Review: Helikon-Tex Urban Courier Bag M

Ausrüstung / Zubehör , Review

Introduction When I saw the first pictures of the Helikon-Tex Urban Courier Bag M I was actually quite intrigued. Reason for that was the fact it resembled basically what I would expect from a messenger bag for quite some time, and also (to a certain extent) what I have been using so far. Needless to […]

Some more articles about #enforcetac2025 have been Some more articles about #enforcetac2025 have been added to the blog. This year I am taking it slow with the posting, as every day work takes priority. 

That being said, I am happy to say that 2025 will see some cool reviews!

Enforce and IWA also brought some cool people together, as you can see in the cooperation with PenCott and Novritsch. You'll see something about that as well, this year.

If you are a patron of Pine Survey, you might have If you are a patron of Pine Survey, you might have already noticed that the review on the @anvknives A400 is online.

This collaboration with Hardtask is just as cool as the M200HT. It is also the first folding knife by ANV that excites me. The others might be excellent, but not my particular taste. The A400 however... Boy...

These are the best of 2024! This is almost the se These are the best of 2024!

This is almost the second time for camouflage making the sole topic of my 9 most relevant posts of the year. With the exemption of the NVD picture of IWA/Enforce Tac and the issue of the upcoming knife law in Austria, you guys liked my camouflage content the most. Come to think about it... the Enforce Tac post had 5/7 camouflage pics 😀

This year saw some more night vision content as well as snow camouflage on Pine Survey. Phantomleaf was on the top list of new camos and Austria's Tarnanzug Neu clothing system had another bumb in popularity. My personal highlight, even though it is not in the top 9, was the collaboration with Avustaja to dive into the topic of thermal devices and multispectral camouflage. It is crazy to think that I am looking back on 12 years of camouflage field test! That being said, the blog is not only about camo.

I don't have too much time for the blog anymore, as every day life has more and more challenges and commitments, but I will try to bring you new and exciting content in 2025!

Let me know what your favorite Pine Survey content of 2024 was!

Sandstorm is among my favorites, as it shows the beauty of the PenCott pattern itself, in combination with a smart use of colors.

Recently I ordered a nice fanny bag/dangler pouch Recently I ordered a nice fanny bag/dangler pouch from @b.u.s.h_team without knowing what to expect. The only fact that it was made of the Tarnanzug Cordura was reason enough for me.

That being said I was pleasantly surprised by its excellent level of manufacture and various features. Here are a few impressions.

After months of work and not so much work on it, A After months of work and not so much work on it, Avustaja and I can finally present you the findings of our deep dive into thermal vision and camouflage. As the topic is highly discussed at the moment, we thought we want to take a closer look at how one is really exposed to thermal vision in the field.

No surprise... there is almost no suitable solution against thermal devices unless you invest into a decent military grade product, that for obvious reasons is either too expensive for the everyday user or restricted to military and law enforcement.

That being said, let us know what you think and enjoy!

My love affair with @pencottcamo started somewhere My love affair with @pencottcamo started somewhere in 2011, with a blog post of SSD or Military Morons - honestly I can't remember.

Since then I had the chance to try out almost all of their patterns, meet Dom and Lawrence personally or see the ups and downs. I am still amazed how well the patterns hold up against newcomers and official military patterns.

When did you join the PenCott family and what is your favorite?

Greenzone, Badlands, Sandstorm, Metropolis, Wildwood? Or the more elusive ones, like Leatherneck and Devildog?
