Peter Medvedovsky

Peter Medvedovsky served in 2nd Ranger Battalion for over 6 years, deploying numerous times to both Iraq and Afghanistan. His duties as a Ranger included light and heavy machine gunner, Team Leader and finally, Squad Leader. After the Army, Peter spent time overseas as a private security contractor. More recently, Peter is the Director of Training for a private security company, as well as a security consultant both CONUS and OCONUS. He is also a firearms and tactics instructor, and proud member of the Tactical Beard Owners Club. While not working and/or writing, he can be found meandering the high altitude wilderness of the Rockies, mumbling Jeremiah Johnson quotes to himself and wondering why he didn't bring that extra layer of snivel.

FIREClean Extreme Performance Gun Oil

Gun oil isn’t something we think too much about aside from, “ah shit, didn’t clean my stick last range day because I’m not a basic training private that has to suck the bluing off my gun to make it clean. Just slap a bunch of whatever brand I dumped in this little dropper last time […]

Warhammer: ROGUE SISU

Few things other than actually bludgeoning a dude will get the testosterone flowing like smashing something with a giant hammer to the tune of heavy metal. If you don’t listen to metal while training, you are Doing. It. Wrong. I know many of you already use sledgehammers in your workout, as this community in particular […]

Jungle Boots | Footwear of the Salty

Before the days of Salomon, Merrell, Oakley (all of which I own and love) and the endless list of boot options available to soldiers (at least in the SOF community), and the “after market” desert boots available to all, there was one venerable, unchallenged boot for the grunt. Few items conjure a nostalgia like seeing […]

London Bridge Load Out Bag

Whats a Loadout Room without a proper loadout bag? A mess. Here is a piece of gear for all your cool pieces of gear. Of course we all love our kitbags, and why shouldn’t you. The thing has yet to fail me and it’s almost a bottomless pit of kit and clothing. But taking a […]

Mayflower Low Profile Armor Carrier

At a quick glance, most plate carriers look the same. And to many, who primarily use them for range use or lighter abuse situations, you may not notice the difference between the untold number of options out there. I have run most types of carriers you can imagine overseas where your choice of product very […]
