Duffel Bag Backpack Project

By on July 6, 2012 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Here is an interesting project. Matt Arrell of Home Combat Magazine is gathering funding for a project that would turn used military duffel bags into useful EDC backpacks. Since the bags would be made from used duffel bags, they would be tough and no two would be the same. Matt shared some of the initial drawings with me and these bags have some real potential.

You can learn more and get on board with the project at indiegogo.com.

Update: The initial drawings for what the bags will look like have been shared on the indiegogo page and there is a new video with more information.

Custom Kydex Makers Adopting the G-Code RTI Hangers

By on July 5, 2012 in EDC, Tactical Gear

The G-Code RTI system is about as slick as it gets. It allows you to quickly and easily move kydex accessories like holsters and mag pouches from one mounting solution to another. It is an extremely adaptable and modular system that can be attached to everything from MOLLE webbing, to belts, to drop leg hangers, and everything in between. Now, the RTI Hangers appears to be enjoying some level of standardization as it has been adopted by 2 custom kydex benders: Off the Grid Concepts LLC and Fury Carry Solutions.

This type of standardization is very good for the consumer as it broadens the availability, cross-compatibility, and versatility of a system. I hope more companies in the industry will begin to follow this example.

As many of you know, the firearm training community is mourning the loss of Paul Gomez. Paul was well-liked by students and instructors alike and now many of his friends from the training industry have organized a memorial training conference to benefit his children.

The conference will take place on Saturday and Sunday, August 18-19, 2012 from 8:00am to 5:15 pm daily at the Raven Concealment Systems Range in Garrettsville, Ohio. The list of trainers present reads like a who’s who of the training industry. Registration fee for the conference is $200, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Paul Everett Gomez Memorial Fund, dedicated to the support and education of Paul’s minor children. Space is limited so sign up ASAP.

Independence Day

On this Independence Day, I hope that you will take a moment to reflect on the principles on which this nation was founded, the sacrifices that formed it and continue to keep it free, and the blessings that we enjoy in this country because of the work of so many who came before. This is a great nation and this is a great day.

Have a safe and happy Independence Day from all of us at Jerking the Trigger.
