T.REX ARMS Releases the Ready Rig

Thursday, December 17th, 2020

Chest rigs have a long history of use, dating back to at least World War I. The tradition of individuals carrying extra munitions, tools, and supplies in rapid-access chest rigs has continued to this day, with both classic and modern versions widely used throughout the military world.

Today, T.REX ARMS is releasing the Ready Rig, a lightweight, low-vis chest rig designed and built for the modern citizen. Affordable, but American made. Slim and covert, but rugged enough for regular use. Comfortable, but stable. Highly adjustable, but functional right out of the box.

It’s designed around an X-harness system combined with an elastic cummerbund. The three front pockets carry 5.56/STANAG mags (with 7.62 and subgun variants coming in the future), with one small, medium, and large pocket on each of the two sides of the cummerbund for pistol mags, tools, medical kits, radios, and anything else you need to carry comfortably and accessibly.

It’s currently available in Ranger Green and Wolf Grey, with additional colors coming soon. We have designed the materials and construction around the compromised supply chains of 2020, in hopes of quick and dependable restocking after the initial sales surge.

T.REX ARMS is a family-owned company in Middle Tennessee, providing innovative Kydex holsters, nylon products, weapon accessories, medical supplies, and training aids.

Terrain 365 DTK-AT

Wednesday, December 16th, 2020

100% Rustproof, Mini-Framelock the Size of a Dog Tag

This Wednesday, December 16th, 2020 Terrain 365™ launches their DTK-AT mini-framelock folder. A very compact knife that is the size of a standard US Issue “Dog Tag”. Featuring their rustproof and edge-holding Terravantium™ blade, this mini-framelock folder can be used as a backup, hide-away, in survival kits/tins, fits in any pocket or can be worn around the neck. The “AT” designation for Terrain 365’s folders indicates a build that uses 100% non-ferrous alloys, are non-magnetic and rustproof. Any knife is only as useful as it is present on one’s person, and the DTK-AT is a very capable EDC folder in a very compact and easy to carry size.

The DTK-AT from Terrain 365 will be available in a fine industrial matte finish.

The team at Terrain 365 states,

“Our company Co-Founder Patrick introduced his first ‘dog tag” sized knife sometime back in 2003. It was a simple design and made of 100% titanium. This new DTK-AT is quite a step forward using modern framelock construction and the 100% non-ferrous and non-magnetic materials Terrain 365 is known for. Using the standard US Military issue ‘dog tag’ as the footprint for our new mini-framelock we came up with this design. It can be put into any pocket, worn around the neck and well suited for pocket survival kits/tins. The same attention to detail and carefully considered manufacturing steps that we put in our full sized edged tools are also applied to this mini-framelock. The DTK-AT is intended as a backup should you ever lose your primary and gives the EDCer that little extra piece of mind. A 100% rustproof blade and handle, a keen working edge that lasts, and a very capable cutting tool in a very compact size.”

The Terrain 365™ DTK-AT will be available for $179.00, at 1:00pm Pacific on their website Wednesday, December 16th, 2020.

New Book Shares True Stories of Veterans Living with PTSD and the Unwavering Support They Received From Their Service Dogs

Tuesday, December 15th, 2020

Author Christine Hassing brings awareness to the level of healing service dogs bring to those living with trauma in ‘Hope Has A Cold Nose’

BLOOMINGDALE, Mich. – Statistics show that twenty-two U.S. military veterans commit suicide per day. This alarming issue inspired author, mentor and inspirational speaker Christine Hassing to learn more about the experiences of veterans suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and military sexual trauma (MST). She soon discovered the remarkable impact service dogs played in their journey towards healing and recovery. Wanting to share their perspective, she collaborated with twenty-three veterans and compiled their unique stories in her recently published book, “Hope Has A Cold Nose.” This incredible collection of true tales conveys how service dogs make the difference for those reintegrating themselves into civilian life.

While earning her master’s degree, Hassing’s path intersected with a veteran and his service dog. After listening to their story, she knew that she wanted to spotlight the struggles of fellow veterans like him who are healing from trauma with the support of their furry friend. From sensing a nightmare and waking a veteran before terror takes hold, to placing a comforting paw on someone’s shoulder to ward off a panic attack, these dogs provide immeasurable support day and night.

Each chapter shares the story of a different human-canine pair as they explore their life changing relationship. The compelling testimonies from each and every storyteller in the book reminds readers of the importance of compassion and community during the recovery process for veterans.

“It is my hope that the stories within this book can raise awareness about service dogs as a healing modality for those journeying with PTSD,” says Hassing. “and to inspire those who are struggling to not lose their will to live.”

An inspiring read, “Hope Has A Cold Nose” showcases the holistic healing power of canines. Filled with extraordinary stories of resilience, compassion, survival, hope and recovery, this book is an unforgettable look at how animals can help their human counterparts heal from the deepest emotional wounds.

“Hope Has A Cold Nose”

MMI Textiles to Expand Operations with New 30,000 SF Production Facility in North Carolina

Tuesday, December 15th, 2020

Leading industrial textile supplier will shift manufacturing of narrow fabrics – including webbing and binding tape – inhouse to improve quality and lead times.

WESTLAKE, OH – December 15, 2020 – MMI Textiles Inc., a global diversified supplier of industrial and custom fabrics and textile components with military, tactical, medical, commercial and apparel expertise, has announced a major expansion of its operations. MMI will open a 30,000-square-foot production facility in North Carolina to begin producing select narrow fabrics during the first quarter of 2021.

The new facility in Lenoir, NC will be focused on manufacturing and printing narrow fabrics, including a full line of mil-spec webbing and binding tape products. The main driver behind the new operation is MMI’s CTEdge® Printed Narrow Fabrics that use patented technology to give the border of webbing and binding tape a more concealed edge, because it is woven with different color threads that allow it to blend into the materials behind it. This product line has seen momentous growth over the last few years with sales on a global scale and multiple international distributors.

“Our new facility reflects MMI’s commitment to deliver the best quality products within the best possible lead times,” explains MMI President and Founder Amy Bircher. “In addition to the investment in a new manufacturing facility, new equipment and new personnel, we have aligned with Mikan Printing, our existing print partner, to ensure quality control and timely delivery.”

MMI will hire new staff and acquire new equipment in Lenoir to ensure better control of the manufacturing process for this line. The new facility will house both MMI Textiles’ new manufacturing facility and Mikan’s print facility under one roof. Mikan is one of the country’s most respected and innovative leaders in the textile printing industry.

“We believe this significant investment – especially at a time when businesses around the globe are being challenged as never before – demonstrates our agility as an always-on, end-to-end provider and producer of innovative customer solutions,” says Bircher.

The new MMI Textiles manufacturing and print facility will be integrated under one roof to ensure efficiencies and consistencies that are better aligned with the MMI Textile brand promise of unmatched service and innovation. All sales and customer service transactions will continue to be handled through existing channels.
