Battle Mug has just introduced the first 50 of the M56 Travel Incendiary Transport Systems on their website.

Designed as the ultimate tactical cigar case, the aluminum M56 is made in America, and features O-rings on both caps to insure nothing gets in, or out of your T.I.T.S. It also makes the perfect companion for your Battle Mug as it can be attached to a Picatinny rail via 30mm scope rings. Way cooler than a spare M4 carrying handle.

Vets Corps USA Launches New Work Therapy Programs

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013

This is great news for SoCal Veterans and their local communities.

Vets Corps USA has expended from sewing and assembly to silk screening and graphics development, and soon to paper printing. Vets Corps USA is a non-profit program that provides vocational training for veterans who are patients from the Veterans Administration hospitals in Los Angeles. Previously, the program was known as VIPER (Veterans Industry Program for Employment Reintegration) sewing and assembling medical kits for deploying military units and Green Vets LA sewing cloth shopping bags as part of an effort to clean the environment. We decided to re-flag at Vets Corps when we expanded into graphics.

Our expansion was made possible by a grant from the prestigious Annenberg Foundation providing a t-shirt silk screen press and an offset printing press as well as grant money to cover supplies and veteran labor. We have also acquired an embroidery set.

The Vets Corps team is excited by this addition as previously, we focused our work therapy efforts around manual labor (sewing and assembly), and the addition of the printing equipment allows us to add art therapy and creative graphics therapy into our program to print on t-shirts and bags produced in our sewing program. To round out the effort, Vets Corps has developed a leadership program for military trained personnel to apply their leadership skills to the industrial environment.
Watch for our inaugural run of t-shirts, the proceeds of which go to the veterans themselves and to buy equipment for the program. We plan to offer silk screening and printing to companies wanting to purchase services from veterans. Our offset press offering will include business cards, catalogues, flyers, books and calendars.

Kifaru Goes Loco

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013

Kifaru recently released the Loco, a pack they previewed at the SHOT Show along with the Xing and Zippy. Although Kifaru got the Xing and Zippy out awhile back, unfortunately a couple of other projects got in the way and delayed the release of the Loco.

Manufactured from 1000D Cordura, the Loco is a top loading, short to medium range patrol pack offering a low profile that is not designed to be overloaded. One cool feature is the bellowed slot pocket which allows them to lay totally flat against the side of the bag when not being used, for a narrow profile. These slot pockets incorporate sewn in bladder hangers and will easily fit 100oz bladders as well as other items.

Available in Black, Coyote, Camo Green, Foliage Green, MultiCam and Kryptek Highlander.
