Outdoor Retailer – 5 Seas Engineering and Trading

Friday, August 2nd, 2013

5 Seas Engineering and Trading is the passion of Eagle Industries founder John Carver. He continues to develop good ideas and shared this one with me. The Patent Pending Barracks Buddy was inspired by a requirement to hang multiple hooks to organize gear. It can also be used in locations where you can’t drive nails into the wall.

Truth be told, John’s wife Gretchen came up with the idea in order to help John keep after his stuff.

They realize pretty quickly that this new invention would be great for guys in the military.

What’s more, the hooks can be moved up and down the Barracks Buddy. And, it can be hung vertically or horizontally.

Notice the guides. They are meant to help the shooter ensure he hits the mouth of the dump pouch. The mouth also incorporates elastic to ensure the mags stay inside the pouch.

You simply weave your PALS equipped pouches, holsters and other gear into the CORE Panel’s MOLLEminus field. Naturally, it will accept other attachments as well. Ive been following the development of this thing for awhile and to me, the big idea here is that you can set up your gear for specific applications no slide it into a civilian or military bag.

Battle Mug has just introduced the first 50 of the M56 Travel Incendiary Transport Systems on their website.

Designed as the ultimate tactical cigar case, the aluminum M56 is made in America, and features O-rings on both caps to insure nothing gets in, or out of your T.I.T.S. It also makes the perfect companion for your Battle Mug as it can be attached to a Picatinny rail via 30mm scope rings. Way cooler than a spare M4 carrying handle.

Yes guys, it’s all in good fun. Try it some time.

Esstac AK Flap Retainers Available from SKD Tactical

Monday, July 15th, 2013

20130714-220107.jpg

If you’ve ever tried to use bungie style retention on AK magazines you know that they tend to slip out of place. The Esstac AK Flap Retainer takes the magazine’s shape into account and are designed to catch the edge of the magazine. These are designed to be used with all 7.62 and 5.56 Boar Series Chest Rigs and Wedges but since what you are getting is the webbing bits that you attach to your existing bungie, there is no reason these won’t work with virtually any rig. Sold in packs of 4.
