DealExtreme 22000 4,68$ LED keychains 10 pack

A couple of months ago i bought a 10 pack of DX's 5mm 22000 mcd led keychains for 4,68$

9 of ten still work, there's one in each of my 3 Survival Kits, gave 2-3 as gifts to some friends

These are rated 22000mcd (micro candels) and seem to be the most powerful out there, thay light what ever you want without effort, they got a great spill, very bright, color ranges form icy white to white

they use 2x2016 lithium batteries wich should last 5+ hours (used 2 for 3hrs without problems and they still go on so 5hrs are possible)

i really suggest to keep them either on a keychain, zipper pull, survival kit,bag, backpack
because you always need light!

"get out of the dark!"

Tactical MOLLE Go-Bag transformers sling backpack

Tactical MOLLE Go-Bag sling backpack


This morning I received my brand new backpack for my “job” as a volunteer at the Civil Defense
I’t a “Tactical Go Bag Hydration MOLLE Shoulder Pack BG-21-BK” I got from the ebay seller airsoftshooting, this is a Chinese seller that is specialized in airsoft and military like gear, bought 2-3 times form them already and I am very happy.

The bag is 50cm high,the internal pocket is a 15x15cm tube and contain a water bladder pocket in wich I inserted a cardboard piece to keep the pag upright, keep my COMBAT SURVIVAL KIT and other items in the main pocket, this one is dual pull zippered and has a top Velcro closure

Outside there a 3 small pockets where I keep my GPS and gps bag, you could put small items there.
There are 4 flat hidden pocket outside that are covered with MOLLE pals, put a drop pouch (31-BK) form ehobby too, to keep a water bottle.

To put the bag on there is a padded shoulder strap with a few small molle attachments.

There are drain holes under each pocket and one inside, there are 2 carrying handles one on top one on the bottom, this one with Velcro.

Cannot wait to test my new bag!

Costs 31USD shipped, write BG21 in the search section of eBay, take a look on the gear they have, cheap and for me worth more than it costs.

More pics and a EDC forums review will follow…

Fixed Blade OLIVETTO 899, Italy

Yesterday I received my (now) Biggest fixed blade knife
it's a OLITETTO 899 , a Ka-Bar style marine fighting knife , made in Maniago Itlay
it's made of 440C steel that has been hardened to 54HRC and then blackened (will ask the manufactutrer how and then modify the post) it's pretty sharp out of the box, 7" long blade

the handle is kraton rubber shaped like Ontario's SP1, big but comfortable, allows different grips, either short and precise or long for chopping

the sheath is quite cheap and simple, it's a rectangle of nylon\cordura with thermoplastic spacer and internal blade guide, has top and bottom lanyards, belt loop is on the top, snap closure on top
the blacking of the blade is nice, didn't like at the beginning, seems durable and well made, blade should be a joy to sharpen as it is only 54hrc, when i get a new sheath i'll add a Lansky Pocket Sharpener to it.

Qality made in Italy

infos will follow, review nont finished yet, will try it soon

40-50€ on the manufacturer site
