Jack: “Hey, what more can a guy ask for?”
Egg Shen: “Oooohh…..a six demon bag!”
Jack: “Terrific. A six demon bag. Sensational. What’s in it?”
Egg Shen: “Wind. Fire. All that kind of thing!”
DJ at American Kami has been working on THE SHIIT (Situational Heavyduty Idiots Implement Technical) BAG for quite awhile now. He’s a knife maker and not a nylon guy but he set out to design one hell of a bag. And he’s succeeded.
Right up front you have to put a few things into perspective.
1. American Kami’s THE SHIIT BAG is not for everyone.
2. American Kami’s THE SHIIT BAG is a very specialized piece of kit.
3. American Kami’s THE SHIIT BAG is built in limited runs.
4. American Kami’s THE SHIIT BAG is Made in USA.
All of this adds up to an expensive bag.
This thing is so packed with features that the only way to really learn about it is via video.
Here’s the timeline:
1. Order books close next Tuesday, 10 September, at 11.59PM CST. I will require all payments to be processed by then.
2. Wednesday morning, I submit the final count to the vendor and they start rocking out the production.
3. 8-10 weeks later, finished bags arrive here.
4. I pay the vendor.
5. I do a complete individual QC check on each bag setup, pack, and ship.
6. Your bag arrives.
7. We all do our happy dance.
The complete kit comes with:
1. The bag.
2. The strap.
3. The strap pad.
4. The flap.
5. Two tear out dividers with internal, top loading, Velcro closure pockets.
6. Ten single sided Velcro MOLLE/PALS Ripstrips.
7. Five double sided Velcro MOLLE/PALS Ripstrips.
8. The MBS holster.
Total price per kit is $624 plus USPS priority insured shipping.
US Palm offers a V2 model of their popular Attack RACK designed specifically for use with the AK family of weapons. This version incorporates 4 30 AK magazine pouches and two adjustable-flap magazine/utility pouches as well as PALS webbing on either side for radio, IFAK or other pouches.
Additionally, The large zippered main pocket can accommodate extra magazines or other larger pieces of gear with the side-top seams split open as well and accept holster inserts. The bottom of the carrier provides access to the armor pocket, which accommodates a Level IIIA insert. The AK Attack RACK utilizes an H-type harness. Offered in A-TACS AU, Black, Coyote, Multicam, Ranger Green.
Available with or without a Level IIIA soft armor insert.
Tools needed: 4 hands, Phillips screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, some patience, and tons of swearing. Installing a HSGI TACO onto anything is not fun. This is ESPECIALLY NOT FUN. But the end result is worth the hassle. Just another thing you can do with this handy piece of kit.
Adjustable to securely fit: 1 inch – 3 inch belts in 3/8 inch increments. Move retention Post-nut/Screw assembly up or down the face of the PUP in a “diagonal checkers jump” to designated belt width fit. Further fit is controlled by adjusting tension on rubber washers of the Belt retention Post-nut/Screw. Tighten the screw, the rubber washers expand, and retention increases.
Btw, my friend Andrew Bawidamann shared a sneak peek at his latest piece, a Spartan Girl. That guy is like a bottle of fine wine. He gets better and better with age.
This photo from Mayflower customer CT shows that you can use that UW Gen IV chest rig for things other than just carrying magazines. Just show this photo to your wife or SO before you purchase one as a means to persuade them that it truly is a great investment.
The cleverly named Cat Trap is a PALS compatible carrier for the issue CAT tourniquet. Quite simply, it uses shock cord and a cordloc to secure it and adjust the tension.
Additionally, there is an adapter that flips everything sideways for horizontal carry.
Available in Multicam, Coyote 498, Ranger Green, and Black.
This Pouch holds 2 x 30 rd mags. Additionally, it incorporates a Velcro lined pocket for medium sized fixed blade knife behind the flap. Considering how many guys are carrying knives on their kit these days, it’s great to see a pouch designed from the outset to integrate a sheath. Naturally, it is also PALS compatible.
Available in Coyote Brown, Ranger Green, MultiCam, Black, and Khaki.
