Support SKI4theFALLEN by Buying a T-shirt
December 5th, 2018You can support SKI4theFALLEN by purchasing a t-shirt.
In March 2019, a few of our nation’s Green Berets will be competing in the Grand Traverse Ski Race. The Grand Traverse is a 40-mile alpine race, with a roughly seven thousand foot elevation change, through the Elk Mountains in Colorado, from Crested Butte to Aspen. Far too often Green Berets are sent into combat operations that the regular populace is unaware of, resulting in WIA and KIA soldiers. Unfortunately our Green Berets, along with their families, are many times left without help when something goes wrong. The Green Berets competing in the Grand Traverse are not doing this for themselves but want to raise awareness and financial support for their extended family, The Green Beret Regiment, through the Green Beret Association. Please follow their journey on Instagram @SKI4theFALLEN, or Facebook, Skifor Thefallen. Donations to the campaign can be made through gofundme.

SHOT Show Ethos by @_chris_osman_designs
December 5th, 2018In times of free swag and gun bunnies there is a special breed of wannabe ready to answer the SHOT show call. A common man with uncommon desire to copy ideas and to stop at booths only for free stuff. Forged by advertising, he stands alongside America’s finest special operations forces ready to bother them for pictures and autographs, and to project their weak way of life onto them. I am that man.
My beard, 5.11 pants, 550 cord bracelet, and hat with Velcro are symbols of hounding and harassment. Bestowed upon me by the wannabes who have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to pretend to be. By wearing an empty MOLLE pack I promise to look like someone else who chose this profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn for a few hours, once a year.
My loyalty to the other wannabes is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow show attendees always ready to bump into others without apology and take extra swag, making it harder for companies to do business. I will try every day to advertise the nature of my work and seek out companies pretending to be a brand influencer, while begging for free products for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of the SHOT show, placing the welfare and security of the swag in my roller cart before all others.
I’ve never served, have no honor, and have never seen the battlefield. My ability to be a childlike fanboy for days on end when I see former military personnel walking in the aisle, sets me apart from other men. Uncompromising interruptions of others talking are my standard. My carelessness and mission for free pictures for Instagram steadfast. My word means nothing.
I always expect to be led. In the absence of other Call of Duty players, I will fail to take charge, I will ask all everyone around me for guidance and still fail the mission. I am unable to lead by example in any aspect of my life.
I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on finding any operator who is busy during the show trying to build their business. My fellow wannabes expect me to be physically softer and not mentally prepared to walk and stand for up to 8 eight hours in a row without sitting down in the hallways. If knocked down by a roller cart I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of energy to protect my stack of moral patches, my signed Hot Shots calendar, and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.
We have no discipline. We expect imitation. The lives of my fellow wannabes and the success of the SHOT show will never depend on me. I possess no technical skill, tactical proficiency, or attention to detail. I do not personally know any operators and cannot add to the betterment of the industry; my mission is never complete.
We train for pretend and fail to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of my 200 Instagram follower’s power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by other wannabes. The execution of my duties will be slow, cumbersome, and uncoordinated when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend.
We have never fought for anything, we have nothing worth building except the pathetic tradition and reputation of a tactical fanboy that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my fellow SHOT show attendees steadies my resolve and noisily guides my every deed. I will not fail.

Brigantes Presents – High Angled Solution – Revision Snowhawk Goggle System
December 5th, 2018Cold climate operations have become an essential tactical focus for militaries around the world, with many dedicating more resources and training to maneuvers in the Arctic and other cold weather regions. This change has resulted in an increased demand for clothing and equipment that can withstand the harsh conditions that troops face in that environment.
The SnowHawk Cold Weather System is the first-ever fully integrated ballistic goggle and balaclava system offering complete face coverage, superior anti-fog performance, and ballistic protection.
Time, effort and dedication were allocated to ensuring the breathability of this cold weather system: Mesh over the mouth and nose directs breath away from the goggle; the dual-pane thermal gasket lens creates an insulated barrier; built-in top and lateral forced-air vents provide constant airflow; and, Revision’s leading OcuMax© Plus coating is applied on the inside of the lens to prevent fogging, plus a hard-coat is on the outside of the lens to resist scratching. The SnowHawk system’s balaclava design utilizes Anon’s Magnetic Facemask Integration (MFI®) technology to seamlessly integrate the goggle and balaclava, ensuring stabilization and seal, with no skin exposed. The system achieves total face and head coverage, but is also intuitively designed for ease of use and swift removal when necessary.
Available in black or white, the SnowHawk Cold Weather System is low-profile and lightweight. This efficient design ensures compatibility with helmets, binoculars, and night vision systems. With improved comfort, functionality, and stability comes enhanced endurance and situational awareness, clearly demonstrating that this weather system is not only recommended but indeed necessary for the military to face the extreme conditions in the Arctic.
