Austere Provisions Company CORE Panel

By Matt on August 5, 2016 in Tactical Gear

It’s been a long time since I wrote about the CORE Panel from Austere Provisions Company (APC) but they recently released a new promo image that jogged my memory on this versatile piece of kit. The CORE Panel is made for APC by Blue Force Gear (BFG) from BFG’s proprietary ULTRAcomp material and using their MOLLEminus technology.

It is called a “panel” but it can also be opened up like a bag. You can attach MOLLE compatible pouches to nearly every surface of the CORE Panel. It can also accept straps and buckles along its perimeter. The simple design and versatile attachment points allow it to function as a go bag, med kit, bandoleer, or even an improvised chest rig. I have even used it as an expansion panel for a larger backpack.

You can check out our previous review of the CORE Panel for more information or visit the Austere Provisions Company website.

Armageddon Gear Mattress Covers?

By Matt on August 4, 2016 in Other

K&M Precision Rifle Training has an amazing facility in Tennessee that hosts competitions and training courses. The types of training and quality of the facility make it a destination for people coming from all over the country. Being good hosts, they have bunk house facilities on site. So, what is a precision shooting school to do when they have a bunch of mattresses to cover and every mattress cover available looks more suitable for grandma’s cabin than it does a hot bed of ballistic science?

Well, if you happen to know Tom Fuller, Armageddon Gear head honcho, you reach out to have custom Multicam mattress covers made. I imagine several six packs changed hands to make this happen.
