The Maratac® Bailout Flatpack Tape is a compact, vacuum-packed roll of heavy-duty tape designed for survival, field repairs, and emergency use. Flattened for space efficiency, it fits easily into bailout bags, vehicle kits, and everyday carry setups without the bulk of a traditional roll.

"A prudent person foresees danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. - Proverbs 27:12"

GOVERNMENT CONTRACT EDC

What the federal government orders — released to civilians. Specialty EDC since 1992.

CountyComm started in 1992 in Sunnyvale, California, designing and producing specialty gear for federal, state, and local government agencies. The catch: anything that doesn't get shipped to a contract ends up on their public storefront — which is how civilians end up with the same EDC, watches, and tactical kit that ships in agency loadouts. They also carry the full Maratac line. Every product runs through multi-iteration field testing before it goes out the door.

  • Founded in 1992 in Sunnyvale, California
  • Designs and produces gear for federal, state, and local government
  • Civilian releases sourced from government contract overruns
  • Carries the complete Maratac brand line
  • Multi-iteration field testing on every product

Answers, straight up.

Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.

About this product
How is this different from standard duct tape?

It is vacuum-packed into a flat format for compact carry, making it more suitable for survival kits and limited-space setups.

Can it be used in wet or cold conditions?

Yes. It is designed to maintain adhesion across a range of environmental conditions.

Is it reusable?

No. It is intended for single-use applications, though it provides strong, durable adhesion once applied.

Shopping with SRO
How long does shipping take?

Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.

What’s your return policy?

30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.

Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.

What can’t I return?

Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.

Do you ship outside the contiguous US?

Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.

My package arrived damaged — what now?

Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.

Can I talk to a human before buying?

Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.

Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?

Yes. Active-duty and veteran military, police, fire, EMS, and medical first responders get 15% off every order. Verify through GovX at checkout — one-time, secure, and reusable across thousands of brands. Discount applies automatically once you’re verified.

IMPORTANT USE NOTES

Built for reliability in harsh conditions, it provides a dependable solution for securing, repairing, and improvising when standard gear isn’t available.
