Professional Gear Reviews
If you know anything about Hurricane, it’s that we are fans of Clint Emerson and his 100 Deadly Skills book. Clint Emerson is a retired Navy SEAL who founded the Violent Nomad concept and wrote a book detailing 100 Deadly Skills every Violent Nomad should have. One thing that’s always stuck is the interesting art Clint […]
Marines sit in the defense and decorate their new home for the next few days. The Marines had assaulted multiple objectives and consolidated to emplace a large defense involving multiple supporting agencies including artillery, close air support, and crew served weapons.

Let’s get started with a couple of combat medicine axioms that form the basis of all combat medicine dogma. Combat Medicine Axiom #1 “Sometimes, the best medicine is fire superiority.” Combat Medicine Axiom #2 “Good medicine at the wrong time is bad medicine.” Since the Loadout Room is organized around first line, second line and […]
I own guns for several reasons, hunting, sport, and defense of my family and myself. If you asked me the most important reason I own a gun I’d clearly pick self-defense. As a father and husband, it’s my job to keep my family safe. I own a gun, I train with it, and I store […]

Whether it’s for a field op or camping, a daily use pocket knife or a defensive weapon, a multi-purpose survival knife or a fancy decorative piece. I’ve probably got a knife or two that’ll fit […]
Experience and failures have made me always keep my bag close by. When getting into a taxi or Uber I always have my backpack with me, between my legs. Usually, I tie one of the drawstrings from my Pocket Candy La Manga-Tenegui’ to the bag and the other end to my belt as an added […]
