OK….anyone that knows me will tell you I’m a gear nut and always looking at ways to reduce weight of my kit and maximize effectiveness.
I recently picked up a couple of the SAR Dog Tag Eclipse Signal System and this fits the bill. After all the whole purpose of survival is being found and this item offers that in a lightweight system that literally fits in the palm of your hands. I am very impressed with the simplicity and multiple uses of this item and it will without a doubt be part of my EDC.

Quite some time ago I started the Store front as a means to help pay for the maintenance and keep the site up and running.
Due to the success of the sales from the web site and my online auctions on ebay…..I purchased the domain www.paracordgearguy.com and folks are being redirected to the store page here on the blog.
Utilizing both of these sites will allow me to keep costs low, avoiding the seemingly ever-increasing eBay seller and listing fees and pass on those savings to the customers.
Thanks again for all your help and support…..and check out some of the “Black Friday” deals I have going on through the end of December.

Ahh….. the lowly knife sheath. Not much thought is put into this item when you purchase a multi-tool or knife, be it a folder or fixed blade. Not long ago I purchased a fixed blade knife and the biggest let down was the sheath that came with it…..almost that the sheath design was an ‘after-thought’. Not as bad as those people that purchase a handgun and opt to tuck it in the waistband ‘gangsta’-style…..but that’s another topic.
I recently picked up a Maxpedition Single Sheath for my Gerber mult-tool and I’m totally blown away!
