Skeletonized Bottle Holder from ITS Tactical Now Available

November 16th, 2012

If you use Liberty Bottleworks bottles or other, similar bottles then you know that there isn’t currently a good way to carry them let alone something that is adaptable to a wide variety of belts and platforms. That is, until now.

First off, it’s Made in America. Second, it’s received a slight name change from the original. You see, the new Skeletonized Bottle Holder began its life as the Modular Skeletonized Container Sling. Designed and manufactured by ITS Tactical and Zulu Nylon Gear, we initially mentioned it during Summer OR when it was initially debuted, but now it’s available for purchase.

It incorporates a lightweight minimalist (2.7 oz!) design that features true one-handed operation, full adjustment to handle any container size and mounting to either MOLLE/PALS, or a standard belt.

The Skeletonized Bottle Holder features double-layer webbing as well as a HDPE stiffener for structure and support. They’ve also created a textured pull-tab for a non-slip grip with adjustable shock cord retention to facilitate one-handed container deployment and accommodate any bottle neck size.

The Skeletonized Bottle Holder features a fully-adjustable system in both width and height that can handle multiple container styles and diameters. Using the included PALS attachment system, it can be mounted virtually anywhere, including most any belt size with a simple configuration of the mounting strap.

Combat Humidor

November 16th, 2012

Just because you are deployed doesn’t mean that you have to give up the finer things in life. With that in mind comes Combat Humidor.

Apparently, the first Combat Humidor was created in November 2008 by Marine Corps Capt Boris Levin for his deployment to Iraq. He built a cedar box inside of a .50 caliber ammo can which accompanied him on 36 patrols in HMMWV’s, MRAPS, and MTVR 7 Ton in Nukhayb and Basra, Iraq. Over the next few years, Combat Humidors were given to several Marines which they took on deployments to Afghanistan, Oman, Ghana, Senegal, Haiti, Kuwait, and Iraq.

According to Combat Humidors they construct their two-layer, airtight creations in Wilmington, NC from the best quality Spanish cedar and military ammunition cans. Spanish cedar is utilized in the construction of cigar humidors around the world primarily because it has a neutral aroma that does not transfer its fragrance on to cigars within its confines. It is lightweight, aromatic wood that has an excellent resistance to wood-boring insects, and rot-resistance outdoors. The exterior of the Combat Humidor is an M13 7.62×51 linked ammo can that has been stripped of any surface rust, sprayed with Rustoleum primer and painted coyote desert tan with a slight rough texture to recreate US military vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Combat Humidors specializes in customer creations so contact them to have a personalized version made for you or a loved one.

November 15th, 2012

“I’m happy to join the team at SKD and eager to embrace the new challenges that the Tactical Gear industry has to offer,” said Hovey, who’s responsibilities will include running SKD’s new Inventory Management System and strengthening strategic vendor relationships. His biggest challenge will likely be his transition from corporate business attire to dealing with SKD traditions such as “Pajama Tuesdays”.

“SKD is an industry-leading operation despite being founded and run by ass-clowns who spend their time trying to set stuff on fire and blow things up,” said friend of the business Chris Costa. “It’s about time they get a legitimate business mind involved at the office.”
