The Individual First Aid Kit, aka the IFAK, is a concept that exploded during the Global War on terror. No longer was Doc the only guy carrying trauma gear. Every Marine and Soldier is equipped with an IFAk and if their leadership isn’t a failure they’ll know how to use it. An IFAK is a […]
I had a chance back in August to get my hands on another excellent fire starting product from Exotac. Back then, the nanoSPARK was at the end of a successful Kickstarter campaign and had just started shipping orders out to the backers. I was really impressed with the product back then and now that they […]
A closer look at my personal survival kit Not too long ago I wrote an article on what to include in your personal survival kit. I’ve tweaked things a bit since then and upgraded a few components of my kit. Check out the following video for a closer look. As I said in the video, […]
The UCO Stormproof Survival kit comes with a few items; a Mylar Tube Tent that comes compact and can be used in all-weather conditions and is great for retaining and reflecting body heat. Additionally it can hold two adults and comes with nylon cord to string it up, but that only helps if you have […]
I typically approach pre-packaged survival kits with a bit of skepticism. Typically a pre-built kit is crap if I can be blunt. Maybe this is because I’ve never experienced a quality made survival kit. I typically say make your own, but the ESEE Advanced Survival Kit is changing my mind. The other pre-made kits I’ve […]
ESEE Advanced Survival Kit In my initial overview of the ESEE Advanced survival kit we covered how most pre-made survival kits are crap, but the ESEE Advanced kit is the exception. The kit is easily the highest quality one I’ve ever seen. The products included aren’t bargain bin junk posing as survival. This stuff is […]
Recently I saw an ad on Facebook for an item called the PACElid. A PACElid is a cap that also functions as a storage container for your wide mouth Nalgene, Kleen Kanteen, and Camelbak water bottles. It looked like an interesting concept so I ordered one. The PACElid is made from a high impact plastic, […]
I received the SUMA Elite Kit (aka SUMA Pro) Large several months ago from Precision Rifle Supply. I finally had a chance to put most of the kit through its paces on a camping trip to Lake Pemaquid campground in Maine. My daughters helped me build a fishing rod, which I took a picture of (or so I […]
What a treat to be able to preview AND review a survival kit, such as the SOLKOA Suma Pro Survival Kit available at Precision Rifle Supply. When it first arrived, my initial thought was….SWEET…nice and compact. When we plan for any kind of adventure, be it on land or on the water, most new comers don’t […]
Compact survival kits are somewhat of a popular item in this day and age. The most common one you probably hear about is the Altoid tin survival kit (common among the bushcrafting community). This is a great concept, but the issue I commonly have is the size of the tin and the quality of the materials […]
