We’ve been chomping at the bit to write about the new NavELite Backlit Magnetic Wrist Compass (BLMC). The company comes highly recommended by some folks that know what they’re talking about but we’ve held off because we’ve been wanting to get our hands on the actual product rather then just doing a “hey, look what’s coming” article. With 3 of the compasses on order we can assure you that we’ll be following up with some hands on.
Lately, so much has been happening relative to the BLMC that we couldn’t hold off writing any longer. For example, the BLMC has been approved for use at Ranger School. Here’s a little background.
One of our readers sent us a recommendation to check out High Sierra Tool. We haven’t run across any of their creations yet but we like what we read about them. Their knives are made from CPM S30V stainless steel hardened to about Rockwell 61. They also cryo treat and triple temper the blades.
They also offer a 20% discount to active duty military!
How can you not be interested in a product called WAR tape? Austere Provisions Company sent us a couple of rolls of WAR tape a few weeks ago out of the blue. When I asked them where it came from they came back with this reply, “The tape was something that a friend of mine showed me while attending a class. He had met one of the owners and they had given him a handful of rolls and he hooked me up with a roll. Fairly high quality and I liked the logo considering it was a reminder of what many are training and preparing themselves for war-combat. I think it functions well for medical tape for both bandaging, wrapping knuckles and wear points on hands and such as well as impromptu gear repair.”
So WAR tape is an MMA product of WAR Worldwide but you can get yours from www.austereprovisions.com and support a great company that supports our community.
We recently started talking to a really cool company called NavELite. They came highly recommended by some mutual friends. They sent us this great company history as background for a story but we thought it was so good that we should run it as is. Read this tonight. It will come in handy tomorrow.
