spartan in terms of contents as you might guess from the name.
