The bonus for readers of Ranger Magazine: We provide even more details online about the first aid products we have developed together with NATO Special Operations Combat Medic Johannes Kouba and his team from Critical Knowledge in scenario training under challenging conditions. Here are the highlights of the Black Trident equipment.
In Ranger Magazine #3 we undertook an extensive test of equipment designed for medical emergencies with the team from Critical Knowledge (-> You can read the issue and the test report in the webshop). Here we show more details about the products.
Fanny Pack
The Austrian company Black Trident (-> Interview with Black Trident CEO Wolfgang Rohrbacher) manufactures equipment for professional users and ambitious shooters. In addition to dedicated first aid equipment, they have also created the new Fanny Packs, which have a multi-purpose use. Since the test, we have been using the large Fanny Pack Sandstorm permanently, so a report on the long-term test will follow.
From official use as an extended IFAK to a practical everyday bag – the bag plays all the parts. Another particularly practical feature of the Fanny Pack from Black Trident is its modularity. The bag is quickly adapted for these different applications.
Trauma burrito
The team is very enthusiastic about the Trauma Burrito from Black Trident (-> features and benefits are explained in the big test report in Ranger Magazine #3). Among other things, the modularity of the system and the relatively material-friendly construction are praised. Here are some impressions from the scenario training and product test.
Golden Hour Bag
There are several variations of the Golden Hour Bag from Black Trident. As Johannes Kouba tells us, he often uses the low-vis version for his adventures, which bears hardly any signs of a “tactical” backpack on the outside. On the inside, it’s all about the action, as we saw in our test for Ranger Magazine #3. Here is a little insight:
