The CORE Panel
Tuesday, October 16th, 2012I asked Austere Provisions Company’s President, Michael Griffin to describe his latest creation and he shared this with us, “The CORE Panel is a concept I have been playing around with for quite a while after trying to find a good solution for a few problems. The first issue I was running into was that with all the latest and greatest lightweight and compact gear I could carry a tremendous amount of capability but I often had issues keeping things organized in both commercial and military style bags and packs. I was carrying a lot of the same items whether I was using a day pack or a messenger bag and when flying a lot of those items had to be checked. Assembling them all on the CORE Panel allowed me to organize and move items quickly and easily.”
He took the PALS modularity concept and developed the CORE Panel. It allows the user to set it up with small to medium general purpose or specialty pouches whether they be for commo gear, medical supplies, magazines, demo, signal gear or whatever else the user’s mission dictates and keep all that gear organized and easily retrieved. PALS was the perfect fit. There are already thousands of pouches out there and many users are finding themselves constantly reconfiguring their equipment. One day they are operating in an overt and it’s covert the next. The CORE Panel offers the user tremendous flexibility.
In addition to being able to mount most any MOLLE pouch, the CORE Panel has a sewn in grab handle and accessory loops on each side to allow attachment of FASTEX repair style buckles for a sling-style shoulder strap and waist band or to attach to the interior of vehicles or anywhere else the user can come up with.
The production pieces will be slightly different from the sample photos based on improvements developed during use. Word has it that Velocity Systems will be building these. Delivery times and pricing to follow soon.

Mayflower to Introduce Photographers Vest
Sunday, October 7th, 2012
That good looking fellow is Rob Curtis who writes for Gear Scout and is an honest to God war correspondent and gun enthusiast. A few years ago he started working with Mayflower to produce a custom photographer’s vest. This is the latest version and according to Mayflower, it will be available come the New Year.
Although it was originally envisioned for photography work, we think it will all be popular with medics and those in the Search and Rescue business due to the pocket layout.

Costa Leg Rig Reviewed
Monday, October 1st, 2012
Last week, Costa Ludus released their custom leg rig. Built by High Speed Gear Inc, it incorporates their TACO mag pouches mounted to a platform mounted to the belt via two 1″ straps along with a single leg strap.
Now consider this. Costa Ludus has 100 of these in stock and they sold out in less than 1 hour. When Chris Costa released his pistol, it sold out in 5 minutes and before that he had sold out a 125 custom run gun with LaRue in less than 24 hours. Those rifles were going for about $2800 a piece. You can poopoo Costa or any other tactical trainer for that manner, but when I see numbers like that, I sit up and take notice. So does industry and so should you. If anything, you need to consider why, regardless of how you feel about him.
The Gear Locker conducted a review of the product which you can read here.
As we understand it, Costa Ludus is working on a resupply. When this happens they will be available at www.costaludusgear.com. We’ve also heard there should be some solid color versions to go along with MultiCam.
