Spanish bookmaker Boreal doesn’t get much attention here in the US but their Strider model comes highly recommended by some friends of mine.
It’s a simple trekker featuring full grain leather uppers and a Boreal Dry-Line waterproof liner.

August 2nd, 2012OR – Nature’s Coffee Kettle
August 2nd, 2012
Weighing in at less than 2 oz, Nature’s Coffee Kettle is simple to use. Just just add 4 cups (32 oz) of hot water and you get real brewed coffee. What is even cooler, is that you can replace the coffee pack with a fresh one. In addition to an organic and Colombian, hazelnut and blueberry coffee, they also offer hot chocolate, apple cider, black tea and even hot tomato soup! There’s also decaf if that’s what you are looking for.
This is great for use on a LP/OP, for LE surveillance or just out hunting with your buddies or tailgating.

Modular Skeletonized Container Sling Makes OR Debut
August 2nd, 2012
Making its debut today at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market is the Modular Skeletonized Container Sling (MSCS), a new collaborative project between ITS Tactical, Zulu Nylon Gear and Liberty Bottleworks.
Designed and manufactured by ITS Tactical and Zulu Nylon Gear right here in America, the MSCS represents a fresh new approach to a bottle carrier. Their goal was to break the mold of current bottle carrier designs that utilize a pouch-like design, adding unnecessary weight and bulk. They’ve certainly succeeded.
Featuring a lightweight skeletonized design made from HDPE stiffened double-layer webbing, textured pull-tab for a non-slip grip and shock cord retention to allow one-handed container deployment, the MSCS is fully adjustable to fit multiple container styles and diameters. It can also be mounted via MOLLE/PALS and adapted to accommodate any belt size.
I am very happy to see this project come to fruition as I have several Liberty Bottles and, other than bottle sleeves on packs, there is no way to carry them efficiently, until now.
Stay tuned for ordering info.
