SHOT Show: Tenzing Bag Packs It In
Having the right bag for all your outdoor needs is a tall order, but the Tenzing TZ 2220 is up to the challenge. The bag is just four pounds, yet offers storage capacity of more than 2,200 cubic inches.
It features 1111 total compartments and six specialized zip pockets, along with a side pack that is H2O compatible (2-liter) with a hydration port, while two compression straps on the lower part enable additional attachments of more gear. The TZ 2220 also features advanced strength panels reinforced with Dyneema to ensure an incredibly light yet rip/ puncture resistant. Time to pack it in!

SHOT Show: Shields Up
Last week CES, this week SHOT Show and impressively LOKSAK is at both. We were introduced to them a year ago when we first saw their innovative plastic bags that are made to protect a wallet, mobile phone or other small item from the elements. The bags are a little more durable than your off-the-shelf sandwich bags, and fit nicely in a pocket for cycling, running or skiing.
So what’s new? Try the SHIELDSAK on for size, a flexible bag that is made of R.F. shield fabric that will protect devices from electronic signals. This isn’t so much meant for blocking a phone from getting tracked – for that you could turn it off. But if you’re worried about the data chips in your passport or credit card from being scanned this will ensure the shields are up and the scanning can’t get through. This works with any RFID type of chips, so if you’re worried about what might be scanned or tracked, this will ensure it is protected.
SHOT Show: Zombie Kit
While the notion of a zombie apocalypse is likely (and hopefully) just a thing for movies and TVs, the popularity of it clearly is having an impact in the real world. At this week’s SHOT Show in Las Vegas Otis Technology, is introducing the Zombie Gun Cleaning System, which is designed to clean all 5.56MM rifles, 9MM and 45 caliber pistols, and 12 gauge shotguns.
There isn’t anything here that will actually stop the walking dead – for that a good firearm will of course do, at least if movies and TV are to be believed. But the kit does pack everything you’d need to keep your firearms ready just in case you do need to take on a zombie.
It includes 8-inch and 30-inch Memory Flex Cables for effective and correct Breech-to-Muzzle cleaning, four (4) bronze bore brushes, a rubberized patch saver for a 360° cleaning of shotgun barrels, and specialized precision tools for a complete breakdown and fine cleaning of all critical and hard to reach areas of your firearm.
For those looking for some zombie style the kit also offers a green bore reflector/flag safety, D.O.A./85 Solvent, and a limited edition Zombie labeled soft case. If the dead should walk, be ready!
