The Mini Kit MK-7 will be available in Kryptek Highlander, Mandrake, and Typhon late next week. This isn’t the only news coming from 20$Bandit next week so stay tuned.
Check out the Mini Kit MK-7 at 20$Bandit. See my previous review to see what the Mini Kit MK-7 is all about.
I have written about the Deliberate Dynamics GEN2 Plate Carrier before. I am bringing it up again because Deliberate Dynamics recently released a video that details the features and design rationale behind the carrier. It is also worth mentioning that it is now available in Wolf Grey in addition to Black and Coyote Brown.
Check out the Deliberate Dynamics GEN2 Plate Carrier.
The beauty of the 20$Bandit Mini Kit MK-7 is how well it adapts to a variety of roles (see the previous review). It was originally conceived as an every day carry gear organizer but it excels as a medical kit too. That is not lost on 20$Bandit who has begun to offer the Mini Kit in various configurations that are pre-stocked with first aid supplies, the latest of which is the slimLINE – Ranger Medical Kit.
The slimLINE – Ranger Medical Kit is designed to treat penetrating wounds (like those caused by gun shots). It contains the following:
(1) HYFIN Chest Seal (twin pack)
(1) Celox Rapid Ribbon
(4) SWAT-T Tourniquet
(1) ARS for Needle Decompression
(5) 4″ x 4″ Dynarex Gauze Pads
(2) ABD 5″ x 9″ Pads
(1) 4″ x 4″ Tactical Burn Dressing
(2) North American Rescue “Bear Claw” Glove kits
(2) ABD 5″ x 9″ Pads
(1) Providone Iodine 3/4 Fluid Ounce
(1) 3″ x 4 Yard Rolled Gauze
(1) 5.5″ Tactical EMT Shears
(1) Mini Kit (MK-7)
The entire kit weighs 10.5 ounces and packs small (6″ x 6″ x 3″). You can check out the slimLINE – Ranger Medical Kit at 20DollarBandit.com.
Cdh-Tac has been generating significant interest in their THE-E Pocket Organizer but they have not been able to start large scale production. That is where Oneiros Valley comes in. They will be starting production of the THE-E here in the USA in collaboration with Cdh-Tac Finland with delivery starting late this year.
You can see the earlier post on the THE-E for more details on the organizer. Check out the THE-E at Oneiros Valley.
I have and use a bunch of Whiskey Two-Four zipper pulls. They laser cut them from Hypalon which is light weight and just about indestructible. These zipper pulls were only available in black or coyote brown but now Whiskey Two-Four has introduced a red version which can be used to indicate a that a pouch contains first aid items.
This is especially handy considering all of the various trays and inserts on the market that can be used to convert general purpose pouches into first aid pouches. There are also a number of first aid pouches on the market that are unmarked.
The pulls will feature a red cross logo which is fitting for their purpose. Those shown above are prototypes and Whiskey Two-Four states that the production versions, which are not available yet, will have more visible markings though the red color alone is likely enough to indicate the contents of the pouch.
Check out Whiskey Two-Four.
