Vigilant Gear Micro SERE Kit

By on January 15, 2014 in EDC, Survival, Tactical Gear

Vigilant Gear has access to all the best survival and E&E tools. They know the tools inside and out. It makes absolutely perfect sense that they would start offering their own kits.

The first kit to be available through Vigilant Gear is the Micro SERE Kit. It is, as the name implies, a very compact E&E kit. How compact? I’m glad you asked. The entire kit will be 2.3″ x 1.8″ x .5″.  You could hide it under a business card! It’s definitely small.

You can see the contents of the kit in this image that Vigilant Gear produced (below).

Appalachian Training LTC Level IV Stand Alone Plates and EOC Combo

By on January 14, 2014 in Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear, Tactics and Training

If you are looking for a deal on armor plates, Appalachian Training has you covered (that’s a little armor humor for you). They are selling the LTC Level IV Stand Alone Plates for just $149.95 each or as part of a very slick combo which saves you even more money.

EOC-PKG-4

The LTC Level IV Stand Alone Plate is a single curve, 10″ x 12″, shooters cut plate. They are .73″ thick and weigh 8.25 pounds each.

Appalachian Training has this to say about the plates:

This rig is fully capable for the occasional class, bail-out or truck rig, or any contingency that will require a limited use. While this is US made and quality, the design is not one that we would recommend for constant hard-use (LE, PMC, .mil). In our experience this design is a perfect balance for the US citizen that need an armor solution, but may not require the full features of a LWPC, LPAAC, or our APC.

This plate is also available as part of a combo that includes 2 plates, a Mission Spec EOC Carrier, and shoulder pads.

SHOT Show E&E Kit from SerePick

By on January 13, 2014 in EDC, Survival

Oh no! You’re pinned down by a talkative product rep who is bending your ear about how awesome the Taurus Judge is. Its time to put your SHOT Show E&E plan into action and this SHOT Show exclusive, custom kit from SerePick just might help (if the Taurus rep has physically restrained you in some way which I doubt they would, but still… you never know).

This kit will only be available at the SHOT Show and you are going to have to track down Matt at SerePick to get one. They will cost $50 or you can potentially barter for them (I suggest good bourbon or maybe comfortable walking shoes, those would be worth a mint on the show floor).

SerePick SHOT Show Kit

The kit consists of a compact plastic case and several other useful items…

  • Bogota Nano Entry Toolset
  • Quick Stick X2
  • EZ Decoder X2
  • Polymer Universal Handcuff Key X2
  • Steel Split Pawl Handcuff Shim X2
  • Glue Dots X2

You will have to add your own pocket change because the dime in the photo is just there for scale. This kit is tiny.

BladeBombLogoOn Jerking the Trigger, I have always tried to shine a light on small businesses who are doing innovative and noteworthy things in the realm of firearms and tactical gear. My goal is to do the same thing for the knife industry with my new site, BladeBomb.com.

Blade Bomb is going to be a clearinghouse for news about edged tools and related gear with an emphasis on spotlighting the little guy. I want to show you makers that you might never hear about without a site like Blade Bomb. I want to uncover the craftsmen that are making amazing knives right in your neighborhood. They are everywhere, doing amazing things with their own two hands and I intend to show you.

TIHK at Vigilant Gear

By on January 10, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

You can always count on Vigilant Gear to carry the most interesting E&E/urban survival gear. Their latest addition is the TIHK or Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key.

TIHK at Vigilant Gear

TIHK is a very compact, non-ferrous, handcuff key with a built in clip that makes it easy to carry in a number of ways including on your rear belt loop where it is accessible in the event that you are cuffed behind your back. The TIHK was designed as a discreet, EDC handcuff key for the purposes of evading unlawful arrest such as those traveling in hostile countries or to aid in escape from home invasions.
