Manage Your 550 Cord With The SpoolTool From Tricorne

August 5th, 2013

The SpoolTool is a pretty cool gadget designed to carry 100′ of 550 cord and incorporates not only a cutting blade but also these series of notches for burning the ends of the cord as well as a holder for a Bic lighter. Everything you need to organize and use 550. Sure, some of you guys will spend an exhaustive amount of energy complaining about this and how it’s not needed. But I don’t really give a shit about your petty complaints. Haters gonna Hate and I’m a fan of a better mouse trap meaning I am going to buy one. Aside from some solid innovation, one of the other things I like about this is that Tricorne LLC is a Veteran owned business.

The World’s Smallest Political Quiz

August 5th, 2013

While SSD is not a political blog, I thought that our readers might enjoy this simple tool to help examine their political beliefs. The Advocates For Self Government’s “The World’s Smallest Political Quiz” examines beliefs in personal liberty and economic issues to determine the participant’s political beliefs. With only 10 questions, it doesn’t look at every issue, and certainly not in any detail but it does give a general sense of where you fit in. Mine seemed to be in the right ball park. Enjoy!

Thanks to RYP for the find!

Adventure Underwear – Travel Briefs

August 5th, 2013

Ok, so it’s another pair of Merino underwear, and granted, these are made from Australian Merino wool rather than the New Zealand variety, but that isn’t what’s really interesting about these. It’s the two pockets that make these stand out. The first, the quick access pocket, is large enough to store money, credit cards, and other small items you’d need quick access to. The larger pocket is made from 100% recyclable new age polyethylene and is certified waterproof up to 200ft deep by Scuba Schools International.

Outdoor Retailer – Sterling Rope

August 5th, 2013

There are two types of rope; Dynamic Kern Mantle that is used for climbing and stretches to absorb the energy of a fall and Static which is used for rescue work, rappelling and hauling because there is little to no stretch.

Search and Rescue teams constantly demand that industry push the envelope, balancing size and weight of ropes with performance. Sterling offers the TechStatic line to satisfy these requirements. It incorporates Technora offering increased abrasion, cut and heat resistance.

TechStatic offers three different diameters as standard ropes. From right to left, the largest is a 9.5mm called the Tactical Response which offers 27kn of strength. Basically, the same strength as a more traditional 11mm rope. Next is the 7.5mm. It’s a 25kn rope utilizing 100% Technora fibers and integrates perfectly with the F4 escape system. That’s a mini evacuation or access system. It’s often used by Snipers to get in and out of remote hides. Finally, the 6mm rope is used when space and weight are at a premium. Offering 15.5kn, you still get a 10-to-1 safety advantage.

All of the Sterling ropes are offered in various color schemes. Additionally, Sterling has a more extensive line of ropes for more specialized applications. All Strerling Rope Co ropes are Made in USA.

Survival T from Warrior Culture

August 4th, 2013

I like the graphics on this new Warrior Survival T-shirt.

At Warrior Culture Gear we believe in 3 Principals of Survival:

Wherever: Whether the deep forest, the urban sprawl or the mountains of hindu kush, you must ALWAYS be prepared for any survival situation arises where your life or the lives of those you love are in jeopardy from whatever the situation you are

Wherever: Whenever a situation arises where your life or the lives of those you love are in jeopardy from whatever the situation you are in, you must be prepared for it.

However: However and whatever means necessary for your survival and the survival of those you love, whether it be as simple as starting a fire or defending yourself with an AR15, you do what is necessary at all time at ALL costs.
