Fieldcraft Survival was one of hundreds of exhibitors to not only sell quality products at Overland Expo, but also to provide valuable instruction via several classes on how to navigate and survive in hostile conditions.

The UDR Dominator wasn’t the only SureFire product to garner attention at Overland Expo West. SureFire’s STILETTO, STILETTO PRO, and G2X handhelds also generated interest. SureFire Stiletto models feature a radically sleek, slim form factor that fits unobtrusively in any pocket and allows them to be drawn and activated as fast as a knife. They’re also equipped with a heavy-duty steel pocket clip to keep them secure. When set to max output, the ultralightweight polymer-bodied Stiletto delivers a 650-lumen wall of light with no hotspot that’s ideal for short to medium distances. The Stiletto Pro ups the max output to 1,000 lumens, and its machined-aluminum body is robust enough for any adventure. In addition, stilettos are rechargeable, programmable, and offer three output settings. As a result, they provide a tremendous edge in low-light conditions. SureFire G2X compact flashlights are more traditional in design but unique in their construction. With durable polymer bodies with machined aluminum heads, they can take a beating and survive in virtually any environment, and they’re easy to handle in icy conditions. Powered by SureFire 123A batteries with a 10-year shelf life, G2s can be thrown into any backpack or pouch, and they’re ready when you need them.

One late-breaking change included fitting the BRAVO COMPANY USA 11.5 AR rifle and GLOCK 17 GEN 5 handgun on display with SureFire’s new TURBO SERIES weapon-mounted lights, which deliver a focused, high-candela beam of light for positive target identification at extreme long range. The entire setup consisted of an RLD DESIGNS USA CANOPY with a cabinet and an insert made by GUNFOAM.COM. The rifle was also equipped with a SUREFIRE SOCOM556-RC2 SUPPRESSOR, SureFire Turbo Scout Light Pro with a DS-SR07 remote switch, DUECK DEFENSE RTS, Aimpoint T2, L3 AN/PEQ15 and MAGPUL STOCK, GRIPS, AND PMAG.
