Ran into an interesting piece of gear this weekend. Somebody took the idea of the ol’ Trapper Keeper, dropped it in a vat of multicam, rolled it around in some molle, and added a lot of velcro to get these.
The one I got to examine was this model. I rather like the idea of having a separate system of keeping reference material at hand while writing. Could be maps, could be checklists, could be dryads, other code sheets, etc.
The one I examined appeared well-made and wuite well thought out. There’s a certain modularity to these things allowing all sortsa useful accessories to be added on.
For the longest time I’ve been using one of the Write-In-The-Rain systems and while they work well, they are expensive and lack many of the features I saw on the TNC units.
I’m ordering up a couple of these for myself and will have more detail on them when they arrive. School starts next week and I’m looking forward to using this tactical Trapper Keeper at my classes.

I officially have no clue how old you are.
Im not sure that’s terribly important to anything that goes on here. If it gives you a sense of closure, just assume I’m within a couple years, either direction, of your own age…that’ll make me easier to relate to. 🙂
Commander, I’m with you. Myself, I went back to grad school at age 50. At that, I was the third oldest chucklehead in my class!
I’m back in school now at 51, but doing it all online. Love not having to go into a classroom full of 20 somethings!!!!
But will it stop a bullet? Where do the Kevlar inserts go? 😉
At 53,I was the oldest in my radiological technologist class. I was pleased to find absorbing my maximum daily rad dose would have me hit my maximum lifetime dose at the exact time I wanted to retire. We don’t need no stinkin’ dosimeter!
There are similar items marketed towards the military designed to fit the ambiguous ‘green books’ we can order through supply or buy for a nominal price. I think they are considerably cheaper but confess to not know.
If you want I can check on specifics.
The TNC cover CZ was referring to is sized to hold a Green Monster .
