Two things stood out to me when I first saw the new Kershaw Boilermaker folding knife. The modified drop point blade, the finish of the knife and how sterile it was. The first two are obvious, but you may be wondering what I mean by sterile. What I mean is the lack of markings and […]
Hunting Bonnie and Clyde: The firearms of the Highwaymen
Just wrapped up watching the new Highwaymen movie on Netflix. The movie is about the two former Texas Rangers who brought down Bonnie and Clyde. I wouldn’t necessarily call it an action movie, due to the lack of action. It’s more of a story of the hunt and how they tracked down Bonnie and Clyde, […]
Sh!t Kit field toilet kit: Don’t get caught with your pants down
When I originally saw this product I had to laugh. Out of all the products we’ve reviewed on the Loadout Room, how was I going to make this fit into our demographic? My initial gut reaction was that this was one of those gimmicky products that had no real practicality. After I had received a few […]
Nemo Cloudview Hammock: Quick Look
*Photos courtesy of Logan Winters The Cloudview Hammock is by far the best lounging hammock for your backyard or family car camping trip.

Photo of the day: Emerson Carnivore personal high-end steak knife
The Emerson Carnivore is a purpose-driven design. Its purpose is to slice your steak with ease into perfect bite-sized pieces of meat.

Ridgemont Outfitters Heritage boots: From the city to the mountains
I received my pair of Ridgemont Outfitters Heritage boots about a year ago and have put plenty of miles on them. The color scheme of the pair I got was the Oxford/Rust which gives the boot more of an old-school hiking boot look. There was a break in time with these boots; around 1 week of wearing them […]

Chums Surfshorts Wallet: The perfect front pocket wallet for an active lifestyle?
The Surfshorts Wallet by Chums is a great option if you’re looking for a minimalist wallet. For me, this wallet fits my minimalist lifestyle almost perfectly. I’ve carried larger wallets in the past, but rarely found myself using half of what was inside it, so over the past year I have tried several smaller low profile wallets in search […]
Skyroam: Global WiFi at your fingertips
The ability to have comms and navigation when traveling is critical these days. On a trip to Europe, I used my cell phone and just added on an international plan while overseas. Although that temporary data plan only cost me an additional $10 a day, I still went over my monthly data limit and got […]
A quality timepiece is much more than just a watch

If you decide to hand it down then it becomes part of your legacy. So what constitutes a quality timepiece? Let’s break down a few characteristics to look for. Weight – […]
