Custom Gear Report

So it’s been a while since you’ve seen any new content, for that we apologize. But this is not without reason.

The big news is we have a new member to the CGR family, my wife gave birth to our son last week. So the week before and week after were hectic. The good news is that everyone is doing well.

Since my wife helps me out with the business I am now short handed while she recovers and gets into a routine with the baby. In the meantime I am on my own and trying to catch up.

However just prior to this I was able to shoot a couple videos. One is the Update Video posted below and there will be two follow on gear reviews already filmed that I still need to edit and a couple other planned in the near future.

Part of the reason for this update is to announce that we are now going to be using YouTube as well as viddler to serve the video content. You will be able to access our channel here: http://www.youtube.com/CustomGearReport Be sure to subscribe if you are a YouTube junkie like me.

Of course we will be adding easy to recognize badges to the site soon among other new features so keep an eye out for that.

We are also working with a new camera and new editing software so please be patient while we figure that out.

The Custom Gear Report has has a bit of a tune-up. Although you probably haven’t noticed much on the outside, we’ve been doing a hell of a lot of work on the inside. Including a major upgrade to the core and various features of the site. We’ve also added some new functionality to help us with upcoming giveaway contests.

We also have a bunch of content coming down the pipe:

• 762 ChiCom chest Rig Review
• Exotac Review
• Antother 215 Gear review
• Our Take on a proper personal First Aid kit
• Yet another EDC series
• A few other ideas in the works

Finally we haven’t quite advertised this yet but we are looking for guest authors. Not only for the Field Hacks topic but any topic related to the blog. If your interested shoot us a message.

So don’t fret there’s lots going on with CGR.

In order to continually improve the content of the site we are looking for some feedback. What do you like about CGR and what can we work on.

Also what do you want to see, is there something we’re missing?

Leave a comment, and let us know.

Ok these came in last week so some of you have already gotten you hands on them. But as we discussed here and here we have our first of several morale patch designs in the shop. Quality is excellent and they come with a pre-sewn hook backing so it is ready to stick wherever you want it.

What we need now are pics of it on your gear. When you get a chance snap a photo for us and send it on in.

On the T-shirt front we are pleased with the response so far in the DIY Tactical/CGR Zazzle Store we set up. We have several Skull and Needles Shirt designs up also have a mouse pad and coffee mug up there too.

We want to introduce the first in a new series of shirts we’re working on. As a proponent of being prepared for the coming Zombie Apocalypse we are proud to announce Zombie Response Team gear.

The first Zombie Response Team shirt has is inspired by a line from a recently popular movie. Back of the shirt has a nice graphic and the phrase “You got a purty mouth” a nice way to show a little love right before you bash the suckers head in.

Front of the shirt has a logo we’ve come up with to represent the organization. Is containst the biohazard symbol on top of which is a face wearing a helmet and pro-mask, around this is a triangle made from three of the most often used Zombie eradication tools, a shotgun, a machete and the always popular baseball bat. This bat has been modified with some nails to give it a little extra pop. Finnaly the initials ZRT which of course is self explanatory.

Anyway, leave a comment, let us know what you think if you pick up any shirts or gear please send us some pics of it in action.
