Here is the Strato SE (Shield Edition). It is a sleeping bag that is designed to accept additional components in order to make a full sleep system. It features two-way zippers along each side for full venting. The Strato SE incorporates a full length channeling the bottom that will accept the Cosmo and Cosmo Pillow Top.

Who Is Tracker Dan?

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

Tracker Dan’s name most often comes up regarding the knives that he makes, particularly the BloodShark. But, there is a lot more to the man. He’s a Navy SEAL but even that doesn’t define who he is. He has dedicated his life to primitive outdoor living and surviving in the wild, on the battlefield and on the streets. He also develops knives and tools to that end. This video gives you a good look into some of Tracker Dan’s background and what drives him.
