TACTICAL DRINKWARE
Welcome to
550 P.E.D.
Tactical Drinkware
Founded when the first shot in war was fired, in times long since passed. 'Trench Art', was handmade by front line troops during a lull in battle or those convalescing from their wounds.
Handcrafted by those on duty, from battleground artifacts, spent ammunition and commonly found items, so began the era of self-expression throughout times of war & conflict.
Through ancient times, then onto modern warfare, soldiers later began using 'para-cord' as a favored medium to fashion such items.
In this spirit, as a veteran (and family owned business), we now carry on the tradition, by providing high quality, handmade tactical drinkware products, for the discerning drinker.
