Sheepdogs
This is a great poem and video about Sheep, Sheepdogs, and Wolves. If you have never read On Sheep, Sheepdogs and Wolves you can read it HERE. It is by LTC. Dave Grossman author of On Killing and On Combat, both great books.
RangerUp
Great website with some great clothing. www.rangerup.com Head on over and spend some money. This one is my favorite – the description on the website states “Just because they can’t wield a club just yet doesn’t mean it’s too early to start training.” Awesome!! (Did you notice the left hand?)

Magpul Handstop Kit and XTM Panels
Here is a look at the Magpul Handstop Kit and new XTM panels. This kit consists of the handstop component, an enhanced XTM panel (which now features a textured finish), an optional finger nub component, and a short XTM panel with the same texturing. As you can see the kit is extremely simple and works [...]
MAGPOD
This is a very simple but pretty ingenious development for your rifle (sort of). OneUp Design Labs (the same folks that brought you the MultiTasker) is offering a replacement floorplate for the PMAG that essentially turns the magazine into a defacto “bipod” (well, stability support platform). Essentially it squares off your rifle so you’ve got [...]
