INDUSTRY NEWS – Oneiros Valley
Our friends at Oneiros Valley have announced some great news. Their Load Lifting Panel, which I’ve reviewed previously (see HERE) is now moving to production. They also have just given me a sneak peek of a larger Lumbar Pad for those who find the lumbar cushion on the Mystery Ranch too small, or wish better comfort with combat armour.
There are plans afoot for me to review the new Lumbar Pad in the new future, so keep watching this space.
Oneiros Valley are now offering a chance to win your own LLP and Lumbar Pad.
It’s easy to enter, all you have to do is go to their Facebook page and “Like” them.

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.

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.
