Readywise Adventure Meals has introduced several new menus to their ever growing catalog of freeze dried meals.
Flavors include Mango Sticky Rice, Wild Rice Risotto, Mac & Cheese, Four Bean & Vegetable Soup, Cheesy Potato Soup and Spicy Asian Style Noodles along with others.
Love Handle 7 is a gear sling for your climbing devices which features a rigid handle to help keep everything organized during storage.
Both Drifire and Wild Things are owned by National Safety Apparel so both of their products are commingled in the Wild Things booth.
Drifire has introduced a new model to their line of Ultra Light performance FR Level 1 shirts.
The new 303 is an athletic shirt at a lower price than the other two shirts. It’s also available in a convenient 3-Pack. Look for it in Tan and Coyote.
The 505 is approved by NAVAIR and offered in Tan, Coyote and OD.
The 606 features a phase change material which proactively regulates skin temperature up to +/- 3 Deg F and reduces perspiration up to 34%.
The Level 1 baselayers are available in both short and long sleeve, sizes Small – 3XLarge.
I walk into Outdoor Retailer and who do I immediately run into but Taylor Weldon of Carryology. These guys are moving up in the world with their own booth and everything.
They brought along some of their previous limited edition collaboration packs with some of the best brands out there. If you’re interested in packs, www.Carryology.com is definitely worth your time.
Great to see you guys!
Designed to accommodate up to four, the Bell Tent from The Get Out but it will fit a full size mattress for some real glamping.
Featuring mesh windows and doors, it’s 13′ in diameter and 8′ tall and weighs 70 lbs.
This version of a frog camouflage pattern kind of reminds me of the uniform worn by the GI Joe Adventurer when I was a kid.
I’m in Denver today to cover the 2022 Outdoor Retailer Snow Show.
MFT will supply the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) with its BATTLELINK™ Minimalist Stock through Precision Technic Defence Group.
Horsham, Pa. (January 2022) – Mission First Tactical, LLC (MFT™), a leader in USA-made rifle/carbine accessories and holsters, is pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract from the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) to supply it with MFT’s BATTLELINK™ Minimalist Stock. The Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) is responsible for procurement, supply, maintenance, development, and decommission of material capabilities, IT, and services for the armed Danish forces. The contract award is specifically for weapon-mounted accessories NAR for the next seven years.
The Danish Defence operates in various environments across the globe, which means that the Danish Defence uses a variety of different small arms and light weapon systems during combat and training. The Danish Defence procures equipment based on the various environments and the different needs from the operators for flexible parts to personalize and modularize the individual weapons to these environments and/or needs.
The BATTLELINK Minimalist Stock adapts and changes to the environment or operational needs by utilizing custom accessory mounts and accepts a new optimized sling configuration. All of the functional requirements are met while keeping the weight of the stock under six ounces, making it the lightest stock of its kind on the market.
The BATTLELINK Minimalist Stock is a slide-on replacement for a collapsible buttstock. The angled, non-slip, rubberized removable buttpad allows for faster presentation, even when donning body armor. It has multiple sling slots with single-point mount points, with the Quick Detach Sling mounting point positioned for optimum usage, including ambidextrous shooters. The upper section provides an enhanced cheek weld. Available in Black and Scorched Dark Earth.

The British Army has embarked on a six-month experiment, working with industry, that will focus on the feasibility of automating supplies to soldiers.
This innovative experiment, known as Project Theseus, will determine which tasks in the crucial ‘last mile’ of the battlefield can be automated. This technology will be used to transform the Army of the future.
Under Project Theseus, it is hoped the use of self-driving air or ground platforms to deliver combat supplies, including ammunition, materials, food and fuel, will reduce the need for personnel to risk their life by entering into what are typically hostile environments.
Contracts worth £3million each have been awarded to Horiba Mira, Rafael, and Marlborough Communications Limited (MCL) to provide full ground and air automated resupply systems for the tactical battlefield.
Robotic and Autonomous System capabilities will play an increasing role in delivering deployed sustainment in the near-future. Doing so will increase combat power through increasing mass and tempo of resupply, as well as reducing risk-to-life for our people, leading to an increased probability of mission success.
-MAJOR MATT MCGARVEY-MILES, SO2C ROBOTIC AND AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS, FUTURE FORCE DEVELOPMENT
On 9 December 2021, Nuneaton-based Horiba Mira demonstrated its autonomous ground and air vehicle platforms. This included an uncrewed aerial vehicle (drone) taking off, loaded with ammo boxes and dropping them to soldiers some distance away, and a ground platform loaded by soldiers with a dummy casualty evacuation, which was then sent back to the command station.
The project is part of the Army’s wider Robotics and Autonomous Systems experimentation within the Expeditionary Robotics Centre of Expertise. It has built upon the foundation of autonomous systems development from projects such as Robotic Platoon Vehicle (RPV), which predominantly focused on platform autonomy.
Major Matt McGarvey-Miles, SO2C Robotic and Autonomous Systems, Future Force Development said,
“Robotic and Autonomous System capabilities will play an increasing role in delivering deployed sustainment in the near-future. Doing so will increase combat power through increasing mass and tempo of resupply, as well as reducing risk-to-life for our people, leading to an increased probability of mission success.”
Theseus also exploits the innovation, findings and technology demonstrator investigations delivered by Dstl’s Autonomous Last Mile Re-Supply (ALMRS) project.
Theseus is looking at the entire resupply process, as a system, rather than individual platforms. It will seek to identify the most effective tasks to automate, including the use of AI tools.
Experimentation with the Field Army will take place in the UK, culminating with a large-scale experiment in March 2022.
The project will not only focus on the use of self-driving air and ground vehicles but also the autonomous processing, ordering and delivery of ammunition, fuel and other items to troops over the last mile of the battlefield. The aim is to give soldiers the ease of an Amazon-style delivery service when and where they need it most.
The project will deliver six months of funded research and development and a series of capability experiments. The autonomous systems being put through their paces are designed to augment the existing military capability, not replace it, and will enable soldiers to be redeployed to the tasks that only humans can do.
