UF PRO Wraps Up PRO’s Guide to Tracking with Rangers and K9s Campaign, Raising EUR 31,890 for Conservation Efforts

Monday, March 31st, 2025

KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (26.03.2025)

UF PRO announces the successful conclusion of its Pro’s Guide to Tracking with Rangers and K9s campaign, a powerful initiative aimed at shedding light on the critical role tactical expertise plays in wildlife conservation. Through four in-depth episodes, plus exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, the campaign showcased how anti-poaching teams utilise tracking, K9 units, and advanced tactics to combat poaching in some of the most challenging terrains on Earth.

Partnering with Boris Vos, a former Royal Netherlands Marine and the founder of LEAD Conservation, UF PRO immersed viewers in the high-stakes reality of anti-poaching operations across South Africa. Through real-world demonstrations, the campaign highlighted the effectiveness of tactical tracking techniques, K9 units, and the critical synergy between rangers, technology, and local communities in preventing poaching incidents.

One of the key highlights was an episode featuring Colin Patrick, a seasoned K9 expert, who provided deep insights into the indispensable role of dogs in anti-poaching operations. Viewers saw firsthand how highly trained K9s assist in tracking poachers, searching for human scent trails, and navigating difficult terrain. Colin’s expertise shed light on the rigorous training these dogs undergo and their immense contribution to conservation efforts.

To offer a deeper understanding of the campaign’s production and the challenges of filming in the wild, UF PRO also released a behind-the-scenes episode with Boris Vos. In this special segment, Boris shared his experiences filming the series, the obstacles faced during production, and why raising awareness about poaching is more crucial than ever.

Beyond simply raising awareness, the campaign also drove direct support for conservation efforts. Through the sale of the exclusive Ranger’s Band, UF PRO and its community contributed EUR 31,890 to LEAD Conservation, which helps train and equip rangers on the frontlines of the fight against poaching. The collective effort, fueled by the overwhelming response from the tactical and outdoor communities, played a vital role in the campaign’s success. UF PRO is proud to recognise the partners who stood by them in this mission. Through their commitment—whether by purchasing wristbands or making impactful donations—they played an essential role in amplifying support for those working tirelessly to protect endangered species. Mehler Systems Group, including Mehler Protection and Lindnerhof, Trooper, and BMP were key contributors to this effort.

“This campaign was more than just an inside look at tactical tracking—it was about making a real difference. The support from the UF PRO community has been incredible, and we’re proud to stand with those risking everything to protect wildlife,” said Boris Vos. “Poaching is an ongoing battle, and every contribution helps keep rangers trained, equipped, and ready.”

Although the campaign has officially ended, the mission continues. The Ranger’s Band remains available for purchase, with 100% of proceeds still going directly to LEAD Conservation. UF PRO encourages those who want to make an impact to support the cause and help ensure that these dedicated teams can continue their vital work.

Known for crafting low-profile bags that allow you blend in with ease, Vertx now steps boldly into the overt carry market. The Siege series offers two robust pack sizes: a 25L backpack and a 15L sling. Available in Coyote, Wolf Grey, and It’s Black, these bags are ready to meet the demands of any mission.

“The Vertx customer knows our unmatched covert carry bags and slings,” said Erin Chrostowski, Product Line Manager at Vertx. “The Siege Series is something new our loyal customers have been craving for years. However, we didn’t just want to replicate what’s out there; we aimed to infuse it with Vertx DNA, crafting a top-tier overt bag. Our mission? To introduce Vertx to those who haven’t yet experienced our seamless adaptability, rugged durability, and everyday functionality. And for our current customers? This is the bag you’ve been waiting for.”

The Siege Series is equipped with the Vertx DNA their customers know and trust: light-colored interior that keeps gear visible in low-light environments, high-quality abrasion-resistant materials, mesh pocketing, hook-and-loop interior, and armor compatibility. But that’s just the beginning. The Siege backpack and sling come loaded with their own unique features:

Rapid-access EDC compartments to always keep your gear quickly accessible.

Expandable front pocket faced with tough 500D laser-cut MOLLE to increase your storage capacity without compromising durability.

Spacious main compartment with built-in admin storage and double-layered tech sleeves to keep everything organized and ready for deployment.

Available in three tactical colors: Coyote, Wolf Grey, and It’s Black – these packs are as versatile as they are reliable.

“Our goal when developing the Siege Series was to provide customers with something they haven’t been able to get from Vertx before – an overt pack option – which still provides the same quality our loyal supporters have come to expect thanks to the Vertx DNA,” added Anne Thurman, VP of Product Development at Vertx. “We’re proud of the way Siege is another example of Vertx’s continued industry leadership and innovation in the EDC space.”
