Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer

Jens "Rex Nanorum" Hammer is an Alaskan Expatriate living in Oregon with his wife and kids. Growing up on commercial fishing vessels, he found his next adventure with the 2nd Bn, 75th Ranger Regt. After 5 tours to Afghanistan and Iraq, he roamed about the west coast becoming a commercial diver, rated helicopter pilot instructor (CFII) and personal trainer before becoming a staff writer with Loadoutroom.com

Kershaw Concierge

Kershaw Concierge | A discreet edge

Oregon-based knife manufacturer Kershaw has a very diverse collection of pocket knives, but as of late, one unifying feature has pervaded many of their offerings: discretion in design.  The Kershaw Concierge is a perfect example of that ennobling virtue, perhaps the common thread is a broad company shift, or possibly it is the earmark trait […]

Ranger Proof Rifle | Enhanced ELC Range Testing

Ranger Proof Rifle | Enhanced ELC Range Testing

Recently, I received a call from Graham Baates of GBGuns.org and YouTube fame (or infamy). He is also a contributor within the Hurricane Group Inc. family of websites, of which Loadout Room is a part.  GB had received a rifle from Ranger Proof Arms, the Enhanced ELC (Entry Level Carbine) and thought it fitting that a Ranger should take part in the testing of something termed […]

Pace Yourself | An excellent CCW shooting drill

Pace Yourself | An excellent CCW shooting drill

Those who carry a gun on a regular basis seem almost universally aware of the weight that responsibility holds.  Rarely have I seen someone dedicate themselves to carrying a concealed weapon who didn’t also take the time to read up on their state’s laws regarding CCW and spend time training from a concealed starting point. […]

Stealth Operator

Grey Ghost Gear Stealth operator pack | Low profile excellence

Grey Ghost Gear (GGG) of Idaho has been quietly producing some of the slickest gear available.  Having recently taken a look at their range bag, I’ve seen the quality of their craftsmanship firsthand.  Naturally, I had high expectations heading in the review of their Stealth Operator pack. Designed as a “low visibility recce pack that can be used […]

80% lower

Watch | Milling an AR lower with 80% Arms jigs

In the sister article to this one, I showed a video of Defense Distributed’s Ghost Gunner CNC mill that details finishing an 80% AR lower receiver.  As a counterpoint to the automated version, I’d like to show finishing off an 80% receiver using jigs from 80% Arms. While a DIY approach to completing the machine […]

An Army Rangers Go-Bag: Get home safe, no matter the circumstance

An Army Rangers Go-Bag: Get home safe, no matter the circumstance

Given the numerous natural disasters and large-scale riots protests across the country, it’s as good a time as any to cover (or discover) what considerations should go into building a “Go-Bag”. First, let’s differentiate between a Go-Bag and a Bug-Out-Bag (B.O.B).  A Go-Bag is synonymous with a Get-Home-Bag.  This is a small to medium pack containing just […]

Ghost Gunner

Watch | Ghost Gunner home CNC machine

While end mill technology (and it’s computer-controlled variant) has been around for nearly 250 years, Defense Distributed‘s Ghost Gunner has made waves in the last few years.  The titular self-contained CNC mill was at the heart of a legal battle between Defense Distributed and the State Department, with the government eventually settling.  A few anti-gun politicians […]

Precious Metals and The "End of The World"

Self Reliance & Preparedness | Precious Metals and The “End of The World”

Having an interest in history, I’ve been doing a good bit of reading on financial systems dating back to the Old Testament times (7th century BC) as well as more modern societies prior to fiat currencies (fiats are currencies declared by a Government to be valued at a certain amount but are not backed by […]

Geiselle SSP

Geissele Single Stage Precision | Breaking the glass rod

In the never-ending pursuit of a more accurate firearm, many enthusiasts spend a great deal of time, effort and money looking to upgrade the status quo.  While a better barrel, clearer optic or different ammo are commonly shopped improvements, few parts have as much of an instant impact as a better trigger.  Such an example may […]

Survivor Filter

Survivor Filter | Keeping your water clean and tasteful

Aside from protecting your fleshy meat-sack of a body from blistering heat or freezing cold, the most important survival consideration is the old standby: water.  Long thought of as one of the easiest elements to find, it is actually one of the toughest to find safely when in an emergent situation.  Few things will hamper your […]
