‘Raise The Black’ Fundraiser

February 13th, 2017

We’ve had notions of “hoisting the black flag” at some point in our lives. While the thought of being a pirate is a romantic notion, the black flag has been used by Daesh to terrorize the Middle East. It’s time to take it back and there’s a way to do it. One group of men who strike fear in the hearts of ISIS are ISOF.

A group of retired SF NCOs who worked with the Iraqi Special Operations Forces from 2004-2011 want to show the world what their Iraqi brothers are doing in defense of their country.

They are raising funds to create these flags which will be shipped to Iraq and flown by ISOF as they destroy Daesh.

The flag was inspired by ISOF’s use of black uniforms and black gun trucks. They took the traditional pirate flag and replace the sabers with crossed arrows of the Special Forces branch. The term “Nous Defions” is the motto of SF’s direction action elements.

Anteris Alliance “A Pillar of Patriots” Welcomes Modern Spartan Systems

February 12th, 2017

Anteris Alliance(2A): an organizational network of outdoor manufacturers and service providers bonded by their dedication to support our Veterans and First Responders and their families through the manufacture and market insertion of top quality products and services!

Post Falls, ID. February 10, 2017 – Anteris Alliance, LLC was founded in early 2017, based on the concept of companies working together to do more than they could accomplish by themselves from demonstrations, events, sales and ultimately Veterans and First Responder support. Already, with over 32 brands and counting, the mission has taken hold at every level. Whether as a manufacturer or service provider, a buyer, or a patriot there is a way for everyone to be part of this great mission!

Modern Spartan Systems is a partially vet owned company, we have lots of friends and family that are or were in the LE and Military, and have from the beginning supported some excellent vet oriented charitable groups.
“We are excited about the concept of what Anteris Alliance is all about, who they support and how they go about it. Once I started talking to and meeting the people involved, I knew this was a great fit for us,” stated Marcus Kahn, CEO of Modern Spartan Systems, “We are here to sell top of the line products, but it is about much more than just money, iIt is about being a part of a community of “real Americans”, lots of these guys are “real American heroes” – makes me proud – this is fun!”

There is no small way to say what Modern Spartan Systems brings to the table. They are a specialized high tech chemical company that just wants to CHANGE THE SHOOTING, TRANSPORTATION & MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES. In a safe/GREEN way they are able to SOLVE certain UNIVERSAL PROBLEMS. Their formulas detoxify (deep clean metal) unlike anything else, dramatically reduce metal to metal friction (up to 90%), extend asset life (pretty much flat-line metal wear), and minimize contaminant re-adhesion (create a low stick surface). The chemistry affects the physics and performance of physical objects in very positive ways. In essence, the products OPTIMIZE the functionality, accuracy and reliability of firearms, motorized vehicles, cutting tools…! The products are proven – just not real well known – YET!

“For me this is personal. We are in the process of taking back America and making it great again. The people in our industry, and particularly in Anteris Alliance, get it. This group not only wants economic growth, but has an additional purpose of helping our vets and first responders in a way that honors the reasons that these people have made their sacrifices – WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME TEAM – I LOVE IT!”
???????Marcus Kahn – CEO

“Learning more about young companies such as Modern Spartan Systems, and what they want to accomplish beyond just selling a great product, is one of the main reasons Anteris Alliance exists!” added Casey Betzold, CEO of Anteris Alliance, “It is paramount that we have a family of companies that are dedicated to a much larger picture, and to leverage their entrepreneurial spirit to support others. Marcus and his team are a great add to the Alliance!”

Outdoor Research – Wilderness Cover

February 12th, 2017

Outdoor Research suggests these uses for their waterproof/breathable Wilderness Cover:
1) Wear it as a poncho
2) wear it as a poncho with the bottom cord cinched up around your waist
3) use it as a waterproof bivy sack
4) rig it as a mini-shelter or tarp
5) stuff it in the included stuff sack and carry it with you to use while backpacking, hunting, hanging out at a music festival, or crewing at an ultra marathon
6) keep it handy so you can show your friends all the cool stuff it can do.

In fact, OR claims the only thing you can’t do with their Wilderness Cover is use it as a raft, but they’ve obviously never built a poncho raft.

Offered in Black and Hops (seen in photos).

We are saddened to report the passing of LTG Hal Moore (USA, Ret) on Friday evening.  LTG Moore served his country for 32 years in the United States Army with combat service in both Korea and Vietnam.  In fact, you may know his story as Batallion Commander of the 1st of the 7th Cav, deployed to Vietnam as part of the 1st Cavalry Division’s 3rd Brigade.  During the fabled Battle of Ia Drang, Moore led his unit to victory over a numerically superior enemy.  This engagement was chronicled in the book, “We were Soldiers once…and young” by Moore and journalist Joseph Galloway who witnessed the battle firsthand.  The book was made into a movie named “We Were Soldiers” starring Mel Gibson.  His accomplishments didn’t stop at that the end of that battle.  LTG Moore went on to lead several other units and institute numerous policies which were adopted Army-wide as it transitioned from compulsory service to and all-volunteer force.  

He was 94.  One could only hope for a life as full as that great leader.  May he Rest In Peace.
