Tuff Possum Gear’s new Dispatch Rig was designed in collaboration with Instagram user @n_e_wilderness. The rig is designed to turn ALICE Pack shoulder straps into an H-harness for use with load-bearing belts.
The Dispatch Rig features closed cell foam padding for comfort. It has an 8 column PALS grid that is laser cut from Velcro/Cordura laminate material so that it can be used to attach patches, hook backed pouches, or MOLLE compatible pouches.
Forward Controls Design (FCD) is now offering a unique version of the excellent Centurion Arms C4 Rail with a number of changes based on FCD’s input and preferences.
Per Forward Controls Design:
RHF4 11.5 is a 11.5″ quad rail hand guard based on the successful Centurion Arms C4 rail system. It is a lightweight, rugged, 2 piece free float rail that provides a continuous 12 o’clock rail when installed on the upper receiver. Like the C4 system, RHF4 is a rigid rail that clamps to a standard barrel nut on all AR15, M4, and M16 type weapons systems. This design allows the installation of the rail on an upper assembly without removing the front sight post or permanently attached muzzle devices.
RHF4 incorporates Forward Controls design input: Omission of built-in QD swivel attachment points. Some like the now common front and rear located QD sockets, we prefer the location of the front sling attachment be left to individual users. A BCM rail mounted QD sling adapter is included (the QD sling adapter can be removed in the drop down menu if you don’t need it, or already have one, please see the QD sling adapter drop down menu). The rail numbers are machine engraved, and a subdued Cygnus is engraved on the right side of the RHF4.
Hill People Gear is now offering HDPE frame sheets that are precut for their pockets like the Pals Pocket, Admin Pocket, and Tara Pocket. It also fits packs like the Tarahumara and upcoming Junction Pack. These sheets are a simple and inexpensive way to make these pockets more comfortable when used as a standalone pack.
The sheets add some stiffness to the pack which helps it hold its shape instead of rounding when stuffed and helps prevent the wearer from feeling odd-shaped cargo pressing through the back of the pack. You can also find other uses for them once you are in camp like a cutting board or a way to keep dry tinder off a wet ground.
I previously used a Tarainsert for the same purpose. It adds a significant amount of organization capability but costs and weighs more. The new HDPE inserts are certainly a simpler, less expensive option.
Arbor Arms has launched a new medical line. The line includes two sizes of medical specific Nut Rucks and an entirely new pouch attachment matrix of their own design called Check-Mate.
Introducing Arbor Arms Medical Nut Rucks in two models, the Standard and the Plus this is also the introduction of our new mounting system Check-Mate™.
Like all our Nut Rucks, the Medical Nut Rucks can be worn with the removable waist strap, attached with side release buckles directly to your belt system , or with our First Spear Tube Hanger attachment.
Check-Mate™ allows for attachment over every square inch of the mating surface in both the horizontal and vertical orientations using the included elastic loops in 3 sizes and locked in with our proprietary locking bars, additionally Velcro one-wraps can be used for items such as rolls of medical tape etc.
Standard is designed to accommodate the contents of the US Army issue IFAK and the Plus is designed to accommodate contents of the USMC issue IFAK with room for a few additional items.
External – It has built in attachments for all 4 methods of use. The front has a 3×5 inch loop panel for medical patches or kill numbers. On the back of both models is the integrated two in one pocket for trauma shears and gloves, two grommet drain holes on the bottom allow the use of our Multi Mode Tourniquet attachment and web loop anchors on both sides allow the addition of 1 or 2 S-Biners.
Internal – Both the Standard and Plus have one Check-Mate™ panel on the body side that creates a flat pouch for chest seals, occlusive dressings, triage cards, 9 lines or any other flat items. This also allows for the addition of our soft armor insert for additional NIJ level IIIA abdominal protection for the wearer.
The Standard and Plus models differ in the front panel, the Standard has a streamlined flat panel with a 4 way stretch pocked on the inside that will hold additional flat items but can also stretch and accommodate additional gauze or other items. The Plus has a second Check-Mate™ panel and additional depth. The front Check-Mate™ panel also creates a second flat pocket for additional flat items or front load chest seals etc. All the pockets on both models are oriented vertically so items are securely stowed even when the flap is open.

Fact: Americans throw away enough chintzy plastic Glock sights every year to cover Rhode Island in a sea of sights 10″ deep. You can bring awareness to this environmental disaster and the plight of Rhode Island by wearing the new Glock Sight Picture Patch from Russian Roulette Clothing.
On a more serious note, the patch is available now. It shows the distintive sight picture rendered in embroidery. At 3×1.5″ it will fit the common 3×2″ loop fields found on items like caps and backpacks.
