FirstSpear Friday Focus – Exigent Circumstance Pack

Friday, May 6th, 2016

ECP_RG_0679

For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at the Exigent Circumstance Pack. The Exigent Circumstance Pack, or ECP, is an assault pack that can be quickly attached to a vest or worn in stand-alone mode, either as a backpack or single-strap bag. The ECP features a removable beavertail flap, which secures with shock cord and provides enough space to hold a helmet, or a positive air breathing system such as the CV420. The pocket within the exterior flap is sized to hold the Avon M53 Series Protective Mask, and features an elastic daisy chain for flash-bang or smoke grenades. Additionally, the rear-most pocket will hold a 3 liter hydration reservoir or the included comfort pad.

Warrior West – Scuba Pro Jet Fins

Thursday, May 5th, 2016

Scuba Pro’s Jet Fins have been around for over 50 years so chances are good that you’ve probably worn a pair if you’ve spent anytime in the water, diving or swimming. For years they were available in any color as long as it was Black but recently, they’ve introduced a wide variety of colors. Now, they can do patterns and what you see below is a mixture of their Green and Black. It was just an experiment to see what the attendees at Warrior West thought, but I asked if I could share it the readers of SSD as well. So what do you think?

I’d also like to share that the Jet Fins are no longer made overseas but production has been moved to Los Angeles, California. It’s nice to see manufacturing moved here for a change.

Warrior West – Phokus Research Groups Helps ‘Stop The Bleed’

Thursday, May 5th, 2016

DHS has a new campaign called ‘Stop the Bleed‘ and Phokus Research Group has introduced a new line of products for institutional use. Phokus works with the user group to create bundles of their Individual Active Shooter Throw Kits in different configurations. The design is Modular. The Throw Kits attach to the larger bags via Velcro allowing a wide variety of load outs and quick deployment when they are needed. Additionally, each Throw Kit is poly bagged with zipper entry so you not only can see what’s in it, but also maintain it.

For example, the kit above is a bit more extensive and offers additional tools aside from the Individiual Active Shooter Throw Kits. It could be stored at an entry control point.

This is the Active Shooters Bag which might go in a patrol car or stored at a central location on each floor of a building. It can be hung when needed and the six Throw Kits quickly put into action.

Each Individiual Active Shooter Throw Kits contains:

-1 x Tourniquet (CAT or SOFTT-W)
-1 x Combat Gauze
-1 x Chest Seal
-1 x Frog Guaze (Z-fold nonwoven gauze)
-1 x Frog Tape (6 x 2″x9″ strips of medical tape)
-1 x Pair of Nitrile Gloves
