Crye Precision Featured in Monocle

September 5th, 2012

Crye Precision and their invention, MultiCam, are featured in the article “The Art of Getting Lost” in issue 56 of the magazine Monocle.

At Monocle’s website is a fantastic video featuring Caleb Crye discussing what motivates his workforce and unveils a few lesser known projects like a lightweight dirt bike and new design concepts for diving equipment. Additionally, Gregg Thompson weighs in on one of my favorite causes, American manufacturing.

The magazine is worth picking up as it’s packed with facts and is very well laid out. I got mine at Barnes & Noble.

Pancake of Death

September 4th, 2012

The Pancake of Death from Monkey Edge is based on CSM Gear’s popular Circle. It allows you to sandwich your sheath knife, pistol or other item between the layers, and mount it to your equipment at any angle that suits you. 550 cord works as a backup to make sure everything stays together.

But, what they have done is taken that original Circle PALS Adapter to the next level by adding a removable outer section which attaches via hook and loop material. This section mounts into place and will hold a multitool, or medium folder and also has loops for a pen or chemlight. You can also attach morale patches or ID to the loop field.

It attaches to a platform via PALS and is Made in USA! Currently available in OD and Black.

If you love “gun camera” footage as much as I do then you are going to love The Observation Post. It’s a new website that posts daily firepower videos. You’ll see it all there, armored vehicles, infantry in contact, SOF operations, Gunship footage and UAV feeds.

It is now part of my daily Internet ritual and I recommend you check it out as well. You won’t be disappointed.
