SHOT Show – CRKT – PARA-SAW Survival Bracelet

Wednesday, January 29th, 2014

You see survival bracelets made from 550 cord everywhere these days so it takes something a little different to catch my eye. The new PARA-SAW Survival Bracelet from CRKT did just that. In addition to a tungsten carbide coated stainless steel wire saw concealed in a plastic sleeve that is woven into the bracelet’s 550 cord, CRKT has introduced 4 Stokes Paracord Bracelet Accessories.

The accessories can be slid unto most bracelet configurations and combine various capabilities including Compass & LED, Compass & Fire Starter, Bottle Opener and the LED-Compass & Fire Starter model seen below.

Available in at Tan or Green, sizes Small and Large.

OR – Bison Designs – Kool Tool Line

Tuesday, January 28th, 2014

Coming soon from Bison Designs is the Kool Tool Belt.

As you can see, the magic of the Kool Tool Belt is in the buckle which serves as a mini tool kit. I had a chance to meet Brian Kelleghan, the owner of Bison Designs and he showed me a couple of other new items. I like that they continue to introduce new products and have beyond the web belt designs that have become a staple of virtually every outdoor store. In addition to the belt, Bison Deaigns is also set to release a couple of different models of the Kool Tool including Klip, Klip-Biker and Karabiner. These are all key chain-based tools and Kelleghan has built them to be TSA-compliant. As a demonstration, he sent three through the x-ray with his carry-on luggage and put three in a bowl with his keys. None raised an eyebrow. While this isn’t a comprehensive evaluation of the how the products will fare with your local TSA office, it’s a good indicator. And remember, every TSA officer interprets the rules in his or her own way.

In one corner, Bison Designs had a small display of Boy Scout items and it turns out that Kelleghan is a fellow Eagle Scout and Scout Leader. He manufactures multiple licensed items for BSA, including a couple of products that I know he has got to be losing money on. But that’s the way of the organization. Most of us don’t expect to get back what we put in.

Bison Designs is an innovative company that builds some great products. Check them out.

Patriot3 Jetboots Approved For Military Use By The US DoD

Friday, November 22nd, 2013

After several years of extensive testing and development, Patriot3’s Jetboots have received AMU Certification by the US Department of Defense.

The Jetboots Diver Propulsion System, J-DPS is a unique, patented (US Patent 6,823,813) hands-free diver propulsion system designed specifically for the military and commercial diver.

Already adopted by NATO forces for combat swimmer applications, J-DPS is virtually silent. Unlike other propulsion devices, it is hands free and allows the diver to accomplish other tasks.

J-DPS makes finning a thing of the past. With a range in excess of two miles traditional fins are relegated to controlling attitude and direction. J-DPS allows a diver to arrive fresh at a target as well as extending the life of an open circuit rig through lower exertion.

Contact Patriot3 at info@Patriot3.com for pricing and availability.
