The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
As a student reporting to and going through BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL), your heart pounds with excitement at the idea of having the opportunity to be one member of a small and tight-knit family that has an even tighter bond than that of your family blood. The mind races and adrenaline pumps, wondering what sort […]
A lot of people say that there is no such thing as “the best knife”. Well, I disagree. Everybody has their own opinion on what they think is the best blade. Now let’s talk about folding blades (the choices are endless). During my time in the military, I was lucky enough to try many different […]
It’s a sunny 75-degrees at our training facility. I can hear the sound of the breaking waves in the background, clearly reminding me of the punishment and further initiation into the brotherhood that we can expect to welcome with open arms and big smile on our faces as the instructors assist Mother Nature and King […]
People have asked me from time to time, what type of pocket knife I prefer to carry. That is a loaded question, because I don’t think that there is “one” knife that I would choose as the only one. If you have the option of carrying more than one knife for whatever you are doing, […]
Getting around a college campus in the most efficient and comfortable way is definitely important to many people. Some students can leave most of their books in their car or a centralized locker and just go back and forth to switch out classroom materials before their next class.  Others have to drive or take public transportation to school. Where they […]
Ok folks, so I know there a lot of people who believe LEO’s (Law Enforcement Officer’s) are too quick to draw their handgun to incapacitate or kill and uncooperative or unruly individual. I am not saying that every shooting scenario or incident that plays out in the United States, ending up with a person shot […]
I have spent many hours cleaning, taking apart and replacing parts on M4 and AR15 rifles and if there is one thing I can say is “I would love to have a single tool that could take care of all aspects of maintaining said weapon platforms. When I first received the Gerber Short Stack AR […]
Editors note: The handle scales of the ZT0909 are manufactured from G-10, not carbon fiber as stated in the review. Zero Tolerance also recommends that the only way you open the knife is via the flipper. Never attempt to “flick” the knife open which may cause injury to yourself or someone else. The ZT-0909 folding […]
I received the SUMA Elite Kit (aka SUMA Pro) Large several months ago from Precision Rifle Supply. I finally had a chance to put most of the kit through its paces on a camping trip to Lake Pemaquid campground in Maine. My daughters helped me build a fishing rod, which I took a picture of (or so I […]
Normally I would go into lengthy detail about an item that I would talk about in the Loadout Room. The Gatorz sunglasses with polarized lens are probably the best sunglasses that I have owned in my 47 years in existence. During my 14 years as a Navy SEAL, I really only wore Oakley sunglasses, but […]
