MATBOCK Monday – Jungle LIFT (J-LIFT)

Monday, July 18th, 2016

Over the next few weeks, we will be featuring the team from MATBOCK during our MATBOCK Monday series. The two founders Zach Steinbock and Sean Matson, have been in the industry for years and continue to find ways to innovate. MATBOCK is a Virginia Beach small business and we are excited to see where this featured series is going to lead us.

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit the MATBOCK team and they shared with me a new product that was sitting on their work table (fun fact: the tables in their shop are over 40 years old. They were in Sean’s grandmother’s custom drapery shop), the Jungle LIFT (J-LIFT). The J-LIFT is the latest product to join the family of products in the LIFT System. Developed to enhance the capability of the LIFT System, but also support a South American military unit.


The Jungle is a tough environment and this litter is equally as tough. Made from neoprene coated nylon, it will not absorb water and strong enough to carry over 400lbs. Additionally, the litter can double as a hammock; however, we would recommend a bug net on the bottom and top. Lastly, the J-LIFT is compatible with the Combat Carbon Poles.


3.5” Wide x 14 “ Long while stowed
26” Wide x 78” Long when deployed

Weight: 1.6lbs (with carrier)
Weight with poles: 4.1lbs

Stay Strong Baton Rouge

Sunday, July 17th, 2016

Baton Rouge has had some rough times lately, but the murder of three police officers and the wounding of four more, by persons unknown, is just too much.  


BRPD and the local community remain in our thoughts and prayers.  May they find peace and heal any division.

For God’s sake, let’s stay safe out there!

High Gear Evolution ADAPTIV

Sunday, July 17th, 2016

During last week’s Warrior East, former SEAL and his assistants conducted a couple of combatives demonstrations while wearing Adaptiv suits from LBX Tactical.

This video featuring Dom and Tony Blauer will give you some background on the High Gear suits which are available through LBX Tactical. While High Gear suits protect the user, they are built in such a way to allow the wearer to feel hits unlike other suits on the market which cocoon the wearer and result in unrealistic training.

LBT Inc – Ridgeline Ruck

Saturday, July 16th, 2016

At Warrior East, LBT Inc showed a new maritime friendly update to the Ridgeline Ruck that was featured at SHOT Show this past year.

The pack has a removable lid which can be used in its own right and incorporates a zippered opening at the bottom.  The Ridgelind is constructed from a combination of HANK along with mesh or 4-way stretch softshell material for pockets.  These materials don’t absorb a lot of water, as the pack is intended for maritime use. 

The pack is adaptable to the ALICE frame or LBT’s proprietary RSS (ruck suspension system) which is based on their CAS (comfort armor suspension) to alleviate stress on the shoulders by transferring most of the weight to the hip  belt. 

The photo below gives you a little detail on how the padded suspension system works.  It’s adjustable for height.

Warrior East – Knight’s Armament Corp LMG

Friday, July 15th, 2016

Knight’s showed the latest version of the 5.56mm Light Machine Gun. You may also notice a new suppressor. The LMG is starting to gain momentum, particularly overseas. Maybe, we’ll see a 7.62mm big brother in the future.

Warrior East – Scubapro Helmet Dive Mask

Friday, July 15th, 2016

Scubapro has come up with an adapter for their dive masks which allow them to be connected into Ops-Core’s ARC rail fitted to a FAST Helmet in a manner similar to O2 masks for MFF ops. This device really increases the versatility of the FAST Helmet.

Here, it’s fitted to the Synergy Twin mask but the straps can be used with any of Scubapro’s masks with these quick attach clips. The strap can easily be swapped out for a traditional behind-the-head version when needed.

Look for 4th quarter availability.
