Right now i am posted with a lot of reservists and i was talking to someone who is a LEO on the civilian side and he said something pretty interesting, at least i thought it was.
He said that the K9 unit he works was doing bite work with fire hose that they got from the fire department, and i mean using it as a sleeve.
Anyone ever heard of this? tried it before? Photos?

Fire hose is an old standby. It's been in use for many years. Back in the olden days, yeah I know, warstories, we used it frequently as it makes a great hidden sleeve. Dogs usually can't penetrate, but it hurts like hell.

The kind I'm referring to is the the canvas coated rubber hose. I think it's like 4 or 6 inches in diameter. We slit it down one side, used a leather punch to make holes on the slit ends. We used parachute cord as a lace.

Oh, David you are showing how long you have been doing this stuff!!
Fire hose was a standby when I started, wrapped with ace bandage to hold the firehose which was split down the middle.
It hurt so I use commercial stuff these days on the rare occasions I use hidden gear.
