Camoplast has taken all of their experience building track systems for atvs and other applications and applied it to the heavier UTV. The new Camoplast Tatou UTV 4S provides side-by-sides with the ability to go where and when wheeled vehicles simply cannot.

Offering superior performance in soft, deep snow with the convenience of year-round  use, the Tatou UTV 4S features internal drive tracks that minimize power loss to maximize performance in any operating conditions. Each Tatou UTV 4S track system is individually geared for the application, allowing converted side-by-sides to match or exceed wheeled hauling capability.

With a 116.7-inch by 13.5-inch footprint, the rear track on the Tatou UTV 4S is the largest in the industry and provides the best floatation in deep snow, wet mud, sand, and other difficult environments. Aggressive track lugs provide outstanding traction while noclip track engineering and puncture-proof internal tires improve ride quality.

Open frame design on the Tatou UTV 4S system allows easy evacuation of snow, mud, sand, and vegetation. The all-steel track frames pivot in tandem for better ride quality, and the system is now available in a new charcoal gray color that will compliment any contemporary UTV.

Unless you’re some kind of Bear Grylls style survival weirdo, you’ll know how difficult it can be getting a decent hot meal when you’re enjoying the great outdoors. Besides, who can be bothered with all that twig rubbing malarkey? Not us because we’ve discovered HotCans.

Despite sounding like a chain of dodgy lap dancing clubs, these amazing 400g tins of yumminess contain delicious ready meals that heat up, as if by magic, when you crack ‘em open. No hob, campfire or washing up liquid required.

Simply remove the rubber cap, pierce the holes with the included key, open the insulated can and gawp in ravenous anticipation as a totally safe exothermic reaction heats up your highly scoffable meal in about 12 minutes. We’ve heard of convenience food but this is ridiculous. Mmm…piping hot sausage and beans!

Of course this whole exercise would be completely pointless if the grub was gopping, but HotCan recipes are really rather delish. We’re not talking haute cuisine but they’re certainly up there with your better quality ready meals. What’s more HotCans are suitably calorific and nutritionally balanced, so as well as satisfying all you outdoorsy types, they put sandwiches, Pot Doodahs and rival so-called fast food to shame. Pizza Yuck and Unlucky Fried Deadthing? No thanks.

Portable Microwave

Now you can bring all the luxuries of home (except for the kitchen sink) with you on the trail!

The only one of its kind, this portable microwave oven allows you to bring the convenience and power of dielectric heating wherever you go.The microwave plugs into a wall outlet, a car or boat’s DC outlet, or connects to a car battery (jumper cables provided), allowing you to make popcorn or reheat food at campsites, tailgate parties, or during boating excursions. About the size of a toolbox, the microwave weighs only 16 lbs. and has an integrated handle for ease of portability. It produces up to 660 watts of power–as much as some kitchen microwaves–allowing you to cook a slice of pizza in two minutes or popcorn in six minutes.

I can almost smell the Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sandwhich!

Special Foces Kawasaki Teryx

From the looks of it, the Special Forces are going to be doing a lot more tea baggin’!

Kawasaki Teryx™ Recreation Utility Vehicle Selected In SOCOM Tactical Vehicle Competition

More Than 1,600 Teryx RUVs Included in $28.3 Million Order

The United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) has been searching for a tough, agile, tactical vehicle. From run of the mill utility vehicles all the way up to mega-dollar custom fabricated equipment, there was no shortage of contenders for the job. Following extensive research and numerous evaluation sessions, they decided to go with Kawasaki’s 2009 Teryx™ Recreation Utility Vehicle (RUV).
Following extensive research and numerous evaluation sessions, SOCOM decided to go with Kawasaki’s Teryx™ Recreation Utility VehicleAfter providing units to the military in June of 2008, Shannon Tracy, owner of UV Country Kawasaki a Veteran woman owned small business located in Houston, Tex., immediately recognized the Teryx’s excellent chance of winning any military competition where toughness, light weight, speed and agility were a factor.
In January, she replied to a new SOCOM bid request, with a proposal for UV Country to provide a large quantity of Kawasaki Teryx RUVs over a multi-year period.
Tracy’s efforts paid off, quite handsomely. After the final round of evaluations, SOCOM chose the 2009 Kawasaki Teryx 750 FI 4×4 RUV, awarding the contract, worth up to $28,390,453 to UV Country. UV Country is now scheduled to deliver up to 1,625 units on a five year indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract.
“We’ve fulfilled several smaller GSA and Texas state contracts in the past, but this new Special Forces project is our largest contract by far.” says Tracy. “It provides a great boost to our business, lends extra credibility to the Teryx and assists all Kawasaki dealers by capitalizing on its outstanding performance. If it’s good enough for the SOCOM environment, then it must be capable of handling whatever American hunters and outdoor enthusiasts can throw at it. This is a real win-win situation for everyone,” concluded Tracy.
Powered by a fuel-injected 750cc V-twin engine, Kawasaki’s popular Teryx 750 FI 4×4 RUV offers side-by-side seating for two adults, a roll over protective structure (ROPS), front discs and a special sealed rear brake, four wheel independent suspension, a tilting cargo bed with 500 pounds of carrying capacity and the ability to tow up to 1,300 pounds.
