The Buddy Straps are in use in Ukraine! Thanks Reddit you helped us supply 126 of these to units all over Ukraine. This is a special forces team in the 78th receiving theirs. These allow one soldier to carry another injured comrade and still use his weapon. Go to protectavolunteer.com to support!

A couple months ago we fundraised for Buddy Straps, which allow one soldier to carry another on his back and still use his weapon. These are a new product and not widely used in Ukraine (yet) and we had combat medics request them. Thanks you to generous Redditors we were able to fund 126 of them to distribute all around Ukrainian and foreign units.
We funded these through [protectavolunteer.com](https://protectavolunteer.com). On our Paypal dropdown menu the option for “Buddy Straps” funds these and their shipping/distribution costs (special thanks to u/holdontaxi and [theghostconcept.org](https://theghostconcept.org) for helping in distribution to get them all over the country).
Right now we don’t have an estimate on when we will provide more as we are waiting for feedback on those who received them as some are thrilled to receive them and others are still getting training or testing them out.
Super random but the dude on the right is carrying magazines that don’t fit his rifle. Curious
