Cyflect™ material is waterproof and holds reflective properties when wet. Cyflect™ is the only product where 100% of surface area reflects or glows and is visible through fog & smoke.

I carry this kit with me for hiking, camping, boating, and everything in between. It has a NATO whistle, button compass, signal mirror, glow stick, flashlight, pencil, P-58 can opener, a straight edge razor blade, a derma-safe blade, a flint and striker, general purpose cord, a non lubed condom (for carrying water), fishing hooks, lines, and sinkers, 2 water purification tablets, and some tinder-quicks.
Windson GTFO-Bracelet, Beggar-Style
Finally received the much coveted glow bead from @snakedrblog, nice addition, for locating the bracelet in the dark, or for spinning it off as an insta-beacon.

[Windson RoE]Nice set up.
I absolutely love my glow bead. Bought one for my daughter and she loves hers, too.

Prototype Testing:
With some more of the Stash-It Modifications on the go I wanted to share this one. I use a few items a lot and sometimes need them removable. The little Photon II is one of the most handy tools to have, but sometimes I need it on a neck lanyard, and sometimes I prefer it stored in a Stash-It with the other gear simply as the method of carry is very discreet.
I tested this originally by simply tying the cord and looping the tools through. This works well and prevents loss but can be a bit slow to remove tools especially as the temperature has dropped dramatically. I tested the buckle that is used on the L.I Advanced Breakaway Lanyard from Law Industries which works but its a little too bulky for this job.
In the end I opted for the plain break away and ran some type I cord through to secure allowing it to be attached to absolutely anything you want, and attach just about any tool that you want, even EMT shears. This now leaves a simple method of organisation, rapid access to the tools at hand and an ability to expand a lanyard to give multiple securing options for tools. I’ll be sending out some of these for testing by a select few and if the feedback is positive try to get them added to the store for everyone. There is still a little fine tuning to do, but as a simple solution, it works.
The ability to change the way you work on the fly should never be ignored. These additions are low cost, simple to use and can adapt to your methods as you have to. For any of the products shown please visit the Law Industries Store.

Go-Tube Mod
I needed a transparent container to carry and deploy a set of Bogota lock picks and a mini glow-stick. After experimenting with acrylic glass pipe, I decided to take the existing Go-Tube ends and fit them with flexible PVC tubes. Seals tight and doesn’t need additional markings, just cut the soft tube to the required length; the material is rigid enough to prevent the contents from being crushed.

Osberg Seax (Dragon Breath):
Here are some final shots of this seax. Made in Scandinavian style with a curved point and Long Branch runes carved in elk antler that say,”Dragon Breath”. The carvings are styled after the Osberg horde find with a dragon breathing fire from it’s mouth. The fittings are made from wrought iron and copper with an elk antler dongle, also carved as a dragon’s head.
This knife will be for sale at the Renaissance Faire in Myrtle Beach, SC this weekend. If it survives that show it will go to my etsy store.
