REVIEW – Oneiros Valley Load Lifter Panel
ITEM: Load Lifter Panel
MANUFACTURER: Oneiros Valley
DESCRIPTION:
An after-market accessory for the Mystery Ranch NICE frame, to better allow more adjustability of load lifting straps attached to the shoulder harness to be lifted from one to six inches. It’s like lengthening the frame, but without extending or increasing the ride height of the frame itself.

AAR – SHOT Show, Las Vegas 2013
It’s been two years since I last attended SHOT Show in the adult entertainment capital of Las Vegas.
Once more, the sheer size of the venue and the amount of vendors and attendees was overwhelming. I actually got lost a couple of times during my wanderings. It looks like over 62 000 people passed through the gates this year.

Funny thing about service life – we gather a lot of gear as we spend any amount of time working. Then try out new equipment and concepts in an attempt to make our lives easier and more comfortable.

SHOT Show 2013 – the Lead Up
I’m packing my bags getting ready to attend the largest trade show in the world for the outdoor and shooting sports again.
Look forward to catching up with old American and international friends, and making new ones.
Is there anything in particular (products or company’s) that you mob would like me to look at and find out more about?
