Mystery Ranch – RFAK Is Now Available

March 11th, 2016

If you’re like me, you’re asking yourself, “what is in RFAK?” Turns out, the answer is simpler than I thought.

The new Removable First Aid Kit (RFAK) replaces the MR IFAK and was created at the request of a rather well known guy out of Camp Lejeuene.  It’s named Removable because it incorporates an insert which holds the medical items and can be removed from the pouch. 

 

Inside the RFAK, the medical contents are contained in an expandable bundle with elastic webbing and held to the pouch with velcro. The outside container is essentially a durable shell for the contents. A pull of the handle allows quick, one-handed access to all the contents. This allows for easier and quicker self-aid or handing off to a buddy.

  

Available Coyote, OD and MultiCam, the RFAK is available from www.mysteryranch.com/RFAK.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Bullfrog

March 11th, 2016

For this week’s Friday Focus, we’re taking a look at the FS Bullfrog.

Bullfrog_Back

The Bullfrog is one of the latest in FirstSpear’s line of user driven Maritime Plate Carriers, designed to fill the role of a passive/slightly positive approach for a Maritime Carrier, as requested by select FirstSpear end users. In that regard, the Bullfrog utilizes a unique foam insert that has been environmentally sealed in a watertight nylon laminate; the foams have been constructed in specific layers and densities so that the maximum amount of flexibility with the lowest possible amount of bulk is achieved.

BouyancyCompensators

The Bullfrog also utilizes the FS standard Buoyancy Compensators in the front and rear, which provide 5 lbs. of lift each, and is also adaptable to the belt mounted TFSS Flotation system, or various Flotation Collars. The Bullfrog is best paired with either FS’ Neutrally Buoyant Ballistic Plate, or the FS Patrol Plate.

SealedFlotationInserts

Currently available in Coyote, in either Medium or Large SAPI plate cut.

Skidplate

FirstSpear also wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the Skid Plate. The Skid Plate is an accessory designed for SAPI Plate Carriers, used for long-term high abrasion-resistant protection for plate carriers exposed to the abuse from caving ladders and other cable assist climbing implements. Despite the appearance and feel of the high tenacity fibers used in the construction of the Skid Plate, it is not ballistic. It’s also only available in black.
