- Introducing the Forest Fundamentals Trail Utility Panel! Inspired by the iconic U.S. Armed Forces VS-17 panels, with a few design changes tailored to support bushcraft use.
- Like the VS-17 panels, it’s double-sided: one side features a bright pink for high visibility in dense forests, especially during autumn, while the other side is high visibility orange, ideal for standing out against rocky landscapes.
- Each side has four reflective strips that catch light effectively for enhanced nighttime visibility.
- With its two colors, the panel also serves well for group communication, easily arranged in configurations like a cross to signal for medical assistance.
- The panel includes eight reinforced attachment points, eight ball bungees, and 10 meters of reflective orange paracord, allowing you to secure it between trees, display it as a flag, or fasten it to your pack.
- All components are neatly packed in a bright orange, 100% polyester drawstring bag, with extra space for essentials like a head torch or compact med kit.
- Made from durable double-thick 600D polyester, these panels are built to support a variety of bushcraft applications and are not limited to signaling alone. Please note: TThese panels are crafted from rugged, double-thick 600D polyester (not designed to be ultra-lightweight), to suit a range of bushcraft applications.
