PocketUp Transitions Sales to Social Media Platforms

Thursday, December 26th, 2024

I’ve known Mel Terkla for over 25 years, since before his days with Kifaru. He and his wife Rena own a great small, home run business called PocketUp. Like many other small businesses, things are tight and they’ve chosen to transition how they interact with clients. He shared the following statement regarding PocketUp which does a great job of explaining why they’ve made the choices they have:

As most of you know, we were having major website issues! Our friend set up our website 6 1/2 years ago and the software had become completely outdated as we knew nothing about software updates and such. This past week has been a headache and I won’t even get into all the details, but there is no longer a PocketUp website! We’re just a small mom and pop shop and decided not to spend the money building a new website, as we plan on retiring PocketUp in a couple years anyway! The good news is that PocketUp is still in business as usual, with new products on the way!

We’ve decided to go with the old school business plan on how it used to be before the internet, but with the advantage of now having the internet and social media! In the old days companies advertised in magazines and had catalogs, and you ordered over the phone or by mail! We will be using social media and the internet as our “magazines and catalogs”, and I will be posting about our products on our PocketUp FB page and my group page Field Packs and PocketUp! After the holidays, I will start posting more pics and details of our PocketUp gear! Actually, it will become more personal as our customers will be dealing with me for one on one service! I will be available to answer all questions in detail and supply all the photos and/or videos you need to make your decision on what PocketUp products you want! You will be able to do this on our PocketUp FB page, on Field Packs, on Messenger, by email, texting, or the old fashioned way by phone! When you have decided what you want to order, I will send you a PocketUp PayPal invoice that you can pay with a credit card or PayPal.

Here are my contacts:

–PocketUp FB page

–Field Packs and PocketUp FB page

-PM on Messenger

-Email at mel@pocketup.net or superterk@sbcglobal.net

-Text or phone at 831-566-2337

Stay tuned for some new PocketUp products for the coming new year, and of course, all Made in the USA by Rena.

Kommmandostore Launches Niemoller Webbing Pre-Order

Wednesday, December 11th, 2024

Whether you’re a fan of the history of load carriage systems or a student of the wars in Africa, Niemoller Webbing has legendary status.

Niemoller webbing gets its name from its designer, Johann Niemoller. He served as a member of the South African Defence Force’s Recces, a special forces unit that conducted deep reconnaissance and raids into enemy strongholds.

Niemoller wasn’t satisfied with the 70s-era kit he had been issued, so like many of us, he modified what he could but eventually crafted a unique load carriage harness. Other operators saw what he had done and asked for their own. Before he knew it, everyone was wearing one of his rigs.

Unfortunately, his original design was dumbed down a bit once the SADF adopted it for general issue. Eventually, Niemoller founded the company Adro during the 1980s which served as a military outfitter.

Original Niemoller webbing can go for high prices on the collector’s market so few want to use them for training or operations.

Kommandostore made it a goal to reintroduce the design and tracked Johann Niemoller down to make it happen. They’ve re-introduced this design under their North Equipment Collection.

I don’t want to call these reproductions because these are the genuine article, just of new construction, Made in South Africa, using South African materials from the company that originated the design.

Now available for pre-order. To order, and for a much more in-depth discussion of this project, visit kommandostore.com/products/sadf-niemoller-recce-webbing.
