There are a lot of rifle bug-out bags on the market in a variety of configurations; the nice thing about these is that it pares down what you can carry to what you need and nothing else.  A pair of spare magazines for your rifle and pistol will cover just about all situations until help arrives. The velcro lined interior means you can mount a 3501 Universal Holster inside the bag and suddenly your bail out is greatly simplified: you grab your rifle, Active Shooter Bag, and get out of dodge.

Both models feature PALS webbing points on the sides for additional small pouches (perfect for lights, multitools, gps units, cell phone, water bottle holders etc).  If you just need a small, general purpose bag for your field tools, the PALS Webbing Model allows for unlimited flexibility – you can tailor the exterior with pouches containing your most used equipment. Purchase a few various PALS Webbing Adaptor (MAX-9482) patches and you can switch out your interior loadout as conditions change.

In addition, it has three zippered accessory pockets, two sleeve pockets, and one drawstring pocket fitted for a 32oz/1L Nalgene water bottle or a radio.

New Product: SureFire G2L-FYL Fire Rescue LED Flashlight

SureFire G2L-FYL Fire Rescue LED Flashlight
SureFire G2L-FYL Fire Rescue LED Flashlight

SureFire’s G2 flashlight has been the perennial favorite here at the office – tough, bright, relatively inexpensive, and with 10 years of battery shelf life, reliable.  When SureFire upgraded the G2 by adding a LED bulb (creating the G2L) we cheered – an even brighter flashlight, with even better runtime, for not much more money.  Now they’ve raised the bar again with the G2L-FYL Fire Rescue, designed for… well… Fire & Rescue work.

The G2L-FYL Fire Rescue is a compact high-output flashlight designed for firefighters, paramedics, and other first-responders. It features a body made of tough, corrosion-proof Nitrolon® polymer and a hard-anodized aluminum bezel and tailcap click switch. The G2L-FYL uses a virtually indestructible power-regulated LED and precision micro-textured reflector to produce a smooth, brilliant 80-lumen beam with four times the light output of a typical two-D-cell flashlight. The pushbutton tailcap click switch provides secure, ergonomic activation control: press for momentary-on, press further to click constant-on. It includes a diffuser kit providing three beam options—narrow for search and rescue, wider for area illumination and close work. It is MIL-STD-810 rated, which includes testing safe in most potentially explosive atmospheres. Its fluorescent yellow color and included reflective body stickers make the G2L-FYL Fire Rescue easy to find in dark or smoky conditions.

So what separates this from the standard G2L?  Two tone high visibility yellow & black body.  Beam diffusers to spread out the cone-of-light.  An extra long, high visibility lanyard.  And high visibility tape that can be added to the body of the light itself, making it easy to spot if dropped.  Only $85.

Kershaw 2001 Rogue Automatic

Kershaw has stepped up to the plate and delivered a new series of automatic knives that are going to be very popular – the model 2001 Rogue!

A bold new direction for Kershaw, the Rogue Automatic has a 4″ blade made of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel with a wide, deep bevel that excels in cutting performance. A thumb ramp offers a natural resting place when using a saber grip, while the overall design allows for the user to “choke up” easily for detail work. Opening is easy – simply disengage the safety lever, then depress the firing button.

The CNC machined aluminum handles have non-slip Trac-Tec inserts for a secure grip in any conditions. A reversible pocket clip allows for tip up carry on either side of the body; the knife may also be carried tip down in right-hand configuration. The handle also includes a lanyard hole large enough for parachute style cord.

The Rogue series is available in 4 models:

The 2001 and 2001ST have a MSRP of $150 – our price is $100.  The 2001CKT and 2001CKTST retail for $160, our price is $109.99
