20$Bandit Ultralight First Aid Kit Prototype

By Matt on August 20, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival

20$Bandit is always bouncing around ideas and prototypes. Every once in a while Eric, the man behind 20$Bandit, lets us in on what is on his work bench. This is one of those times. Feast your eyes on this 3 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ x 1/2″, 2.6 ounce first aid kit.

The kit is designed to be an inexpensive, single use kit for the outdoorsman. It is small enough and light enough to be carried in a shirt pocket yet well stocked enough to treat an array of boo-boos. It will also fit in the Mini-Kit MK7.

This kit doesn’t have a name yet so feel free to make a suggestion in the comments below. It should be available soon from 20$Bandit.

UW Gear News

UW Gear just completed a refresh on their website. The updated site is now easier to navigate and has been updated to reflect the new MKIII versions of all their chest rigs, mag pouches, and bandoleers.

In other exciting news, the new streamlined production processes put in place to create the MKIII versions of their gear have reduced and continue to reduce their lead times. I have been using one of the Swampfox MKIII Chest Rigs for the last several months and can happily report that they are just as good as the MKII, if not better. Stay tuned for the full comparison.

RE Factor Tactical Operator Plus

By Matt on August 19, 2014 in EDC, Survival, Tactical Gear

The RE Factor Tactical Operator Band Plus is typically only released every once in a while on a limited basis. It has all the same functionality as the original Operator Band but adds a special hybrid buckle. Like the normal Operator Band buckle, it has a hidden handcuff key which can be used to escape illegal detainment (or other compromising situations). However, this version of the buckle also has an integrated whistle which can be used to wreak absolute havoc at your local aquarium’s trained dolphin performance. I guess it could be used to signal your location in an emergency too.

The Operator Band plus will only be available until August 31st and includes the follow:

Hybrid Handcuff Key/Whistle Buckle
12′ of 550 Paracord
30′ of 80lb Test Spider Wire Fishing Line
Fishing Hook
18″ of 45lb test Eagle Claw Snare Wire
P51 Can Opener
Flint Fire Starter
Suunto Clipper Compass (OPTIONAL)
