During SOFIC we ran into MMI Textiles and they told us they had secured a license to print MultiCam webbing.
One of the things I like about their printed webbing is that the edges aren’t white.

During last week’s SOFIC Catoma exhibited their Badger Hybrid Shelter. It’s the latest addition to their Burrow family of personal shelters and it’s an interesting design combining an integrated frame system with an external pole so that it can be used indoors our out, on a cot or on the ground. Additionally, the Badger Hybrid offered lots of ventilation with zip closures to secure the 70D Ripstop nylon flaps over mesh panels. This construction means you don’t need a fly.
The Badger Hybrid is FR and Permethrin treated. Offered in Coyote or MultiCam, Made in USA or foreign assembly.
BOISE, ID – Caracal today announced that it has established offices in Boise, Idaho for its North American sales, marketing and business operations in a move designed to better serve customers and position Caracal for long-term growth in the United States firearms industry. Caracal USA offices are located at 6051 West Corporal Lane in Boise, Idaho 83704. The facility will provide Caracal USA with 2,679 square feet of combined office and warehouse space.
President of Caracal USA Christopher Sirois said “This is history in the making.” In January Caracal announced a partnership with Wilcox Industries in Newington, New Hampshire to manufacture Caracal products for the first time in the United States.
“The opening of Caracal USA offices in Idaho further signifies Caracal’s commitment to provide products and services to customers in the United States and demonstrates our considerable progress to date,” said Director of Marketing Jae Gillentine.
“With offices up and running at the New Hampshire manufacturing facility and now with the Boise, Idaho operations office, Caracal is centralized to both our materials and suppliers for manufacturing, and our customers for after sale care and support. We are pleased to be able to offer a true product support mechanism to the U.S. market,” said Caracal USA Vice President of Operations Jeffrey Spalding.
Gun related industries are thriving in Idaho, which reportedly hosts at least 180 firearms and ammunition makers. In 2015, USA Today ranked the City of Meridian, located just outside of Boise, as the best city in the United States to live in.

After getting tattooed for 3 days straight a total of 14 hrs at ShotShow in Vegas, not surprisingly Jared got a massive infection, MRSA and had to be on heavy antibiotics. I was lucky enough to see pictures of Jareds leg while healing and I can honestly say I have never seen any tattoos with the kind of lime green pus oozing from it. He had a long 4 months of recovery and damn lucky to still be walking around. I was happy to help him redo and fix up his @sigsauerinc #P228 for him. Next we fix up the rest of the leg.
