Gearward – AK Band

Tuesday, May 13th, 2014

The Gearward AK Band, short for Anti-Kidnapping Band, is a micro escape kit. Designed to look inconspicuous on any black digital watch band, the AK Band consists of a segment of tube that conceals a ceramic razor blade, universal polymer handcuff key, and a pre-tied 4′ Kevlar friction saw, giving the user the functionality to escape from a variety of restraints including zip ties, handcuffs, and duct tape. The AK Band can be useful as a piece of E&E gear as part of a layered SERE plan.

The AK Band is assembled in the USA out of US and Canadian components.

Survival.Signal.Rescue Panel

Monday, May 12th, 2014

Developed by a friend of SSD, the Survival.Signal.Rescue Panel or SAR Panel is a multipurpose signal panel designed to help the user survive and get rescued in an emergency situation.

The top side is composed of NSI/ISEA 107-2010 compliant high-visibility material, designed to reflect light in either day or night conditions. A center pocket stores the included 20ft. of 400lb break strength kevlar cord, and the entire panel can be stored within the pocket when not in use. High contrast black webbing is sewn around the edges, providing strong attachment points for the included cord.

The bottom side is composed of a US manufactured heat-reflective Mylar, thicker than a standard space blanket. In addition to the signaling and marking functionality, the SSR panel can be used as a sun shade, and the integral pocket can hold hand-warmer and be wrapped around the user’s chest, while the Mylar side is positioned outward to reflect and trap heat in the core. The Mylar is also waterproof so the SSR can be used as a rain cover.

The SSR Panel is currently up for funding on Kickstarter. Funding is going towards ordering the product materials, all produced in the USA. Project rewards include the SSR panel itself, up to a package including a GPS beacon, infrared strobe, and additional survival items.

Cody Lundin Fired from ‘Dual Survival’

Tuesday, February 18th, 2014

Yesterday, Cody Lundin, star of Discovery Channel’s hit show ‘Dual Survival‘ and renown trainer in Aboriginal Living Skill posted this to his Facebook Page.

Dual Survival Update

Dear Campers,
Unfortunately, I have been fired by Discovery Channel for differences over safety and health concerns on the show and will no longer be a part of Dual Survival.

Although I’ll miss elements of the show, what I’ll miss the most are my fans and the opportunity to teach – on a global level – life saving skills, indigenous culture, and values of integrity and respect toward our natural world.

I have received numerous letters from viewers. Many are from kids, or their parents or grandparents, describing in detail how the show has changed their lives. It has brought families together, inspired kids to go outdoors, and motivated moms and dads around the world to take that family camping trip, many for the first time. If I can use a TV show to encourage people to turn off TV and turn on nature, I have done my job.

Thank you all very much for your support over the years. Be safe and prepared, and maybe I’ll train with you in the woods some day!

Stay classy,
Cody Lundin

OR – Ultimate Survival Technologies – ParaHatchet

The ParaHatchet from Ultimate Survival Technologies features a 5mm stainless steel handle/blade and is wrapped in 8.2′ of either Orange or Glow In The Dark paracord. The blade integrates 3 hex wrenches and a rope cutter. It’s affordably priced and is the kind of insurance I’d throw in the trunk with a survival kit.
