Father’s Day Gift Idea – Tactical Grilling

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

We’ve extolled the virtues of Tactical Grilling before, but now they have an all new website and even more kick ass products so we thought, what with Father’s Day coming up, it would be a good idea to put the word out. Tactical Grilling is really gaining in popularity as you can see from this photo featuring “America’s Chefs” outfitted in Tactical Grilling kit on their recent trip to GITMO.

Their Tactical Apron is PALS compatible. In addition to adding any of your own pouches, they offer the Tactical Spatula Sheath as well as the Tactical Beer Shingle. Aprons and pouches are available in UCP, MultiCam, Coyote, Woodland, LE and Fire. That’s right, Tactical Grilling listened and added colors to show your LE or Fire pride.

Tactical Grilling products are Made in USA.

McNett Gruntline

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

Sometimes the simplest things make life better. For guys who can’t rely on KBR laundry, washing your clothes on a washboard and hanging them out to dry is a reality of life. Manufactured from braided rubber tubing the Gruntline stretches up to 7 feet and has clips on each end to attach it for use as a clothes line or as a tie down strap. Although its been around for awhile, its a classic. I carried one with me for years and it got lots of use as intended as well as to suspend ponchos in large tents so I could stake out some “me” space.

Available from McNett.

iPhone 4 Titanium Cover from Snow Peak

Friday, June 10th, 2011

Snow Peak is well known for their innovative products produced in Titanium. Generally, they are things like sporks and kick ass mugs. Stuff you use while camping. So their newest offering is a bit of a surprise.

Cool right? Now the downer part. These nuggets come directly from their web site:

※ This product is intended to cover and not intended to protect.
※ This product is made of metal that may degrade performance of radio transceiver.
※ Use of this product could result in iPhone 4 being scratched.
