Arktis – Anniversary 42 Pattern Chest Rig Back in the late 80s I acquired a 42 Pattern Chest rig from Arktis. As it was in DPM I didn’t wear it once I left Germany but it solidified by love for chest rigs under certain conditions.

They’ve added a Velcro loop panel on the admin flap to attach the included 40th Anniversary patch. The only other…

Full disclosure — this is a love letter to my truck. It has been a constant, reliable friend for many, many overland adventures. Clocking in at over 115K miles, my Ram truck is still going strong. My truck has brought me paddling, skiing, fishing, backpacking, camping, climbing, and to countless post-hike vittles. Most importantly, the Ram 1500 in my driveway is my hunting buddy.

When choosing protection, riders usually face a tough compromise.
