Super excited that SOARescue has added First CARE Provider to their suite of amazing courses. Looking forward to catching up at SOMSA 2018.

So... This is one of the most impressive truck bed storage systems we've seen. There have been a plethora of traditionally designed systems that are insanely expensive and well flat heavy. The Decked system has disrupted the bed storage system. The engineering that has gone into this system is impressive! They have taken HDPE and molded it with a steel subframe to make a pretty darn stout system. This design was incredibly easy to put together. The system came in a single box on a pallet. Which was not an issue for us, but just ensure if you order one that there is adequate room to get the system delivered. When it came to the install the system was incredibly easy to put together, and the instructions very clearly say to utilize hand tools, no impact drivers or otherwise. Watching the videos on the website were of benefit and clarify some of the instructions. All in all it took approximately 1.5 hours to put together. The System Installed The System Installed With Drawers Open This system has incredible implications for the public safety setting. While the set up above is simply a starting point, we have began to look at all of its uses and so far has been a win. The drawers each have a 200 lb weight rating, and the platform has a 1 ton rating, both of which are incredible! Check out more at decked.com

Without a doubt CRO has continually put out incredibly well thought out and well made gear. We just had the opportunity to put the new IFAK to the test, and this is a little bit of what we thought! First the delivery. CRO shipped the package quick, and the entire ordering process was painless. We got it incredibly quickly, but part of that is due to us being in the same state. On to the kit itself. The kit comes ready for you to set up how YOU want it. Now this is a shift from the traditional IFAKs available, and may leave some people wondering what to do. The laser cut panel on the inside comes with shock cord allowing you to weave the cord, and fit the items you wish. The pouch itself is made incredibly well. The pouch is and belt is all American made, with fantastic materials and YKK zippers. The IFAK is meant to be worn independently of a battle belt or like. Even though it is meant to be worn separate, there is still real Austria Alpin hardware on the belt. This adds to the obvious thought that went into construction. So there are a million and one ways to set this kit up but initially we set up the kit with the following contents.
