The relaunched ITS Online Store is live with awesome new products!
From the monthly archives:
Hopefully all you Dad’s out there are getting some much deserved rest this Father’s Day.
What we’d like to know here at ITS is if you gave or received any Tacti-cool Father’s Day gifts?
While the holiday is more about thanking Dad for keeping your ass out of trouble all these years, gifts definitely make it easier for Dad to deal with your screwed up life!

A few months ago I attended the RSKTKR class hosted by ITS Tactical learning a vast number of new skills. One of the common themes at the class was practice, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. There are many ways to practice drills, the most obvious method being live fire.
Another practice method is setting up a range in your garage and using an airsoft or paintball gun (hopefully write about at a later time).
The biggest issue with live fire training is the cost of ammunition is so expensive. Although I have found a local company (in Texas) that has the lowest prices for S&W .40 ammunition, it’s still pretty costly (about $230 per 500 rounds) and reduced hazard ammo for the range that’s the same grain as my carry ammo.

Preparing for BUD/S or not, running on soft sand is an excellent way to train and exercise. Students at BUD/S will run on the soft sand (SS) on a daily basis, which is very different than harder sand or surfaces.
Whether on a conditioning run, the O-course, running up and over the berm, boats-on-heads, logs, or just running to chow, many BUD/S students overlook the difficulty that SS presents and how common of an occurrence it is in almost every evolution they will face. [Read More…]

I am pretty sure most of our readers, if not all, are familiar with the Mystery Ranch name. They not only offer some of the best military packs around, but hunting, fire/trail and recreation packs as well.
What I’ll be revieweing today is the new Skiritai Pack from Mystery Ranch. You’re probably wondering a little about the name, so let me fill you in.
The Skiritai were the Spartan rangers which formed the left flank in combat, acted as scouts, and were the only unit allowed to proceed the Spartan King. [Read More…]

I’ve owned my SnowPeak Titanium Mini-Solo Cook Set for the better part of four years now, and while it hasn’t been in continuous use, it’s gotten me through many multi-day adventures.
The set works best for one person, as the name implies, and a great option for lightweight backpacking or to complement a larger cooking set.
I found that while the titanium doesn’t conduct heat like aluminum will, it still stays hot when used to boil water. The handles on both pieces stay fairly cool to the touch as well, but not made for people with large hands. You’ll wind up singing your fingers on the hot surface if you’re not careful. [Read More…]

Not only is it Flag Day here in the United States, but it’s also the 235th birthday of the United States Army!
In case you’re not sure what Flag Day is, June 14 commemorates the adoption of our flag by the Second Continental Congress in 1777.
While not a federal holiday, Flag Day was officially established in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson. National Flag Day was then established by an Act of Congress in 1949.
Fly your flags high today America, and pay tribute to all those fighting for it!

One of favorite bloggers, Jeanette from the Tactical Pants Blog has put together one of the most comprehensive guides for purchasing Tactical Pants, aptly named The Tactical Pants Review.
Regardless of where you buy your tactical pants, give this guide a look, it’s the best we’ve seen so far.
Most of the major manufacturers are represented in the review and there’s also a fantastic chart displaying the vitals from each manufacturer’s core offering.

The Pepsi Refresh Project is an idea that the Pepsi Cola Company implemented this year, rather than spending $2.5 million per 30 seconds of advertising during the last Super Bowl.
The project is a grant platform that takes anyone’s project ideas and awards between $5k and $250k to the most popular ideas each month, with each month’s prize money adding up to around $1.3 million.
One of the charities in the running this month is the VFW for a $250k grant. Please take a moment to watch the video below and vote for the VFW by visiting their page within the Pepsi Refresh Project.
The goals of the “Return the Favor” VFW Campaign are to provide financial aid to military families for rent, utilities and food; Morale boosting “welcome home” or “sendoff” events for troops; and Free communication options for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. [Read More…]
