Bogota π

By on February 26, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

SerePick is showing off a new product that they may bring to market soon called Bogota π. SerePick has created other Bogota sets in the traditional pick form factor like the Titan Flats set. However, these are around 3.14159265359” (hence the name) which makes them very compact.

The Bogota π set includes a Hook, Double, Triple and Quad Bogota along with a flat double-sided tensioner. Currently, only a few sample sets have been created. They will hopefully go into production soon.

By on February 25, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

The Vigilant Gear Micro SERE Kit is now available! We have previously mentioned this kit when it being developed, and if you have been following us on Facebook and Instagram, you have seen an early version of the kit. It is a truly excellent kit that is surprisingly versatile and comprehensive given its small size.

Multicam Alpine MPIL from Battle Systems

By on February 24, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

The Battle Systems MPIL has a significant new capability under it’s belt thanks to a new camo pattern. The addition of a new Multicam Alpine version gives the MPIL true 4 season functionality.

The original MPIL had an orange side and a pink side, just like the legacy VS-17 that it so deftly replaces. In subsequent versions, Battle Systems replaced the pink side with various camo patterns that gave the MPIL the ability to both be plainly visible and to conceal from sight. Now, with the addition of the Multicam Alpine, that concealment ability has been extended to winter and snowy, alpine climates.

The hunter/hiker can now purchase an MPIL with the original Multicam pattern and a Multicam Alpine pattern to cover their signalling and concealment needs throughout the year. Check out the new Multicam Alpine MPIL from Battle Systems.

Midwest Armor VENTURE FM3 – 2.2# Level III Plates

By on February 19, 2014 in Survival, Tactical Gear

VentureFM3Midwest Armor just released their new VENTURE FM3 armor plates. These 10×12″ level III, NIJ06 certified plates weigh just 2.2 pounds each. That isn’t a typo. I wrote 2.2 pounds. That means that a set of these will weigh less than a single level III plate from most manufacturers.

The VENTURE FM3 plates are manufactured from an advanced UHMWPE material. They feature a shooters cut and are 1″ thick. These plates are also positively buoyant (they float). The VENTURE FM3 plates are lined polyurea to protect against UV, salt water, and gasoline.

Check out the VENTURE FM3 plates at Midwest Armor & Strategic Solutions.

TNVC just rolled out their new Helmet Builder program. This program gives helmet buyers that ability to start with a Rabintex NIJ IIIA Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) shell in the cut of their choice and then add only the items that they need from TNVC’s wide array of shrouds, mounts, rails, and suspension. This service is not only convenient but helmet buyers will pay less by bundling all of their helmet gear together.
