If you\u2019re a recreational shooter, you compete, or you\u2019re issued a blaster for work, chances are you\u2019ve heard of Trijicon\u2019s Miniature Rifle Optic, their bestselling red dot sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year at SHOT Show, the company debuted an MRO on steroids<\/a> \u2014 the MRO HD. Re-engineered and revamped, the MRO HD turns it up to 11 with an optic that offers shooters a 2.0 MOA center dot encompassed by a 68 MOA segmented circle reticle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trijicon boasts a \u201ctruly ambidextrous reticle\u201d on this optic, as well as a brightness control that allows the user to switch between a full reticle or a simple center dot, based on their preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MRO HD is set to sell for $919.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret that we\u2019re a fan of Combat Flip Flops. Not only are their products incredibly badass and highly inspired, it\u2019s also hard not to love a company that pledges to support a day of school for Afghan girls with each purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For that special someone who also happens to be a beach bum or a hardcore aloha-type, check out CFF\u2019s Floperator Coyote<\/a>. Designed to be rugged and damage resistant, these flip flops aren\u2019t just going to last you a while, they\u2019re also going to make you look pretty moto with the option to customize their look using moral patches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can pick up a pair on CFF\u2019s website<\/a> for $39.99. Just don\u2019t take these things into *actual* combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When shopping at Combat Flip Flops. Use coupon code MILITARYTIMES during checkout.<\/a>\n\"\"\n\n\n\n

Being able to recline and take some of the weight off your feet after a long day is one of the most underrated and unappreciated bonuses in life, especially if you\u2019re on the trails or parenting it up at a soccer game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEMO Equipment knows this just as well as we do, and that\u2019s why they\u2019ve rolled out their Stargaze Camp Chair<\/a>, currently retailing for $149 with free shipping on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camp chair is a more budget-friendly modification of the company\u2019s Stargaze Recliner, though with the ability to gently swing like a rocking chair. NEMO boasts that this chair can go virtually anywhere unimpeded, working easily on most surfaces including unimproved terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re always hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing articles on Gear Scout to navigating traffic, 3-gun competitions, and all-day hikes can get incredibly tiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also know we\u2019re not the only ones out there craving a snack while reading this. That\u2019s where Good-to-Go steps up to<\/a> the plate with a number of meal options that are easily prepared, highly nutritious, and in sizable servings that will fix any hunger craving in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a wide menu available, Good-to-Go\u2019s products are especially geared towards outdoorsy people who find themselves on the go, be it hitting the trails, conquering a mountain, or just enjoying a relaxed camping trip with loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegan, low-sodium, and gluten-free options are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know the value of a good pen \u2014 especially one that can write anywhere, regardless of the elements and conditions outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who need to keep a writing implement on them at all times, be it to take notes, jot down a hot rhyme or poem, or fill out forms on the go, Gerber offers its Impromptu Tactical Pen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring a Cerakoted machined steel body (you read that right), the ITP is easily one of the most badass pens on the market today, capable of writing in driving rains and also equipped with a glass breaker to help escape rougher situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerber offers the ITP on their site for $73 \u2014 a lofty price for a pen, but then again, this is no ordinary pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
