AresGear

This upcoming deployment is at just the worst time for AresGear. I'm starting to get orders from people who've heard about me from other people, and I have to turn away 2-3 orders a day, because I won't be able to get them all done before I deploy. I hope I can rebuild what I'm giving up when I return.

Yesterday, I made a Ranger Classic belt, three 1-point slings, and three "pigtails" (they're a connector from a 1-point sling to your weapon), and finished off a roll of coyote sling webbing. Today, my goal is to get another belt done, and maybe some green slings.

I much prefer playing around making NEW things than I do making old things; I'm always trying to find a better way to make my products, but I have to be careful not to send untested "improvements" out to customers. If it really is an improvement, that's great, but I can't know until I test it.
