Since my early days in the military, I have worn silkies (also known as Ranger panties) as underwear on a daily basis because of what they offer and prevent. They prevent chafing and they are supportive without being restrictive. There was never another pair of underwear that did that without some level of discomfort due […]
A power bank to charge your electronics is a great thing to have. But what if you have kept it in your backpack long enough without remembering to charge it that the battery charge has degraded?

After countless questions from hopeful individuals that are in a pre-recruit training phase regarding to how they can prepare for entry into the Recon and Raider communities, Nick and Josh decided […]
Zero Tolerance’s new 0609 folding knife can trace its origins to the original Factory Custom 0606CF, although this new release offers a smaller and more concealable profile. Designed by RJ and Matt Martin, this knife is a stunner – both visually and functionally. It doesn’t offer any otherworldly steel or materials mined from Mars – […]
Since 1975, Petzl — the company — has been building products stemming from generations of family exploration and mountaineering experience. While they have developed many product categories such as climbing harnesses, helmets, packs, and countless other devices and accessories — to me they are most known for their affordable and impeccable headlamps. The Petzl TIKKA […]
