During our time in Las Vegas for SHOT Show, we co-hosted the Oasis for Villains party with several other companies. The venue was at the 2810 private gated resort house. Upon walking up to the driveway we had to show proof of our rsvp and then we were granted access to walk up to the […]
Trip Prep: Take only what you need
The course I took from Kyle Defoor a few years back was one of the best experiences I’ve had attending a shooting course. His professionalism, attention to detail, real-world experience and no bull-shit attitude were second to none. I’ve been following Kyle over the years to see what gear he recommends and his overall minimalist […]
Specter Series: Three Navy SEALs compete in an epic event
I’ve completed numerous running events and a Tough Mudder event. The one thing I always thought would take an event like Tough Mudder to the next level, was to skydive into the start of the race and hit the ground running. Three Navy SEALs have committed to doing just that as part of an event […]
NFW Operation Enduring Warrior AutoPilot: A watch with a story
The Operation Enduring Warrior watch by NFW is by far one of my favorite timepieces to wear. It’s not because of any fancy movements or materials used. The reason is the story behind it and what the watch symbolizes to me. To me, the term ‘Enduring Warrior’ signifies someone enduring the effects of combat and/or the […]
Photo of the day: Symbolism of the dagger and special operations
I have always been drawn to the design of the dagger mostly due to the symbolism with regards to Special Operations units. While on the floor at SHOT Show 2019, we stopped by one of our favorite vendors, Gerber Gear. Although they have several new products hitting the shelves, their folding dagger and fixed blade dagger continue […]

Photo of the day: Recon Marines prepare for extreme hike in South Korea
I remember going through the South Korean ROK Marine Mountain Warfare training center. Those ROK Marines were damn machines during the entire training course. I remember going up into the mountains one day, probably covering a few thousand feet in elevation, and they smoked us. Obviously, this is their backyard and they better be good […]
Range estimation simplified from an Army Delta Operator
Modern-day range estimation has become a lot easier for the common man to accomplish thanks to technology. Most optics these days can be had with range estimation built in, whether that is a spotting scope, scope mounted on your carbine or long gun, or a pair of binos. Back in the day the Marine Corps Scout […]
GORUCK Wire Dopp: A discreet way to transport your EDC
The GORUCK Wire Dopp is really a universal Dopp pouch, typically used for organizing electronics and the accompanying cords. Although I have used it in that capacity, I have found a different use for the Wire Dopp; Transporting my EDC items when traveling via ground transportation. Not only is this a practical way to transport your EDC, […]
Change up your workout by using a deck of cards
It’s easy to get bored or in a rut with your workout routine. I like to change things up every once in a while to keep things fresh. I’m a big fan of body weight exercises in conjunction with some type of cardio, whether that is swimming, running, rucking or biking. I’ve been doing the Violent […]
