Professional Gear Reviews
If you’ve been in Law Enforcement or the Military there’s a good chance you’ve likely tried out more than one Tactical boot. Maybe you found that you didn’t know your true boot size or perhaps the boots fell apart after a short amount of use. In any case it’s good to garner more information on boots. […]
The lever action rifle is a part of America. It helped tame the west and was a brilliant design in its own right when it was first produced. I personally was taught to shoot on a Marlin golden Mountie in .22 LR as a child. There are several manufacturers in the USA who produce a […]
Within the Military and Law Enforcement world there are three kinds of people. There are those who have no choice in eye wear, those who wear Oakley sunglasses and those who wear Gatorz sunglasses. I’ve previously done an initial impressions review on the Gatorz Magnums. It’s no secret among my friends that I look stupid while […]
Having a simple pack outfitted for bad situations is a good idea. For simple day packs you don’t want an overly large pack, however, you do not want a pack so small that it precludes you from carrying the items necessary to your survival. In my time in the military, I’ve used a lot of different pack […]
‘A sharp knife is a safe knife‘ is a common saying among survival instructors.  And for good reason, a dull knife can make cutting more difficult which can cause the knife to do erratic things as you put pressure on the blade.

There are so many AR-15 magazine pouches out there. Which works best? It’s going to be dependent on the situation. In the following video we take some time to discuss why one pouch or another might be best for your situation.
I’m fond of the SOCP Dagger. It’s light, sturdy, and it has a great sheath. It falls into the category of an effective combat dagger. Although one problem with the SOCP dagger is that in many States in the US it is classified as a dagger and you are unable to carry it (depending upon […]
I’m not a fan of having equipment on my belt line. It impedes movement, gets in the way during awkward shooting positions or when getting into observation spots. As a SERE instructor for the military I have quite a bit of minimal gear that I need to carry in order to fulfill my job effectively. […]
It’s seldom that we get a view into the high tempo world of Special Operations units. Much is said about the gear used and worn by these units. What makes insight into the gear used so interesting is that to some extent or another it has to last and make the cut. And while there are other […]
