Hunting

I will let everyone in on a little secret. There's really nothing new here. Just make something out of blaze orange and it makes it a hunting item. But it does offer a new perspective on my merchandise and hopefully sparks new ideas for my future customers and their custom needs. Here are just a few pics of some orders I have already filled for some current customers of mine who are avid Elk hunters in Colorado. Once again, these are all survival items that can be unwoven and the cordage used for endless purposes such as for shelter construction, equipment repair, signaling (it is blaze orange after all), first aid (securing a splint), trail marking, small game trap making, the inner cords for fishing, preventing other hunters from shooting you, etc. Just use your imagination and let necessity be your guide.

Ranger Beads

I can't take credit for this item since it was first used by legionnaires among the Roman Army more than two thousand years ago but I have at least redesigned it. They are commonly called "Ranger Beads" and were highly used by the special forces during the Vietnam Conflict and are popular among hunters, hikers, campers and of course military personnel today in the Middle East. Used for land navigation they allow you to keep very accurate estimates of your distance traveled and can be configured to either standard measurement or the more common metric measurement used in conjunction with UTM grid based maps such as would be used in the military.

They are configured as follows:
Metric:
4 upper beads each representing a klick or 1000 meters.
9 lower beads each representing 100 meters.
Standard:
6 upper beads each representing a 1/2 mile or 880 yards
7 lower beads each representing a 1/16 mile or 110 yards

I make mine with either acrylic or pewter scull beads and they can be worn as a necklace or attached to your gear with a D-ring using the loop I have placed just above the upper knot as seen in the above photo. As for the number of paces it takes to equal 100 meters, you count every time your left foot hits the ground (every other step) and that is a "pace". The average man walks 66 paces (112 steps) in 100 meters. To give you a reference, I am 6 feet tall and I walk exactly 66 paces in 100 meters. But if you have a heavy pack and lots of gear your gait will shorten so be sure you re-measure your gait with your gear on in this case.

Tactical Series

Here are a few new shots from my tactical line up.

I work in corrections and came up with the idea to weave in a spare hand cuff key into my personal bracelet. This idea has been a popular one among my police friends as well and as far as I can tell, I am the first one to come up with the idea. It works best with the BDU button and loop or the lanyard knot and loop type closure as seen in the photos below. It is comfortable and hides very well also.

Weapons {paracord creations}

My fellow weapon enthusiasts out there should appreciate my latest creation. It is my modern take on an old law enforcement favorite in the early part of the 1900's, the Black Jack. Traditionally it was constructed of a lead weighted fore end and a wooden handle all wrapped in leather. Mine are a bit different in material but every bit as vicious. For the business end I use a steel ball bearing wrapped in the monkey fist knot. The handle is a double braid or "King Cobra" style braid with a four strand tail that can be held making the weapon more of a mace and giving it nearly a foot of reach. I make these in several sizes and weights and can of course completely customize the color options. As for the uses for these, well, use your imagination, but I can guarantee that knuckles, eyebrows and collar bones hate this item.
