Hands down the best BDU pants you can buy!

propper bdu pants
I cannot go without my pair of Propper BDU pants! Of course, it's a given that these BDU pants are used by the military, but I find that when I'm outdoors hunting, you cannot beat the durability and strength of these pants.

Even though Propper BDUs are sewn to military specification MIL-T-44047E, you can still use them for every day adventures.
These pants feature six pockets, four of which with button flaps. Both seat and knee are double-reinforced and this trouser also has felled inseam, outseam and seat seam.
Other features include fused pocket flaps, a four-button fly, adjustable waist tabs with 4 bar tacks and drain holes in the Bellows pockets. The nylon drawstring leg closures are fused knottted and tacked.
My brother-in-law got a pair of these after I raved about them and he uses them every time he's out fishing and camping. And my cousin is in law enforcement and loves them just to hang around in!

The perfect 5.11 tactical shirt for my fishing trip!

Ideal for both on and off-duty wear, the innovative 5.11 Tactical Shirts are the only tactical shirts in the world with 5.11’s exceptional fit, patented hidden document pockets and unmatched heat management system.


Functionality:
The 511 Tactical Shirts have hidden button-down collar stays and a handsome, functional design offering a professional appearance that is also appropriate for casual environments. With versatility like this, you can swiftly transition between work, play and travel without changing clothes.


Storage:
Stash airline tickets, maps, your cell phone or a small backup in 511’s patented hidden document pockets located on the front chest of the 5.11 Tactical Shirts. Discreetly designed with a Velcroâ closure and one-handed access, the strong, roomy pockets work in tandem with 5.11’s Undergear Holster Shirts. Overlaying the hidden document pockets are large, pleated patch pockets finished with Velcro. The left pocket incorporates a dual pass-through slot for pens, chem-lights and tire gauges. Two narrow pen pockets are placed on the left sleeve, for six pockets in all.


Durability:
Made of tough, 5.4-oz. cotton canvas, the 511 Tactical Shirt lets you work, play and travel in comfort and style. Triple needle construction, 26 bartacks in high-stress areas and reinforced anti-crack, anti-chip melamine buttons result in an amazingly hard-wearing shirt.


Hardware:
In addition to its breathable fabrics and strategic construction, the 511 Tactical Shirts employ a 5.11’s unique heat management system. A large cape-back with a tacked center point covers moisture-wicking Drilexâ material to efficiently vent and evaporate moisture around the clock. Stitched eyelets at each gusseted underarm further dispel heat and moisture to keep you cool.


Fit:
There’s a high-performance 511 Tactical Shirt for every mission and activity. With two easy-care fabrics and several colors from which to choose, you can wear the shirt that best fits your daily plans and climate. Both short and long sleeved versions are available.

I have a collection of Streamlight Flashlights

streamlight banner
Add ImageRead this info on Streamlight flashlights. I think I have almost one of every streamlight flash light product. It is very interesting information on streamlight and their flashlights...they definitely stand behind their products!
Streamlight flashlight is a “hands-on” company. By doing so, we understand what our customers need because we’re out there doing what they do, using the same lighting tools in the same ways. We go through firefighter's training. We take courses in low-light shooting. We’re hunters, outdoorsmen, fisherman and sports enthusiasts. Brad Penney, our president, takes his Streamlight flashlight on his many hunting trips. Our sales director for the hunting and fishing markets is an avid hunter. Many of our law enforcement sales managers are gun collectors, hunters and competitive shooters. We believe it’s our hands-on, real-world experience that leads to new ideas and innovations that set Streamlight apart.
Who knows what we’ll come up with next?
We Listen. We Learn. We Get It.
We make it a point to get out in the field and talk to our customers. We hold focus groups to hear what they like about our products; but we’re more interested in what they don’t like, what needs to be improved, and what lighting problems have yet to be solved. Customer feedback helps us continually improve existing products and create new and better ones. Since the most extreme hazardous conditions are often in dark places, Streamlight created a complete line of safety-rated lights. For the industrial market, we’ve developed lighting tools that are safe to use even around explosive gases and in other potentially explosive atmospheres.
Auto technicians can now easily see into the smallest, darkest engine crevices, thanks to the Streamlight Stylus Reach, a powerful, lightweight penlight with a flexible cable. Our green LED clip-on penlights and headlamps are keeping outdoor enthusiasts safer, with an LED light so strong, it’s visible from over a mile away.
We Didn’t Invent Customer Service; We Just Perfected It.
Our success is directly related to our ability to satisfy customers. So we take customer service very seriously. Our inside sales department includes specialists in each of the markets we serve. They go through extensive training on all our products, even working on the assembly line and in the repair shop. They know Streamlight products inside/out. They understand the challenges you face and they know how to help you find the best lights and get the most from your purchases. We’ll work with you and do whatever it takes to help you.
We Support Our Products With A “No Excuses” Warranty.
Streamlight makes tough, durable, long-lasting lights. And we support them with an equally strong warranty. If something goes wrong, we don’t make excuses – we make good. Streamlight warrants its products to be free of defects for a lifetime of use. We will repair, replace or refund the purchase price, at our option, of any Streamlight product that does not work or that you manage to break for as long as you own it. Of course, this limited lifetime warranty excludes abuse, batteries, bulbs and chargers. Rechargeable batteries and chargers have a 1-year warranty.
In the unlikely event that you have a problem with a Streamlight product, go to www.streamlight.com for the location of an authorized Streamlight repair center near you.

Anything TACTICAL? Want TACTICAL? The places to go and the things to buy!

I love anything tactical. And when I want to spend money, I usually go to one of three places to buy the tactical products I want.
http://www.lapolicegear.com/
http://www.workbootsusa.com/index.html
http://www.tacticalpantsusa.com/

If you want tactical pants, tactical shirts, tactical gear then check out these three websites.

But hold on a second! What if you are not in law enforcement, or in the military or in the security business? Well, think again. If you enjoy hunting (we love you Bambi), hiking, camping, fishing or the outdoors, then you will find boots, bags, equipment and gear at these stores for everything you could possibly think of. Even sports, like paintball or scuba diving, you will always need gear and you will always need bags to carry your equipment. Tactical socks...whoever thought of those? Tactical or not, it's nice to put on a good, thick pair of socks that keep your feet warm in the toughest of conditions. Tactical flashlights like the top name brand Surefire. You have to watch videos on how these flashlights are made. They will blow your mind. Tactical watches - all waterproof, scratchproof, stress proof and hazard proof. I mean, what will they think of next?

So basically, in a nutshell, if you need anything for everything, and everything for hardly nothing, these stores are the place to shop. Their prices are unbeatable and they have some great free items and give-aways. Happy Tactical Shopping!

5.11 Tactical Pants with the patented tactical strap and slash pocket design were originally developed for rock climbing. “5.11” is a rock climbing difficulty level as listed in the Yosemite Decimal System. With skill levels ranging from 5.0 (easy) to 5.10 (difficult), 5.11 is even more grueling. 5.11 is officially defined as, “After thorough inspection, you conclude this move is obviously impossible; however, occasionally someone actually accomplishes it.”
