Premium Survival Storage Capsule in Titanium

Prometheus Design Werx releases their new Ti-Survival Stash Tube for wilderness carry. This compact, pocket sized, weatherproof storage capsule is machined from 6AL-4V titanium billet and features a built-in 100M depth rated button compass, knurled cap, o-ring sealed, anti-roll body, neck down design for wrapping Type 1 cordage, Dyneema, to fishing line, and a built-in recessed striker strip for strike anywhere type matches. The overall dimensions are small enough to be easily carried, stowed in any pack, and stow fire making supplies for wilderness survival. As with all PDW EDC tool designs, form follows function with refined attentive details.

The Ti-SST from Prometheus Design Werx comes in a fine matte industrial finish and includes 7.5’ of Type 1 accessory cord for the user to wrap if wished.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“The PDW Ti-SST was designed to be a part of any user’s essential wilderness EDC. Small and compact in size to be easily stashed in any pocket, backpack, and can also be worn around the neck with cordage. This type of storage capsule is made with premium materials and components, excellent craftsmanship, and smart, purpose driven design. While clearly inspired by the classic waterproof match case, the versions designed by our Founder and Chief Designer Patrick Ma, have been a life long product interest elevating users’ expectations and delivering the highest quality of make and expanded functionality in a finished good in this genre. These wilderness survival tools were created for the discerning and discriminating user who wants and expects more in their everyday carry items.”

VSSL has added a first aid kit to their line of waterproof tubular gear kits. They are pretty handy, and can be kept in vehicles or pantries, or even carried an impact for hiking.

They’ve created a roll up insert which keeps the gear organized and allows you to either customize or restock specific items. The other side of the insert features instructions.

And, like every other VSSL Kit, the end cap features a flashlight. In this case, the other end is a compass.

Shomer-Tec Escape & Survival Module

Saturday, March 9th, 2019

IMG_7588

The Escape & Survival Module was developed for a US military unit, but it also can be a lifesaving device for those who travel in harm’s way or in dangerous regions. This kit provides effective tools to enable escape from captivity and subsequent survival. It’s all contained in a special o-ring sealed module which was designed to provide maximum concealment options when capture is imminent.

Despite its small size, it includes all of the following components: 4 lock picks, handcuff key, 2 styles of lock shims, Kevlar® escape saw, diamond rod saw, ferrocerium fire rod, 3 waxed jute fire starters, and ceramic razor blade. Even the module itself is a working component – it’s milled from magnesium and can be shaved down with the back edge of the ceramic razor blade for fire starting. Also included is a small packet of petrolatum (does not fit inside the module), for uses that include first aid, fire accelerant, etc.

Government contract over-runs, so quantities are very limited. Dimensions and weight (w/o petrolatum packet): 3.2” length x 0.7” diameter, 1.1 oz.
