VertX has announced their upcoming line of wearables and organizational kit that we first hinted about at the 2013 SHOT Show. Made in collaboration with Industrial Alchemy, a leading outdoor and tactical designer, the line includes various bags and packs designed for low-profile operations and concurrent with their release a new line of rolling duffel bags. The line has been rigorously tested and tweaked since the reveal earlier this year, more recently by SME Matt Jacques of Victory First Consulting.

“Industrial Alchemy and Vertx have put some real thought and work into these bags,” Jacques advises. “There is some unexpected innovation here. New concealment elements, stowage, the incorporation of different modularity… The design of the…we can call them mounting solutions will make waves in the modular pool, It is well done. This is going to change the way people organize their gear and work on the range. There are some very different options.”

Along with the announcement came two photos exclusive to SSD, featured in this article. The brand-new line will make its debut at SHOT Show 2014.

Doomsday Castle Comes to NatGeo

Wednesday, August 7th, 2013

Prepping continues to be all the rage and even better are reality series about preppers. It appears “Doomsday Preppers” has spawned its first spinoff.

20130806-185102.jpg

At Outdoor Retailer I was checking out the ballroom when I ran across the Wise Foods booth. They sponsor the NatGeo series “Doomsday Preppers”. One of the more interesting episodes last season involved a man who had built a castle in the wilderness and was testing his progeny to determine who he would leave it to. Sounds like it has everything needed for a great reality series of its own; family conflict. And they’ve got it. Hopefully, they’ll share a trick or two. Coming August 13th.

Leupold put out a warning detailing a recent surge of counterfeit Mark 4 and Prismatic riflescopes. The scopes’ apparent origin is the People’s Republic of China, and bear many of the marks and trade dress of current Leupold & Stevens riflescopes. If a scope seems suspect, the serial number can be called in to 1-800-LEUPOLD to confirm its authenticity. The counterfeit scopes can also be identified by several characteristics not found on authentic Leupold scopes, as seen in the images below.
