SOLKOA Survival Systems Launches New Website

Monday, July 2nd, 2018

SOLKOA Survival Systems is my favorite company for survival gear. Recently, they relaunched their website, adding the entire PRO-level Modules line as well as additional components and kits with over 50 unique items.

Additionally, based on recent demand from deploying warfighters whose units are unable to make organizational contract purchases through SOLKOA, they’ve now made several restricted kits available for individual purchase for active duty military, sworn law enforcement, or other at-risk government personnel deploying overseas. After vetting their credentials they can purchase kits with expanded capabilities that are normally restricted by ITAR or general sale to the public at large.

Now with the new website up, S3 intends to launch even more S3 components, task-focused modules/paks, and complete kits throughout the coming months including a Traveler line for global business and recreational travelers, as well as some new container form factors for carrying and packing your S3 contingency gear.

Lastly, as part of this launch and to celebrate our Independence Day, S3 is offering a sale of 10% off all products and free shipping for any retail orders over $50. The code for the discounts is: FREEDOM10 and will be good from now through midnight on July 4th, 2018.

The AEGIS Pocket Survival Kit by Fire Water Survival

Friday, June 15th, 2018

At Blade Show I met Craig Tonelli, owner of Fire Water Survival. He was showing the AEGIS Pocket Survival Kit, which boasts a rather unique combination of components.

When you first see it, it looks common enough, what with the 12 foot of 550 cord wrapping. But once you remove that, you expose what appears to be a metal capsule.

Turns out, it’s a collapsible metal cup which also stores the other components. In addition to the cordage and water purification capability, it also contains fishing kit, fire starter and cutting tool.

There is a larger kit named the Chief which is based on the same concept but with more of it.

Blade Show 18 – Exotac RipSPOOL

Sunday, June 3rd, 2018

If you were a BattlBox subscriber you’d already have a RipSPOOL. Exotac recently released the first batch through the monthly subscription box service.

Equipped with a fire cord lanyard so you won’t lose it (and start a fire), RipSpool is a mini repair kit. In addition to an outer wrapping of over 4′ of Duct Tape, the end cap is wound with 60′ of 30 lbs test line.

When you unscrew the end cap, it contains a #16 sail needle which is mounted inside the end cap so that it can be used as an awl. Additional dead space inside, leaves room for fish hooks or other small items.

Imminent Threat Solutions – SPIE Pouch

Monday, April 9th, 2018

The ITS SPIE Pouch (Special Purpose Insertion Extraction) provides a compact and versatile carrying method for your escape and evasion kit.

Whether your insertion is simply getting back into the door you just locked yourself out of, or your extraction is escaping from illegal restraint during a home invasion scenario, the SPIE Pouch has you covered.

The SPIE Pouch can be simply slipped into a pocket, routed horizontally on a belt through the elastic closure loops, or mounted vertically on a belt to facilitate working out of the pouch by pulling off the lower elastic loop (see photos).

The unique pouch design combines nylon webbing and elastic to create a very low-profile storage solution. Various stitched elastic-storage pockets allow you to easily organize tools so they’re easy to locate and access.

While designed to hold the contents of the SPIE Kit (available as an add on product) the SPIE Pouch is only limited by your imagination. It’s available in Black, Coyote and MultiCam, the ITS SPIE Pouch is handmade in the USA from Berry compliant materials.
