MDS Episode #0138 | Ryan Bertrand - MDS Acquires Longtucky Supply

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Caylen Wojcik sits down with Ryan Bertrand—founder of Longtucky Supply and seasoned product developer with a background spanning product design, precision rifle competition, and backcountry hunting. They trace Ryan's path from identifying real pain points on the range and in the field to building a binocular pouch and fanny pack from a kitchen-counter paper prototype, growing a small brand inside a tight-knit precision rifle community, and learning hard lessons in inventory management, social media, and small business along the way.Caylen and Ryan dig into the crossover between military sniper kit and backcountry hunting gear, the philosophy that good gear should enhance your ability to do the job—not dictate it—and the importance of listening to what people complain about to identify the problems worth solving. Then, the cat's out of the bag: Modern Day Sniper is acquiring Longtucky Supply, integrating its designs into future MDS gear projects built for competitors, hunters, and warfighters alike—with a vinyl harness, fanny pack, and split-front chest harness just the beginning of what's coming. Longtucky customers can expect to hear from the MDS team soon.Modern Day Sniper ⚡ Website: https://www.moderndaysniper.com/ ⚡ Training & Events (Register Here): https://www.moderndaysniper.com/events ⚡ Modern Day Rifleman (Online Training): https://www.moderndayrifleman.com/spaces/16202640/pageFollow Us ⚡ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moderndaysniper/ ⚡ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MODERNDAYSNIPER ⚡ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moderndaysniper ⚡ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-day-sniper
