Organized a gear donation by Savotta to Ukraine last week.
Ended up as half a van of stuff: loads of pouches, slings, packs, bags, sleeping pads, a couple of tents and a huge load of various prototype gear.
This lot of gear went to
@ab3.army on the Bakhmut front and was directly put to hard Muscovite reduction work.
Some interesting stuff:
- The complete developmental process of prototypes and final samples of gear made by Savotta for Sako for the FDFs M23 sniper/DMR rifle system. Good stuff for the AR10s out there. Absolute future historical collectibles, look out for these on eBay in 40 years!
- A bunch of lightweight packable litters made especially for this donation. I'll wait for feedback before finalizing the design. Pretty basic stuff but there's always something that may come up.
- A hundred E-tool pouches for the hundred E-tools donated by another Finnish group!
Savotta has been supporting Ukraine with gear donations since the first week of May 2022. That very first load of gear was driven straight into Kyiv and went straight to the defenders of the city. A lot of yet-to-be-released new gear has been in Ukraine for a long time already, such are the times we live in.
The next donation will be to Finnish volunteers via
@yourfinnishfriends
These two lots will give my spring cleaning a good start, I'm close to unearthing the sofa hidden under a pile of gear in my office!
