An almost-perfect backpack often would be perfect with an additional small pouch for storage and organization. A cavernous main pouch in a pack is great – if you actually need it. When you don’t but instead want compartmentalized storage for smaller items, a water-repellent organization pouch from Magpul is a great option. The Magpul DAKA […]
A quality watch has many characteristics that make it unique. With the U-2/51-JET, Bremonthasdone something particularly unique in my eyes by seamlessly melding several styles into one timepiece. The Bremont U-2/51-JET is a pilot watch that can trace its lineage to the original U-2 model that was developed for the 9th Reconnaissance Wing (USAF) and tested at altitudes up to 100,000 feet and […]
Often, small everyday items can be overlooked as part of a daily carry loadout. While the company may be more familiar to our readers for their fire-starting tools, EXOTAC’s FREEKey Slim System offers a simple but vastly improved key ring system when compared to traditional key rings.

Gerber has taken a refreshing marketing approach with their Spine fixed blade knife. They are not telling us it is the best quality knife on the market, or even the best-priced.

Readers of this site who happen to also be fans of the Kel-Tec Sub 2000 may remember a recent article I wrote on the top upgrades available for your Sub 2000. That article focused on upgrading parts that I felt made the gun safer and more reliable – almost out of necessity to fix certain […]
In my quest to carry as much useful survival equipment as possible on my body at any given time, the Survival Belt 2.0 is an invaluable piece of gear. It not only offers the convenience of saving space in my pocket and makes sure I don’t leave an item behind, but it also offers comfort […]
A quality pair of boots can make a massive difference in comfort and performance in the field or for everyday wear. In the military, I owned many pairs of high-end combat boots for different environments that are still serviceable to this day, but as a civilian, I prefer boots that are non-tactical looking to keep […]
I am a big fan of the gun belts that Kore Essentials produces, and when I noticed that my traditional old leather wallet was falling apart I decided to look into Kore’s Slim Wallet and Carbon Fiber Money Clip. It had the minimalist design that I was looking for, and with the removable carbon fiber money clip, it is like having two wallets in […]
Everyone loves a good multi-tool and Gerber is one of the most well-known and respected companies producing them.
