A hydration pack includes a main body, a strap, a bladder, a hydration tube, a first chain of magnets, and a second chain of magnets. The main body defines a storage compartment. The strap is coupled to the main body. The bladder is disposed in the storage compartment of the main body and configured to retain liquid. The hydration tube includes a proximal end coupled to the bladder and a distal end. The first chain of magnets is disposed on the strap. The second chain of magnets is disposed along a length of the hydration tube. The first and second chains of magnets are configured to connect by magnetic forces and disconnect by a force exceeding the magnetic force of the first and second chains of magnets.

A deck mount fishing rod holder apparatus for securing fishing rods without clamps includes a base having a base top side, a base bottom side, a mounting portion and a plurality of arm portions. A plurality of mounting apertures receives an engagement portion of a seat post of a seat on a boat to secure the base to rest on a deck of the boat. A plurality of rod holders is pivotably coupled to the base top side of the arm portions. A holder bottom side of each rod holder is angled to rest flush on the base top side in a fish position. A cylindrical holder sidewall extends away from the base top side at an angle greater than 90°. Each rod holder secures a fishing rod and is pivotable back towards the base top side to allow for hook setting without removing the fishing rod.

A holster comprises an elongated tube of fabric formed with longitudinal openings that enable a first part of the tube to serve as a loop for attachment to a waist belt, and a transverse opening that enables a second part of the belt to serve as a pocket of holding an elongated article such as a flashlight. The tube is composed of a woven fabric of fusible yarns. The openings are formed by means of a heated blade, and the heat fuses the yarns at the margins of the openings to one another, thereby preventing fraying.

A hydration backpack includes a main body, a storage compartment, a pair of shoulder straps, a bladder, a hydration tube, a first longitudinal elongated metallic element, and a second longitudinal elongated metallic element. The bladder is disposed in the storage compartment of the main body and is configured to retain liquid. The hydration tube includes a proximal end coupled to the bladder and a distal end providing liquid to a user on demand. The first longitudinal elongated metallic element is disposed on one shoulder strap. The second longitudinal elongated metallic element is disposed on the hydration tube. The first and second longitudinal elongated metallic elements are configured to connect by gravitational and magnetic forces and form an automatic hydration tube return system.

A bracket system for mounting objects on to a mounting frame such as a backpack frame or a vehicle equipment mount. The bracket system includes at least two sets of brackets. Each of the sets of brackets has three major components. The first major component is a flexible strap with a first end and second end, the second end formed with a T-shape. The second major is a right-hand bracket with a flexible strap anchor plate for affixing the first end of the flexible strap thereto, the first bracket further including a set of openings along one side for mechanically fastening to the mounting frame. The third component is a left-hand bracket formed with a variety of slots for receiving the second end of the flexible strap with the T-shape along one side and a set of openings along second side for mechanically fastening to the mounting frame.

A holster comprises an elongated flexible fabric tube woven from fusible yarns. A first part of the tube has a passage for receiving a waist belt. A second part of the tube extends from the first part transverse to the direction of the waist belt-receiving passage, and an opening in the second part enables the second part to serve as a pocket for receiving and holding an elongated article. The waist belt-receiving passage can be formed by opposed elongated openings in the wall of the tube. Alternatively, the waist belt-receiving passage can be formed by bending the tube to form a loop. In the latter case, a portion the tube extends from the loop, through an opening, into the interior of tube and then outward from an open end of the first part. Here, the outwardly extending portion of tube is the second part, and serves as the pocket.

An animal call carrier for carrying bugle type animal calls comprises a clasp at one end spaced apart from a cap at the opposite end along two elastic rods. The clasp is configured to grasp one end of an animal call around the outer diameter of the call near the mouthpiece of the call while the cap fits into the opening at the other end of the animal call. The clasp and cap are spaced apart at a distance along the elastic rods so that when the call is stowed, the elastic rods create a compression force between the clasp and the cap to hold the animal call securely in place.

The disclosure provides conspicuity devices and methods. A first embodiment includes a glove with at least one elongate lighting device adapted and configured to admit light having an advantageous spectral energy distribution. Additional articles of clothing are provided herein for enhanced conspicuity, such as for emergency workers and athletes.

An apparatus for securing a writing implement to a complementary magnetic surface. The apparatus includes a body formed of a ferromagnetic material, the body extending between a first end and a second end of the housing. A first and second end of the body defines an opening that forms a channel extending between a plurality of lateral interior surfaces from the first end to the second end. In an embodiment, a protrusion is disposed within the housing and extends from one lateral interior surface toward the channel. In an embodiment, a stopper may be disposed proximate to the second end of the body and partially extend from a lateral interior surface toward the opening. In an embodiment, the housing receives the writing implement, and a protrusion contacts the writing implement securing it in place.

A load-carrying fastener with rapid attachment and detachment and safety lock mechanisms is applicable to an attachable holder for a MOLLE accessory and includes a fastener base; a pivotable locking plate pivotally connectable with the fastener base; and a lock-release key flippable to keep the fastener base and pivotable locking plate in an interlocked or released state. Two lateral sides of the fastener base are formed with elastic arms extending outward to form locking arms with locking hooks. The pivotable locking plate is formed with two locking holes allowing the locking arms to be inserted therein and the locking hooks to hook the edges thereof when being closed on the fastener base, so as to enter into a locked state, and be brought with the fastener base into an unlocked state by disengaging the locking hooks from the hole edges when the elastic arms are pressed.
