White Out Overwhites from Wild Things – The New Heat for the Snow

August 27th, 2020

Travel to Vail, Colorado and you’ll find a 13’ tall ‘Ski Trooper’ monument honoring the formation of the Tenth Mountain Division. Decked out with skis and old-school Overwhites – the Ski Troopers of the Tenth, and the Finnish that inspired them, might be seen as founding fathers of Overwhites in the military.

And if the Tenth represented the introduction of Overwhites to the military, it could be said that 1969’s ‘Where Eagles Dare’ and an Overwhites clad Clint Eastwood was Hollywood’s introduction of Overwhites to the masses.

Fast-forward: times have changed, and so have White Out Overwhites®. Still a favorite with select military units, as well as Hollywood, Overwhites provide concealment when the snow flies – deployed, or on the screen.

 

When there’s a need for Overwhites today, military units, the brands and community that support them, as well as Hollywood, all call Wild Things:

Wild Things White Out Overwhites use a functional and durable near-IR treated 70-denier nylon in MultiCam Alpine for lightweight, low bulk, and low visibility. This both blocks the wind and provides a durable water-resistant layer in your kit.

 

So when you’re moving into higher altitudes or across snowpack (or maybe in a Hollywood production), drop Wild Things a line: we’re here to help you choose the right layers to meet your needs and your budget – from base layers to White Out Overwhites – we can handle whatever weather Mother Nature throws your way. Fear No Element™.

ADS Federal Range Day 2020 – Bounce Imaging Tactical Throwable Cameras

August 26th, 2020

Bounce Imaging Tactical Throwable Cameras are a ball-shaped camera system with multiple lenses embedded. All six of the cameras are on simultaneously, so you can see 360 degrees all of the time. Output is to a smartphone/tablet or VR via Google Cardboard. Range is up to 60 feet.

The cameras maintain 360 deg horizontal stability. That’s vertical and horizontal video stability even as the system rolls, bounces, or hangs on a rope.

What’s more, the imagery can be shared. There’s a camera-generated WiFi network for the local team, long-range extenders, and cloud-sharing of video on the other side of the state, country, or world.

Durable, the Tactical Throwable Camera has been tested to sustain up to 25 drops from seven feet into concrete.

ADS Federal Range Day 20 – Otis Suppressor Cleaner and Reclaimer

August 26th, 2020

We gave you a sneak peek of the Otis Suppressor Cleaner and Reclaimer during SHOT Show. Since then, it’s gotten a new name and they’ve finalized the design as well as introduced a Six Unit System to complement the original, Single Unit System. As you can see, the Six Unit System is much larger, and is best floor mounted.

The OSCR-1 has a basket for individual components which the larger model does not. However, the OSCR-6 incorporates wheels and handles for movement.

Regardless of size, the OSCR removed more than 90% of carbon, copper, and lead fouling from the suppressor’s baffles in as little as two hours.
