If you like little fire-starting gadgets, the nanoSTRIKER and MATCHCAP are two products from Exotac, Inc. that are sure to please the innate pyro inside us all (at least the guys). One is a compact ferrocerium fire-starter and the other is a waterproof container for matches.
The importance of proper hydration under exertion can never be stressed often enough. While replacing lost fluids is essential, so is maintaining the electrolytic balance in the body by electrolyte repletion. Two products, Nuun drink tabs and Oral I.V. are designed to do just that.
The Procellera Wound Care dressing from Warrior Wound Kit is a ‘bio-electric bandage’ that is advertised as the first self contained, conformable, cut-to-fit, electrically active wound dressing in the world. From their website – “The Procellera bandage is a sterile, single layer dressing consisting of a proprietary blend of elements that are held in position on the polyester bandage. When the bandage is wet with an electrolyte, like saline, the bandage literally becomes a flexible battery. The amount of current generated by the bandage is specifically designed to mimic the body’s own natural bio-electrical current.
I occasionally get emails asking where I got my little medic pouch patch, and after looking around, discovered that there aren’t a whole lot of choices. I asked my bud over at Mil-Spec Monkey about the possibility of making up some medicsquare patches just like he did with the blood type patches shown above, and viola! Here they are. They’re offered in the same colour schemes as the blood type patches and are available in 1″ and 2″ squares.
The EMDOM USA/MM Dragster Strap is designed to be an ultra compact emergency drag/utility strap that would be worn on a rigger’s belt or vest.

Our buds over Mil-Spec Monkey are now offering neat little blood-type patches in their typical wide selection of MSM colour schemes to match a wide variety of clothing and equipment.

All 8 blood types are available in 7 colour variants.
