Well, that’s a wrap!
Comment and tell us what you found most interesting about the Apollo program or learned from these posts.
After 8 days, 3 hours, 18 minutes, 35 seconds Apollo 11 splashed down occurred on July 24th, 1969. Fifty years later, our world has never been the same. If you were born after this event like I was (barely), you’ve never known a time when man looked up at the moon and only imagined standing on it, wondering what it was made of or what wonders of the far side of it beheld (we at least learned it wasn’t made from cheese). Our world, the things we use daily and our view of our place in the universe has never been the same.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this little deviation from our normal material and we’ll get back to bushcraft, survival and outdoors adventures tomorrow, but we also hoped you learned a little (we learned a LOT), maybe shared a little with your family and generally enjoyed the sense of awe and adventure of those eight days in space!
Our sale goes until midnight tonight, so we sure would appreciate you putting a little Dragoon Gear in your kit today. Be ready for life’s next adventure!
We really had fun doing them and want to make sure they weren’t too off topic for you.

Shelter from Heat
Most people do not think of our Dragoon Emergency Blankets during hot weather, but this is EXACTLY the time of year you should keep them available in your pack and vehicles.
1. Do not remove clothing. Keep head covered. As you find/make shelter, move slowly to avoid excessive perspiration and dehydration. Stretch tarp, blanket over her head. Do not stay in car, enclosed tent that restricts air circulation.
2. If no tarp or blanket is available for shelter, find shade under brush, shady side of car, boulder, or ledges.
3. Try not to sit or lie directly on hot ground, which is usually much hotter than the air temperature. Above or below ground is desirable. Sit or lie on brush, packs or another improvised elevation, preferably with air circulation underneath.
4. If travel is essential, move only during evening, morning hours or during the moonlit night.
5. Best way to stay in shelter, put out aerial marker, prepare to signal. Leave shelter only if you know precisely where to go, the length of the journey, and the limits of your strength and water supply.

This is Part 2 of a two part post. This is a tale of two sporks we want to offer you for your next adventure. They are both incredibly lightweight, super strong and dependably durable. We want to hear from you to honor our commitment to be your partner on your next adventure.
They are both made from titanium, weight 21 grams and come in their own cloth bag to keep them clean and protect your gear. They are 6.5 inches long.. The differences. One has polished ends and has a serrated edges on one side of the fork. The serration is completely unnoticeable for eating, but it does have some applications for lightweight cutting of food. It will cost about a dollar more to make (more work involved). Other than that, they are identical in every way.
They will list for about $13 on Amazon. We need your help to them launched and ranked, so we can keep giving back to you and to community service organizations like the USO and SAR Teams. We are going to offer special pricing for the first thirty days to all of our followers. Probably $10 flat. Will you support Team Dragoon and order at this special price?
If you didn’t see Part 1, go back and check it out. We learned something new this week. Apollo is still teaching us new tricks after fifty years. Another thing Apollo taught us is to listen to the guys using the equipment. We have a few more products coming your way, so please help us get it right.
Don’t forget our “Apollo 11 Man on the Moon” promo going on right now. Get a DU Ferro Rod and a 5-Pack Emergency Thermal Blanket Bundle for $20 when you order both on Amazon.
What are your thoughts?
Which one will you buy?

Would you believe our Dragoon Unlimited Ferro Rod makes sparks as hot as Apollo 11’s Command Module at reentry into Earth’s atmosphere?
Neither did we, but if the interweb is true (and everything on the internet is, right?) that’s absolutely the case.
The temperature on the CM's surface climbed up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, but the heat shields protected the inner structure of the CM. The heat shield was ablative, which means that it was designed to melt and erode away from the CM as it heated up. From the ground, it would look as if the CM had caught on fire during its descent. In reality, the ablative covering is what kept the astronauts inside the CM safe -- the material diverted heat away as it vaporized.
Ferrocerium is a synthetic alloy that produces hot sparks that can reach temperatures of 3,000 °C (5,430 °F) when rapidly oxidized by the process of striking. Due to ferrocerium's ability to ignite in adverse conditions, rods of ferrocerium are commonly used as an emergency combustion device in survival kits. Ferrocerium was invented in 1903 by the Austrian chemist Carl Auer von Welsbach.
Don’t worry, we verified the sources, so you can rest easy knowing every time you fire up a DU Firesteel, you’re one step closer to passing your astronaut exam.

Did you know NASA uses five layers of metallized Mylar film in spacesuits make them radiation resistant and help regulate temperature?
For the first space walks that occurred during the Gemini missions in 1965, a seven layer suit was used for extra protection. The extra layers were composed of aluminized Mylar, which provided more thermal protection and protection from micrometeoroids. These suits had a total weight of 33 lb (15 kg). How cool that you can have a piece of space gear sent straight to your house in less time than it took Apollo 11 to get to the moon?
Shop and compare. You won’t find another company that brings you gear and constant tips on how to enjoy your time in the woods, as well as contributes to service organizations that make our communities stronger.

July 20th, 1969 man first stepped on the moon. We were able to see a bright shining moon last night and had to pause for a moment in awe and wonder. What an incredible achievement it was then and continues to be to this day.
Take a moment this evening, go look at the moon and imagine how amazing it would be to stand for just a moment in that place. “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the moon—July 1969 A.D.—We came in peace for all mankind.” #dragoonunlimited #SAR #USA #NASA #searchandrescue #bushcraftcanada #shtf #camping #texassar #survival #hiking #wilderness #scouting #traillife #bushcraft #preppercolony #survival_movement #endurebushcraft #campfire #mountainman #bugoutbag #bushcraft #alaskaadventures #hunting #deerhunting #biggamehunting #salmonfishing
We made a commitment not to sell you junk (or even try to sell you junk). You CAN get cheaper Mylar Blankets, but it won’t be Dragoon Gear.
Sometimes you don’t want to be seen in a survival situation. We could sell simple silver or gold Mylar blankets and double our profit, but we chose to bring you versatile kit that can be used in any situation.
Go to Amazon or Amazon.ca and search “Dragoon Unlimited” to get your’s today.
Check out the OD side of our Dragoon Emergency Blankets. The still picture is the silver side for contrast. A big difference. don’t you think?
What do you think?

“But I don’t go camping and I’m not really into bushcraft, so why do I need a ferro rod from Dragoon Unlimited?” Simple. You care about your family during an emergency or when the power is out.
A lot of folks don’t realize the challenge even simple tasks like preparing canned food can be when the power is out. A fire steel is a good alternative to matches for starting stoves with electric ignition devices.
Make this part of your kitchen drawer and be ready for the next emergency. share this post with your friends and buy a few to share.
Besides, do you really need another screwdriver in that drawer?
Get your’s on Amazon today.

This is Part 1 of a two part post, but did you know that Titanium played a large part in the Apollo Moon missions and our understanding of how the Moon was formed?
Titanium is a good element to measure because it doesn’t get vaporized easily and tends to remain solid or molten when exposed to high heat (which would have happened during early lunar formation). Thus, titanium should be in the same state it was early in the Moon’s history. The comparative analysis of titanium in the Apollo samples indicates that the Moon’s titanium came from Earth alone. In stark contrast to that result, meteorites found on Earth contain large variations in titanium isotopes, indicating their distinct and varied origins
And guess what, one of our new products coming to you soon is made from 21 grams of good ol’ Ti or Element 22!!! Stand by for Part 2 to come, because we want your help in selecting which model to offer you.
