Sneak Peak – SureFire – Dual Switch For Scout Model Lights
June 27th, 2014Rackety’s – Richmond Trouser Project
June 26th, 2014A reader recently contacted us regarding an ongoing project in the UK to develop specialty clothing for Military personnel recovering from leg injuries.
Rackety’s is a UK-based manufacturer that makes specialty clothing for children and adults with disabilities. Working closely with the Ministry of Defence, they have developed a special pant that is designed to be worn over an external fixator frame, which aids in stabilizing shattered leg bones during recovery. Called ‘Richmond Trousers’, they are named after Colonel David Richmond who helped with their early development, as he had previously suffered a gunshot wound to the leg during operations. The pants aid in reducing the risk of infection while adding comfort and useability to the wearer. The Richmond Trousers have been trialed successfully, and are now being prepped to be sold on the market place.

June 25th, 2014
This time, not a patch but one of our KCRF-branded Liberty Bottleworks bottles. A reader sent this in from Fort Polk for a JRTC rotation. Clever application of a dummy cord to keep the cap with the bottle. Keep ’em coming, guys!
