You may be familiar with Innovative Tactical Training Solutions whixh makes the Tommikin. It is a medical trauma training Mannikin offering realistic feedback including breathing, bleeding and sound. Now, they are introducing the K-9 Service Dog Trauma Mannikin which incorprates the same realistic breathing, bleeding and barking simulation, but for medics who work on K-9s. Additionally, this new model offers realistic weight as well as anatomical landmarks.
TYR Tactical unveiled their award winning Jungle Ruck. The bag is made from 500D Cordura and the pack and frame together weigh in at 5.1 lbs.
Offering 2500 cu in of load carrying capacity, it incorprates PALS webbing along the back to attach additional pouches. The sides are slick to make it easier to get through brush and wait-a-minute vines. The pack also comes with accessory pouches including a mesh beavertail. You may notice a horizontal zipper about halfway down the side of the pack. In addition to being a flat pocket, it contains a hanger that can suspend optional, external pockets when needed.
The frame comes in 20 & 22 inch lengths and is made from aluminum and carbon fiber. TYR built 14 iterations of the frame, balancing weight and strength, in order to get to this version.
Make sure you check out the entire Huron pack line by downloading the 2015 catalog.

Make sure you stop by OR’s booth in order to check out the new Muzzle Brake and Breech jungle uniforms available For order, starting today.
Both use OR’s Hybrid Mapped design technology and incorporate Insect Shield protection. The pocket are low profile in order to be used in conjunction with armor and packs. However, the Muzzle Brake is made from WL Gore’s new “jungle” fabric that we told you about during SOFIC, with knit stretch panels at the wrists, underarm, crotch and back yoke while the Breech is made from a stretchy spandex/nylon blend fabric reinforced with Superfabric at the elbows, knees and seat. Additionally, the Muzzle Brake is a more traditional blouse and trouser design whereas the Breech consists of a long sleeved shirt and trouser. Both are currently available in MultiCam but I have also seen a MARPAT Woodland variant of the Muzzle Brake.
