INDUSTRY NEWS – ATS
I’ve been a wee bit naughty everyone.
ATS has some fantastic news to share about their Cobra Packs, but I’ve been too lazy to get it posted up.
I shall put myself in the pain machine to make up for it.
They boys at ATS have some great news about the further development of their Cobra Assault pack.

REVIEW – Mystery Ranch Overload Alpha
ITEM: Overload Alpha
MANUFACTURER: Mystery Ranch
DESCRIPTION:
A specialist patrol pack of 54L, but possesses an expandable cargo area between the frame and rucksack that is designed to carry awkward objects, such as mortar tubes, ammunition boxes and long rifles.
The unique design of this pack allows it to be used in two modes: a conventionally configured top-loading patrol pack, and expanded out to a cargo carrying mode.

REVIEW – SealLine ILBE Sack 56L Assault Pack Liner
ITEM: ILBE Sack 56L Assault Pack Liner
MANUFACTURER: SealLiner
DESCRIPTION:
A heavy duty dry bag made of to keep clothing and equipment dry.
Apparently these pack liners are on issue to the US Marines, since they spend a great deal of time crossing surf zones.

REVIEW – SORD LIGHT FIELD ANORAK
ITEM: Light Field Anorak
MANUFACTURER: SORD Australia
DESCRIPTION:
As the name implies, this is an anorak. It’s designed to be a mid or outer layer for wear during cold conditions in static locations.
REVIEW NOTES:
This garment has been graciously supplied by SORD.
I have received no financial compensation for the review of this item. I have done the review (like many with supplied equipment) with the proviso that I will be painfully honest in my assessment of this item.
The Light Field Anorak has had limited field testing due to real life getting in the way.

REVIEW – Mystery Ranch ASAP
ITEM: ASAP Pack
MANUFACTURER: Mystery Ranch
DESCRIPTION:
A tri-zip assault pack, for up to 1-day use. The harness system is designed to be attached to combat body armour should the need arise.
It could be described as a smaller and simpler version of the same company’s 3 Day Assault Pack.

INDUSTRY NEWS – Spiderhole Military Gear Reviews
My wanderings across the interwebs has found another point of view from an Australian perspective.
The bloke behind Spiderhole Military Gear Reviews has far more experience of soldiering than I do, and somewhat similar views on equipment usage.
It’s great to see more Aussies getting their voices heard in the wilderness.
