Prometheus Design Werx – Carry-all-Bag
November 16th, 2016PDW’s new Carry-all-Bag (CaB-2) looks like a great way to carry their Tactical Picnic Blanket on outings.
San Francisco based specialty outdoor products brand Prometheus Design Werx releases their universal “Carry All Tote Bag” designed to haul your extra camping gear and supplies, overlanding recovery equipment, firewood, a trip to the farmer’s market or grocery store, and anytime you need a rugged tote to carry everyday items. Made of rugged 1000D Cordura nylon, and constructed with full wrap webbing for extra strength, this simple yet highly versatile tote bag will tackle any random loads that you can fit inside it. PDW encourages users to stop using the plastic throw-away bags and get onboard with the re-usable CaB-2 for your daily carry needs. Featuring short and long carry straps, 4 organizer pockets, it also perfectly nests the American paper grocery bag. Designed and made in USA.
The Carry-All-Bag-2 is a part of their Made in USA CORE-Line of products by Prometheus Design Werx, and will be available in Black, OD Green, Coyote Brown and Wolf Gray.
The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:
“We wanted to create something very straightforward, durable, yet simple to use on a daily basis to haul those random loads when running out the door, a trip to the store, or heading out into the back country. It carries a load of firewood that is just about the perfect average weight that just about any adult can manage and on those raining stormy days that destroys the paper grocery bag, they’ll just slip right inside the CaB-2 and get your groceries safely home. Our families have used them for picking apples, tossing in supplies for a spontaneous picnic, trips to the beach, rock climbing gear, last minute camping to overlanding supplies, as a central brass collection point and even as an impromptu ice bucket to keep drinks cold. This bag’s strength is in their simplicity and broad spectrum of use. Made wit the classic proven 1000D Cordura means season after season of use. We always keep a few extra in our 4x4s and on the coat rack by the door.”
The PDW CAB-2 will be available for purchase on Wednesday, Nov 16, 2016 at 1:00pm PST via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
Prometheus Design Werx – Technical Picnic Blanket
November 16th, 2016I love picnics and I love blankets. Although the new T.P.B. From PDW, is called a picnic blanket, and I might use it as such, it’s so much more, and I’m looking forward to ordering one just as soon as they are up.
San Francisco based specialty outdoor products brand Prometheus Design Werx releases their packable, multi-purpose T.P.B. (Technical “Picnic” Blanket) designed to be used in a variety of roles, from an insulated ground sheet, weatherproof wilderness throw, picnic blanket, to stadium blanket. The lightweight yet durable nylon ripstop ground liner is impregnated with silicone to repel water and also coated with PU for extra protection against the elements. The T.P.B. is inspired by the classic “cowboy bedroll,” but PDW’s take is updated with modern, lighter, technical materials with the silnylon, tried and true wool Melton, and yet this 54” x 84” back country throw rolls up into the included small stuff sack to easily stash in your pack. Designed and made in USA.
The T.P.B. is part of the Made in USA CORE-Line of products by Prometheus Design Werx, and will be available in Charcoal Gray wool Melton with dark OD Green silnylon.
The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:
“We came up with the product name of ‘Technical Picnic Blanket’ with a bit of a chuckle. As serious as a piece of backcountry gear this is, it certainly can be casually used as a picnic blanket but will kick the pants off of those crappy plasticky jobs you see being offered at big box stores. We really felt there was something missing from our gear line up and this product really fills that niche. We’ve used it hiking, backpacking, overlanding, the beach, watching fireworks and meteor showers, and lining the floor of our tent when snow camping. The seasoned outdoorsman knows that wool insulates even when wet and we’ve found that the weight of the wool Melton we selected to be a great balance between packed trail weight and all season use. This best made product uses custom milled lightweight but durable 30D nylon ripstop that has been impregnated with silicone for the hydrophobic properties and also lined it with PU for even more protection from the elements. The 14 oz wool Melton is sourced from a US supplier that has been in operation since 1922. It’s surprisingly soft to the touch and uses 15% nylon fibers to add that extra touch of durability to the 85% wool content. There are 6 staking points to secure it to the ground and the entire 54” x 84” foot print rolls up into its 6.5” x 11” stuff sack to easily stow into just about any pack. We also always keep an extra one in the 4×4 for just in case.”
The PDW CAB-2 will be available for purchase on Wednesday, Nov 16, 2016 at 1:00pm PST via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
