In a tweet that supporters are calling a brave act, former Texas Representative Ron Paul calls it like he sees it posting, “Chris Kyle’s death seems to confirm that ‘he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.’ Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn’t make sense.”

215 Gear has introduced a couple of innovative new Kydex inserts.
The first is a medical insert that transforms a standard double 30rd mag pouch into an IFAK. The insert offers a smooth design that easily conforms to a mag pouch and the 3′ of bungee allow you to set the insert up for easy access to your medical items by routing it through the grid.
The second insert is for more general purpose items. Officially named the 6 x 8 GP Insert, Kydex, it has got your EDC items covered. You use the adaptive design of the rigid insert combined with 6′ of shock cord to customize the carry of gear you need ready access to whether stored in a pouch, pack or pocket.

Mayflower has combined two great technologies for their new Low-Vis Blow-Out Kit (LVBOK). This two-piece, ambidextrous Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) is composed of a sleeve made from 4-way stretch fabric sewn to a base incorporating a Helium Whisper backer for attaching to PALS compatible equipment combined with a clamshell-style insert for your medical gear. The 4-way stretch sleeve makes it easier to store your medical gear yet deploy it quickly. You can mount the LVBOK anywhere on your kit including the belt making a great choice for small of the back wear. The insert is ambidextrous and can be deployed via pull handles with either hand.
The Low-Vis Blow-Out Kit (LVBOK) is available in MultiCam, Coyote Brown, and Black. Made in the USA!

Originally envisioned as an Alpine Litter, the Armadillo Litter is a joint project between Granite Gear and Remote Medical International.
Weighing in at ~15 lbs it’s made from a combination of carbon fiber and titanium. As it was developed for alpine use it can be used as a sled and they have lifted up to 2600 lbs without failure so theyre finding out that it can do way more than originally intended. Consequently, it’s currently undergoing airworthiness certification. Naturally, it all breaks down into standard litter size. This thing is cool.
