Don't confuse the Emergency Bandage and the Oales Bandage.  They are two different products.  And if you are going to purchase the Israeli Bandage - make sure you dont over pay.  I've seen it much cheaper elsewhere  ;)

I dont think there is a problem with it.  I think it is that they are just starting to use it for trauma as opposed to it's traditional use for hemophillia.  There are strict steps that are required to be taken when implementing drugs for new uses.  I know DRDC has been looking into it's use for...

There is a new one out 'in the system' somewhere.

I wouldnt call it experimental.  They have been using it for hemophillia for quite a while.  Novoseven is a recombinant Factor VIIa.  It's safe - Factor VII occurs naturally in every healthy persons blood.  When a vessel is damaged a cascade effect starts and the Factor VIIa in the blood, as...

Should be available early Novmber.  Size is the same as the Israeli Bandage and comparable price.

I thought everyone here might be interested in some of the new gear becoming available on the market.  The Oales Bandage looks like a much better product than the Israeli.  http://www.tacmedsolutions.com/oales.htm Its also worth checking out the other products on their site as well.  I have...

I like the R-AID Bag because of its size http://www.tacmedsolutions.com/raid.htm.  Pack style and size is very dependant on your mission though.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your comments.  But I'm fully aware of how the carabiner system works.  I guess I was more looking for thoughts on the one point Anaconda Sling with a belt mounted weapons catch.

Thanks for the advice, but I've carried a rifle before!  And the carabiner worked out quite fine for me, even during all those situations you have presented. 

I appreciate everyones input.  After long deliberation I think I have decided. I do not like anything attached to the front of my weapon.  Having a sling hang down from the front and using a 2 or 3 point sling causes too much resistence or work to shoulder the weapon effectively.  I can see...

I'll add my two cents here.  I wear a Suunto S6 and it is great.  It has a cell phone like menu on it that you can scroll through and change many of the options.  It has a clinometer for slope reading which works great for avalanche hazard assessment, and low angle rescue assessments.  The...

I'm a big fan of that system as well.  The problem is that I can’t grantee that all the course participants will bring a TV/plate carrier/webbing, so the best weapon retention is to provide a sling to everyone.  I'm leaning toward the one point for that reason, but still very interested for more...

I'll preface this by saying that my company does not sell Blue Force slings, nor are we ever planning on it, so this is by no means an advertisment.  I'm looking for feedback on Rifle Slings, and specifically Blue Force Slings.  I've been doing research trying to find out what is the best...

Very well said North Star.  I agree, the cbt int course is very valuable.  It definitely gives you an appreciation for what others dont see, i.e. thinking that a video of CDN troops in cbt is benign if it doesnt show any locations, pers ident etc.  I'm not going to reiterate North Stars...

Force protection is a very big deal.  Every small peice of information adds to the the bigger intelligence picture [for the enemy], and video is a huge peice of that intelligence puzzle.  I see the resolution of KAF on Google Earth has dropped considerably, and for very good reason.  I'm glad...
