I stopped by Blue Force Gear the other day to check out the CHAPSminus. The prototype was already enroute to a field trial. But, they did tell me about some really cool stuff coming soon. Just you wait and see. In the meantime, enjoy this awesome signage from their warehouse.

US Cav Files Chapter 11

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013

Long before the Tactical Bubble, US Cavalry dominated the military outfitting business. As a kid in the early 80s I remember my father bringing home the Cav Store catalog from the orderly room and looking in awe at all of the cool stuff for sale. Over the years it grew and grew into an empire, at one point featuring storefronts outside of several military posts in addition to the strong catalog business. US Cav has changed hands since Randy Acton was at the helm and it always seemed to me that as the war went on, they became less effective at running the business. Maybe it was because it was too retail oriented at first and then didn’t go all in once the military wholesale market boomed. At any rate, as we understand it, US Cavalry Store, Inc, and its parent, Cavalry Security Group, LLC, have filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions in the Western District of Kentucky. It’s too bad because that retail market where Soldiers will be purchasing much of their own kit is coming back, and fast.

Turns out, Cavalry Security Group, LLC loss is ERMC’s gain as we understand that they have made an offer to purchase the company (out of Chapter 11) and keep it intact. Soldiers will still have their Cav Store catalog and website but it sounds like the vendors who supplied them might be just a little nervous.

Kill Cliff Hires Brand Communication Firm Denny, Ink

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

This announcement by Sports Recovery drink Kill Cliff is great news. We are big fans of both Kill Cliff and Denny, Ink who we work with on various other brands.

Kill CLiff

Kill Cliff Recovery Drink, today announces the company has tapped Jackson Hole, Wyo.-based communications firm Denny, ink. as its public relations agency of record, effective immediately. Founded by a former U.S. Navy SEAL, Kill Cliff is pioneering a new category of sport beverages meeting the endurance and recovery requirements of the fittest.
Kill Cliff is not an energy drink. Its formula is based on the theory that reducing inflammation is an integral part of recovering from strenuous exercise and physical exertion. Each 12-ounce can of Kill Cliff contains a proprietary mix of recovery-supporting ingredients including enzymes, green tea extract, ginger root, and milk thistle among other functional nutrients.

“After a comprehensive review of agencies large and small, we chose to partner with Denny, ink. because of their authentic approach to messaging and communications, their extensive media network and their proven ability to build brand awareness,” Kill Cliff Founder Todd Ehrlich said.

Athletes and fitness experts, active and veteran military personnel, early responders and outdoors enthusiasts have all embraced the product for its recovery benefits. With only 25mg of caffeine, 15 calories and no sugar, Kill Cliff is the perfect performance drink for daily consumption.

Currently available in a tasty blood orange flavor, Kill Cliff is now sold at GNC stores nationwide and select grocery and convenience stores in the Southeast as well as online.

Test Positive For Awesome. For more information please visit www.killcliff.com.
