If you’re looking for a pair of sneakers in the Japanese Self Defense Force ‘Jeitai’ (appropriately enough, that’s the Japanese name for the JSDF) pattern, then these Nike Air Max 90 SP might very well be your only option.

Gerber gear offers a selection of knives, flashlights, belts, and other survival tools for the outdoorsman. We purchased a small variety of Gerber survival tools, and put them to the test with our own weekend warriors, our three Boy Scouts. The rules were simple. They could select any of the products that wanted but had to write about their impressions.
Each week, we’ll feature a new Gerber product review written by one of the Scouts.
The Bear Grylls compact multi-tool features ten components:
It’s lightweight and compact, perfect for fitting on a keychain or in a pocket. External components and nail nicks allow for easy access to tools.
I like the variety of tools present on this multi-tool. The nail nicks make them easier to get out. Having a lanyard ring on the tool is good because it can be kept on a keyring or secured to other gear. I also like the small size, but at the same time that makes it a bit harder to find if you misplace it.

According to Bloody Disgusting, Sam and Bruce are doing a sequel to Army of Darkness, although this stinger from the recent reboot/remake/alternate universe film confirmed as much.
During a training mission from Malmstrom AFB on Feb. 2, 1970, this F-106 entered an uncontrollable flat spin forcing the pilot, Maj. (Ret.) Gary Foust, to eject. Unpiloted, the aircraft recovered on its own and made a gentle belly landing in a field near Big Sandy, Mont.

Watch Dogs in an upcoming video game where you play a character that can manipulate a near-future Chicago by hacking the central computer system that controls almost every aspect of the city’s surveillance and public infrastructure. This video shows that the reality for Chicago is becoming quite close to the fiction of the game.

The limited edition Striker Badlands Combat Shirt was created specifically for the Special Intervention Forces of the Silent Heroes Foundation, an organization that battles illegal rhinoceros horn trade in South Africa.
It features sleeves made of 50/50 NyCo ripstop Badlands camo, which are equipped with the typical Striker pocket configuration.
The torso and arm pit area uses a new Merino/COCONA knit for quick re-drying of the torso and arm pit area, which also offers excellent wear comfort. This fiber contains active charcoal to suppress bad odor after long periods of wearing. UF PRO air/pac inserts in the shoulder area provide further comfort.
The elbow areas are designed to hold D3O Trio Mid protectors, for additional elbow protection.

The Bear Grylls Scout Essentials Kit is a polypropylene case that doubles as a water capturing device, filled with these survival essential items:
The kit also contains a Priorities of Survival Guide.
I like this kit because everything in it is useful when outdoors. The basic first aid kit would be good for treating minor injuries, and having a knife and light with you is always useful. The matches and compass would also serve well in a survival situation. I also like how the case also has use as a water catcher.

Drunk Dial Congress is a service website by Revolution Messaging that takes your phone number, which allows the service to call you and then connect you to the office of a random member of Congress, where the call is generally fielded by an unpaid, essential employee. The website also provides drink recipes and talking points to use when you call. A little outlandish, but if it gets people talking to any representatives at all, it could be a good thing.
Lancer Tactical’s MOLLE Chest Rig is constructed from 600 Denier Polyester material. It features front, back, and sides PALS webbing for the attachment of pouches and other MOLLE compatible equipment. Adjustable shoulder straps, also featuring PALS webbing, have side adjusters and quick release buckles. The Adjustable waist strap has Velcro flaps and quick release buckles. The vest comes with four integrated AR-15 magazine pouches with bungie retention straps, as well as two integrated multi-purpose pouches with bungie retention straps. A hydration compartment with Velcro panel on the flap fits up to a 2.5L bladder, and a mesh compartment interior pocket allows for additional storage. The MOLLE Chest Rig is adjustable from medium to large size.
The Lancer Tactical MOLLE Chest Rig is a customizable piece of Airsoft kit can fill a wide variety of purposes thanks to the volume of PALS webbing present on the rig. The rig is comfortable and easily adjustable, and the Velcro straps included to retain excess webbing is a nice addition. The integrated AR-15 pouches each fit one (1) STANAG model magazine with the two multi-purpose pouches good for a light, mutlitool, or, in a pinch, a pistol magazine. One feature not mentioned on the product detail is a carrying handle that is retained to the rig thanks to a strip of hook and loop; this is a nice feature that helps keep the carrying handle from getting snagged or otherwise tampered with. Overall, Lancer Tactical’s MOLLE Chest Rig is a functional rig that, thanks to is modularity, can fulfill virtually any purpose the user wants it to.
The Lancer Tactical MOLLE Chest Rig shown above is in MARPAT, although it’s also available in ACU, Black, OD Green, and Tan.

You know that new show on Fox? The one that takes place in modern times with an undead(?) Ichabod Crane going after the headless horseman that turns out to be DEATH itself? Well, one of the characters in the show was spotted wearing a Shellback Tactical Banshee PC.
