Both fleas and ticks not only survive but also thrive in the desert southwest. Because we do not tend to get a killing frost, the populations of these pests do not decrease much in the wintertime as they do in other parts of the country

The Benchmade 8 Hook is a one handed webbing cutter made from one piece of440C Stainless Steel. Its design offers a one handed grip that lets the user securely hold the cutter even under wet or slippery conditions. The Benchmade 8 Hook comes with a black nylon pouch that holds the cutter and offers quick access to the tool. This high quality webbing knife is designed and built to be useful in an emergency. Any one working as emergency rescue personnel would do well to have one of these on their belt or rescue bag. The MOLLE compatible sheath and included MALICE Clip allow the cutter to be placed at almost any location on most vests, bags or chest rigs. This webbing cutter can be used to slice through seat belts or tactical gear. When removing heavy duty gear in an emergency this tool cuts gear and not the person under it.

We had the chance to review a BlastMatch Fire Starter from Ultimate Survival Technologies. It is a flint and steel type fire starter designed for use with one hand in extreme conditions. It is robust, solid and well built with quality materials. This is the kind of gear you can risk your life on. We expected a lot after our research on this fire starter and we were not at all disappointed. This fire starting tool is one of the best all weather fire starters we have had the opportunity to use.

I stopped in and talked with Russell the owner of Desert Surplus. He is a good guy, knows a lot about the surplus business and has done a great job of stocking his store with of the stuff you like to see in a surplus store. Like all good surplus stores the inventory is always changing so stop in often.

We made two slings (for throwing rocks) out of 550 cord. We found the idea and instructions on the EDC Forum. Both of these were easy to assemble. The tan version uses two cords, the black one was made from just one length of 550 cord. The tan two cord version is larger and longer, but either can be made larger or smaller.

This is a simple yet innovative solution to repairing and cleaning weapons in the field. It is a mat that holds small parts and a fair ammount of cleaning supplies. It rolls up into a small package not much larger than a standard issue M-16 cleaning kit, Here are some pictures of the mat in action with an AR15

Here is a breakdown ot the gear I have selected for this pack. Inside an old military pouch I have; 1- The bag, 2- Ranger Pace Beads, 3- GI Compas Pouch (for compass and pace beads), 4- GI Compass, 5- Rhino GPS / Radio, 6- Scanning CB Radio, 7- Digital Camera, 8- NBC decontamination wipe case, 9- Pocket Police Refrence Guide, 10- CB Radio 12 volt power supply cord, 11- GI M-16 magazine pouch (For the CB Radio), 12- Light Sticks
