Having the right holster makes all the difference, and after trying a few, you realize there are many similarities and differences out there.  Ever since I purchased my Glock 17, my first firearm, I have experimented with countless Kydex holsters from various manufacturers.  When the opportunity came to try out another holster, this time courtesy […]

My Sinn 104 St Sa Watch: A Classic Pilot Watch

My Sinn 104 St Sa Watch: A Classic Pilot Watch

“For many men, watches seem to have a deeper meaning than just keeping time. Watches mark special occasions, they tell the world a bit about who you are, and they can, if you’re lucky, connect you to the people in your life who matter most… At the end of the day, a watch is just […]

Rocking my Merrell Moab 2 boots

The photo above is a picture of me while I was traveling around the Southwest. Among hoarding gear, my recreational hobbies include photography and hanging out in precarious places. After all, what is the point in having nice gear if you don’t ever put it to use? I prefer to hit the trails in the […]

Outdoor Edge Le Duck

Outdoor Edge Le Duck | Best knife for under $25?

The price of any gear reviewed on The Loadout Room is usually one of the final talking points, but with Outdoor Edge’s Le Duck, it’s one of the things that make this knife a great recommendation. The Le Duck is the epitome of what a good budget knife should be. Low-cost manufacturing shouldn’t equate to an inferior […]

Princeton Tec Sync headlamp revisited: Still good

One of the most popular headlamps on the market for some time has been the Princeton Tec Sync LED Headlamp.  There are plenty of sources praising the Sync’s versatility and simplicity, which also comes wearing an inexpensive price tag.  I have seen multiple people using the Sync in both field training as well as on the […]

Petzl Conga Rope | Technical rope for a hardline

Petzl’s innovation continues today as they continue to manufacture climbing gear for all kinds of adventurers. In this review, […]

Grey Ghost Gear Gypsy Bag: A grey man’s go-bag

Grey Ghost Gear manufactures tactical gear ranging from belts, bags, plate carriers, and even their own body armor. Though I’ve heard of the brand, I only recently had my first experience with them while testing out their Gypsy Bag. The design of the bag may seem a little peculiar for a tactical manufacturer, and the […]
