Welcome to Shooting Resources, The total online resouce for your gun information., Since the beginning of war itself delivering medical care even in its basic form to injured on the battlefield has been a challenge. As the face of war has changed so has the medical care. Medics can now provide life saving care to those wounded in a battle hundreds of miles from the nearest medical station, or even friendly territory. Combat medical care has undergone many changes and improvements in equipment and training. With these changes have come new challenges never thought of before, some have remained the same though. One of these universal challenges is how to get all your life saving equipment to those that need it on the battle field. Lets face it sometimes you cant land on the patients location with a helicopter or even drive up to them in any type of vehicle. Sometimes it has to be you on foot taking the care to the patient under fire and in the harshest conditions that man and nature can combine on a modern day battlefield., For years there has been a quest for the perfect jungle bag. Unfortunately for those of us seeking this it does not exist yet. There are those bags that come close though. One of those is the Snugpak Jungle Bag. I have had the chance to try this bag out on a few occasions now and while I plan on doing more extended time testing I felt the need to put my initial opinion about it out there so to speak at this time. At this time I have tested this bag as a bivy over a sleeping bag
As I have tried different bags I have noticed that they have all struck me as being the same. They all seem to have the same features, same basic construction and materials just different names on the tags. My standards are more tough and strict than the industry standards and I would expect this to be true of anyone that has spent time in the field or other conditions. In typical Snugpak fashion they have been able to do this. So with that said it takes allot for me to feel like a manufacture has set itself apart from the rest., SPOT Satellite Messenger,So not only is the SPOT tough, the service is extremely reliable, and yet all of this is highly affordable as well. The SPOT unit itself is between $149-$199 depending on where you get it. In addition to this cost you have a yearly subscription fee. This fee varies depending on what you get, there are a few options. You have the option of activating the Tracking feature which I highly recommend, not only is it useful it can be just flat fun. There is also the option to purchase rescue insurance at the time of set up this is about $8, if you purchase it after the fact it is $150. This is for $100,000 that covers that cost of a rescue (yup some places will stick you with this bill) and is insured by Lloyds of London. In my mind this is not an option it is a must but never the less you dont have to get it. So for between $200-$250 you get a ruggedly tough, extremely reliable, rescue insured, tracking capable, rescue device that can be used in situations other than a rescue, I was granted the opportunity to test BlueLine Tacticals Resq Pak Level 1. The first thing I noticed about it was the weight. The entire kit weighs just 5 oz which is amazing for what all is in it. This means that one or two can be carried with no significant weight increase and you will barely know it is there. The second thing that immediately struck me was the size. The size is kept to an absolute minimum due to the vacuum packing that it comes in. The edges stick out a little but can be taped down to make these kits very small. I managed to carry two of them in my BDU pocket with minimal effort to make them fit., Shooting logs come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and with all types of information. Some of the information is useful other types is kind of pointless. Now the standard Shooting log information can come in a format as well; a computer format. Shooting Resources is introducing a computerized Shooting Log for your computer. As you would expect from Shooting Resources this gun log was made with a huge amount of input from the reader base that they serve.
Shooting Resources gun log is an easy and convenient way to keep track of all the shooting that you have done with any weapon. You can track the date, round type, lot number, location, notes and number of rounds fired on a single page. It is simple, secure and to the point.
