The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
I was packing to leave for a trip to work. I went through my usual checklist – Helmet, Night Vision, Gerber Multi-tool (I wrote a review on that as well, you can see that here), clothing, Gore-tex, MultiCam this – MultiCam that, boots, plate carrier, etc. Long story short, I thought I had everything. I throw my stuff […]
Usually, there are a few items that are part of my EDC and my operational loadout. For instance, my Sig Sauer P320 in .45 and most recently the 5.11 Rapid L1 have made their way into my EDC and my operational loadout. I like to use the K.I.S.S. system with gear because if you don’t […]
I have a pouch for everything and anything including a pouch for 2 cans of dip. Pouches are pouches, right? Well yes and no. I like things to be easy – the less moving parts the better. The First Spear MultiMag Rapid-Adjust™ Pocket makes life easier and reduces hassle by incorporating a revolutionary design featuring the […]
Sharp things are fun. Let’s face it, nothing is more badass than taking a sexy knife or tomahawk into a gunfight, even though that’s rule number one. I’ll be honest with you, Helle knives are now my favorite. I have tried to dull this thing out with continuous use and I just can’t get that […]
In the past, battles were started with a “bang” and by “bang” I mean cannons, muskets, rifles, etc. As battle and war evolves we have learned to work under the stars and live under the darkness. What’s the point of working under the darkness if you can’t be quiet? Be as quick and as quiet […]
Photo of the Day – Scanning the woods of an undisclosed location in Virginia while in the middle of pre-deployment workups. Everybody says EOTech is far superior to any optic out there. “Operators use EOTech so it must be the best” and so on and so forth. The fact of the matter is, EOTech isn’t […]
Pictured above: Waiting for a workup to deployment exercise at an undisclosed location in Virginia. I’ve been told I work a “cool guy” job – it’s tactical, its fast paced, I’m always traveling (sorry to my editor Scott Witner for never getting articles in on time), but most importantly I get to live what seems […]
Two RHIBS running and gunning and conducting training in a formation on a calm and warm day 2 miles off the east coast. Nothing like a selfie to show how tactical you can be! This picture was taken right before the RHIB behind me made its approach to “tighten up” the formation. Doing this at […]
Having S&S Precision located right down the road in Virginia Beach, it makes connecting with them even easier. They presented me and some of the guys I work with, with their warm weather maritime assault gloves to test and evaluate. I’ve kind of been on this new kick lately of having the boys I work […]
When talking optics, Vortex has always been hands down my favorite. The quality, the craftsmanship, the price point and lastly the customer service is hands down the best in the market. When you buy your first Vortex optic you immediately feel like family from the jump and that’s the best feeling in the world. When […]
