Helix Operations – Arizona Vortex Tripod in Black
April 22nd, 2020The Rock Exotica Arizona Vortex is an artificial high directional system and anchor point. It offers unlimited versatility and configuration options for rescues, lowers and hauling of equipment across all types of terrain, buildings and structures.
The Vortex can be rigged as a tripod, bi-pod and gin pole. This is possible because the Vortex’s two-piece head set allows for it to be rigged as a standard tripod or in advanced applications as an easel A-frame, A-frame, sideways A-frame and also as a gin pole.
It has fully adjustable, telescoping legs that allow it to be rigged in the most challenging mountain or urban terrain.
Importantly for equipment designed to be used in remote locations in poor conditions, it is intuitive and fast to set up. Transport options are maximised by the Vortex system breaking down into 4 separate bags.
Winches are easy to attach if they are needed to ease and expedite raises and lowers.
The Arizona Vortex with other Rock Exotica products such as the Omni Block pulleys, Aztek hauling system and Kootenay tyrolean pulley, meet virtually any requirement for a portable AHD system. All of these are available in subdued colours.
Helix Operations in conjunction with R3 SAR Gear (UK Rock Exotica Distributor) have specially requested a production run in black, making it better suited to tactical climbing and rescue operations.

Comp-Tac Offers New Holster Fits for Springfield Hellcat
April 21st, 2020HOUSTON, April 21, 2020 – Comp-Tac® recently added three new holster fits for the Springfield Armory Hellcat.
These holster fits include the Warrior™ Holster, eV2™ and Infidel™ Max.
The Warrior holster is an outside the waistband (OWB) holster that was recently approved by the National Training Officers Association (NTOA). An all Kydex® pancake design is excellent for concealed carry and or general range use. The Warrior is optics friendly and will accommodate both the standard Hellcat and the OSP optics ready version.
The eV2 holster is an appendix inside the waistband (AIWB) holster designed for concealed carry. The eV2 is optics compatible and includes the Comp-Tac KICK, a piece designed to help press the grip of the gun into the body for better concealment.
The Infidel Max holster is an inside the waistband holster designed to be worn behind the hip at the 4 o’clock or 5 o’clock position. With an easy-on-easy-off single clip, this holster is a favorite for users who want the ability to put on their gun or take it off as their environment changes.
Comp-Tac started in 2001 to address the lackluster offerings of concealable holsters on the market. Their holsters soon gained popularity in the concealed carry and competition holster markets, while also becoming a trusted source for off-duty LE and undercover military members overseas. Comp-Tac joined the High Speed Gear® family in mid 2018 to compliment the brand’s already diverse offerings.
Team Wendy Joins The Fight To Protect Frontline Responders
April 21st, 2020The word “unprecedented” has been used to describe the COVID-19 pandemic; this is certainly true. Never has the world changed so quickly as in the last three months. And yet, in the midst of tragedy and uncertainty, we see countless stories of kindness and humanity, from neighbor helping neighbor to companies stepping up to help those in need.
Team Wendy is adding its efforts to the fight. The company – a critical supplier to our nation’s military, law enforcement and first responders – purchased 1,100 yards of plain weave white cotton, 800 yards of twill weave green cotton and 93 rolls of a shoelace material – enough fabric to make 10,000 cloth masks. The masks will be donated to Cleveland-area hospitals on a weekly basis.
Team Wendy is headquartered is in Cleveland, OH. Cuyahoga County leads the state of Ohio in coronavirus cases.
“We love our city, our state and this nation,” said Team Wendy CEO Jose Rizo-Patron. “We are ready to bring our experience protecting essential personnel to the fight against COVID-19. But, the health and well-being of each team member is our top priority.”
Team Wendy is operating with only essential employees onsite. Included are several dozen professional sewers. The company says a normal day for them might be to stitch chin straps that holds a helmet on the operator’s head. But these days are far from normal for our country. So, early last week, members of this team transitioned from their typical tasks to sewing cloth masks.
Team Wendy adheres to the directive of national, state and local leaders while continuing to serve the needs of the men and women who are on the front lines.
“I am so proud of this team,” Rizo-Patron said. “We humbly thank all essential workers across the country and around the world for their efforts.”

“No Ordinary Dog” – The Tale of a K9 and his Handler in Naval Special Warfare
April 21st, 2020
“No Ordinary Dog” is the amazing story of a K9 and his Handler in who served in Naval Special Warfare.
Navy SEAL Will Chesney covers his military training and service with particular attention on his becoming a Naval Special Warfare K9 Handler beginning in 2008 after six years in the Teams. His new partner was named Cairo who did everything right alongside his human counterparts. Unfortunately, that included being shot on one operation.
Although Cairo looks like a house pet, this military working dog served on numerous raids and is famous for participating in Operation Neptune Spear at Chesney’s side. A lot has been written about Cairo’s role in the mission to kill bin Laden and a lot has been wrong. “No Ordinary Dog” sets the record straight.
After the raid, they both stayed with the Command, with Cairo serving as a backup dog and Chesney returning to his role as an Operator. Unfortunately, Chesney was injured in combat in 2013, suffering a brain injury and PTSD. Traditional medicine gave little relief to his list of ailments which included migraines, chronic pain, memory issues, and depression. Teaming back up with Cairo proved cathartic for Chesney as he began to heal himself and step up to help others.
About the Authors
During his service as a SEAL, Will Chesney was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart. Now he helps his fellow veterans who suffer from traumatic brain injuries.
Co-Author Joe Lauren an award-winning journalist and writer who helped Will Chesney tell the story. His books include the New York Times bestseller “As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of the Princess Bride”.
