Survival.Signal.Rescue Panel

Monday, May 12th, 2014

Developed by a friend of SSD, the Survival.Signal.Rescue Panel or SAR Panel is a multipurpose signal panel designed to help the user survive and get rescued in an emergency situation.

The top side is composed of NSI/ISEA 107-2010 compliant high-visibility material, designed to reflect light in either day or night conditions. A center pocket stores the included 20ft. of 400lb break strength kevlar cord, and the entire panel can be stored within the pocket when not in use. High contrast black webbing is sewn around the edges, providing strong attachment points for the included cord.

The bottom side is composed of a US manufactured heat-reflective Mylar, thicker than a standard space blanket. In addition to the signaling and marking functionality, the SSR panel can be used as a sun shade, and the integral pocket can hold hand-warmer and be wrapped around the user’s chest, while the Mylar side is positioned outward to reflect and trap heat in the core. The Mylar is also waterproof so the SSR can be used as a rain cover.

The SSR Panel is currently up for funding on Kickstarter. Funding is going towards ordering the product materials, all produced in the USA. Project rewards include the SSR panel itself, up to a package including a GPS beacon, infrared strobe, and additional survival items.

Live Fire Gear – 550 FireCord On Kickstarter

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2014

550 FireCord is a project currently up for funding on Kickstarter. It consists of 550 paracord with the inner core replaced with a composite that functions as an fire starting material.

FireCord is completely functional in all the same ways that standard 550 paracord is: it can be made into lanyards and zipper pulls, used as a survival material, etc. While the composite is encased in the paracord sleeve, FireCord is no more volatile than traditional paracord. Outside of the sleeve, the composite ignites with ease, burns very hot, features a long burn time for its volume, and is completely waterproof. Of course, the paracord sleeve is still functional even after the composite core is removed.
