The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
*Photos courtesy of Logan Winters When it comes to men’s clothing, I prefer an athletic fit, as it looks more refined and just feels more comfortable to me. I cannot stand to wear regular fit or ‘baggy’ clothing. Finding truly athletic fitting clothing was a challenging road, but I have settled on a select few brands. […]
Growing up, my Dad and I watched MacGyver every week to see what new things he would do with his Swiss Army Knife to get out of a bind. I also remember my Dad always having a Swiss Army Knife in his pocket regardless of what he was doing. My Dad preferred the Executive style of knife […]
Although this bag is not necessarily part of my ’emergency’ kit for roadside emergencies, it does stay in my vehicle next to the roadside assistance gear. Some may want to categorize this as a go-bag, which I guess it could fill that role. Part of my preparedness mindset is being ready to assist others when […]
I served in the Marine Corps back in the 1990s and was issued this exact gear for all training deployments and field exercises. We used the 782 gear loadout for desert warfare, jungle warfare and mountain warfare. We didn’t have different loadouts for different environments like they do now. We used the same gear and […]
The Muul RuckBucket is truly one of the more unique and versatile packs I’ve ever owned. It is a combination of a backpack and cooler, but with a core feature that sets it apart from similar products — a 5-gallon bucket inside. This provides added durability and protection for the contents of the pack. Contents are crushproof, […]
The Loadout Room is looking to increase its pool of gear reviewers. To start, this is a pro-bono position where you will do video reviews covering firearms and gear that you currently own, documenting what you like or dislike about it, and why. This can be done via iPhone/smartphone or higher end cameras. For examples, check out our […]
We’ve all seen the Taran Tactical shooting videos with Keanu Reeves training for the John Wick movies which is bad-ass. I’m not usually one to watch videos on competition shooting since that is not my thing, but I have to say the following video held my attention the entire time. Here, Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan takes the time […]
I have a lot of bags, probably more than most people. Most of it is due to my job, but some have also been personal purchases. I’ve tested many bags over the years and have my favorites. One thing I have come to accept is that there is no one bag for everything, but I’ve […]
During my enlistment in the Marine Corps, I had the opportunity to use a lot of different gear. Towards the end of my enlistment, my unit was attached to the 24th MEU(SOC) to perform recovery of downed aircraft personnel. In layman terms, if one of our pilots went down behind enemy lines, we got the call to […]
I recently finished reading The Terminal List and was extremely impressed with not only the storyline, but the list of weapons and gear used by the character, James Reece. As I was reading through the book, I was taking note of the guns and gear used. Most of it was stuff I’ve either personally used or […]
