Throw up a comment if you were hit with multiple emails, we’d like to know how many of you guys (and girls) had this happen.

Now that we’ve covered getting down a rock face in our “How to Rappel” series, we’ll look at how to use ascenders to get back up the rope.
Situations that would involve having to ascend back up a rope you’ve just rappelled down, would most likely be in caving, or spelunking, depending on your training level.
Ascenders function much like friction knots, or prusiks, by providing a grip on the rope. With a mechanical ascender, the grip is set with a cam, allowing it to only move in the intended direction of travel (up). [Read More…]

The purpose of using a dummy cord on important gear is to prevent it’s loss in a situation where you have a temporary lapse of motor control, or you just plain drop it!
Dummy cording works by tying a line from your person to the said piece of gear, or can be as broad as tying in a motor in case a rouge wave knocks the motor off a Zodiac.

Hopefully in that situation you’d have a backup, “two is one and one is none,” right?
To circumvent the possibility of even letting yourself fall into that position, take a few seconds and dummy cord that compass! [Read More…]

So who’s going to Las Vegas for the 2010 Shot Show, the largest trade show for the shooting, hunting and outdoor industry?
ITS Tactical will be there and we’re coming up with an awesome giveaway if you happen to bump into us.
This year the NSSF SHOT Show will run Tuesday January 19th thru Friday January 22nd at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
We feel that the weekday show is an attempt to keep those not directly affiliated with the industry from making the trek out to Vegas. [Read More…]

Today we bring you another fascinating article written by Dr. Gary K. Roberts, who we have covered extensively here on ITS in regards to his body armor testing.
