Where the rubber guys hang out

One of my favorite sites of all time is Rubberzone. They have tons of original pictures, stories and videos, plus user profiles where you can meet like-minded guys. The gear is heavy-duty and intense, the excitement is real and genuine, and the site’s followers are loyal and enthusiastic. I am one of them!

Here is a screen shot of their current issue, which as you can see is jam-packed with awesome content:

Also at Rubberzone, you’ll want to check out their extensive library of back issues. You can spend days or weeks getting lost in there. It’s fucking hot if you ask me.

 

USS New Jersey brig

What kind of pervert would take a tour of a famous battleship, then head right for the BRIG? A Metalbond reader, of course. Check out the picture below and the information sent in by an anonymous reader of this blog:

Dear Metal,

The New Jersey was very cool. I took the self-guided tour, and enjoyed the berthing areas, Marines’ compartments — and the brig. There are no sinks or toilets in the brig cells, so the prisoners have to be escorted by a Marine to the head. I’m guessing they’re cuffed and/or shackled for the excursion. There are three cells right next to each other, each just barely bigger than the fold down bunk. Inmates were only served bread and water in the brig, for up to three days. If longer than three days, they were escorted by the Marines to the mess deck.

Metal would like to thank the reader for sharing this brig picture. Anyone else who has experience with a brig is invited to get in touch via email!
