Best Camping Gear Reviews and Police Equipment Reviews recently had the opportunity to review a first aid product. The product is called ResQ-Pak and it is an emergency trauma kit. Many police officers will find the ResQ-Pak handly in case of major trauma scenes. What's great about the ResQ-Pak's are they are very compact allowing a police officer or anybody for that matter to always carry one.
When it comes to camping gear, ResQ-Pak makes an emergency trauma kit that is perfect for fishing, hunting, or any outdoors activity. The kit includes the following:
25g Quik–Clot® Sport™
Tegaderm 2 3/8" x 2 3/4" dressing
5" x 9" ABD pad
4" x 75" roll bandage
40" x 40" x 56" triangular bandage
two sets 4" x 3" cover sponges
combat medic tape
non-latex gloves
rescue whistle
mylar blanket
So how does ResQ-Pak work? With all the supplies in one easy to get package you have what you need at your hands. When a person comes upon or gets a traumatic injury, he or she can use the Quik-Clot to stop the bleeding. In the camping gear kit, one would hold the Quik-Clot firmly to the injury for at least 5 minutes while the blood clots. Then using the other supplies bandage it up and get medical treatment as soon as possible.
ResQ-Pak is a great kit to always have with you. You never know when you are going to come across an injured hiker and the ResQ-Pak can save their life!
For ordering information check out the ResQ-Pak review on the police gear site.

Best Camping Flashlight
Best Camping Flashlight- There are so many flashlights out there that claim to be the best flashlight, but which one truly is? Best Camping Gear Reviews has teamed up with our sister site, Police Equipment Reviews to try and answer that question. We brought our police equipment site into this blog because who uses flashlights more than police officers? They destroy their flashlights so if one can withstand the daily use by a police officer, then it can sure hold up as camping gear!
Streamlight flashlights are one of the best police flashlights. They make some really cool rechargeable and LED flashlights that come in a variety of sizes. With regards to camping, it would be a good idea to get a Streamlight flashlight similar to the Streamlight UltraStinger. This is a great flashlight that has a super bright light. The only downfall to this flashlight is that it can only last for about 2 hours of continuous run time.
With that in mind, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pick up either a MagLite flashlight or Coleman flashlight as a backup. These are very cheap flashlights that operate with batteries. While their light power might not be as good as a Streamlight flashlight, you have the insurance of a battery operated flashlight. If it runs out simply put in new batteries.
As we said before, there are many flashlights that will work well as part of your camping gear. Just remember that you pay for what you get. So if you find a dirt cheap rechargeable flashlight it probably won’t be that good.
The Streamlight flashlights and MagLite flashlights can found at all police equipment stores and some camping gear stores. The Coleman flashlights can be found at most major sporting good stores and camping gear stores.

Bushnell Excursion binoculars
All too often people pack their camping gear, head to one of their favorite campgrounds, and realize they forgot something. More often than not, it was their binoculars that they forgot. Binoculars aren’t like most pieces of camping equipment where you can just head to the local camping gear store near the campground and replace them. Binoculars can cost a lot of money sometimes. Binoculars range in price from $30.00 to $2,500.00!
Best Camping Gear Reviews likes the Bushnell binoculars. We get to use the Bushnell binoculars more than the average camper. The reason is because we are police officers and used our Bushnell binoculars as pieces of our police equipment. Binoculars come in handy as police gear and camping gear.
There is nothing better than taking a long nice hike and finding a secluded mountain peak with beautiful views. Using some binoculars will allow you see some amazing things! Just remember to take your Garmin GPS with you so that you don’t get lost!
One of Best Camping Gear Reviews favorite pair of Bushnell binoculars is the Bushnell Excursion EX binocular. The Excursion binoculars are very lightweight, waterproof, fog proof, and very durable. A drop here and there won’t do any damage. The Bushnell Excursion binoculars come in an 8x42 or 10x42 powers. The Bushnell Excursion binoculars can found at most camping gear stores and select police gear stores. They cost between $210.00 and $250.00,

As we approach Christmas and start to scrabble for some last minute gifts, I decided to compile a list of my five favorite camping gear stocking stuffers. I want you to know that finding camping equipment small enough to fit into a stocking isn’t that easy!
1) Garmin GPS devices. Garmin is one of the biggest manufactures of GPS devices. These devices are great for campers because they are compact and provide easy directions to the campgrounds. Because some models are handheld, these are also great for taking on hikes. The Garmin GPS devices cost between $100.00 and $600.00.
2) Streamlight Stinger flashlight. Streamlight flashlights are highly regarded as the best flashlight in almost all camping gear reviews. The Stinger flashlight is a great compact rechargeable flashlight. The Stinger has 125 lumens and is about 6” long. The Streamlight Stinger flashlight costs about $75.00.
3) Casio Pathfinder hunting timer watch. This Casio watch features five alarms, digital display, and is backlit for easy reading. The Pathfinder watch is water resistant to 100 meters. The Casio Pathfinder watch costs about $49.99.
4) 5.11 Tactical Gear socks. While getting socks for Christmas might be the most exciting gift, they can sure safe your feet on hikes! 5.11 Tactical Gear started out making the socks for police officers since they are on their feet so much. Since then, they have become popular by just about everyone, including campers. They socks are constructed with multiple zones of compression and fabric blends for increased blood circulation, heat reduction, and moisture wicking. 5.11 Tactical Gear socks can be found at some camping gear stores and all police equipment stores. The 5.11 Tactical Gear socks cost between $9.99 and $19.99.
