CRKT Knife Reviews from a Woman's Perspective
So I've finally done it! I finally took the time to play with the pile of knives from CRKT that Shooting Resources has in inventory. I am covering pocket knives, everyday carry (EDC), some strictly utility and even tactical knives. I am representing the female perspective, so hopefully, this article will prove helpful for the average female looking for the perfect carry knife, whether mostly for everyday use or maybe self defense. Of course, some knives I do feel would be better for a man to handle or for a woman looking for something more substantial, so don't ignore me gentlemen! This info could be useful to you as well!
Voodoo Tactical STOMP Pack
Since the beginning of war itself delivering medical care even in its basic form to injured on the battlefield has been a challenge. As the face of war has changed so has the medical care. Medics can now provide life saving care to those wounded in a battle hundreds of miles from the nearest medical station, or even friendly territory. Combat medical care has undergone many changes and improvements in equipment and training. With these changes have come new challenges never thought of before, some have remained the same though. One of these universal challenges is how to get all your life saving equipment to those that need it on the battle field. Let’s face it sometimes you can’t land on the patient’s location with a helicopter or even drive up to them in any type of vehicle.
Snugpak Jungle Bag
For years there has been a quest for the perfect jungle bag. Unfortunately for those of us seeking this it does not exist yet. There are those bags that come close though. One of those is the Snugpak Jungle Bag. I have had the chance to try this bag out on a few occasions now and while I plan on doing more extended time testing I felt the need to put my initial opinion about it out there so to speak at this time. At this time I have tested this bag as a bivy over a sleeping bag

As humans we have a desire for information at our finger tips. A result of this and our advances in technology we have managed to shrink the world and make it smaller so to speak. Despite this however the world is still a big place and many areas are still in hospitable for us. Sometimes this is because of nature being what it is and other times it is of our own doing as humans. Those of us with less than normal jobs or just a sense of adventure and exploration seek these places out on a regular basis. I feel very safe in saying that one of the goals is to be able to travel to these places and bring back the information to share with the rest of our social network, job, or what have you. In order to do this you must make it back alive and in one piece. This is more of a challenge than it sounds like at times.
ResQ Pak
One of the constant and on going debates with in the Tactical Medical community is how do you provide medical care to a team member that you cannot get to. The simple answer is you cant since you are not there with the team member. I have heard this over and over again and I respectfully disagree. If you have done your job as a Tactical Medical provider for your team then your team should have received several things that would allow you to do this. One is current and on going first aid training and hands on simulation, simulating if they are down, hurt and separated from the team. This should also include you being able to see them and talk them through lifesaving treatment on the radio. This should be practiced over and over again so the situation if and when it arrises is not new to either side and can be delt with accordingly with minimal time loss.
Voodoo Tactical Scout/Swimmer Bag
Over the past few years VooDoo Tactical’s name has become with synonymous with high quality tactical gear. They have proved that tough, dependable, quality tactical gear does not have to cost and arm and leg. Their dedication to this shows not only in current products but also the new products that have come out. Now most operators think vests and packs when they thing new tactical gear, this however is not always the case. When VooDoo Tactical sees or hears a need for a new product and then produce something to meet this need even if this product only files a small niche. Nowhere is this is more evident than in the new Scout Swimmer bag.
Adventure Medical Kits - SOL - Survival Bottle
Adventure Medical Kits name is synonymous with high end high quality medical/survival kits. It is very hard not to pick up any type of outdoor magazine and not see some type of review or advertisement for their products. Advancements in the products used in the survival/medical area come slow and infrequent. So when a company like Adventure Medical comes up with and improvement or a new product it is definitely worth taking a look at.
Tac Drive USB Drive Review
Over the years there have been many different opinions on why to store and transport your personal medical data. This does not seem to be as important to most people as it should. Even a car accident in another city or state can leave medical professionals in the dark about information they may need to know about you. Having this knowledge at their disposal may actually affect the outcome of your survival. This is especially true if you are in a profession in which you find yourself in a different location all the time.
511 Tactical - Rush Delivery Messenger Bag
511 tactical makes all sorts of bags and packs to suit most anyone in the tactical/medical world, but one place they really didn't have a market was "covert looking" bags. I was looking for a bag that could carry my laptop as well as my weapons in a discrete way as not to bring attention to the fact of what i was doing much less carrying. 511 must have had a few requests for this cause they have not introduced the Rush Delivery Messenger Bag.
Ameriglo Night Sights
Anyone who carries a handgun for a living or has carried one into harms way before knows the importance of having a handgun that is not only reliable but can engage threats under any condition. One condition under which most shooting incidences occur is night or reduced light. One additional piece of equipment I insist is on every one of my defensive handguns is a good set of night sights. Night sights allow the shooter to safely and effectively engage threats under low light conditions.
