LYNXGEAR - online store of military and outdoor gear

General information

The creation of this website is based on both rational and emotional, and personal considerations. Originally the idea for this project came after I concluded that the Internet environment has no high-quality website in Latvian, which would be integrating and presenting information on military equipment, although it is used by big amount of people - both soldiers and civilians who are engaged in military simulations hobbies or commonplace hobbies like fishing and hunting. True enough - in the Latvian Internet environment everyone can find several stores of military, hunting and fishing equipment and accessories, but their visitors, including me, mostly struck against the store's 'poor' approach to characterization of equipment. It has reduced me to conclude that the website, which would gather general information about military equipment, as well as detailed descriptions of equipment available in Latvia and anywhere else worldwide, can gain responsiveness.

The idea for the Internet project stemmed from a personal desire to share the knowledge accumulated over the years about military equipment. Since 2002 on addition to civilian life and work, I am actively involved in Latvian National Guard, and currently perform militia duties in one of the National Guard's infantry battalions. While serving in National Guard, I faced with popular issue - the poor supply of personal equipment. I will leave a discussion of these problems for site's discussion forum, but its solution in my case was that I made a decision to explore options of purchasing personal equipment myself. For all these years in the National Guard I have passed through my hands a lot of equipment. I've purchased it, tested, used, but when I saw something better, I switched to new equipment, selling the old one. In this way, I have accumulated sufficient experience to orient in the tons of information on equipment, so I am able to recognize good quality equipment from the worse equipment.
