I can still remember the feelings that washed over me as I watched United Airlines Flight 175 fly into the South Tower of the World Trade Center on live television. It is something that I don’t really like remembering but, at the same time, something I don’t ever want to forget.
Take a moment today and remember those who were lost in the attacks, those who were lost in immediate response, and those who were lost in the continuing conflicts that resulted.
We could probably all use a little more Jeffersonian wisdom in out lives right about now. Check out this fine looking t-shirt from RE Factor Tactical and, if you want one, act fact because they will only be on sale through September 16th!
The rabbit hole seems to just keep going deeper and deeper in the case of 72 Tactical Sewing Company. I mentioned recently that Fight and Flight Tactical was severing ties with 72 Tactical and that Tiger Tailor claimed that 72 Tactical had ripped off their original plate carrier design. I also mentioned in that post that others had contacted me directly in regard to their dealings with 72 Tactical.
One of those who contacted me is the owner of ECHONINER Tactical. At the time, I didn’t mention this specifically because there was no documentation or clear timeline of the perceived wrong-doing. Now ECHONINER Tactical has laid out their complete dealings with 72 Tactical including several instances of alleged fraud including supporting documentation.
The entire situation is very unfortunate.
72 Tactical Sewing Company declined to comment. You can read their previous responses in the earlier post about this issue.
The wait is nearly over for the previously mentioned LANTAC USA Dragon Brake. 1000 of the devices have been packaged and shipped to those with pre-orders, dealers, and distributors.

Darrin, head honcho at Extreme Gear Labs, started a thread recently where he dispenses some wisdom about getting into the gear making business. The short version is that, much like pimpin’, gear making aint easy. It takes certain specific skills to do it well and the margins are probably not as padded as you might think. Check out the thread at M4C before you buy a sewing machine!
Darrin, AKA Egg Roll, also shows a very, very slick lumbar pack that he has been working on for some time at the link.
