Garand Thumb

Garand Thumb Active duty in the military. He spends his time parachuting from anything that flies. On his off time he shoots and spends time with his family.

Cannae Legion Elite Day Pack

Cannae Legion Elite Day Pack

The market is saturated with day packs. With so many to choose from it can at times be difficult for a company to stand out with a product. Cannae comes to the scene with the Legion Elite Day Pack which stands out in several unique ways that I found particularly useful. Even though this pack has some very specific […]

Basics of individual First Aid Kits and boo-boo kits

Basics of individual First Aid Kits and boo-boo kits

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve worked in the medical field. Putting together a good trauma kit is in my opinion best left to those medics still scrubbing blood from their cuticles. Blue Force Gear tapped some great talent in choosing precisely the equipment needed to stabilize a variety of battlefield injuries until bigger and better […]

Streamlight ProTac light: Alternative to Surefire?

Streamlight ProTac light: Alternative to Surefire?

Like most gear enthusiasts I have a problem not putting the “best” gear on my rifle. What is the best? Gear that is used and vetted by only the most accomplished/published gunfighters in the business.  For the longest time, I’ve only trusted Surefire lights on my weapons. They’ve never failed me at home or abroad […]

Red dot sights on pistols: Some pros and cons

Red dot sights on pistols: Some pros and cons

In the following video, I take some time to flesh out some of the major pros and cons of mounting a red dot to a pistol. Mounting red dots on pistols is nothing new, however, in the last 10 or so years, they have begun to find themselves on duty guns. As this trend increases it’s important […]

Toor Knives Raider: Designed to be the perfect belt utility blade

Toor Knives Raider: Designed to be the perfect belt utility blade

I love thick knives. They survive the rigors of the field better than the thinner blades I’ve seen in many “survival” and “utility” knives. I use my knives quite a bit. At a minimum, they are doing 1-2 weeks in the field per month building fires and gutting animals. I’ve seen many knives break in my […]

The venerable ACOG has been given a breath of new life with the ACSS reticle from Primary Arms, which allows this optics to expand its capabilities.

Winter Survival: Surviving a plunge through the ice

Winter Survival: Surviving a plunge through the ice

The crash through the ice was surprising. The chest constricting cold hit you immediately as the water flowed over your Gore-Tex soaking your insulating layers. With extreme perseverance and strength, you manage to pull yourself onto the bank of the stream, you lay on the bank for a moment as the water begins to freeze […]

Procuring water in a cold environment: Tips from a Military Survival Instructor

Procuring water in a cold environment: Tips from a Military Survival Instructor

People worry about dying of dehydration in the desert and rarely think about dying of thirst when surrounded by frozen water. However getting water efficiently is paramount in an arctic/winter setting. As you dehydrate in the cold your blood becomes thicker and the circulation rate slows leaving you incredibly vulnerable to cold injuries such as […]

Winter Clothing & Footwear Recommendations from a Military Survival Instructor

Winter Clothing & Footwear Recommendations from a Military Survival Instructor

Not wearing proper clothing or layering correctly while traveling in a snow-laden environment could lead to cold injuries and death. As a survival instructor for the military, I find myself in these environments often and teach others how to effectively travel in them. In the lists below I will note the things that I typically […]

RSDL: Wipes for Neutralizing Chemical Warfare Agents

RSDL: Wipes for Neutralizing Chemical Warfare Agents

In an increasingly asymmetric battlefield where the fight is often brought close to home, or deep inside “green zones” one should be prepared. Chemical warfare agents have been used as recently as in the Syrian Civil war. The terrible thing that many people don’t realize about chemical warfare agents is that depending on the agent, they don’t […]
