// THE NEW TACTICAL UNIFORM FOR A POST-ABUNDANCE WORLD

What would the rangers of a post-abundance world look like if solar flares made forests the most valuable resource on earth?

These pants were adapted from my Thermoregulation Backcountry Pants project with fabrics specific to the Tactical Park Ranger project. The image above is a render done in CLO 3D based on patterns completed in Rhino. The physical pants are expected to be completed soon.

Background Story

“The largest solar flare in the last 500 years may have shredded Earth’s ozone layer to a greater extent than human-made chemicals have in recent decades...”
- Kelly Young, Solar ‘superflare’ shredded Earth’s ozone

In the future, an onslaught of solar flares have depleted the ozone. Poor crop yields and inconsistent connectivity have left the world in disarray. The preservation of the largest surviving forests is now essential for the resortation of the ozone layer, and any hope of life before. In these desperate times Tactical Park Rangers must be enlisted to not just preserve, but protect these forests from increasingly desperate survivors.

Front, Left, Back, Right - Full assembly of shacket + tactical toga + energy machete + full gear

The Tactical Park Ranger shacket features dual two-way venting and storage zippers that give access to hidden internal pockets. Additional external storage includes a vented Velcro pocket, an accessory chest pouch, and a sunglass or pen holder. Nametape, TPR themed Pine Tree side venting, and dual sided vent ruffles on the arms complete the shacket. There is also a deployable ninja mask for sun projection and stealth.

In this photo the shacket contains all props used, the boonie cap, binoculars, knife, gloves, glasses, self-stowed mask, and even a flashlight! Items are stored in hidden pockets accessed by the main zips for electromagnetic, environmental, and visual protection with the exception of the small chest pouches and velcro mesh pouch. The velcro pouch allows for easier access to items as well as ventilation to dry them. This is great for binoculars that are not affected by radiation and are waterproofed, but need to be kept handy and able to dry out.
