The Lansky Sharpening Stone | First Look

The Lansky Sharpening Stone | First Look

I received my Lansky Sharpening stone right before Shot Show 2017 and barely had a chance to look at before running to Las Vegas. Now that I’m home I finally have a chance to look it over and I’m probably well past due to sharpen a few of my favorite knives. The Lansky Sharpening Paddle […]

Jaybird X3 Sport Headphones - First Look

Jaybird Freedom Sport Headphones – First Look

Jaybird Sport is probably a name most of us do not know. The Jaybird Sport brand is an extension of Logitech that makes headphones. They don’t make your average headphones, though. Jaybird makes a few different headphones, but we are looking at the Jaybird Freedom headphones. The Jaybird Freedom headphones are high-quality headphones, but not […]

Tuff Gun Grips | Range and Carry Review

Tuff Gun Grips | Range and Carry Review

Tuff Gun Grips are a simple slide on grips that are designed to increase traction, comfort, and usability of a firearm. Do they do that exactly? Now some firearms may have a very aggressive checkering that allows for an easy and positive grip on your firearm. Some firearms may not. So before you buy identify if […]

The ESEE Advanced Survival Kit

The ESEE Advanced Survival Kit

ESEE Advanced Survival Kit In my initial overview of the ESEE Advanced survival kit we covered how most pre-made survival kits are crap, but the ESEE Advanced kit is the exception. The kit is easily the highest quality one I’ve ever seen. The products included aren’t bargain bin junk posing as survival. This stuff is […]

Kershaw Link | Refined Every Day Carry

Kershaw Link | Refined Every Day Carry

The Kershaw Link is just a great looking knife. I shouldn’t really care so much about a tool’s look, but the Link is just good-looking. The Blackwash finish and gray aluminum handles give it a modern appearance. It looks great, but it doesn’t look gaudy and doesn’t leap out at you. The longer you own and […]

Survival Snares | Kill, Eat and Survive

Survival Snares | Kill, Eat and Survive

Snares are a classic method of trapping game inside and out of survival situations. Survival snares are effective hunting tool for small game animals due to the simple fact they can hunt in multiple places, all at once. The trick to being successful with snares isn’t just building them right, but building a lot of […]

Tactical Tailor Concealed Carry Bag Full Review

Tactical Tailor Concealed Carry Bag Full Review

I’ve gotten some good range time and a ton of carry time with the Tactical Tailor Concealed Carry Bag. In that time not only have I gotten the ability to test the bag, but to truly test the idea of off-body concealed carry. The Tactical Tailor Concealed Carry Bag is a simple sling bag that […]

Tuff Grips - A First Look

Tuff Grips – A First Look

When it comes to polymer pistols you don’t have a lot of options to change the grips. You can change the backstraps with a few, and you can permanently alter the grips via stippling if you choose. That is really it, though. The idea behind Tuff Grips is to give you an alternative option to […]

Darebee | Free workouts at your fingertips

Darebee | Free workouts at your fingertips

I spent almost a year on a Naval Vessel that had a gym the size of a broom closet. I hate crowds, waiting and lines so I stayed out of them. Working out and general PT became all about what I could with my own body, mostly equipment free. Doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 this […]

Claymore messenger bag

The Claymore Messenger Bag – First Review

Welcome to the first of two Claymore messenger bag reviews from the Pike family. I’ve been carrying this week for some time and only quit recently to transfer to the Tactical Tailor Concealed carry bag. My wife is now taking the bag over and plans to give a woman’s perspective on it. The Claymore as […]
