Wednesday, September 9th, 2015

Manufacturer to Outfit Cast and Crew of Award-Winning Adventure Show

Marietta, GA – September 8, 2015 – TRU-SPEC, one of the leading suppliers of uniforms and personal equipment to the military, law enforcement and public safety markets, is excited to announce they are the official apparel provider for the award-winning, family favorite adventure show, Scaly Adventures.

Beginning this month, the third season of the popular television show will kick off, and viewers will be able to see TRU-SPEC’s MultiCam Black, TRU Pants, boonies, contractor caps, backpacks, black t-shirts and the ladies’ pro-weight t-shirt outfitting the cast on their adventures.

Scaly Adventures, also known as Pierce’s Scaly Adventures, is an E/I (educational/informational) television show featuring Richard, Tanya, and Pierce Curren as they travel around the world featuring many different exotic animals, as well as their own 32 reptiles. The purpose of the show is not only to teach what reptiles are really like, but also to inspire kids through family-friendly programming. Each episode focuses on teaching kids how they should “interact with, care for, and protect animals.”

“We are extremely proud to represent the TRU-SPEC brand in the upcoming season,” stated Tanya Curren. “When we first began Scaly Adventures, our goal was to create a credible yet compelling series that would appeal to young people. We are very proud to partner with TRU-SPEC in Season 3 as the Official Outfitter of Scaly Adventures. Their clothing and gear are not only the best you can get, but also they complete the ‘uniformed’ appearance we had been trying to achieve. TRU-SPEC truly is tough enough for the Scaly stuff!”

“At TRU-SPEC, we offer each of our loyal customers a line of trusted apparel that matches their performance – be it public safety, law enforcement, the competitive shooter or even those who work in environments that are a little more adventurous,” stated TRU-SPEC Vice President of Marketing, Darrell Jacks. “The folks at Scaly Adventures puts wear and tear on their apparel, in an effort to educate their viewers on how to properly care for and interact with animals; they need a line of apparel they can trust to move and withstand the aggressive situations they are put through, as well as remain comfortable in the different climates they endure. We’re extremely excited to partner with Scaly Adventures for this opportunity.”

Casca – A Blast From The Past

Monday, September 7th, 2015

Did you read this book like I did? If so, did you know that the Casca images by artist Darrel Millsap on the cover of every title were based on this photo of author Barry Sadler?

And, did you know that Special Forces Veteran Barry Sadler also wrote and performed the song “The Ballad of the Green Berets” which hit Number 1 on the charts in the Spring of 1966?

Sadler passed away in 1989 of complications following a gun shot wound. Although, the Casca-series of books are still being produced.

Happy 45th Paladin Press

Friday, August 21st, 2015

If you’ve never heard of Paladin Press, you need to read this and even if you have, it’s a cool walk down memory lane. I can’t believe it’s almost as old as me. Congrats guys from a long time customer amd fan!

CELEBRATING 45 YEARS OF ADVENTURE . . AND MAYHEM

In 1970, Peder Lund joined Robert Brown as a partner in a book-publishing venture previously known as Panther Publications. Lund and Brown later changed the name of the venture to Paladin Press to avoid misidentification with the then-active and highly publicized Black Panther movement. As former military men (both served in Vietnam with the U.S. Army’s Special Forces) and adventurers, Lund and Brown were convinced there was a market for books on specialized military and action/adventure topics. Both men also firmly believed that the First Amendment guaranteed Americans the right to read about whatever subjects they desired, and this became the cornerstone of Paladin’s publishing philosophy.

From 1970 to 1974, Paladin developed its stock of titles primarily by reprinting government military manuals previously available to the public only through purchase of purloined copies. In 1974, Lund and Brown split over the direction the company should take. Lund wanted to expand Paladin’s coverage of topics, while Brown wanted to start a magazine. Lund bought out Brown, who founded Soldier of Fortune magazine (SOF) in 1975.

After acquiring full ownership in Paladin, Lund started branching out beyond military subjects to topics he felt were right for the times. As the interests of the public changed over the years, Paladin’s topics expanded to include survival and self-reliance, identity change, private investigation, espionage, personal freedom, action careers, lock picking, covert surveillance and countersurveillance, explosives, knives and knife fighting, sniping, martial arts, self-defense, and police science. Although some topics fell out of favor after a period, others have remained popular.
In some areas, such as with firearm silencers and electronic eavesdropping, Paladin led the way by publishing the first works available to the public. Some of the books dealt with—but did not advocate employing—potentially illegal activities. These generated a lot of controversy—and sales.
Circumstances and changing times have caused Paladin to scale back publishing some of the more controversial material it had been known for in the past. After the settlement of the Hit Man lawsuit in 1999 and the passage of legislation making it legally treacherous to distribute information on explosives, the company stopped publishing some 80 titles on explosives, demolitions, improvised weaponry, and self-defense.

Even after 45 years in business, Lund still strives to provide readers with quality books on a variety of interesting and unusual topics. He seeks out authors who are knowledgeable in their fields and encourages them to write for his audience. Many authors are well-known experts in their fields: Kelly McCann and Lee Morrison on all aspects of close-quarters combat, John Plaster on military and police sniping, Ragnar Benson on survivalism and emergency preparedness, and many other authors with decades of personal experience in their fields.

In September, Paladin will celebrate its 45th year in business. Because we could not have done this without you, our loyal customers, we’re having a giant sale to say thank-you.
