What is a Tactical Belt?

When you want convenience for camping or hiking outdoors, one of the most essential gears you need is a tactical belt. So, what is a tactical belt exactly? Is it used for carrying fi****ms or other combat tools only?

A tactical belt isn’t only used for law enforcement and military personnel in carrying fi****ms. Right now, it’s marketed to be a durable belt to carry almost anything from radio to knives and other EMS equipment.

Fundamentally, a tactical belt is any belt constructed with durable webbing and sold to some part of the gun community. In the initial setting, this type of belt would be included in an individual’s combat uniform. You can add or remove different bits of gear for various mission purposes, including handcuffs and radio.

In the past, tactical belts could be similar to the Roman sword belt. The military and law enforcers usually wear this utility belt over the uniform. For civilians, this type of belt can be used as a normal belt or for fashion.

Currently, a tactical belt closely pertains to a nylon web belt, constructed with strong nylon webbing and sturdy hardware. It’s designed either with a quick-release buckle or a simple lock one. Other features you can find include a V-ring for cargo rigging and a velcro liner belt.

How did you get sunburned and tanned?

First of all, let us know the "Culprit" - Ultraviolet, which is divided into different types according to wavelength: UVA, UVB, UVC, moreover the most of UVC is blocked by the ozone layer.

Therefore, the skin feels red and hot after sun exposure, it's UVA , UVB caused. Over time, the skin will not only be tanned, but also buried the hidden dangers of skin problems. Therefore, sun protection is not only for beauty, also for health!

Does hair and scalp also need sun protection?

In fact, the scalp area is many times larger than the facial skin area,it's the second thinnest skin on the whole body, and the aging speed is several times faster than that of the facial skin. Our hair is mainly composed of keratin. After exposure to the sun, the cystine in keratin absorbs a large amount of ultraviolet rays, causing keratin to degenerate and break, and the hair follicles will be damaged. The hair becomes dry and frizzy, prone to split ends, lack of elasticity, and increased hair loss; Redness and itching.

That's why the hair and scalp also need effective sun protection.

For a sun hat, the qualified standard lies in the strength of the sun protection. The larger the sun hat with the larger coverage area, the more comprehensive protection it can give to the skin. When not wearing a sun hat, you can store the hat and carry it with you to save space to the greatest extent. It's best to have a windproof rope design, so you can wear it with confidence when the wind blows.

🧐By tactical equipment, we mean military and enforcer equipment for mission. With the passage of time, tactical equipment has been transformed into surplus military products with multiple uses such as functionality and practicality by marketing strategies, it's naturally used by more and more people who want to wear or can afford to buy it instead of miltary products. So it's no longer considered a tactical gear that only those who need it.

Ten Tips For A Healthy Camping Trip

Camping is a great summertime activity that lets you have fun outdoors, connect with nature and get plenty of exercises. In fact, more than 40 million Americans go camping every year. Here are ten tips that can help you have a healthy and safe camping trip.

1. Protect your skin from the sun.
Spending time outdoors in the sun increases your exposure to UV rays that can cause sunburns and increase your risk of skin cancer. So, when you pack for your camping trip, bring along sunglasses, hats, SPF-containing lip balm, protective clothing, and sunscreen that’s at least SPF 15. And make sure to reapply sunscreen after swimming or if you’ve spent an extended amount of time in the sun.

2. Practice fire safety.
Sitting around a campfire is often one of the highlights of a camping trip, but it can be dangerous if you don’t take proper precautions. To keep everyone safe, make sure you practice fire safety by setting the fire in an approved spot; clearing away surrounding flammable debris, overhanging branches, and tripping hazards; keeping extra firewood away from the fire; having a bucket of water or a hose nearby, and carefully supervising young children.

3. Stay hydrated.
Spending time outdoors in warm weather increases your risk of dehydration. Make sure you drink plenty of water during your camping trip. If you leave the campsite to participate in outdoor activities like running, swimming or hiking, take plenty of water with you. And avoid drinking too much alcohol or caffeine, since these increase your urine output, leading to further dehydration.

4. Practice water safety.
If you engage in water activities like swimming, boating, rafting or canoeing, it’s important to take proper precautions to stay safe. It’s recommended that you protect your children through swimming lessons before you swim (especially if you’re in an area that doesn’t have lifeguards), wear a lifejacket when you’re on the water, be aware of hazards like lightning and riptides, never swim alone, and keep a close eye on children.

5. Protect yourself from ticks.
Tick bites can lead to several dangerous infections, including Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Here are several ways to protect yourself: apply tick repellant, wear light-colored protective clothing and tuck your pants into your socks if you’re hiking in tick-infested areas. It’s also important to perform daily tick checks on all campers (including pets!) and promptly remove any ticks you find.

6. Bring an emergency survival kit.
No matter how well you plan your trip, it’s possible for unexpected circumstances to arise that can be potentially dangerous if you’re not prepared. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recommends packing an emergency kit that includes clean water, a 3-day supply of nonperishable food, a flashlight, extra batteries, a rescue whistle, and waterproof material like a tarp or poncho to protect yourself from the elements.

7. Protect against insect bites.
Insect bites can be itchy and irritating, but they can also transmit potentially serious infections, including West Nile Virus, Zika, and several forms of encephalitis. Insect bites can also lead to cellulitis, a skin infection that develops when bacteria enter through a small puncture wound. Using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and sleeping under a mosquito net can protect you against the complications insect bites can cause.

8. Pack a first aid kit.
A first aid kit is essential to any camping trip. While you can buy a pre-made kit from organizations like the Red Cross, you can also make your own. A first aid kit should include gauze, bandages, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic wipes, an emergency blanket, disposable gloves, Ace wraps, tweezers, a thermometer, triangular bandages, a CPR mask, and medicine for pain or fever (like aspirin or ibuprofen).

9. Avoid hiking alone.
Hiking is a great summertime activity that offers the chance to get fresh air and exercise, but it’s important to take precautions to stay healthy. In addition to the above recommendations, it’s recommended that you avoid hiking alone. When you hike with at least one other person, you can distribute the weight of supplies and equipment, and navigate your way together to avoid getting lost. Also, if one of you is injured, the other person can render first aid and summon help.

10. Store food properly.
Gastrointestinal infections that come from food that’s improperly stored or prepared can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, which will definitely ruin your camping trip. To avoid foodborne illnesses, make sure you take proper food precautions. Don’t pack raw and cooked foods together. Keep perishable food on ice or in a cooler. Cook food to its recommended temperature. And don’t let perishable food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if the outdoor temperature is over 90 degrees F).

High-visibility clothing is clothing made of fluorescent material with added reflective tape or shapes. Now for the technical bit…

How Does High Vis Work?
The sun’s ultraviolet rays react with the fluorescent colours to make them appear to ‘glow’ increasing daytime visibility. The effect is stronger in poor light conditions such as in fog or towards dusk.
At night, light from sources such as car headlights bounces off the reflective areas to make the tape glow, increasing night time visibility.
By wearing or carrying something ‘high vis’ which has both fluorescent and reflective materials, it will help you to be seen day, dusk and night: ‘Fluorescent for day, reflective for night’.
Fluorescent for Day
Did you know… fluorescent colours help you to be seen in the daytime and near dusk.

They work really well in dull or rainy weather and when daylight is fading.
On a rainy day it’s hard for drivers to see pedestrians and cyclists so it’s a good idea to wear or carry something fluorescent.
Fluorescent colours look really bright because of the way they absorb and emit different kinds of light.
Many people don’t realise it but… fluorescent colours don’t show up in the dark or ‘glow in the dark’. To be seen by drivers at night you need something reflective.

Responsibilities
Employers, supervisors, and workers all have responsibilities relating to personal protective equipment (PPE) on the job. For information on responsibilities for personal protective equipment, see the following resources.

Employer responsibilities
If you are an employer, you are responsible for providing and enforcing the use of personal protective equipment in your workplace, as required by the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.

Employers are responsible for providing workers with the following types of PPE, including:

Eye and face protection
High-visibility clothing
Respirators
Hearing protection
Eye protection
Fall-arrest harnesses when working at heights
Lifejackets
Employers are also responsible for ensuring the following:

The right type of PPE is selected for the job.
PPE fits workers and is comfortable under working conditions.
Workers are trained in how to use PPE.
PPE is regularly cleaned, inspected, and maintained.
PPE is properly stored when not in use.

A sample of hard hats from each batch or production shift is set aside for testing according to the ANSI criteria. Some samples are cooled to 0°F (-18°C) for a two-hour period prior to testing, and others are heated to 120°F (49°C) for two hours before testing. The Type I impact test involves dropping an 8-lb (3.6 kg) steel ball from a height of 5 ft (1.5 m) on the top of the hat as it sits on a head form; no more than 1,000 lb (4,400 N) of peak force can be transmitted to the head form, and no more than 850 lb (4,000 N) of average force can be transmitted. The Type I pe*******on test involves dropping a 2.2-lb (1-kg) pointed steel penetrator with a 60 angle on the top of the hat from a distance of 8 ft (2.4 m); it must not make contact with the head form. In addition, Type II impact and pe*******on tests involve dropping helmeted head forms onto steel anvils and pointed steel penetrators.

Under earlier ANSI standards, electrical conductivity was tested by measuring current in bodies of water inside and outside the hat. Since 1997, the test has been performed using metal foil on opposite surfaces. The conductivity test is performed on a sample that has already withstood the impact test. The most rigorous criterion (for the highest class designation) requires the hat to with-stand 20,000 volts for three minutes with no more than nine milliamps of current leakage, followed by exposure to 30,000 volts with no burn-through permitted. For the flammability test, a hard hat is positioned on a head form and exposed to a 1,550°F (843°C) flame for five seconds. There must be no visible flame on the helmet five seconds after removal of the test flame.
