The relaunched ITS Online Store is live with awesome new products!
From the monthly archives:
We’ll be out of comms this weekend as we head up to the Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma for a Camouflage Comparison article we’re putting together.
We won’t be using the same camo patterns as the Natick Photosimulation Camouflage Detection Test, but we feel we’ve got a pretty good lineup.
Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ll be comparing:

A few months back we brought you a comprehensive review of the 215 Gear Ultimate Rigger’s Belt.
Today we’ll be reviewing 215 Gear’s newest release, the Enhanced Rigger’s Belt.
Made to the same rigorous standards as the Ultimate Rigger’s Belt, the Enhanced Rigger’s Belt offers a low-cost option for those that don’t require the features of the URB’s Cobra Buckle. [Read More…]

We’re not sure if any of our readers have seen the movie Planet Terror, but in the flick, Rose McGowan replaces her lost leg with a rifle.
A friend of ours, Jace, has taken a hint from the movie and done almost the same thing.
Jace sent us over some pictures showing phase one of his project and we’re sure that you’ll think this is as awesome as we do!
Keep giving it hell, Jace!

Our Knot of the Week continues this week with the Chain Sinnet.
Often called the Daisy Chain or Chain Plait, we’ll be referring to it as the Chain Sinnet in this article.
You may have seen this knot commonly tied in extension cords to shorten them up, and also provide a no-tangle solution while stored.
Today we’ll show you our method of tying the Chain Sinnet for a rope storage method that’s ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. [Read More…]

Burning Ships in Pearl Harbor Dry-docks, 7 December 1941
Today marks the 68th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor.
Take today to remember those 2,000 who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and what the event meant for American History.
Here’s a great link to National Geographic’s coverage of Pearl Harbor.

With winter already upon us, it’s time that we all evaluate just what we have in our vehicles, and if it’s enough to handle an emergency situation.
The list we’ve come up with today is what we feel that, at a minimum, you should have with you in your vehicle.
Most of our readers are probably already prepared with these essentials, but it never hurts to share this information with those you care about. I’m sure we all people we know and love that hardly even carry a jack with them.
Instead of getting into a huge article on all the things you could potentially need in an emergency situation, we’ve decided to come up with a simple, basic list that creates the foundation of your Vehicle Emergency Kit.
We’ll definitely be expanding on this list and topic in the future, but it’s time that you at least get this stuff in your vehicle! [Read More…]

We’d like to get your feedback on what you think of our ITS Tactical ETA Kits.
We’ve sold quite a few and would truly value feedback from those of you who have bought them, or even those that haven’t. Positive or negative, we’d love to hear from you. [Read More…]

As I’m sure ITS readers understand, having the right gear for the mission is absolutely critical. The problem is, sometimes the right gear just isn’t out there.
We’ve all had that moment. One day inspiration strikes and you’re sure you’re sitting on the latest, groundbreaking design for a magazine pouch, plate carrier, backpack, whatever. It’s time to give it a shot and start sewing! [Read More…]

There’s a sport, both recreational and professional, that goes unnoticed by many people every day. When a plane goes down in the Hudson River, when a ship meets disaster and sinks, when oil rigs needs to be built, and when SEALs need to get somewhere undetected, they turn to a skill that has continuously been in development since it’s very inception.

I have always liked fun trivia and details everyone else likes to skip over. One of those little items I like is marching cadence. It makes a hell of a difference when you run the numbers.
The US military uses a 30-inch step. Normal marching cadence is 120 steps per minute. That equals 3.4 miles per hour or a 17.64-minute mile.
Double Time is essentially a jog that uses a cadence of 180 steps per minute. That equals 5.1 miles per hour or a 11.76-minute mile.
Many readers will note that the Ranger/SF standard is 15 minutes per mile or 4 miles per hour. This is easily attained and maintained for long distances whereas double time is not. [Read More…]
