From 0900 Eastern 13 June thru 0900 Eastern 20 June, GGT is offering the best Meat Eater outer wear on the planet to you at 30% off in appreciation of Flag Day (that’s 14 June for those of you who ask, “What’s Flag Day?”).
A lot of readers are interested in Arc’teryx but feel that price is a bar to entry. 30% off is a very significant sale so I’d recommend take advantage of this if you’ve had your eye on something.

From its inception, the Arc’teryx LEAF Khard pack was designed to accept internal pouches to help organize the load. But this was something that Arc’teryx left to industry to develop so that there would be several options available. LBX Tactical initially came up with 37 pockets that were unveiled at SHOT Show. Now, many of them are available through Tactical Distributors.

Released at SHOT Show, the Khyber packs from Arc’teryx LEAF are offered in 50l and 80l sizes. These lightweight packs are designed for use as recce packs. Tactical Fanboy is using a Khyber 80 during next week’s Mountain Problem Solver Course by Haley Strategic Partners. We are looking forward to his report.
• Clean streamlined design and full integrated features
• Constructed with extremely durable 500D Cordura fabric
• Lightweight: 1.8kg / 63oz for Khyber 50 and 2.2kg / 78oz for Khyber

The guys from Arc’teryx LEAF showed me the new Haku Rope Bag at OR Winter Market. When John Faherty demonstrated it, the Haku certainly lived up to its name, the Hawaiian word for ‘invention.’ Sure, it made for ropes, but once you see the demonstration in this video, you’re going to come up with loads of other uses, including SSE. Just lay it out, the bright yellow color offering excellent contracts from the ground, and throw everything you find onto the bag’s tarp. Then grab the four corners of the tarp, gibe it a shake and everything slides right into the bag. Brilliant! What’s more, there is a simple strap for hasty carry or you can take an extra few seconds and compress the load.
About 9 months ago, SSD showed you the first images of a new family of travel luggage from Arc’teryx. Now, they are available for sale and the folks at Mission Ready Equipment decided to do an experiment with the carry on compatible Covert Case (that’s what the C/O stands for). They wanted to see how much they could fit in the bag. Considering the bag measures only 20″ x 12″ x 9″, it’s a lot.
They were also kind enough to share a trick with us. They added SOB Combat Bands to the zipper pulls. Not so sure about traveling on a plane with the .45 in the outer pocket though. Guess it depends on who you are. But for standard car travel that might be just the ticket.
The Covert Case C/O is available in Carbon Copy or Utility Green from www.missionreadyequipment.com.
I use the Arc’teryx Conveyor Belt to keep my pants up. The Conveyor Belt features an aluminum buckle and texturized nylon webbing with colored stitch details. Nothing super fancy here guys, it isn’t a gun belt but it does look good with my pants.
Offered in Black and Nubian Brown in Medium or Large. You’ll need to do a web search to find these as availability is somewhat fragmented based on color and size.
