Perroz Designs Low Profile Slick Plate Carrier

By Matt on May 31, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

Perroz Designs’ new Low Profile Slick Plate Carrier is now available. It features a very low-profile, slick plate pocket design with very thin Hypalon shoulder-straps and cummerbund. The plate pockets are constructed from 500D Cordura Nylon on the front and backed with spacer mesh to add just a bit of padding and breathability. It is available in a number of colors including Multicam, Kryptek, solid colors, and more.

The promo video below gives you a good idea of how low profile it is. Notice how the cummerbund stays well clear of belt mounted kit and there is almost no bulk around the shoulders.

Wilde Built Tactical Custom Motorcyle PALS Panels

By Matt on May 16, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

I will keep banging the drum for small businesses in this industry as long as cool stuff like keeps happening… Wilde Built Tactical made these custom PALS panels for a motorcycle. It is always a challenge to carry and organizer gear on a motorcycle. Now the owner of the motorcycle has a handy platform for attaching various pouches and packs… and… uh…

Oh, sorry. I was just day dreaming about building an awesome bugout dual sport motorcycle that is covered in PALS panels and cool guy gear!

Cyclop Survival Sheath Prototype from EDC Survival Tools

By Matt on May 14, 2014 in EDC, Knives, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

Velcro has become very common place both on the inside and outside of packs. EDC Survival Tools is showing off a new Kydex sheath that capitalizes on this trend. Their Cyclop Survival Sheath is a Velcro backed Kydex sheath that is designed to carry a small fixed blade knife and a fire starter, though it could just as easily be adapted to other items like AAA battery flashlights.

The prototype is shown with a Boker Grasshopper and an Exotac nanoStriker. It is made from Multicam pattern Kydex and features a small glowing insert that can help you locate in low-light conditions.

This looks like a very trim and easy to access solution for carrying common EDC items. Check out the EDC Survival Tools Facebook page.

Gearward A-K Band

By Matt on May 14, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

Gearward’s A-K Band, or Anti-Kidnapping Band, is an extremely discreet kit that can keep a few effective escape tools close at hand, even if you are restrained. The kit consists of a bit of ranger band, a polymer handcuff key, a ceramic razor blade, and a 4′ length of Kevlar cord to use as a friction saw. The ranger band allows you to stow all of the contents of the kit on your watch band where it nearly disappears once covered by the folded over excess of the watch band.

The kit is completely non-metallic and since it is carried on your watch, it can theoretically be accessed while you are restrained (assuming you are allowed to keep your watch). As with any kit of this sort, I highly recommend that you spend some time learning and practicing its use before you need it.

You can find the A-K Band at Gearward and, while you are there, check out their extensive pictures on the A-K Band’s use.
