Our first impression of the Victorinox Rescue Tool is a good one. This is a very solid well made folding tool. The first thing you notice is the color. This is designed as an emergency tool, so its bright yellow (StayGlow) handles really stand out keeping this tool from becoming lost if dropped, The bright red and yellow sheath is also hard to miss. For more low key applications there is a black version available. The Victorinox RescueTool fits well in the hand and three of the most important blades are one hand opening and closing even with gloves. This could be a good all around knife. The specialized blades are still useful in other applications. For an EMT or Paramedic this would be a must have tool in my opinion. For a first aid kit or emergency bag this is also a great tool for the money.

We bought a Sat Com Bag (Satellite Communication Bag) from an online supplier. It is a mid-quality bag. Made overseas, with mid-quality materials. It is designed to hold a fold up satellite antenna and a length of cable. So the shape and function of the bag are designed around that piece of gear. This bag is 20 inches long and 6 inches tall and 6 inches wide. This one has one large compartment, and zippered side compartments. There is also a non zippered inside pocket that was used for the length of wire cable. This bag has one wide, padded shoulder strap and carry handles at each end of the bag for ease in carrying and grabbing the bag. There is plenty of PALS webbing around the sides, back and even on the carry strap, so many smaller pouches can be easily and securely mounted to this bag. There are plastic (glass filled nylon?) clasps on the carry strap and strap adjustment. These parts are also mid-quality. We have only just received this bag, so we have not had time to use and abuse it, but looking at the quality of materials and construction, it seems this bag will last through typical use for quite a while, however it would fail quickly with heavy use or abuse

You do not often get to see something as large as a city garbage truck (with compactor) being towed down the street. The other day we did get to see this however, and here are a few pictures.
