exists to make thoughtful Goods for the curious crowd here that you can rely on you getting out and exploring the world is not something you need to learn it's something you were born for you introducing the jack designed from the ground up to be the most versatile survival and bushcraft tool on the market the jack performs all the tasks required of a bushcraft knife like cutting chopping and batani what makes the jack different is the front cutting edge and mounting holes the mounting hole allows you to attach a makeshift handle with paracord to utilize the front cutting edge of the knife this allows you to chop with more force for less effort the jack was thoughtfully designed made from durable and rust resistant 440c stainless steel the handle and all mounting holes have radiused edges this ensures your hands in lashing court are not abraded during use the handle has slots to wrap cord in any fashion you police and also has a dimple for use with a bow drill the large coil is close to the cutting edge making fine cuts easy the top of the blade has a 90-degree edge perfect for use with a fire steel or scraping the sheath is made from lightweight durable and weatherproof Kydex plastic the jack is designed to go hand-in-hand with its quick detach saw the saw can hold up to four 12-inch universal saw blades which are lightweight and readily available it also allows you to carry different blades for different cutting tasks the handle is made of 6061 aluminum and all hardware is made from stainless steel to use the saw detach it from the jack sheath and use the saw adapter to attach the saw blade to the handle the sought-after also works with the knife mount the jack to a handle and attach a saw blade to make a more efficient saw by allowing you to use the strength of both arms adding handle makes the task faster and easier the saw with adapter retention cord and one 12-inch pruning blade weighs seven ounces it will be available by itself or with the Jack the Jack with a sheath weighs one pound one ounce or one pound 8 ounces including a saw for one and a half pounds you can carry a knife chisel hatchet machete handsaw and pole saw the jacks lightweight and versatility make it perfect for camping hiking hunting and bushcraft hello I'm John Middendorf and I'm the designer inventor of the new d4 portaledge I started designing portal edges in 1986 after incident on the South face of Half Dome the early portal edges of the day were not engineered for severe conditions during a wild storm the frames of our portal edges collapsed by the weight of the rain and snow and ice and the fabric shredded in the severe winds we were lucky to live thanks to a daring helicopter rescue after that I moved to Arizona to warmer climates and started designing the a5 portal edge the a5 portal edge was the first truly storm proof Portland in the world over a period 10 years I made a series of designs and innovated virtually every feature you see on portal edges today such as the block corners shark fin dividers bed tensioners and single seam fly these eighty-five innovations enabled climbers to push new standards on the remote big walls in the world as for the first time portal edges were strong light pack small and most importantly were completely storm proof for some of the most severe weather on earth I personally tested each iteration of the a5 portal edge and in 1992 climbed the great triangle tower in Pakistan over 18 day period sleeping into portaledge each night on the world's biggest big wall after that other climbers followed suit in the 90s or golden age of remote big walls with hundreds of previously on climb walls being climbed for the first time thanks to 85 big black technology around 1999 I moved on to other pursuits but never lost my interest in folding systems and designs pretty much every portal as you see today is based on the a5 design for the past 25 years nothing much has changed until now last year during the family camping trip to wrap leaves a climber came up and asked me why doesn't anyone make the full-size storm-proof portaledge that's both light and strong like a 5 used to make and the concept for d4 was born for the past six months I've been busy developing and designing a new hanging Ledge system from the ground up using the latest computer tools to reengineer the frame I've also been tinkering in my shop with a variety of ideas and I'm now ready to unveil the d4 portaledge which is sure to become the new paradigm and portal edge design it has four major innovations which you can read more about here I feel happy to be able to contribute to climbers again my design philosophy is that innovation precedes jumps and human standards and I hope my new lightweight and compact portaledge will once again help climbers achieve their dreams and extend the boundaries of human endeavor and the big wall mountains of the world by the Oden Mark 3 belt it's a new belt we're offering today here to just go over a few points of the belt and talk about what it's good for and what all you can do with it one of the big points I like to take away before we even get into this belt is the price point the price point at this belt is right at $100 after we go through this and you see what you get for a hundred bucks I think you're all gonna be impressed and really happy with the overall quality in this belt some features just right off the bat there's Mali all the way around each one of these Mali buckles here these Mali sections has a tensile strength of 250 pounds as tested by my buddy here in a previous video also on the back we have velcro so you can run your distinguishing patches anything else that you'd want follow it all the way back around you'll see the same Cobra buckle like we offer in all of our belts strong and sturdy not much we can really say about that another takeaway point of the outer portion of the belt here is one it has the adjuster is actually located on the inside of the belt so you don't have to worry about tucking away all the extra on the outside of the belt getting caught on something and rip away everything works you can tighten it up just the way you want on the inside of the boat and attach it good to go so that covers about the outer part of the belt the inner part of the inner part of the belt lightweight moisture absorbing moisture wicking fabric I'm sorry everything you need it for an inner belt and of course it holds the outer belt which is his most important part some other key features about the belt on the outer portion you see we got Melva mil velcro ran all the way around not like some other belts you see where it's ran three-quarter length or even half length or sections this thing I'll hold secure the inner belt all the way around belt and use as you can see on the belt he's got our pistol pouches our sandwich pistol pouches with the updated polymer inserts as well as the same thing on the rifle mag pouch we have here and here you can see the Raptor tackle the tactical dump pouch you see it folds away nice and small secure to the belt and pull top pouch everything you want good to go continue around you can see the velcro system being employed here on the back and then over here nice and sturdy everything attached in his you can see this isn't actually ran through the backside of the belt this is just held onto the molle of the belt super secure and everything you need again nice and stiff good belt you can see not too much flex just what you want as far as inner and outer about combo and as you see right comes right off super secure good to go to introduce the new troika outdoors hammock our patented pitting design bring simplicity and elegance together creating a new
