The human body is an incredible machine, capable of both monumental feats of strength and delicate maneuvers of finesse. However, it needs fuel and regular maintenance to function at its highest capacity. A high level of physical fitness can make all the difference from outrunning an assailant, increasing clarity of mind while under duress, and […]
I’ve been asked on multiple occasions over the years what I consider the be a good measuring stick when it comes to fitness, and just about every time, I respond with the same canned answer: fitness is a personal journey, and I’m not here to tell you how to pursue it. I really do mean that, we’re all […]
When it comes to purchasing a new firearm, it pays to do your homework. You want to know that you’re getting a reliable platform, that it doesn’t have any glaring safety issues, and that you’re getting a good value for the price you’re paying. The problem is, it can be pretty tough to find that […]
I really love to stir things up in the shooting community (especially the internet portion of it) so I’m just going to say it, “.45 ACP is outdated.” That’s not to say it isn’t effective, or that it isn’t reliable; just that it’s outdated.

Knife sharpening is an essential skill that is necessary to be considered a true outdoorsman. The Work Sharp Knife and Tool Sharpener is a surprisingly user-friendly platform. Changing the guards to match the style of your blade is done by just pulling the guard off from the top of the machine, and replacing belts is […]
The D-BAG by Q -BLUE is the company’s solution to the market of discreet weapon’s cases. The case was designed via a collaboration with Blue Force Gear. The case seems to be an evolution of the now discontinued line of Blue Force Gear Dapper cases. I have owned the BFG 28″ Mk18 case for several years. […]
Although I am very biased towards the LBT 6094 as my “do everything” carrier, I realize that sometimes there is a need for a much lighter carrier. Last year I was issued a Crye Precision LV-MBAV and it fit the bill perfectly. It is an extremely lightweight carrier. This carrier was made famous by pictures […]
Carrying concealed can be impractical or uncomfortable. Perhaps you are happy with your appendix carry holster when you are standing up, however, when you have to sit for a few hours it will drive you crazy. Concealing a sidearm is not always an option; some of us have jobs that don’t allow it or perhaps […]
When it comes to choosing the stuff you keep strapped to you on a daily basis, there are a number of things you need to take into account: the environments you’re normally in, the laws in your particular state and county, weight, mobility, and perhaps most important of all – comfort. It may sound awfully soft of […]
