It’s back! Mystery Ranch has brought back one of all-time classic pieces of Dana Gleason designed gear – the Wet Rib.
The Wet Rib is a pouch that attached to your backpack’s shoulder straps via tri-glides in such a way that it doesn’t interfere with the sternum strap or hip belt. It is designed to carry a water bottle and small items that you want immediately accessible without removing your pack like food or a compass. The original Wet Ribs were also popular for carrying a handgun discreetly on the trail.
The Wet Rib is just about as handy as gear can be. Check it out at MysteryRanch.com.
Pro Tool Industries, who you probably know as the manufacturer of the venerable Woodsman’s Pal, now has a line of tactical knives. They are jumping into the tactical knife market head first with a number of new designs from some talented designers.
Rob Walker, the mastermind behind Combative Edge, is behind several of the designs including the Praesidio series of combat and back-up knives. The new tactical offerings include everything from compact back-up knives to larger machete like survival knives. The knives use tough and proven carbon steels like 1075 for the larger models and 1095 for the smaller knives. The knives are black powder coated for corrosion resistance and come with very solid looking Kydex sheaths.
You can check out all of the new tactical knives on the ProToolIndustries.net New Product page.
The Damage Industries Buttstock, M4 Carbine w/QD Sockets looks a lot like the standard M4 stock that comes on many AR-15s with collapsible stocks. However, it has an additional useful feature – QD sling swivel sockets. The sockets are located toward the front of the stock, just in front of the release lever.
These stocks are available in a wider variety of colors than your typical standard M4 stock. They have all of the usual colors like FDE, OD Green, and Black along with a really good looking darker brown called SHTF Brown.
This stock looks like a nice functional upgrade to the standard M4 stock without spending an arm and leg. Check out the Damage Industries Buttstock, M4 Carbine w/QD Sockets on DamageUSA.com. You can use the code “ARPARTS10” to receive 10% off AR parts from Damage Industries during the month of August.
The original embroidered Deafening Silence Patch from MADCAT Aviator/Operator is one of my favorite patches. It looks great and it has a tremendous story behind it. The new PVC version is just as great looking at the original. The PVC construction allows for greater detail so the patch can be made smaller while remaining just as legible as its larger counterpart.
The new PVC version of the Deafening Silence Patch is available from MADCATAO.com.
