First Spear Friday Focus – The Other Guy Softshell Jacket

April 15th, 2016

This week, we’ll take a look at one of the first clothing items introduced by FirstSpear, the Other Guy Jacket.

The Other Guy Softshell is now available on the Non-Stocking Non-Standard section. It features two zipped chest pockets, a zippered poacher pocket at the rear with zippered openings on either side and zippered upper arm pockets with Velcro fields. This Coyote color is all that is available.

There is limited sizing and an even fewer number of FR versions of this jacket on the FirstSpear site for sale. These are the original production versions, and once they are gone, they are gone. However, FirstSpear has an updated version of the Other Guy in development right now, so it will return!

1968 – SAC Simulated Emergency Response

April 14th, 2016

That’s a painfully slow drive to the aircraft. Not sure which base this is but during the same timeframe the British V Force crews would move to dispersal airfields during periods of alert and sleep in caravans within running distance of the bombers.

Thanks Casket!

It’s Spring (sort of), Time To Break Out The Zanfel

April 14th, 2016

Spring means that plants are coming back and an increased chance of contact with poison ivy.

We first mentioned Zanfel Poison Ivy Wash from Zanfel Labs during Modern Day Marine 2011 when we found out that it is designed to allow an affected person to literally wash away urushiol oil which is the toxin contained in certain plants. This toxin irritates 85% of the population. The Zanfel wash can be used at anytime after contact and on any part of the body, including the face and genitals. This stuff really works. We’ve used it several times over the past few years and it offers relief within hours. Additionally, it can be used to wash clothing and bedding to help mitigate the effects of the rash.

Zanfel Labs is offering this graphic to help instruct people how to identify the plants that secrete urushoil thereby preventing irritations before they happen. We asked if we could share it and they agreed. Also, don’t forget, poison ivy oils can stay viable for up to 5 years. Clothing, gear and footwear, in particular laces retain these oils. According to Zanfel Lans, the best cure for this issue is to wash these items with simple dishwashing liquid.

Zanfel’s Skin Wash Poison Ivy Treatment 10 oz Tube has NSN 6501-01-611-2071.

Zanfel also offers a map. Hard copies of the poster above can be requested by contacting them.

G-Code Bang Box

April 14th, 2016

The Bang Box is a small multipurpose transportable storage device that was designed to allow the user to carry as much loose ammo as needed without taking an entire box/crate with them or having to generate a bunch of trash at the range. It’s also a handy way to carry your brass home.

G-Code has this to say:

For most range sessions 2-300 rounds is just about right. Prior to going out strip the rounds from their cardboard and paper packaging and loose pack them in the Bang Box. This eliminates any trash out on the range. The wide mouth of the Bang Box makes it easy to get your big meat hooks in on your ammo supply for an easy day reloading your mags. To keep track of your lots there is a pocket sewn on the inside of the lid and the Velcro strip on the top outside of the lid is perfect for placement of one of our PVC caliber patches.

Additionally, there are no sharp corners on the bag’s Kydex base and they include an adjustable shoulder strap. As you can see there are several color combinations to choose from.
