Several of my friends asked me where I got my cool Flammenwerfer T-shirt. When I replied that it came in my last Little Box of Violence they were dejected to a man, because they weren’t subscribers. Lucky for them, VLMS has decided to offer it to the masses.
Light ’em up!

Oxnard, CA – September 1, 2016 – ZEV Technologies is proud to announce sponsored competitive shooter K.C. Eusebio won the Carry Optics division at the 2016 World Speed Shooting Championship and Steel Challenge held at the Hogue Action Pistol Range in San Louis Obispo, CA.
On his way to placing first overall in the Optics Carry Division, K.C. set a new world record with an overall time of 83.25.
“The match was challenging as ever with some of the best competition in the world. My ZEV Carry Optics Pistol equipped with a Leupold® Delta Point PRO helped me accomplish my goal of setting a new world record. Equipment is just as important as performance, ZEV’s products give me the confidence to bring home a victory where ever I go.” said Eusebio.
“This marks the second time that K.C. has won a World Championship with a ZEV pistol. His first with ZEV was the 2013 Open World Steel Challenge Speed Championship, making this his 6th overall division Championship win” stated Dave Roberts, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for ZEV Technologies. “We couldn’t be more proud of K.C. and all his accomplishments. To be a part of two championships and now a World Record is pretty special.”
I really like the FirstSpear Fight Strap. Its utility became immediately evident when I saw a friend storing a fully loaded Fight Strap in his rifle bag. It was a very low profile, yet fully functional way to carry magazines and it fit perfectly when kept right with the rifle. If he had to just grab one bag, he would have everything he needed right there.
Granted, the Fight Strap is more bandoleer than chest rig, with its single shoulder and waist straps, but it will do in a pinch and is a great way to resupply others who don’t necessarily have dedicated load carrying systems. I’ve even gotten to where I keep one in a rifle case as well; just in case.
The Fight Strap is also designed to be used as a dedicated component in several of FirstSpear’s storage and transport bags.
Fight Straps are available in a wide range of magazine options, including: 5.56, 7.62, AK-47, MP5, UMP, P90 as well as a modular model you can configure any way you wish. In fact, the Modular version has been pretty popular with units, departments, and agencies.
Offered in Black, Khaki, Coyote, Ranger Green, and MultiCam.

One could easily start an entire webpage entitled, “You never know where he’ll show up” based on the travels of long time SSD friend, Kel Whelan.
This time he sent us this Picture with a note, “Coast Guard. Reykjavik, Iceland this afternoon.”
To many, Communism is a fairy tale or a ghost story, told to keep children in line. But to me, and many of those who proceeded me, it was an evil that held generation after generation in subjugation.

VANCOUVER, B.C. – September 1, 2016 – Mission Ready Services Inc. (“Mission Ready” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: MRS) is pleased to announce that it signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) on August 30, 2016 to acquire Wild Things, LLC (“Wild Things)”) for USD $4.5MM. Founded in 1981, Wild Things is a leading manufacturer of technical outerwear and gear with products currently in the field with every branch of the US Armed Forces.
Under the terms of the LOI, Mission Ready will acquire the business and certain assets of Wild Things, LLC for USD $4.5MM consisting of $3.5MM cash paid on closing of the acquisition (the “Close”) and USD $1MM in Convertible Promissory Notes (each $25,000 Convertible Promissory Note, a “Note”). The Notes mature 2-years from date of issuance and are convertible at $0.10 during the first year subsequent to the Close and $0.15 during the second year. The Notes will bear interest at the United States Applicable Federal Rate at the date of closing, compounded semi-annually, and may be redeemed by Mission Ready before the maturity date upon thirty-day notice to the Note holder. Mission Ready is working with a New York-based investment firm to finalize a commitment of $3.5MM in debt financing to satisfy the cash portion of the purchase price.
Based in Middletown, Rhode Island, Wild Things has been in business for 35 years and produces highly engineered technical garments for the U.S. Military, including Marines, Special Forces, including U.S. Navy Seals and other elite units, Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies, law enforcement, alpinists, explorers, climbers, bikers, campers, hikers, and outdoors enthusiasts worldwide. In addition, Wild Things has sold to military customers in 10 countries. The extensive portfolio of Wild Things products can be viewed on its website at http://www.wildthingsgear.com/
“We believe these companies, when combined, will allow us to become one of the leaders in the industry in designing, manufacturing and providing state of the art products to law enforcement and special forces personnel throughout the world. We have high expectations for the company. Guided by safety and superior technology, its leaders are passionately focused on customers’ physical protection and on building shareholder value” said Jack Wyant, Wild Things director and Managing Director of Blue Chip Venture Company, an investor in Wild Things.
The Wild Things team is led by Ed Schmults who has extensive experience in the outdoor apparel business including Patagonia, and Moonstone Mountain Equipment. Mr. Schmults is the former Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) and a current Board member for Vera Bradley. Also, he is a former member of the Board of Trustees of National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), an international leadership and outdoor skills school, from 2009 – 2015. Ed served on the board of the Outdoor Industry Association from June of 2013 – August 2015. In addition, Ed serves as a mentor to retiring Special Forces members through his involvement with the Commit Foundation and the Station Foundation.
“This transaction enhances Wild Things ability to serve our customers – military and consumer – by improving our product development, manufacturing and sales capabilities, “says Ed Schmults.
“The entire Wild Things team is excited about the opportunities ahead.”
Rod Reum, CEO of Mission Ready states, “As Mission Ready focuses its business model to become a premier manufacturer, we are excited with the prospect of adding the Wild Things team and business to the Company’s current manufacturing business. The combining of the entities will allow us economies of scale, open new markets and allow access to additional sales channels for both businesses.”
Mission Ready expects to close the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2016, subject to financing and regulatory approval.
