Just...You and I are, once again, on the same page.<br /><br />Just added a post on this topic. It'll be very easily knocked off the rails, but we'll see if we can get a sense of where our fellow Patriots are at on the topic. It should be a jump-off point.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465944474238091234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-79348029721051420722015-03-31T21:24:42.298-07:002015-03-31T21:24:42.298-07:00The Society should seriously consider setting mini...The Society should seriously consider setting minimum standards for equipment and doing group buys in two different ranges. Using your example of the Randalls vs the cold steels, they both accomplish the same thing but people in different stages of the Patriot journey will require different levels of equipment quality/price to suit their needs yet meet that minimum standard. By being the first to clearly define and communicate these standards, the Society can set the pace that all other groups will have to keep up with.<br /><br />I have been researching how all of our trailers, containers and shelters will have to meet the standards that FORCE PROVIDER (FP) has set 20 years ago. Because they had taken the initiative to define the standards, my company has to figure out how our stuff will interface with everything else out there. So it is costing us time and resources to convert our products to these standards as opposed to looking at the standards that had already been established.<br /><br />How many of us wasted money buying that "Rambo" knife from the local convenience store just because it looked cool? It will accomplish the same tasks as the Randall but for how long? That money could have been put towards a Cold Steel or Ka-Bar. Damn, that's embarrassing admitting but it proves my point that standards are required. <br /><br />So we can set the standards now and be the one out in front or play catch up later on. Look at what Max has done. A true innovator.

We've been considering how to best leverage the Society, and we've been thinking a lot about finding standards so as many people as possible are on the same gear. Obviously, not everyone is going to like every model/spec/widget, but I'm with you that standardization is important, at least as a guideline.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465944474238091234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-42668887254769326552015-03-31T16:55:38.237-07:002015-03-31T16:55:38.237-07:00Alright I'll bite.

I am also a comm's amateur and will have to figure these out. <br /><br />The III%SFA really needs to do more group buys. Being able to hit a price point is great but the standardization of equipment is essential.ToneDeafnoreply@blogger.com
