Tentsile – A Unique Shelter from the UK
Friday, March 23rd, 2012We love hammocks but let’s face it, they are kind of cramped. But not anymore, at least now that Tentsile is on the scene. The advantages are obvious; stay up, off of the ground and avoid pests, water, dangerous animals and other threats.
They offer shelters to accommodate groups ranging in size from 2 – 8 persons. Tentsile will work with you to build to your requirements but generally, the larger versions of these super hammocks follow a three-pointed design with individual sleeping areas radiating out from a communal porch.
Tentsile shelters aren’t for every environment but if the conditions are right, they sure do look like a lot of fun.

Survive the Hunt Premieres 26 March on Pursuit Network
Friday, March 23rd, 2012
What happens when you take military grade technology and TTPs and apply them against big game? The new Pursuit Network series, “Survive the Hunt” that’s what. Hosted by Navy SEAL and HMFIC at Reaper Outdoors, Master Chief Ron “Reaper01” Bellan, “Survive the Hunt” takes on big game hunting, outdoor living and survival in a new way; from the perspective of the seasoned combat veteran.
Episode 1 features Operation Winterhorn, a trophy Elk hunt in South Dakota. Reaper01 and the team use sniper weapons and tactics to bag their prey. In particular, watch for the 1000 trophy shot from a PWS MK2 in 7.62 NATO.
“Survive the Hunt” premieres Monday, 26 March, 2012 at 1830. Visit www.reaperoutdoors.com to learn more.

Whether you’re out to be the Grey Man or just looking for something cool to wear off-duty, Mission Workshop’s new Arkiv System Bags might be just the thing for you. Some have called the system it a new version of MOLLE but we’ll just call it what it is, a pocket attachment system.

The Survivor Split
Monday, March 19th, 2012Every Third Thursday Signal Snowboards builds a new creation. This past week, it was the Survivor Split, definitely a snowboard fit for the likes of 007.
It separates into two individual skis for traversing flat snow-covered surfaces and also has a third-section that can be used as a long-handled shovel for digging. But it’s about more than just mobility. Signal secreted a saw blade into one of the skis. They’ve also added a strip of flint along one edge for fire starting.

Sitka Fanatic Vest
Thursday, March 8th, 2012
Sitka introduced the new Fanatic Vest at this year’s SHOT Show. Based on the Fanatic Jacket it features the same, main diagonal zipper design. This leaves a clean front for a kangaroo-style handwarmer pocket. It also offsets the zipper so there aren’t a bunch of zippers piled up on the chin. Manufactured from 133g/m2 Primaloft Sport insulation and WINDSTOPPER fabric in Forest Concealment sizes Med – 3XLge.
Remember, Sitka products are intended for hunting but the features of this vest might do well for certain tactical applications.
Coming later this year from www.SitkaGear.com.
