SOFREP Launches The Load Out Room

March 1st, 2012

Brandon Webb, the boss over at SOFREP told me last week that they would be launching a new section on their site that would be gear centric. I mean after all, you can’t write about SOF and ignore all of the cool gadgets and gear associated with the business.

He sent along this message as well…

“Me and the former Editors at Kit Up are really excited to bring you guys unencumbered hard core reviews on our favorite guns and gear.

I want to give a special thanks to Eric Graves for all his support and encouragement when I told him we were striking out on our own. It’s all about long term relationships with our core audience and other link minded blogs. The Loadout Room looks forward to a long relationship with our friends over at Soldier Systems Daily. It’s a daily read for me. Enjoy our new site!”

Tac Med Surgical Airway Kit – Hard CaseADS

March 1st, 2012

The Tac Med Surgical Airway Kit – Hard Case is specifically designed to successfully establish and secure a surgical airway in any environment. Don’t let the “surgical” term in the name fool you into thinking this is intended solely for treatment facilities. Sure, it’s a great kit for clinical use, but it’s real forte is field use. That’s why all of the components are packed into a re-usable hard case that can double as a temporary sharps container or function as a drug box after the kit is used.

The case opens and lays flat creating a work surface while performing the procedure. The kit’s dimensions were based on a standard M-4 magazine pouch, allowing the kit to be stored in a pouch outside of the medics’ bag for rapid access. All components are sterile and ready to use so no time is wasted opening several packages to complete the procedure.

Contents Include:
– Tracheostomy tube (cuffed)
– Tac Med Trach Tool
– 3cc syringe
– Serpent hook
– Alcohol swabs
– Gloves

The full line of Tac Med Solutions products are available for agency and unit purchase through www.adsinc.com/tactical-medical-solutions.

War Sport Industries has introduced their new Cable & Accessory Management System for the Ops-Core FAST Helmet or other helmets with ventilation holes. As you can see it is a bungee system that will hall manage cables as thick as .65″. Granted, it is a very specialized item, but it is an innovative idea. I expect we will see some further development from War Sport.

Coming March 30th from warsport-us.net.

Bushnell 3 Gun Belt

February 29th, 2012


The Bushnell 3 Gun competition belt system is an interesting take on the gun belt. There is no buckle to snag but rather relies on a Velcro wrap.

So far, we’ve only seen them in this Brown/OD combo but they are available in four sizes (Med – 2 XLarge) from www.midsouthshooterssupply.com.

Spartan Tactical

February 29th, 2012


Spartan Tactical is owned and operated by decorated combat veteran Jim Smith. Jim is a former US Army Special Ops Operator and has more than 25 years of tactical firearms instruction experience. Jim was the primary sniper in Blackhawk ‘Super 61’ during the “Blackhawk Down” incident in Mogadishu, Somalia for which he was awarded the Sliver Star and Purple Heart. He is a certified FBI Combatives Instructor, Federal Firearms Instructor and a SOTIC Certified Sniper Instructor. Jim and his team have trained numerous US military units and foreign military units along with both state and federal law enforcement agencies. However, due to the drawdown in deployments, Spartan Tactical is adapting with the market and introducing civilian training and hunting courses.

This video is an example of a 3-day long-range precision shooting course hosted by Grey Group Training. As you can imagine, this is Jim’s forte and it will give you an idea of the level of instruction Spartan Tactical provides. Regardless of the type of training, the courses consist of classes followed by demonstrations, training and practice.

Additionally, Spartan Tactical has its own range complex, located on a 17 square-mile ranch in a remote area of Texas that boasts similar terrain to Africa or Afghanistan.

Solar Stik WASP 30

February 29th, 2012

I met Solar Stik a few years ago at Modern Day Marine and they’ve been in the business of providing green energy solutions to Government for some time. The thing about green energy is that you have to embrace it rather than looking at it as some kind of hippy cause. Think of it from the viewpoint a survivor on a desert isle, where you have to harness all of your resources. Chances are good that there is plenty of sun and wind when you are deployed but you aren’t getting it to work for you. Both of those resources can be used to produce power. In fact, once you adopt that mindset, you might consider Solar Stik’s WASP as a manportable solar generator.

Solar Stik developed the WASP in cooperation with another company, Orlando, Florida based Advanced Power Electronics Corporation (ApECOR). ApECOR’s benchmark X-90 multi-chemistry battery charger is the core component of the WASP. The X-90 can be used to charge many military battery, including the popular BB-2590 rechargeable Li-Ion battery.

WASPs are available in three versions: 30W, 60W, and 120W flexible solar panels and include flexible solar panels, cables, connectors, and carriers.
