If you’re going out to the square range for some super-cool tactical operator operations, you probably only need your rifle, handgun, plate carrier and sunglasses. However, if you’re going to go hiking, zombie-hunting, or even do decent training, you’ll need to carry along some basic necessities. How will you carry them? Backpacks are fine, but […]
When Creek offered me the opportunity to do a knife review on the Ontario Air Force Survival Knife I jumped at the chance. It had been about 12 years since I had last used one as a USAF Survival Evasion Reaistance and Escape (S.E.R.E) Instructor at the USAF Survival School at Fairchild AFB. But I […]
I like gadgets and things in which to carry them. Last year, I fairly assaulted SHOT Show 2012 wearing a Maxpedition Sitka in Khaki. It was just too small for my burden then, and for 2013 I had since added a Canon DSLR. Although a sling bag is easy to access, when filled […]
On the fourth day of Gerber Week this writer brings to you, a pretty good utility/camp knife. Did anybody sing that with me? No? I guess it’s still too early for Christmas songs, but not too early to think about getting this for someone as a stocking stuffer. That’s right, I’m endorsing a Gerber product. While […]
If a guy’s wearing a gun belt, he’s probably a combat-style shooter. Reason being, the more you shoot in a combat style — shooting and moving, or shooting at dynamic targets — the more you realize you need a PLATFORM for your firearms. A range bag won’t do it. In fact, nine times out of […]
There are some places where toting a desert tan gun case slathered in MOLLE straps is a normal everyday occurrence. I don’t live in one of those places. I live in Austin, Texas. A place where it’s more socially acceptable to ride a unicycle down the street while wearing a tight plaid shirt, suspenders and an […]
When we make some advancement in technology, engineering or mathematics, the natural reaction is to run wild with it and apply it to everything. That’s why you can now wear a watch that has more computing power than the lunar modules had during the Apollo flights. Your tablet has more computing power than mainframes had […]
Recently, Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. send us one of their slick littleSkeletool multi-tools to review. This can be viewed as the little brother to the MUT we previously reviewed. I have carried some form of knife in my pocket for most of my life. They have ranged from large defensive folders to small utility knives. Big […]
In decades gone by, they used to say there were only two types of riflemen: those who owned Marlin Model 60s and those who fancied Ruger’s 10/22. Both of these designs have proven hugely popular, with more than 11 million Model 60s and 5 million 10/22s being sold. Many a young shooter has cut his […]
Walking through WalMart on the weekly grocery run, I happened to notice a rather interesting looking folding knife on one of the end caps. The knife looked good and advertised “G10” scales. Unfortunately it was in a clamshell pack with the “Ozark Trails” brand. If you are unfamiliar with this brand, it is WalMart’s own […]
