Company demonstrates the process of making outdoor marketing signs with plastic corrugated and vinyl printed sheets.
You won’t believe how realistic the results are with a little patience and some basic materials.
Confused by the term kitting? With products and materials like corrugated plastic and foam the custom possibilities for manufacturing and custom kits are endless. This video demonstrates how one company built a storage case utilizing kitting concepts, corrugated plastic, and foam.
I was just reading the news and came across this doozy over on the ABCNews website: $18M Being Spent to Redesign Recovery.gov Web Site
Going through new product announcements I came across this doozy. A new Pelican Remote Lighting System for portable indoor shelter lighting for tents and other temporary shelters.
We have just posted the Pelican/STORM Case comparison chart that shows every Pelican product number and it’s comparable STORM case product number with sizes and weights.
Community member Willy Johnson posted a message to my spot directly yesterday. While all Willy’s posts tend to be a bit obscure in style, this one read like a poem! (see post to read his request!)
Well I promised him in my response that we would get some posted today and at CoTradeCo we do our best to live up to our word. Below are some of the new stainless products added today!
Shoot, I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I saw this. Apparently the girl in the video had a few too many drinks the night before and the ‘beer goggles’ had been activated. Fortunately she had a way to scare the guy off in the morning…
“One evening after dark I had to chase down a suspect who had a knife. Once I caught him and tackled him to the ground I could not find my microphone. It had fallen off my uniform and was in between me and the suspect making it impossible to radio my position.” From this incident the TMK mic keeper was born.
This new Pelican case offers the same convenience as the 1510, standard airline carry-on allowed, and now has a specially designed sleeve and lid to store your laptop safely and still leave room for what you need on a short business trip.
We are just plodding along trying to get at least a sampling of all the good stuff available online. Buck Knives is the latest brand/manufacturer to be added to the store.
The Pelican flashlight 7060 LED was engineered in conjunction with the LAPD .

The trader tends to be very private about his past. We know he worked his way up the corporate ladder in the 70’s and 80’s. Before that he was an engineering officer on a Navy ship during the Viet Nam war. Tired of working in the 8 to 5 world he headed out west where he took over the trading post.
He loves to talk and is a great story teller. If you ask him what time it is he’ll end up telling you how to make a watch. He got involved with the web back in the mid nineties and is pretty good at using it to help you find things.
Old westerns, war movies and comedy’s. We have however seen him watching what some might call "chick flicks."
Everything from Turner Classic Movies to TMZ and ESPN.
Loves anything cooked over a fire
Sort of just showed up one day and has been there ever since.
Can find anything at a cheap price.
Acts like he owns the place and seems to be at the Trading Post all the time. If you drop by he has all the time in the world for you.
