BOSS StrongBox Raising Funds For Gold Star Teen Adventures

Tuesday, June 5th, 2018

BOSS StrongBox will be hosting an fundraiser raffle online with a goal to raise over $5,000 for Gold Star Teen Adventures; a non-profit whose mission is to provide healing, mentor-ship, development, and opportunity to the children of Special Operations Service Members who lost their lives in the line of duty.

Gold Star Teen Adventures was started by Kent Solheim, a Special Operations Service Member who was seriously wounded in combat in Iraq in 2007, ultimately losing his right leg. Kent’s experiences on his road to recovery inspired the creation of Gold Star Teen Adventures. Kent, a father of two, realized that if he had not made it home, he would have still wanted his children to know the brotherhood of the Special Operations community that he had grown to love, and to share the adventures that his career had permitted him to do.

BOSS StrongBox has teamed up with other leading brands to provide over 20 different prizes with a total retail value of over $5,000. Ranging from Pelican Cases to Streamlight TLR, Blac-Rac Weapon Retention Systems, Gerber Multi-Tools and more, there will be plenty of great prizes to win.

With raffle tickets selling for only $10 each, it won’t cost you much for a chance to win.

At the end of the day, it’s all about the cause and doing what we can to help support programs like Gold Star Teen Adventures and give back to the families who have served our country and ultimately gave their lives for our freedom.

The fundraiser starts June 1st and will run through the month, ending June 29th. You’ll want to follow along on Instagram (@BossStrongBox) to get updates and watch the live raffle take place at the end of the month (note: you won’t have to watch live to win, if you’re name is pulled we’ll contact you).

FieldCraft Survival (FCS) – Every Day Mobility Go-Lite Panel-Pack

Friday, June 1st, 2018

FieldCraft Survival has released a new, patent pending go bag that allows you quick access to your equipment on the back of your vehicle seat, and the ability to quickly convert it into a go-bag. Manufactured in the U.S.A., FieldCraft using low visibility operations experience in austere environments have created a panel pack, that allows you to quickly remove Velcro adhered pouches. The problem with existing panels is most are molle attached to the back of seats and don’t allow for expedient removal. With existing panels if you needed medical equipment in an emergency you would have to unzip and remove contents from pouch.

In addition, FCS built the panel to easily detach from seat and be converted into a go-bag. A neatly stowed rollup at the bottom of the panel folds over the pouches, and the shoulder straps covertly stow behind the panel against the seat. If you are driving in austere or dusty environments where concealment or protecting the contents of your go bag is a priority, you can also zip the cover of bag onto the panel. This go-bag is mil-spec and has a lifetime warranty. In addition, $10 of every sale will benefit Gold Star Teen Adventures a non-profit supporting the children of our Special Operations service members killed in the line of duty. Click link below to purchase your pre-order of the EDM Go-Lite and save 15%.
