Professional Gear Reviews
I consider myself to be somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to hiking. In previous reviews, I covered both the belt pouch and a SERE drop pouch. These pouches combined with a decent folding knife and water bottle give you a solid kit for those smaller day hikes. In my search for Made in […]
Naval Special Warfare Command made the decision to add the Glock 19 to the available inventory of the SEAL Teams a little over a year ago. They will slowly begin to phase out the Sig Sauer P226 and replace those with the Glock 19 platform. There is nothing wrong with the Sig Sauer P226. It has […]
The Raven Concealment Eidolon holster has been around for about 2 years now, but I just recently purchased one for personal use. Ever since the Eidolon was released, several other kydex holster companies started incorporating the RCS claw and holster wedge. Those other companies may produce a more affordable holster with similar features, but it’s […]
If you have read any of my previous articles you know the importance I place on always having a blade. A common question often asked is ‘what is the best knife to have?’. The blanket answer to that is ‘the knife you have on you’. The Gerber Freescape Folding Sheath Knife is marketed as a […]
How good is a match barrel? What will it do for you that a stock OEM barrel won’t? Generally speaking a good match barrel will cut your groups in half at 25 yards. That is if you have a solid grasp of shooting skills and the fundamentals. Here is my thought process for getting a […]
Over the course of time I have settled on a no-bullshit small minimalist cleaning/maintenance kit for my Glock that goes into my range bag. This small kit is the result of my military service, many years of going to my local range and attending shooting courses. This kit contains everything I need and nothing I […]
The Victorinox Birds Beak knives have become quite popular as a low-cost throw away knife for personal defense. The only issue was a sheath. Obviously the knives were not made with personal defense in mind, but rather as a shaping knife for the home chef. At first many were making what was called a ‘hobo […]
Those that follow me know I like the sheaths that Blade Rigs offers. I was first introduced to Blade Rigs by way of Kyle Defoor. The one thing that almost all knife manufacturers miss the mark on is the sheath, especially for concealed fixed blades. Blade Rigs has filled that void with a superior design. I […]
I recently did a quick review of the FITS Tactical Crew Socks, which have been performing quite well. Having such a good first impression with the Tactical Crew Socks, I decided to give the quarter height hiking socks. I generally prefer a quarter height hiking sock whether I’m wearing shoes or hiking boots. The FITS […]
I’ve been through several different types of water bottles and water filter systems over the years. The water bottle can be somewhat of a debate to those in the survival community. Some prefer stainless steel over plastic for the sole purpose of being able to boil your water. For a while I carried a 32oz […]
