Mystery Ranch x Bullkelp Wildland Bedroll
Saturday, March 9th, 2024This Made in the USA bedroll is a collaboration between MYSTERY RANCH and Bullkelp Bedrolls.
Think of the bedroll as essentially a heavy-duty bivy bag. The Wildland Bedroll is made from two canvas materials, a 100% waterproof 10oz nylon/ polyester blend bottom and a weather resistant and windproof polyester top. Each material was chosen for its technical properties, the polyester canvas top is breathable, preventing condensation common in other sleeping systems. The nylon/ polyester blend bottom protects your sleeping system from moisture and punctures, creating a bedroll that can withstand the harshest elements.
Designed for use by fire service personnel, it will fit in the foot of the MYSTERY RANCH Monster/Flight Monster. Another great use for this would be car camping or overlanding. Yeah, Tankers might like it as well. Talk about the ultimate in overlanding.
Above is the bedroll when it’s all opened up, so obviously, the two images aren’t to scale.
It’s 8″x14.5″x8″ when rolled up and about 4 lbs (empty). When opened up, it will accept up to a 25″ sleeping pad and accommodate sleepers over 6′ tall.
It’s also designed to accomodate all styles of sleeping bags and features a 36″ head flap for additional coverage from rain/wind. Finally, there are 1″ Nylon webbing compression straps with side release buckles for storage.
Offered in any color as long as it’s Black.

Qore Performance Introduces HIPS: A Groundbreaking Full-Service Solution to Prevent Heat Injuries
Friday, March 8th, 2024
[Knoxville, Tennessee] — [06 March 2024] — In a significant advancement for safety, performance, and operational efficiency, Qore Performance unveiled its latest effort in the fight to end heat injuries last week at the US Army Heat Center Heat Forum at Fort Moore, GA called HIPS or Heat Injury Prevention Solutions. HIPS is a first-of-its-kind, end-to-end solution to stop heat injuries before they occur. HIPS is designed for military, law enforcement, first responders, and private sector companies. This launch marks a pivotal step forward in the company’s mission to enhance individual performance and well-being in demanding environments, while giving time back to organizations – the one thing of which they cannot make more.
“Heat injuries are one of the most significant hidden taxes on organizational readiness and productivity. The value proposition for HIPS is incredibly simple,” said Justin Li, Co-Founder and CEO of Qore Performance, “we create more time for large scale organizations. By preventing heat injuries, we can give customers back all of the productivity hours they would otherwise lose to heat injuries. In the case of some of our existing enterprise customers, we’ve created 20% or more additional work capacity without any overtime or additional headcount. This is a tremendous competitive advantage and produces an ROI measured in days and weeks, not months or years.”
At the core of the HIPS program is the integration of ICEPLATE® Curve, a hardcell water bladder shaped like a Medium ESAPI armor plate that provides cooling or heating and hydration without adding any extra weight because it uses the drinking water already carried by end-users, maximizing efficiency and performance for individuals and organizations alike. This system is part of Qore Performance’s broader strategy to leverage its proprietary thermoregulation technology for better health outcomes, increased operational capacity and improved readiness at a time when labor/manpower shortages are hitting both public and private sector organizations. These labor shortages are compounding the challenges of already challenging times.
Since 2017, ICEPLATE® has facilitated over 6.5 million hours of safe, injury-free work. The process for the end user is straightforward: Schedule, Work, Repeat. A Qore Performance HIPS Team handles everything else: preparation, delivery, distribution, collection, cleaning, and maintenance of all ICEPLATE® Curves and support equipment. This eliminates disruptions to daily operations for organizations, enhancing operational capacity by 20% or more.
”As the customer, all you have to do is give us a headcount and a duration for your training event or work location,” said Will Clark, Director of Operations for Qore Performance, “we take care of the rest.”
A Qore Performance HIPS Team works with the customer to determine the number of ICEPLATE® Curves needed, and make sure they show up at the right time and place ready to go (frozen, filled with hot water, etc.). The HIPS Team distributes the ICEPLATE® Curves to customer personnel on-site, then handles collection, cleaning and removal.
HIPS by Qore Performance is a testament to the company’s forward-thinking approach to tackling heat-related challenges, offering a proactive solution that benefits a wide range of public and private sector organizations. HIPS was specifically created to tackle heat injuries for military training exercises, but the solution is also available to other sectors prone to heat stress, such as construction, school crossing guards, car washes, gardening/landscaping, QSR (Quick Serve Restaurant) chains, wildland firefighting, airport ramp workers, valets, hospitality, manufacturing, warehousing/distribution, emergency medical services, and any other organization exposed to the elements.

SIG SAUER MCX-REGULATOR: Redefining the Ranch Rifle
Thursday, March 7th, 2024NEWINGTON, N.H., (March 7, 2024) – Built on the legendary MCX platform, SIG SAUER is pleased to introduce the MCX-REGULATOR for an entirely new level of modularity. This newest addition to the MCX family combines the upper receiver of the MCX SPEAR-LT and gas piston system used by Elite Special Forces worldwide with a newly designed lower receiver, trigger and stock, forever redefining the ranch rifle.
“The heart and soul of this rifle is one of our flagship products – the legendary MCX,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “This is the first time the DNA of an Elite Special Forces battle platform, flawless function, and a short stroke gas piston system has been specifically designed and visioned for the working rifle. At SIG, we don’t subscribe to the premise that its acceptable to compromise for any purpose, including your working rifle, and this rifle will revolutionize a day at the ranch or however you use your REGULATOR.”
The MCX-REGULATOR is an aluminum frame rifle with a gas-piston operating system, a Magpul™ SGA Mossberg 500/590 traditional stock in a Gen II NiR FDE Cerakote™ for reduced IR Signature. The platform features a redesigned lower receiver compatible with all MCX upper receivers, a fully ambidextrous magazine release, safety selector, and bolt catch. The MCX-REGULATOR ships with a two-stage match trigger, a cold hammer-forged carbon steel barrel, a SIG designed muzzle brake, and is available in 7.62×39 and 5.56 calibers. The MCX-REGULATOR offers a built in Arca Rail for easy tripod mounting and ships with a 10-round magazine.
Additionally, the MCX-REGULATOR is available in with a factory installed mil-spec ROMEO2 optic. The optic features a molded glass aspheric lens with high-performance coatings for superior light transmittance and zero distortion, D.A.R.C. (Dark Adaptive Reticles and Coatings) technology to provide ideal reticle brightness and target clarity during the day or under night vision, MOTAC™ (motion-activated illumination system) automatically turns the optic off when not in use, and automatically turns it back on when it detects motion, and MAGNETAC™ (Magnetic Activation) automatically turns the optic off when holstered in a compatible holster, and on when drawn. The sight has a 7075-aluminum housing and comes with a full shroud installed to fully enclosed and seal the sight. A spring-loaded side battery tray with push-button release allows a battery change without the need to remove the optic from the firearm.
