If Clarke Capital Partners has anything to say about it, Contour, makers of action cameras is coming back after closing its doors in August. Clarke Capital Partners were the high bidders at $1.925 million for the defunct company’s assets during a competitive auction by a court-appointed receiver. Geek Wire reports that while the sale has been approved by the court, it still needs to be finalized by the parties. CCP was an investor in Contour before it went out of business. Apparently, operating capital was its major challenge, defaulting on nearly $7.5 million in loans prior to closing.
We wish them well as the Contour has been very popular with shooters due to its tubular shape and mounting options,
We had a chance to see the new INVISIO® V30 at AUSA. It is simple, all-in-one headset system utilizing the utilizes the INVISIO® X5 dual in-ear headset for high noise environments. It is plug and play requiring no calibrating.

As you know, we’ve got Scouts here at SSD. Each week over on Tactical Fanboy they cover another product from Gerber. Awhile back I went out and bought one each of most of the available Bear Grylls products. We expanded it with a few other Gerber products. The deal is that they can reach into the box and try out an item so long as they write about it afterward. This is one of the write ups. Remember, it’s written by a kid.
The Bear Grylls compact multi-tool features ten components:
It’s lightweight and compact, perfect for fitting on a keychain or in a pocket. External components and nail nicks allow for easy access to tools.
I like the variety of tools present on this multi-tool. The nail nicks make them easier to get out. Having a lanyard ring on the tool is good because it can be kept on a keyring or secured to other gear. I also like the small size, but at the same time that makes it a bit harder to find if you misplace it.

If you’re into trucker hats, fishing, camouflage, or you just like Patagonia, then this hat’s for you.
As a final design project, entitled “We are on the edge”, Marie-Elsa Batteux Flahault created this Multi-Purpose jacket after some inspiration from the Preppers movement.
This project is a projection in a dystopian world where prepping becomes trendy and gets integrated in the design DNA of everyday life products. The jacket serves as an illustration of this prediction; a fashionable outfit suitable for everyday use but which also possess the features needed during a doomsday scenario.

That’s 50,000 Boy Scouts at the 1939 World’s Fair. As many of you know I am a Scout leader. I love to find bits of Scouting history and share them with my readers. I know of no better leadership program for America’s youth than the Scouting program.
This is a rare, color movie of Troop One, Flushing, New York, at the 1939 World’s Fair, escorting “Uncle Dan” Beard. Beard, ever the showman, was wearing an all-white Scout uniform with his National Scout Commissioner insignia. Ernest Martin, an early Scout professional, is with Uncle Dan. Other figures appearing in this clip are Dr. James E. West, Chief Scout Executive and J. Edgar Hoover, Chief of the F.B.I.
