Putting things into perspective
I’m not one for sending out profound messages, but I wanted to pass along some info.
A good buddy of mine I’ve known since high school is facing the fight of his life. He served FIVE tours as a Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan and came home to find out that he was suffering from ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease - a progressive, usually fatal, neurodegenerative disease.
It is difficult to put into words how great of a guy Beau is, but I will tell you he has served as a huge inspiration to me over the years. Always seeming to be the underdog, Beau never let anyone or anything stop him from doing what he believed in. He didn’t listen when folks told him he was too slow or small to play college football (sound familiar?), or when they said he’d never last through Ranger School.
Check out his story, and try to remember him when we let seemingly insignificant things get us down.

Eagle Drag Bag
The Eagle Drag Bag is yet another product that has amazed me with it's quality. Eagle really knows how to put Cordura together into a functional AND good looking piece of gear.
There are two external pockets which are large, covering over three quarters of the length of the bag. There are also numerous attachment points on the front of the case for cam or for strapping on extra pockets. Two strong seatbelt-type material handles are excellent for portage, and very comfortable on the hands.
Both of the external pockets have two compression straps inside, which can be used to store items seperate from you rifle and scope. They both have zip closures, and are as weather-proof as Cordura can be. however, there is no padding from outside impact, so bear that in mind when deciding what to carry in there. The rear pocket also has a angled zip to access another storage area in its lid, which could easily be filled with a sheet of foam for padding.
The nose of the drag-bag is covered by a hood, that serves to keep out any debris that would otherwise be continually forced into the zip and nose section, which would rapidly cause wear and tear. Dragging hooks, there are two of them, are made from heavy duty seatbelt-type material. Very strong, yet soft to the touch.
On the inside, there is heaps of padding and space for rifles with large optics fitted and a pocket that runs the full length of the bag is designed to take a solid cleaning rod. Two compression straps hold the rifle firmly in place. The zip also has an external cover, which has plenty of press studs to keep the weather out.
A thick weather-guard runs the whole length of the zip, and a pouch with three press-studs will take two full factory boxes of .308 ammunition.
The back of the bag is heavily reinforced with strips running along the area where the bag will drag on the ground. This area also houses the back-pack setup, which stows away when not in use. This has been really well thought out, and even has a Velcro access point to assist with tucking it all in neatly. You can also reverse the strap setup, so you can carry the bag as a back-pack, muzzle up or muzzle down.
My Remington 700 Tactical with 20" barrel is fairly short (40" overall length), but you can see form this pic that there is plenty of room for longer barrels, and although I don't have my scope fitted in this pic, you can also see the room available for optics. Plenty!
Overall, this a great piece of gear, and I am very happy with my purchase.
My Eagle Drag Bag was purchased from Warrior Gear, and delivered to Australia in five days. Great customer service.

Hardigg Storm Case
I recently purchased two of the iM3200 (one black and one OD), and as soon as I opened the packages I was impressed.These cases are extremely well made and the design has no fault that I have yet discovered.
The case body is extremely durable. I am 87kg and I can stand on the centre of the lid of the empty case without concern for damaging it. It barely even flexes under my weight. 
The hinges are very strong and the iM3200 has four of them, being made from a thick metal rod that slides into the mouldings of the case itself. The rods are approximately 8mm thick.
The foam inserts (four of them) are firm but easily cut to suit your individual equipment application. There is an egg-shell foam lid-liner, two 45mm thick panels, and one thin panel (10mm) that lines the bottom. 100% custom-design it, just as YOU like it!
The six latches are strong, yet easy to open, with the press-to-release button on each one. There is one latch at each end, and four on the front. They have never opened accidentally, and I have never skinned a knuckle on them. Great design!
The carry-handles are soft-coated, yet still tough, allowing for better grip than plastic. There are two handles, with one allowing for normal carriage, the other on the end of the case for use when wheeling the case on it built-in wheels. 
The wheels themselves are very tough and silent running. Both handles fold and 'Click' in to the body of the case, so as to be out of the way when not in use.
I have found that the iM3200 is perfect in size for my 20” Barrelled Rem700 Tactical, which is 40” overall. This leaves me a full 2” of padding at each end. Any longer barrel and you will need to consider the iM3300. 
There is room in the case for areas to be cut out for; rifle and scope, bolt (removed from action) bipod (removed from stock), rolled-up sling, full-length cleaning rod, and I still have room to spare with generous areas between items.I highly recommend Storm cases to anyone that wishes to properly protect their equipment and I will certainly be buying more Storm cases as the need arises.
My Storm cases were purchased from Warrior Gear.

Maxpedition Vulture II Review
The first of many product reviews for Warrior Gear is Maxpedition's Vulture II backpack. I spent three days traversing the Las Vegas Convention Center for the 2008 SHOT Show, and honestly never felt like I had less than 25 pounds of pamphlets, giveaways, and other worthless info packed into every pocket. While this review is not hard-core or extreme in any sense, it does offer a decent representation of what many of us "weekend warriors" may use the bag for.
Observations:
The pack is built like a tank. The straps, seams and YKK #10 zippers are over engineered in some respects, and that's not a bad thing. The material had a very "stiff" feel to it, and will no doubt break-in and be much softer to the touch. The pack has PALS webbing for molle (MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) attachment points on the back, sides, bottom and shoulder straps. One other neat feature is the "hidden" zippered pocket that serves as a 100 oz hydration pocket or concealed weapon compartment.
The backpack has a concealable padded waist strap that would definitely come in handy for hiking in a more demanding environment than the Las Vegas Convention Center. Maxpedition also included an organization system in the rear pocket for keys and other personal belongings that came in handy over the course of the weekend.
The shoulder straps were some of the most comfortable that I've ever used. After miles of walking, I never once had to readjust the straps due to them biting into my shoulders or neck -- ergonomically speaking, you'd be hard pressed to find another sytem thats more comfortable.
The only minor gripe I had about the pack is that its ruggedness makes it difficult to access the pockets quickly or easily. The Y-shaped retention strap that helps to maintain the shape and integrity of the bag gets in the way of every accessible pocket. If you need to access the main compartment on the move, you'd better have a place to set the bag in order to undo all of the clips and Y-Straps.
The Specs:
20.5"(H) x 16"(W) x 7.5"(D) Main Compartment
15.5"(H) x 12"(W) x 2.75"(D) Front Pouch
15.5"(H) x 12"(W) Slip Pocket
Capacity: 2810 cu. in. / 46 liters
Hydration: Up to 100+ oz Bladder
Support: 1in Sternum Strap, 2in Integrated Belt
Optional accessories: Hook & Loop Modular Accessories and Grimloc Carabiner
Color Options: Black / Green / Khaki
Closing thoughts:
After carrying the bag all over Las Vegas, I am extremely impressed with the quality and comfort of the Vulture II Backpack from Maxpedition. I highly recommend the bag to anyone looking for a great 3-Day Pack.
