Grey Ghost Gear and Grey Ghost Precision will have some new EDC and ballistic goodness to show you at the 2016 NSSF SHOT Show.
Here are a couple of teaser shots of their new pack. If you liked the “Throwback” you’re going to love the “Gypsy”. It looks great, rides well, is completely low profile and will age better than Dick Clark.
To get a look at the rifles, you’ll need to go to Booth #31000.
So what is Strike Force. It’s little packet but packs a huge strike…(cough) force! This packet contains the same amount of energy as 2 Redbulls but is sugar/calorie free. A StrikeForce box holds 10 packets (picture) and retails for $10. MATBOCK also offerS 100 qty boxes as well.
I’ve tried it several times and I like the taste. What’s more, this liquid can be added to any potable water so there’s no need to transport loads of energy drink cans.
This is the new NanoHeat Blanket from Adventure Medical Kits. It reflects 80% body heat and is water and spill proof yet has a soft hand unlike traditional space blankets. Silver on one side and green on the other. Shipping next month.
A Hori Hori is a hand tool, often used for gardening. It offers both serrated and straight blades as well as a twine cutter and bottle opener. The reverse of the stainless steel blade has inch depth marks and is concave shaped for use as a rudimentary digging tool. The handle is bamboo and topped off with a steel pommel which can be used as to pound.
Mountainsmith is launching a new line for Fall which are inspired by the packs we grew up with. Made from 610D Cordura, the line has nine styles, including three coolers.
This is the Wizard. Like all of the packs in the Roots collection, it is offered in Barley (shown) , Heritage Black or Heritage Red which makes these great for mil, LE or SAR use. The coolers are in a leaf camouflage pattern. The Wizard is a 29L top loader daypack with hidden backpanel zippered compartment for a laptop, top lid accessory pocket, accessory pockets with flap on either side at the bottom and hung internal pocket and sunglasses holder.
There are several studded, removable “skins” for the bottom of shoes and boots to increase traction in slippery environments. The Swedish company Icebug even makes them. But, they also integrate their system directly into the bottom of a line of footwear. Icebug uses a combination of carbide tipped studs and various sticky rubbers to help you stay on your feet.
The Itch Eraser is designed to offer relief from bug bites, poison ivy and minor skin irritations. It contains an antihistamine as well as Zinc Acetate. Look for it starting March 2016.
