Any Dog People?

Hey guys, I am spending my new years with James Yeager, but as soon as I get back, its time for Beachin Tactical to hit it hard, and one way that I plan on doing that is by releasing a new product... actually two.

Dog collars and leashes.

After walking into PetSmart and seeing that Chinese made collars sell for 15-30 bucks, and leashes for the same, I realized that I could use my same Milspec webbing and metal components, as well as H&K rifle clips, to make some bad mama jamma simple collars and leashes for about the same price.

 

Only catch is right now I only have 1" wide webbing, I will have to sell a LOT of dog stuff to invest in anything narrower. So they look best on dogs 35lbs and up due to their width.

 

This is the same Milspec webbing that I have for my slings, so it is mildew and rot resistant, and is rated for over 1k lbs of handing weight strength. And of course I can do these collars and lanyards in any color that I have in webbing.

I wont be doing paracord, or at least I don't plan to, because I want to keep the prices competitive, and as soon as I am strapping something into a jig and weaving, it gets expensive...

 

So what do you guys think? Anybody interested in camo accessories for their buddies? I will be doing a special run here at a discount like usual to help me order some more components that I will need, and also to hook you guys up.

Haha I am pretty excited. I think that it will be much easier for people to spend $30 on an ultra beefy, American made, Milspec collar, than 75 on a rifle sling. Idk why, personally, but that is the way that it is.

I have dabbled in this for the last year, and I think that I finally came up with a price bracket and simple design that will make it possible

Dog guy here.  Think fatter, not thinner.  Sparrowhund's old collar was less than an inch.  The new one is about 1 5/8".  Much more comfy for her.

And harnesses.  Dogs love feeling useful.  Especially if they are carrying their own water/snacks/food.

Not sure if you just want webbing ideas but dog boots are seriously lacking a quality, long lasting product.

Idk if I could make dog boots...

Thicker would be cool, but the cost of replacing all the webbing colors that I have with different widths would be about a grand, so I will need to really sell a lot of dog accessories before I get to different widths.

A harness would be cool, but it would likely be expensive, and Idk if I can hit a premium dog market.

 I use Harnesses for walking my Dogs , Collars just don't work too well , too easy to slip out or choke them. Harnesses are a little more complicated to make , but you shouldn't have a problem making them & 1" straps are fine for collars or Harnesses .

We always use a harness for our dog large dog or small dog any time they are on a leash. Chihuahuas have really weak throats and necks.

Those are a nice couple of dogs.

Dude... I am going to email them and see what they could do about wholesale... it will be HARD to market a sling with that and make money... but I want it
