We’re really excited about Mil-Spec Monkey’s new CoolGuy-Hat DLUX, as we’ve had the pleasure of giving him some feedback when he was first getting the project off the ground. His brilliant idea of integrating ear-pro into a hat was truly one of those moments when you say, “wow! I wonder why no one thought of that before?”
Well the Monkey did, and the result is loop Velcro madness on a FlexFit hat that will never leave you wondering where to put your patches or where your ear-pro took off to. We’ll hit the feature highlights in the article, but check out the video below for a hands-on review. [Read More…]
We wanted to bring your attention to a discreet product you may have not seen before.
LWRC International, who produces some of the finest piston guns around, has teamed up with Blue Force Gear to bring you an awesome guitar-shaped weapon case called the Ultimate Discreet Rifle Case. While we’ve seen this case previously, Matt P. tipped us off to a recent AAC Blog article with some great photos showing that a 16″ Carbine with AAC’s 8.625″ SPR/M4 suppressor fits perfectly in the case.
This is a fantastic way to transport your weapon to and from the range, while keeping your nosy neighbors assuming you’re loading up for your next gig. [Read More…]
In our last look at Old Glory, we presented A Patriotic Look at the U.S. Flag Code. Today, we’d like to follow up that article with how to properly retire a U.S. Flag.
If you look into the Flag Code, you’ll find that the only mention of retiring a flag is to “Always dispose of a worn flag properly, preferably by burning it.” The rest is up to interpretation and people’s beliefs.
In our opinion, there’s really not a wrong way to retire a flag other than doing so with respect. What we’ll show you today is a flag retirement ceremony that my son’s Boy Scout troop recently conducted and some other ways that have been known to retire flags. [Read More…]
There’s a couple of things you should be doing today if you haven’t already…
Sending in your YouTube Video Response for the Revision Contest to win over $300 in awesome eyewear and Liking our Facebook Fan Page so we can pummel The Survival Podcast and make Jack do push-ups when he looses our friendly competition.
We need about 300 more likes to beat TSP, so if you haven’t suggested our Fan Page to your friends, we’ll be eternally grateful if you could today. While I’m not admitting defeat yet, I knocked out 100 push-ups yesterday just to make sure I could still do that many at one time!
It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of PMI’s HALO Chest Seal and it’s the only chest seal we put into our ETA Kits.
PMI has just released the details on the big brother to the HALO Chest Seal, the HALO XL. A highly aggressive oversized 8.5″ x 12″ transparent occlusive dressing designed primarily to cover larger blast wounds. The XL is an excellent occlusive dressing for large abdominal wounds, peppering chest wounds associated with IED blast injuries and secondary blast injuries (SBIs) along with securing other wound dressings.
The patented hydro-gel provides superior adhesion to the wound area even when moisture, fluids, or blood is present. PMI also tells us that the hydro-gel adhesion properties of the XL are actually more aggressive than the standard HALO Chest Seal.
Like the HALO Chest Seals, the Halo XL also performs without loss of adhesion in extreme temperatures. Performance tested from (-40°C) -40° to (65 °C) 150° Fahrenheit. You can also store and carry the XL folded like the original chest seals without a loss of integrity or functionality. And of course they’re made in the USA!
This week the Data Leaks series explores another troubling piece of hackery, the rootkit. Today we are going to investigate what they are, what they do, and why you should care about them.
Unfortunately, there will be neither be a “how to detect them” or a “what to do about them” segment. Why? Despite the existence of rootkits on traditional computing platforms for years, i.e. desktops and laptops, the ability to detect and/or prevent their installation is a hard problem. Personally, I’d rather tackle world peace than the rootkit problem—it is that hard to solve. [Read More…]
