“Groucho” Hybrid MOLLE/ALICE War Belt System

By on May 26, 2016 in Tactical Gear

Think a war belt/battle belt/MOLLE belt has to be expensive? Think again.

The Old Grouch’s Military Surplus is offering what they call the “Groucho” Hybrid MOLLE/ALICE War Belt System and it looks like a very functional start to a war belt – just add pouches.

The Groucho consists of a MOLLE 1 Belt that has been slightly modified and ALICE Suspenders. The MOLLE 1 Belt ensure full MOLLE compatibility so you can mount a huge variety of modern pouches. The ALICE Suspenders help support the weight. It’s a simple concept executed with proven gear at an affordable price. Your belt rig may not get the most likes on Instagram but your gear will work and your wallet will still be well padded.

Kudos to The Old Grouch’s Military Surplus for putting together functional and affordable packages like this.

Oregon Trail Defense Waffle Stippling Tip

By on May 26, 2016 in Guns, Tactical Handyman

I used a wide, brass tip from a wood burning kit and a rotary tool to create a stippling tool that laid down several points at once and I outlined my ghetto process for creating it here on JTT. That was written in 2011 and I still get emails asking to buy the tips (which were never for sale). I am grateful to Oregon Trail Defense (OTD) for finally giving me a place to send to people to find a tool like the one I made.

OTD is now offering a Waffle Stippling Tip. It is much, much nicer than the janky one I made for myself. A tip like this is very efficient because it allows the user to lay down multiple points each time they contact the frame with the stippling iron. This greatly reduces the time you must spend inhaling the acrid little wisps of smoke that roll off the polymer frame of your favorite handgun.

These tips are available separately in two different versions – 12 lines per inch and 20 lines per inch. They are also available with an entire kit including the stippling iron and multiple other tips. Check out all of the stippling tools at OTD LLC.

Note: To head off the emails and to be clear – I am not saying OTD LLC ripped off my idea. People have been making and using tips like this long before I made mine. It is about time someone brought one to market.

Recycled Firefighter – The Chief Everyday Carry Backpack

By on May 25, 2016 in EDC

You may know Recycled Firefighter for their wallets made from reclaimed firehose material but they have been pushing into new materials and new gear beyond just wallets… way beyond just wallets. Their upcoming Everyday Carry Backpack called the The Chief will feature a heavy dose of Recycled Firefighter style along with a heaping helping of durability.

The Chief Everyday Carry Backpack will be constructed from black 1000D Cordura Nylon with various accent colors/materials. There will be at least 4 versions available initially including Coyote Roughout Boot Leather with Multicam Accents, Black Combat Boot Leather with Multicam Black Accents, Tan Boot Leather with MulticamArid Accents, and a Bunker Gear version. All versions will have the same organization and construction features.

The bag has a zippered slip pocket on the front behind the accent panel. The main compartment is accessed via a #10 YKK zipper that allows full, lay-flat panel loading. Inside the main compartment you’ll find 2 organizer pockets and a laptop sleeve. The shoulder straps are 3″ wide at the top so that they don’t have to be bulky in order to support weight. The straps, back panel, and bottom all use 1/2″ closed cell foam for padding and the bag features a sturdy grab handle.

Look for The Chief Everyday Carry Backpack to be available for pre-order on July 4th from Recycled Firefighter.

RE Factor Tactical Rapid Deployment Buttstock Tourniquet Holder

By on May 25, 2016 in Survival, Tactical Gear

RE Factor Tactical’s new Rapid Deployment Buttstock Tourniquet Holder is designed to play nicely with the RATS Tourniquet but it can also serve as a fuller coverage option (versus their Buttstock Tourniquet Holder) for storing CAT or SOF-T TQs.

The new Rapid Deployment Buttstock Tourniquet Holder covers the TQ with a neoprene sleeve. It attaches to your rifle (or other items) via easy to use and secure bungee straps with toggles. The back of the holder is lined with rubber grip material that prevents the holder from moving around on the buttstock.

Check out the new Rapid Deployment Buttstock Tourniquet Holder at RE Factor Tactical.
