I just had the pleasure of reviewing a Tyr Tactical PICO Assaulters Plate Carrier, which is on my list of the Top 5 Plate Carriers that I’ve worn and tried over my 14 year career as a light infantryman. The PICO is a solid plate carrier that will withstand the harsh environments and abuses that operators will […]
While we were only 2 Canadian OMLT soldiers in our combat outpost (COP), we came under fire from Taliban PKM and GP-25. The US Army Kiowas were nice enough to come in and support us – they actually changed their flightplan to come in and help us. While they went refueling at FOB Ramrod in […]
I have recently added the TacLace to my Lowa Z-8S Gtx boots and I love it! I remember in Afghanistan when I would spend some time-off wearing my flip-flops and we would get fired at in our Combat Outpost, I would immediately put my boots on so I could run and gun on the Hesco […]
Here’s another video of Instructor Zero. It is a fast shooting compilation hosted by Funker530. I had the opportunity to talk with Instructor Zero a few times and this guy is humble, honest and will not sit on his skills. As he told me: “I am an eternal learner. The day I will stop learning […]
The TYR Tacticalâ„¢ Rifle Mag Pouch – Combat Adjustable Happy Mag was designed to fit both 5.56mm and 7.62mm magazines. In the SOF communities, it often happens that operators will change their rifles depending on the types of missions they have to do. The Tyr Tactical Combat Adjustable Happy Mag pouches are ideal since they are quickly […]
When I first join the military, I did so as a reservist. I joined one of the most famous Canadian regiments – Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal. Renowned for the famous Dieppe Raid, my old regiment suffered more than 544 casualties (KIA, WIA or POW) on the pebble beach in front of Dieppe. This tragedy became one […]
I have always been fascinated with tanks. While I was in Kandahar, we had some Canadians Leopards 2Â acting as Quick Reaction Force (QRF). They would also form a perimeter around the EOD teams when we found IEDs. I decided to create the first gallery with the M1 Abrams tank because I love it. It has […]
The LOWA Z-8S GTX was one of the many pair of boots I wanted to review. Thanks to them, I was able to review them today. Before going into details I have to admit that I have a thing for LOWA. I have been using the Elite Desert for a while now and they are […]
The Mayflower Pusher Chest Rig (UW Gen VI) is one of my top choices for green ops and reconnaissance patrols. It is a very light rig, and it’s wide should straps will help you to carry heavy loads. Used with a PACA underneath, the Pusher Chest Rig can be used in almost any situation and […]
It always amazes me when I see soldiers who are not fit to fight. One of the very first things I was shown when I joined the military was how to PT myself to the ground so I could get into a great physical shape, making it easier for me to carry out my everyday […]
