Clint ‘Lint’ Bunting is taking ultralight backpacking to the next level. I’ve always been one myself to minimize what I carry on my back in order to maximize the experience.

I’ve tried most of the more elaborate table top sharpening systems, but always find myself going back to a good ole simple sharpening stone. For a while I have been using the credit card sharpening stone by Dia-Sharp. I’ve owned the Lansky Sharpening puck for a while too, but I rarely took it out of […]

Aaron tells us. “The Cutjack series is built to last, but not […]

They are still killing it with the tried and true original LifeStraw which we have showcased on the Loadout Room as well as a few of their other products. LifeStraw Go Water Bottle LifeStraw […]
We started our day off today with a meeting at the Black Diamond booth. First off I want to say it was great meeting our rep in person and putting a face to all the emails. We have showcased several Black Diamond products in the past for a good reason….their products excel at their intended […]
We here at the Loadout Room have reviewed the minimalist NeoMag spare magazine pocket carry system more than once. I also had the pleasure to interview the owner a while back to find out more about the business and the product he produces. Needless to say we use and recommend this product to anyone who […]
As part of our Outdoor Retailer experience this year we started with Hobie Polarized. Our goal is to bring new products and companies into the Loadout Room That we have not showcased before. Case in point; Hobie Polarized. At first I was a little leery of talking to another sunglasses company because we have showcased […]
