In May of this year, a friend of DIY Tactical (and one of our forum moderators) Eric Graves, created a new industry blog, Soldier Systems.

Soldier Systems is an outstanding resource for those wanting to follow what is going on in the gear industry. Eric is a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to soldiers equipment and the industry. Unique to most gear related blogs and websites his knowledge is based on actual field experience, he has been there and done that, so you can certainly trust his point of view.

One of the remarkable aspects of Soldier Systems is the amount of insider information. You will often see articles there before you see it anywhere else. Be sure to stop by and check it out. There are typically several new articles daily and certainly worth adding to your RSS feeds.

Along with home brewed content, Soldier Systems accepts articles from guest writers as well. Contact information can be found on the site.

Eric, also wrote the intro to the book Battle Rattle: The Stuff a Soldier Carries
