The Escape & Evade® Patch Kit — Mini Survival is the minimalists choice for a small, concealable kit that contains just the right amount of necessary items to build a fire, purify some water, and get a shelter going when times turn tough. Unlike other patch kits which are usually just patches with a slit in the back, our Special Ops Patch Pouch is separable from the patch — meaning that any hook & loop-backed patch can be affixed to its front. Additionally, the Special Ops Patch Pouch is sealed with hand-sewn strips of hook and loop on one end which keeps the patch pocket closed. It won’t reopen and spill all your gear like other slit-patch kits can. The contents inside are heat sealed in thick 6 mil plastic inner pouch; keeping the contents secured and weather-proofed as well as providing easier egress from the kit instead of fishing around inside. Put one of these on any of your hook & loop panels on tactical gear, a pack or briefcase, etc., and know that you always have at least some ability to survive a situation when it presents itself.
FEATURES:
- Small profile for concealment on any suitable loop panel (rear of patch pouch is hook).
- Special Ops Patch Pouch is separable from patch — you can affix any patch you want with a hook back to the pouch.
- Special Ops Patch Pouch is sealed. Hand-sewn hook and loop strips are sewn into one end of the patch pouch, securing the contents affirmatively.
- Special Ops Patch Pouch is 3.5″ x 2″. This ensures traditional hook-backed patches remain secured as they are a tad smaller than the surface of the Special Ops Patch Pouch.
- A desert, olive drab, or Multicam U.S. Flag patch comes with the pouch. However, you can use any hook-backed patch you want of similar size, or none at all for even more discretion.
- High quality tools enable fire starting, shelter and snare construction, and water purification.
- TAA & Berry Compliant (for DLA and other government purchases needing TAA and Berry Compliance).

(1) Escape Wire™ Diamond Wire Saw:
The new Escape Wire™ Saw is a breakthrough in miniaturized high-efficiency saws. It combines the extreme cutting capability of diamonds with unprecedented miniaturization, making it ideal for survival and covert escape & evasion deployments.
Escape Wire™ is amazingly thin- its diameter is just 1/100 of an inch! Its thinness and consistent spacing and sizing of diamond particles adhered to its steel core provides a clean cut with maximum efficiency and minimal kerf loss when cutting hard materials. It’s capable of cutting any material which is less hard than diamonds, which is just about anything. Made in the USA.
NOTE: The Escape Wire™ was designed for low profile applications. As such, it does not have swivels in order to keep the low profile aspect. Simply twist the wire multiple times around itself once through the loops to create shorter distance lengths and to keep attachment security.
- Snare-ready. The loops are different diameters in order to create a pass-through snare.
- 18 lb tensile strength
- 10 Mohs scale hardness
- 30″ total length; 26″ initial cutting length
Here we provide some ready-made wallet and credit-card sized kits, as well as a selection of small tools that can enhance your survival metrics in an every day carry scenario. Be creative in placement!
