		<title>New &#8220;MOLLE light&#8221; by PentagonLight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  PentagonLight, maker of several high-end flashlights, has just come out with an right-angle LED flashlight powered by a single AA battery. It&#8217;s not a &#8220;tactical&#8221; flashlight, just a handy little light with several nice features.

It has a pocket clip, lanyard loop, and can fit inside MOLLE webbing. It also comes with a MOLLE-compatible pouch. [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Rescue Knives: new tools for saving lives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  While The Hobbit Hole has had to suspend its knife donation program, I still have been buying the &#8220;odd&#8221; knife here and there for evaluation purposes. A flood of new designs in rescue knives has just hit the market, and there are now enough interesting items to evaluate, and give away.
First, we&#8217;ll look at [...] ]]></description>

		<title>Weapons-mounted flashlights, revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  A while ago, I received an email from a Marine, saying that the SureFire Nitrolon G2 flashlight worked well when mounted on a weapon. I wished him well, pointing out the flashlight was not designed for the stress and strain of firing, but it still might work well, or maybe not. 
Flashlights specifically designed [...] ]]></description>

		<title>TOP Stryker convertible flashlight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  The latest item the Hobbit Hole is evaluating is the Stryker convertible flashlight. This is a LED flashlight with an ingenious design that lets you power it with two AA batteries, or one CR123 litium battery. Construction is machined aluminum, and the $39 price is within the price range of other metal LED flashlights.

TOP [...] ]]></description>

		<title>New Light on High-End Flashlights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  With days getting shorter, flashlights get more use, especially in a combat zone. The Hobbit Hole has given away a number of Pelican and SureFire xenon and LED lights to the troops. These are high-quality lights, but are rather basic in design. This was done to keep our costs down.
While we won&#8217;t be giving [...] ]]></description>

		<title>This Old Helmet, Episode 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Introduction
The PASGT (Personal Armor System Ground Troops) helmet (“Kevlar”) has been in the US military inventory since the early 1980s. It represents a significant improvement over the steel helmet, which had served since the early 1940s. 
The PASGT has provided significantly improved protection against fragmentation, but was not considered to provide significant ballistic protection. [...] ]]></description>

		<title>The Hobbit Hole basement, part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Even when you live in a Hobbit hole as comfy as the Baggins&#8217; hole-into-the-hill at Bag End, you still have a basement where you keep your mathoms, those items that you don&#8217;t know what to do with, but are too good to throw away. Among Hobbits, mathoms are usually saved, and given away on [...] ]]></description>

		<title>The Hobbit Hole Part II: Troop Safety and Convenience</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  While we reluctantly have to discontinue our knife program, the Hobbit Hole remains dedicated to the well-being of our troops. We will be doing this via a couple of programs.
First is &#8220;the carabiner program&#8221;. We will continue to give away the Grimloc safety carabiner to any and all troops that request them.

These are nice [...] ]]></description>

		<title>EOD Robotics grappling hook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  Here&#8217;s another one of those gadgets I just could not resist. The Hobbit Hole may never buy another one, but this item had just the right combination of neatness and possible practicality that it deserved a closer look.
This is a small, pocket-sized grappling hook, not intended as a safety device that can be used [...] ]]></description>
