Team UK
Due to the sensitive nature of the regiment they support, the UK based nonprofit selected by the Edgar Brothers and Reptilia has requested anonymity. Incorporated in 2014, this registered charity focuses its efforts on supporting active duty members, retired veterans, and the family members of an elite British special forces unit. Their services include, but are not limited to, educational scholarships, assistance transitioning into civilian life, aid and advice to those who have been injured, wounded, or disabled, and emotional support to dependents.

Eric Burt
Eric Burt
Eric Burt, the President, and Founder of Reptilia, started the company in 2017 with the goal to create product solutions for user groups in harm’s way. An objective which he had been pursuing for over a decade while working for other companies in the industry. In 2017 he decided he wanted to forge his own path and not be an “employee” any longer.
Eric was born and raised in Southwest Colorado, enjoying the outdoors and spending time in the mountains, namely mountain biking, rock climbing, camping, and downhill skiing. His segue into the firearms industry started after leaving Mountain Smith (outdoor gear manufacturer) in Golden, CO to join Magpul in Boulder, CO in early 2007 as a contract product designer. He worked his way up the chain and leaving as the Director of Product Development in late 2010. He then joined Advanced Armament Corp. in Lawrenceville, GA where he was heavily involved in the 300 AAC BLACKOUT development program and LVAW (“Honey Badger”) program among many others. From there he joined Crye Precision in Brooklyn, NY to take on the development of a unique breaching shotgun system as well as continue his soft and hard-goods design roots.
Throughout all this Eric has kept a strong conviction and passion for supporting those who fight for our freedom. Among many fund-raising efforts and events, he was involved in a 12-year calendar campaign called “Hotshots” aimed at raising funds and awareness for veterans and charities supporting wounded veterans. He hopes his involvement in TF Expedition will continue that mission.
