MDM – High Ground

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

High Ground unveiled their new HG831 Pack. It’s a natural progression of the HG830 Frame which has been very popular with JTACs and other personnel who like to use its PALS field to configure their equipment for specific missions. The JTAC community came to High Ground looking for a means to adapt a pack to the frame for multi-day missions.

High Ground’s answer is the HG831 which integrates their 3-Day Pack Bag unto the frame. It retains PALS compatibility for mission equipment such as radios but adds the versatility of a compartmented 3-Day bag riding piggy back.

Mystery Ranch Spartan Update

Thursday, September 20th, 2012

Earlier this week we told you that Mystery Ranch had released the long awaited Spartan pack to their line. Several readers called and received confusing info. We want to clear things up. The Spartan is in MR’s latest catalog which should debut at next week’s Modern Day Marine. Additionally, it has been matrixed and is in MR’s system meaning it can be ordered.

They have packs in stock but pre-orders and a positive reaction from Tuesday’s story have wiped that initial run those out. The next run of 20 will hit the production floor early next week and they will start shipping those Monday October 15th. From there, they are looking at a larger production run, probably 40 of each. For now they are offering them in MultiCam and Coyote, but may entertain making them in Black if they get enough interest.

If you want one, contact MR. These are being snatched up as quickly as they are built.

Maneuver Conference – Mystery Ranch

Wednesday, September 19th, 2012

Mystery Ranch gave me a peak behind the curtain and what did I see? A carrier for 3 rounds for the “Goose”. This carrier is designed to work with the MR 3-Day Overload that we profiled earlier in the week and accommodates the Carl Gustav’s 84mm rounds in their shipping tubes.

Maneuver Conference – Mystery Ranch – The Spartan Has Arrived

Tuesday, September 18th, 2012

The Mystery Ranch Spartan is finally available. MR has made their final tweaks and it’s ready to go.

I harassed the guys saying it had finally emerged from development hell but they corrected me and reminded me that they just wanted to get it right. And right I’d say it is. For starters, it boasts 1200 cu in of Mystery Ranch load carriage awesomeness. it also has that super cool 2-zip access and is great for fighting out of your buddy’s pack.

The Spartan also incorporates the Spadelock as well as Propel’s QuietLoop.

Call, email, telegraph, send smoke signals. No matter what you do get in on this. Available now from www.MysteryRanch.com. But I’ll warn you, it’s so new that it isn’t even on the site yet.

Maneuver Conference – Drift Dry USA

Tuesday, September 18th, 2012

Drift Dry USA finds its roots in the SCUBA industry and has taken their history in maritime technologies to integrate flotation into combat gear. Now, they’ve taken their experience with stabilizing SCUBA loads in the back to develop a new ALICE-style frame system.

They’ve integrated TIG welding technologies from NASCAR and aviation industries. They’ve made a frame that is stronger and lighter, initially with still and now with aluminum. Additionally, Drift Dry has eliminated those pesky rivets and other unnecessary components that are the week points of the frame.

You may also notice the padded captive suspension system. It integrates load lifters at the shoulders and the waist belt is precurved to fit the hips.

They’ve also introduced a pack bag for the frame with an internal, adjustable radio pouch as well as dual internal hydration sleeves with unique external drain holes. The Mission Patrol pack also incorporates A removable rain cover.

Dry Drift USA products are available from Source One Distributors.

MR 3-Zip Overload

Monday, September 17th, 2012

The Mystery Ranch 3-Zip Overload was designed specifically to accommodate the carriage of a weapon (rifle, crew-served or rocket) which fits vertically in between the frame and pack bag. There is PALS webbing down the sides of the bag but nothing overwhelming. Additionally, there are open top side pockets toward the bottom for water bottles or other items you need quick access to.

Equipped with a NICE Frame, it integrates the Futura Yoke system and the Contour Lumbar Wrap. The waist belt can also be upgraded to a model with pockets.

The 3-Zip Overload boasts 3000 cubic inch (49 Liters) and incorporates the 3-Zip opening that acts as a top/panel loading hybrid. The frame also incorporates the latest removable Bolstered Ventilation and Stability (BVS) System which stabilizes the pack when you are wearing armor with a rear plate. The pack is available in Coyote, Foliage, or MultiCam.

Sniper Company published a pretty extensive review of the pack that you should check out. www.snipercompany.com
