RE Factor Tactical Combat Reference Guides

June 25th, 2012

In the past, we’ve written about RE Factor Tactical’s 9 Line MEDEVAC stickers. Now, they’ve added several new guides including –

9 Line UXO Report

9 Line NATO MEDEVAC

Call For Fire Format

Close Air Support Format

Each Combat Reference Guide is essentially a sticker that is specifically cut to fit on the back of a PRC-148 Radio or the buttstock of a rifle allowing the shooter to keep their weapon at hand even when calling air strikes, MEDEVACs, UXO reports or close air support. They use a tough marine-grade material for the decals to help withstand battlefield elements and ensure longevity.

Lewis Perdue Brings Us “Worst Tent, Best Tent in the World”

June 25th, 2012

Granted, these probably aren’t the best or worst tents in the world, considering the multitude of designs that show up each year, but the author’s reasoning is sound nonetheless. Other then the fact that this came from Lewis Perdue, the ‘winners’ of the two categories certainly caught my eye. In my experience, REI tends to put out a good product. And, I remember Early Winters from my youth. They were one hell of a company, having marketed the very first Gore-tex garments.

Sheriff of Baghdad Combat Bands Now Available Exclusively from MRE

June 24th, 2012

For years guys have been using retaining bands (rubber bands) for a variety of chores but they’re an air item, designed to break under load. The folks at MRE had customers asking for the issue item but they aren’t really for what most guys use them for such as attaching kit, taking the rattle out of magazines and other gear, and securing items to your weapon’s stock.

It really doesn’t make sense to secure your equipment with something that’s meant to break. So MRE worked to develop an improved combat band. I’ve had a few for awhile now and used them for several application. They don’t stretch as much as a traditional rubber band but they are one hell of a lot beefier.

Constructed of an IR signature reducing formulated silicone, SOB Combat Bands are available in Black, Coyote, Foliage Green and Tan in packs of 3, 5 or 10.

Additionally, Mission Ready Equipment is offering FREE Shipping on ALL orders of $75 or more.
