S&S Precision has made up 25 custom long boards to sell to the public. They are made in the 757 and cost $327.57 each.
If you are interested in purchasing a board, you’ll have to call the shop directly at 757-453-6695 to place an order. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, so you’ll have to get one while you still can.
Before there was Uncle Sam, America was personified by a lady named Columbia. Wearing a Phrygian cap and adorned with the red, white and blue, she fell out of favor after World War I.
Columbia has always had a special place in my heart and this war bond poster remains my favorite. The recent rantgasm over the use of flag-like garments caused me to look at some illustrations of our American lady. I had forgotten how closely associated she was with the Stars and Stripes.
We put this picture up on our Facebook page and it garnered a lot of attention, so in the interest of cool, custom gear, here’s the story:
The Team USA RWB (Red, White, and Blue) Plate Carrier was made by Fayetteville-based Gellman Gear Tactical as a small run for a specific group. Recently, they posted an auction on eBay for a custom version made to order for the winner. It was listed as being made from 1000D nylon with MilSpec elastic/webbing, buckles, and thread, removable shoulder pads, and a three (3) cell pouch “sized for 12-24 oz canned beverages”, built around the SAPI plate size requested. Although that auction has ended, don’t fret – there may be more of these carriers available at an undisclosed time if Gellman is able to source the proper hardware.
Keep an eye out on the Gellman Gear Tactical Facebook page and gellmangear.wordpress.com for more information.
This time I received a photo from a buddy at the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona Spain.
His advise to his go fellow runners, “If you aren’t carrying at least 7.62, Run.”
I ran into my friend Guy Cramer at Warrior East and he was sporting our giveaway reflective patch on his US4CES pack.
If you’re at the expo, stop by CeJay Engineering to pick up yours.
If you are attending Warrior East today or tomorrow be sure to stop by the CeJay Engineering booth to pick up your SSD logo reflective patch and sticker pack. These reflective items are made by Warrior GloTape and are not ITAR controlled. They are available on a first come, first served basis and once they are gone, that’s it.
