Proper Mounting Of A SureFire SOCOM Suppressor To Its Adapter
Wednesday, August 13th, 2014This Is Why We Miss Robin Williams
Wednesday, August 13th, 2014We usually don’t comment on the passing of celebrities, but Robin Williams was a friend and supporter of the Military who provided joy to thousands of personnel overseas through his USO appearances. He also had class, as you can see in this video.
Mr. Williams, you will be missed.
Hill People Gear Website Upgrade
Tuesday, August 12th, 2014Hill People Gear has just announced some improvements to their website, including product display and how they now process payments. You can read the full release below.
This summer, we decided it was time to focus our energy on a significant upgrade to our web infrastructure. In addition to a completely new backend and updated look (that is more mobile device friendly), we’ve added three big improvements.
The HPG equipage taxonomy (hillpeoplegear.com/Equipage/tabid/1197/Default) is a systematic approach to thinking about backcountry living systems — what you need to carry and when. For seasoned backcountry travelers, it may serve as nothing more than a way of understanding under which circumstances each piece of gear we offer is most useful. For everyone else, we hope it serves as a good introduction to their own integration with a backcountry or austere environment – regardless of whether they ever buy a stitch of gear from us.
Our product catalog (hillpeoplegear.com/Products/tabid/762/Default) is much streamlined with a number of filter options, product attributes, and a product comparison feature. This allows customers to easily determine which of our products go with which, which of the equipage levels they are most appropriate for, and exact weights among other things.
We now accept credit card payments through McMillan Merchant Services (www.mmsllc.com). MMC is a payment processor that was started specifically as a pro 2nd amendment choice in the face of so many anti-constitutional banking practices. We’re proud to support the McMillan family in their effort to develop an independent pro-constitution financial infrastructure. PayPal is still available as a trusted 3rd party payment option for customers who are more comfortable using that.
We invite anyone interested in backcountry travel to take advantage of the many free resources available on our website and hope they’ll consider our gear when outfitting themselves.

The Hatchet’s sheath can be stowed in the handle for use so that you don’t lose it.
Below, you can see several of the new knives in the Freescape Series.
This video by Gerber gives you some info on the Camp Kitchen Knife.
Below, is the Flashlight which is a triangle shape so it won’t roll off.
Several of the items are already available including the Hatchet and Lanterns.
Both Large and Small Lanterns incorporate touch technology which allows you to turn them on and off as well as dim control with the touch of a finger.
HawgView – CAS Planning Tool
Tuesday, August 12th, 2014Referred to as an “Attack Pilot’s alternative to FalconView”, HawgView is an open source CAS planning tool created by NEO. Who is NEO? Well, that’s best answered in his own words:
Who am I? I am an A-10 driver first and only a software developer by hobby. Over the past decade, I’ve been flying CAS missions, trying to provide the best support possible to our heroes on the ground. I am still flying in the Air National Guard and plan to for as long as possible, but you will have to forgive me for not giving out my real name. Many of you know me, and I would be glad to talk with any of you over email if you have any questions. I just want to keep my personally identifiable information safe, for obvious reasons. In other words, I am one of you.
Below is a screen capture that will give those of you familiar with FV an idea of what is going on. Head on over and check it out.
At one time there was someone else using the source code to run another site that is similar but as of now, it seems to be down.
Thanks to TYR Group for find.
