Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced that two teens – a 17-year-old from Plainwell and a 19-year-old from Kalamazoo – have been charged with seven felony counts connected to a series of recent vehicle break-ins in Allegan, Barry and Kalamazoo counties. They were taken into custody Tuesday following a vehicle and foot pursuit by DNR Conservation Officer Richard Cardenas.

I recently received some product samples from Elite Survival Systems. These included the #7720-G2-B “Smokescreen Gen II” concealment backpack. I don’t use off-body carry as a rule but had a flying trip to my hometown last week and decided to reorganize my gear. I used the Elite Smokescreen as my “everywhere, all the time” bag. It contains flashlights, portable battery charging device and cables, an iPad with charger, some “old man” medications and the LaRue Tactical First Aid Kit. The IFAK contains Celox, a CavArms Tourniquet, an Israeli bandage, Kerlix gauze, nitrile gloves, alcohol prep pads and hypoallergenic tape. This was the “hope I don’t need it, but it’s worth carrying”
