FATTY ADMIN Pouch

Details

Category: Prototypes

Created: Monday, 13 October 2008 02:05

Made this guy with the concept of having an admin pouch that can actually fit something. When less filled the pouch can be as slim as most other admin pouches, however has the capability to expand out and hold approx 6 flashlight/multitool sized items comfortably. The quick ID flap also sets this pouch apart from most. Spaces include the ID pannel area, .5" depth frontal pocket, velcro sealed slim middle pocket for your important goods, and 1.5" depth main back pocket.

MSM Loop Panel

I created these due to noticing more and more gear incorporating loop velcro areas for modular attachments, but then there are slim pickings of actual attachments on the market.

HELMETCAM KIT POUCH

Details

Category: Prototypes

Created: Sunday, 12 October 2008 02:05

I started off with dumping my helmet cam recording goods in a GP pouch, but even with extra foam, things were still a bit shifty so I made this up. I'd rather have the camcorder upright, but have to do it sideways as shown to deal with the lame AV plug. Top layer is for the camcorder and even has an elastic holder. The mass of wires is a mess, but not sure what else I can do short of cutting the actual wires.

MSM Patch Panel

Category: Prototypes

Created: Sunday, 12 October 2008 02:05

Had a request to make a simple patch panel and added a zipper pocket to stash alternate patches or other slim items. Approx 6" x 4". Will see if I can make a bulk batch if there is demand.

Combat DSLR Camera Pouch

Details

Category: Prototypes

Created: Wednesday, 27 August 2008 02:05

Took forever to get around to this, but finally got a chance to make a rough prototype. Concept on this one was to have a pouch that can hold a DSLR camera and be able to go from secure to in hand as quick as possible. It ended up being pretty honkn' big, but was the size needed to cover the camera and have the 45 degree extraction. The inside is Tricot foam so I can make velcro dividers and holders commonly seen in camera bags.

Monkey High Ride Modular Dropleg

Details

Category: Prototypes

Created: Tuesday, 26 August 2008 02:05

Due to being <monkey> Sized (5'4" 125lbs) Most drop legs were not made with me in mind and have long connection straps. This causes the drop leg to ride low and hit my kneepads and generally be lower than I'd like. Some other dropleg designs addressed this by adding webbing on the back of the drop leg to mount it to one's belt. Sure this works at getting a high ride, but then you have to bend the whole dropleg just to move your leg.

This is pretty basic, but wanted to show something I was up to. I hunted down the Army Issue cold weather / watch cap and modified it to be a solid patch platform. These are quality comfortable caps that are 100% synthetic, microfleece, no-pill POLARTEC 100.

Military Greens Reference Sheet

Details

Category: Info

Created: Sunday, 08 July 2007 01:30

1-27-2007: Added Military Green color comparison sheet. There are some semi new greens out there so I thought I'd make a sheet displaying all the major military greens.The most known and common is OD standing for Olive Drab. This is a fairly brown / saturated green. The Airforce went with what they call Sage Green which is a much more grey green. Sometimes things are labeled OD, however really are Camo Green which is a more blue-ish green as seen in Woodland Camo. One of the more modern colors which is popular yet has no widespread military use, is Ranger Green. This green is a more brown and desaturated OD. Paraclete calls their green Smoke Green, but generally looks very close to Ranger Green. Adding to the pile, Emdom uses Sewer Green which is a midpoint between OD and Ranger Green. I added in a UCP / Foliage Green sample for your reference. As you can see...it is a lot more grey than anything else.

Alternate Safariland 6004 Strap

Details

Category: Prototypes

Created: Sunday, 18 March 2007 02:05

Nothing fancy here, just thought I'd show it. I got a 6004 recently and didn't like the hassle of the default belt strap. Although pretty secure, it takes a while to fasten and unfasten which is even harder while on your body. Based on other belt connections I've seen work, I came up with what you see here. Made of 2 layers of 17337 webbing and velcro. Used the soldering iron to stab in some holes for the screws and sewed some boxes around them for good measure.

EMDOM ADMIN Pouch Remix

Details

Category: Prototypes

Created: Sunday, 02 July 2006 02:05

Whipped this one up for an AFSF friend. Basically a copy of Emdom's admin pouch, but added a flap opening rather than open top velcro seal. Flap is slightly shifted to allow a pen to go in as shown. Other changes include no elastic on the sides of the main pouch and lengthening the phone/multitool pouch flap to allow better fit for flashlights.
