Do All Guns Have to Be Black?

November 19th, 2012

As gun culture 2.0 becomes more prominent don’t you think it’s about time that we see some alternative firearms colors to Black and Flat Dark Earth?

After all, what’s the point of Cerakote, DuraCoat and others producing all of those color options if they aren’t going to be put to use? Take for example this brace of Ruger pistols coated in Cerakote’s H-243 Safety Orange with H-146 Graphite Black by Rogue Tactical Coatings. Sure, it looks like a Nerf gun to me but for a Beaver support somewhere, it’s attractive.

Cerakote has a full gallery of coated guns on their site at www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/gallery that ought to get the creative juices flowing.

And, as we begin to see more and more ladies enjoying shooting sports, I’d expect to see some innovative paint schemes showing up. Believe it or not, not every woman dreams of a pink gun. We’d love to see some of your firearms out there that have received unconventional paint jobs. Why be boring?

The Eureka4 Holster

November 19th, 2012

Obviously a Spanish product, the Eureka4 holster is demonstrated by this Spanish Police woman. Eureka4 is an innovation incubator and this is their first product. However, I’m not quite sure what to say about their marketing video.

Thanks Kevin!

NEMO Equipment Donates Sleeping Bags to Hurricane Sandy Survivors

November 19th, 2012

We recently found out about a good turn that NEMO Equipment paid to their fellow Hurricane Sandy survivors. They provided us with this press release.

Our neighbors in New York and New Jersey have been hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, a fire that destroyed over 100 homes and a Nor’easter that buried the still standing homes and wreckage under several inches of snow earlier this month. While we know New Yorkers are a resilient bunch, we also know they need our help. With guidance from Robin Hood, NEMO has sent 50 sleeping bags to St. John’s Bread and Life in Brooklyn.

“We had sleeping bag samples left over from our 2011 Adventure Product Testing Program that we had set aside with the intent of donating; we just hadn’t yet picked the organization. When Hurricane Sandy and the following Nor’easter hit, we knew there’d be a need. We’re glad to be able to do something for our neighbors in New York and we’ve put the word out to other outdoor industry companies, hoping they’ll jump on board,” said Cam Brensinger, president and founder of NEMO.

For more information on how you can help in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, you can contact Robin Hood or The Red Cross.

We are BIG fans of NEMO Equipment. It’s not just about the level of innovation that they bring to shelter systems but more importantly, they are great people. And it’s things like this that show it. If you want to invest in quality outdoor equipment then take a hard look at NEMO Equipment.
