High Angle Solutions – Helix Tactical

Wednesday, December 20th, 2017

During DSEI, one of the companies we met up with was Helix Tactical which was created from Wales-based, mountaineering equipment manufacturer DMM’s tactical line. Here is an introduction to that brand. In future High Angle Solutions submissions we’ll examine their gear.

Helix Tactical has been set up as a specialist company to supply advice, equipment, systems and training to the tactical end user. We have been established to focus on vertical access, climbing and technical rescue in the tactical and military domain covering urban, mountain and maritime environments.

We can help teams to build bespoke systems that will allow them to climb, rig, ascend, descend and haul on vertical terrain whether that is establishing an access point on top of a sea cliff or allowing operators to set up an OP on high ground.

Our catalogue can be viewed online at helixtactical.com
Contact us: +44(0) 1286 873583
Email: ryan@dmmwales.com

High Angle Solutions is a weekly series of articles focusing on military mountaineering solutions. It’s brought to you by UK-based Brigantes Consulting, in conjunction with several other brands, both here in the US and abroad. This week, it’s Helix Tactical.

SureFire Field Notes Ep. 17, Violence of Action with John Chapman

Wednesday, December 20th, 2017

SureFire Field Notes is a multi-segment informational video series with tips and techniques from subject matter experts of all backgrounds. In this episode, John “Chappy” Chapman of Forge Tactical discusses the importance of violence of action in CQB.

Born and raised in the tiny suburbs of Sacramento, California, John Chapman (Chappy) joined the Navy at 18. After an enlistment served on the USS Memphis, Chappy returned home to Northern California and embarked on a law enforcement career while attending college. After 16 years of service spanning 4 agencies, with service in Patrol, SWAT, Investigations, Training and Administration, Chappy left full time Police service and began training police officers full time in 2008. A police firearms and tactics instructor since 1994, Chappy founded LMS Defense as a part time private venture in 2006; and with the help of an amazing team built LMS into a full time venture by 2008. After serving in Iraq as security specialist, Chappy returned to LMS full time and spent the next 5 years servicing domestic and international police and government training requirements, and consulting SWAT teams in Procedural Issues and Equipment Acquisition. In 2009, Chappy also became a part time adjunct instructor for EAG Tactical, working for his mentor and friend, Pat Rogers. It was through Pat’s mentorship and guidance that Chappy developed his skills as a teacher to the level of becoming a BCM Gunfighter. Best known as a SWAT and Night Vision Instructor, Chappy continues to teach, now exclusively for Forge Tactical. He also maintains his police commission, and serves as an Auxiliary Police Officer with the Alliance, Ohio Police Department, where he serves as a SRT Team Leader.
