Our new product the ripSPOOL will be premiering in this months Battlbox. It was designed to be a compact field reapir kit that includes: 60' of 30lb test braided line, 50" of heavy duty repair tape, #16 sail needle and a FireCord lanyard. While it is a field reapir kit at heart, it can also be used for first aid, fire starting and a multitude of other uses. Also the cavity the sail needle fits in is large enough to add other items such as: #1 safety pins (2), #8 fishing hooks (5) and 3/0 split shot sinkers (2) turning the ripSPOOL into a emergency fishing kit as well.
Shane showed it to me yesterday. It was one of those moments of "why didn't we think of that?!" I love it. Well made.
This reminds me of an idea I had for the ESEE advanced fire kit, sort of a modular survival baton Maybe will see a EXOTAC/ESEE collaboration ESEE advanced fire kit+ extension tube+ EXOTAC rip-spool all together
Not yet. They will be in Battlbox this month and we will have our production model for sale after Blade Show.
I serious think you and Jeff have something personally against my savings account. This will eliminate four different piece of gear rattling around in my bag. Good stuff right here!
