Friday, August 9th, 2013Rest In Peace Men of Extortion 17
Tuesday, August 6th, 2013Two years ago today we lost some great young Americans in a tragic aircraft crash during combat with our enemies. All told, air and ground mission crews, we lost 38 souls that night: 17 US Navy SEALs, 5 NSW Fleet Techs, 2 USAF Pararescumen, 1 USAF Combat Controller, 5 US Army National Guard and Army Reserve Aviators, 7 Afghan Commandos, and 1 Afghan interpreter. Also on board was a single NSW Working Dog.
I live in Virginia’s Tidewater and it really hit this community hard. All of them will be missed, no matter where they hailed from. There are a lot of families and friends out here missing a little piece of themselves in the passing of these men. Rest in Peace brothers, you are not forgotten.
Now, some tough talk for those of us still living. If you are sharing a tribute to these men on this one day a year like this was something special, you trivialize the sacrifice of all of the rest of those men and women who have died in service over the history of this nation. Remember them all, always.

Wherever: Whenever a situation arises where your life or the lives of those you love are in jeopardy from whatever the situation you are in, you must be prepared for it.
However: However and whatever means necessary for your survival and the survival of those you love, whether it be as simple as starting a fire or defending yourself with an AR15, you do what is necessary at all time at ALL costs.

Outdoor Retailer – Pat’s Backcountry Beer
Wednesday, July 31st, 2013Sure, it’s still only day 1 of OR but I’ve got to say that this is the most innovative product I’ve seen so far this year. Think of it…instant beer. Instant, carbonated beer, no less. Pat’s Backcountry Beer comes in a foil packet and its a simple process of adding water, carbonating the mixture and then stepping back and enjoying a glass of beer. The first two beers to hit the scene in September are the Pale Ale and Black IPA with many more to follow. I tried the Pale Ale. It looks like beer, smells like beer and tastes like beer. It’s beer! From a foil packet.
If there is any limiting factor, it is in my opinion that you have to use their carbonator bottle. This is because it is a pressure vessel with a round bottom like the old 2 lt soda bottles. You can attach a standard water filter to the top, but you can’t screw one of their eco2 Activator lids to a standard Nalgene bottle. Not a big deal, but its something to know.
In addition to the beer, they also make several instant sodas including Root Beer, Ginger Ale, Lemon Lime, Pomegranate and Cola.
Outdoor Retailer – Liberty Bottleworks
Wednesday, July 31st, 2013Liberty Bottleworks manufactures Made in USA aluminum water bottles. In fact, they make the KCRF bottles sold through Tactical Distributors. They can apply virtually any artwork to the bottles, which caught the eyes of some Army SF guys and next thing you know, they’re making bottles for the numbered Groups. Now, they’re even making bottles for USASOC to be used as reenlistment gifts. And this trend isn’t confined to just Army SOF.
This service is available for any unit or organization looking for a unique, branded item that is also practical. What’s more, they won’t sell them to anyone else but your group.

Sometime’s it isn’t us but rather the choices we make, like who we choose to associate with. Thanks William Gibson for this uplifting message.
