| 108400 | 2016.0177.001 | Backpack | Synthetic fibre bag with synthetic clips and metal zipper pulls and eyelets | S.O Tech | United States of America | 2013 | circa | 1 | Predominantly black bag with a black white blue and red patch on the proper front and a black white blue and red sticker on the proper right side with the same design. On the proper right side there is also a rectangular black and white patch near the proper top and a larger black silver and red patch near the proper bottom. On the proper left side there is a dark blue I.D. patch with white lettering and red trim and three black patches with white lettering and red and white Canadian flags. On the proper back there is a large predominantly orange patch with black markings and white design. | All of the gear in this loadout has been used by Baillie in training and in the field as part of Baillie and Kit’s SAR operations in Canmore Alberta (2013-2016). As of the last time Kit and I spoke Baillie had been deployed with this gear in the field a total of three times: during the Southern Alberta floods (June-July 2013) after a massive gas explosion in Cougar Creek in Canmore (June-July 2015) and during a search for a missing woman in Canmore (August 2015). Notably Baillie cut the pad of her paw on debris during the second deployment leading Kit to incorporate K9 booties into her regular loadout to prevent future injuries of this nature. (Taken from Acquisition Proposal context is for the whole kit see Ref. 1) | Used by the handler of a search and rescue dog to carry gear during an operation. | This K9 loadout features a number of significant Canadian technical innovations. Baillie’s custom-fitted SAR K9 Vest for example is manufactured by K9 Storm Inc. of Winnipeg Manitoba. According to Kit K9 Storm represents the bleeding edge of K9 work equipment and the company fills contracts for K9 military and SAR operations all over the world. All K9 Storm equipment is designed built and quality-controlled in Canada. Another example is Baillie’s body-mounted camera equipment. Still in the proof of concept phase this equipment was custom-made by Kit himself to afford greater communication with Baillie while in the field. (The camera permits Kit to see what Baillie sees and adapt his verbal instructions – delivered through a body-worn audio system – in real-time). The camera was sourced from a disassembled mass-market drone camera rig and then fitted to Baillie’s vest using custom-built components. Kit has also developed other custom handling equipment including a “quick-release” deployment device that was facilitated by attaching a “Petzl Frog” mounting-climbing clip to Baillie’s leash. It is still to be determined whether the rest of the equipment in this loadout is Canadian-made but several of the other items (notably the “Muff Mutts” Ear Defenders and “Ruff Wear” K9 Booties) represent interesting technical innovations in canine wearable technology and have strong Canadian provenance as a result of Baillie’s use of the technology in Alberta.
