Plano has been molding plastics since 1932. In 1952 they introduced the first plastic tackle box. For many years they’ve been making some awesome ammo boxes. Now, after five years of development, they’ve introduced a family of mil-spec rifle and pistol shipping cases.
The 44″ and 54″ also offer ball bearing wheels for a smooth pull.
The Widepac D|vide is a dual-compartment hydration bladder which allows the user two sources of hydrating fluid from a single system. Available in 2L and 3L sizes, both compartments within the D|vide are flexible, designed that either alone is capable of taking up the full size of the bladder, allowing for whatever split of fluids the user wants.
The D|vide uses two different colored tubes, for identifying which tube feeds to which compartment. The most obvious use for this system is a split between water and a sports drink, although that’s ultimately up to the end user.

Grayl is a portable water filtration system which functions similarly to a French Press. It consists of an 18/8 stainless steel inner ‘press’ cup, the filter which attaches to the inner cup, and the BPA-free plastic outer cup. The user fills the outer cup with water, then presses the inner cup into the outer cup, where the water is then filtered and delivered into the inner cup.
Grayl offers multiple filters for use with the system. Their strongest filter, the Travel purifier, utilizes a patented triple-charged mesh which traps pathogens, natural carbon (made from coconut shells) which traps heavy metals and chemicals, and an integrated anti-microbial agent which suppresses the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. It is guaranteed to improve taste and smell of filtered water, along with filtering out 99.999% or more of bacteria, protozoan cysts, and viruses.
BELLINGHAM, Washington – Mustang Survival® announced today that it will be expanding its suite of water rescue solutions. Driven by end-user inputs and engagement, the suite will now include products designed to enable previously unreachable levels of performance.
To allow swift water rescue professionals to focus on the task at hand instead of worrying about their own safety, Mustang Survival is introducing the following new products:
• Rescue Swimmer Vest – Hailed as the first rescue swimmer vest to turn a compliance device into a tactical piece of equipment that actually helps get the job done. Designed for the performance-driven public safety water professional who can’t afford to be impeded by extra gear, this vest blends two of Mustang Survival’s core competencies – inflatable flotation and foam flotation – to offer a slim profile flotation solution. Model # MRV170.
• High Visibility Dry Suits – Two favorites will soon be available in high visibility fluorescent yellow-green. The station-use Swift Water Rescue Dry Suit and the Sentinel™ Series Swift Water Rescue Dry Suit will soon be the first ever dry suits made of military-grade fluorescent yellow-green GORE-TEX® fabric. Extensive field testing has proven these suits to be more visible in a rescue environment than any other. Model #s MSD576 and MSD624.
• Thermal Base Layers – Designed as part of a full thermal management system, these two new base layer options have been constructed for optimal compatibility with Mustang Survival dry suits. Available in a midweight and lightweight version, each solution will be offered as a two-piece set made of the highest quality Polartec® materials to provide optimal flexibility based on mission profile. Model #s MSL602, MSL603, MSL604, MSL605.
• Headwear – Keep the head warm, keep the body warm. A ball cap and fitted toque will soon be available to keep cold temperatures at bay. The toque is designed to be worn on land or under your helmet for cold weather operations. Model #s MSL606, MA7000.
“Our team is committed to supporting elite water rescue professionals in their pursuit of unobstructed performance,” said Dave Abt, Public Safety Business Development of Mustang Survival. “This new product suite not only takes care of their safety, it augments their abilities to put performance at the forefront of every mission.”

Sidney, Illinois, April 9, 2015: Smith & Bradley, the maker of tactical and sport watches representing three successful Kickstarter campaigns, will be launching its fourth Kickstarter project, The Beacon is a unique outdoor survival box combining waterproof storage for electronics, solar charging, and LED beacon signaling.
Enclosed in a light and rugged, efficiently sized package, the Beacon unleashes the power of solar energy to not only charge, but protect, electronic devices. Further, true to its name, the Beacon comes equipped LED lighting for both emergency situations and casual use as well. These lights are not after-thought add-on’s, but rather first rate lighting solutions. The entire package is crush-proof, waterproof, submersible, and floats even with an electronic device enclosed.
The Beacon represents a first-of-its-kind combination of charging, solar, lighting, and waterproof technology. The Beacon allows for storage of two typical mobile phones, contains 3 USB charging ports that can all be used at same time, and a Polymer lithium ion battery. The battery is charged either by traditional wall socket charging or through the Beacon’s high capacity solar panel on the top of the case. The Beacon goes beyond a mere gadget, or drugstore charger. It is a tool that is an absolute necessity for anyone who ventures outside of the urban jungle.

Rob Clark is an old friend of mine who is also an avid climber and mountaineer. He has come up with a carbon fiber and aluminum container. Completely waterproof, and lightweight due to the materials, the Case can be used to store anything from a basic medical kit, survival gear, etc. But, it also happens to be a great crush proof storage for cigars. The final Case will be available in two sizes: long and short. Also, check out the Tactical Distributors jacket that Rob is wearing.
