It was the awesomely informative video that convinced me, I NEED a STRAC Pack to complete my nearly awesome tacticality.

https://youtu.be/NBGMrOcwYx4

"Here is a product that is invaluable in combat and all outdoor activities: our STRAC Pack is “STRIKE TEAM READY AROUND the CLOCK”. Developed with the 5th Special Forces Group at Ft. Campbell, KY in 2002, STRAC Pack is used by all branches of the military, parachutists, police, SWAT, Homeland Security, Border Patrol, outdoor enthusiasts, etc.

The pack contains 8 STRAC Bands in two sizes (formerly Ranger Bands) and 8 Gear Wrapz in three sizes in a zippered poly to silence and secure loose gear. STRAC Bands silence dog tags, canteen cups, bundle ropes and cables and provide a sure grip on knives, pistols, flashlights, tools, etc. STRAC Pack has saved lives in Afghanistan and Iraq by providing silence to prevent compromising the user’s position. The Gear Wrapz are excellent rough water tie-downs. The all-weather EPDM Rubber is tough and durable and will withstand harsh outdoor temperatures and UV rays. “You never want to drop or lose your weapon or gear."



Edited to add: The products are real enough; I think the video was made tongue-in-cheek. Made me larf, anyway.

Unclear if this is a joke or not. The last few weeks have made me question what's real and what's not Smile

Ordered the Tactical Omega Force pack. Next time I'm using my play doh to attach my radar detector to the underside of the I-40, I will be set for a tactical insertion.


On an unrelated note, what kind of enhanced MRE's are they feeding those SF boys these days??

We had similar solution at Ft Campbell in the mid 80’s, electrical or duct tape.

No, they used duct tape before duct tape was cool. Cool
