From a letter penned by John Adams to Abigale Adams on July 3rd, 1776, a day after the earlier vote to declare independence…

The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.” (The Book of Abigail and John: Selected Letters of the Adams Family, 1762-1784, Harvard University Press, 1975, 142)

Happy Independence Day from JTT.

EGL Modular Expansion Panel

By on July 3, 2014 in Tactical Gear

egl_mxpExtreme Gear Labs (EGL) has released their latest expansion option, the Modular Expansion Panel (MXP), for their VOCR series of chest rigs along with the HSP D3CR and similar chest rigs. The MXP is a quick detachable MOLLE panel that attaches via 3 side release buckles to the hook Velcro panel on the back of the chest rig.

The panel features 5 columns and 2 rows of vertically oriented PALS webbing on one side and 2 columns and 5 rows of horizontally oriented PALS webbing on the other. This allows the user to mount a variety of pouches in either vertical or horizontal orientation.

EGL continues to expand the usefulness and functionality of their chest rigs. Check out their Facebook page for more details.

ZT Factory Custom

In the knife world, the term Factory Custom is a bit of an oxymoron. Zero Tolerance’s new Factory Custom concepts blurs the lines between production and custom… at least a little bit.

The ZT Factory Custom knives will contain a mix of factory parts and handmade custom parts from the custom knifemakers themselves. In the case of their first Factory Custom knive, the Rick Hinderer designed ZT 0392, this means that Hinderer is providing the following parts for the knife:

  • Steel pivot screw
  • Titanium tube spacers
  • Titanium handle screws
  • Titanium clip
  • Titanium filler tab

The hardware will be electro-anodized a vivid blue color. Different colors will be available for purchase separately from Rick Hinderer.

Companies like Zero Tolerance are already collaborating with knife makers on their designs. This seems like a natural progression to further involve the knife maker in the process of creating the design. I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.

Need a wallet? You’re in luck.

Head On Tactical makes a bi-fold wallet that is a great deal. These wallets are made from 1000D Cordura nylon with bound edges and just enough organization to be useful. The best part is that it costs just $12. I have seen similar wallets that cost twice that or more! Check it out at Head On Tactical.
