Professional Gear Reviews
A few months ago I was prepping and planning for Hurricane Irma to make landfall in Florida. I had food, I had water, and I was generally ready to evacuate. One way thing I was deeply concerned about was my firearms. Your standard firearm’s cases stand out and make themselves nice and obvious. I wish I […]
My first day in the fleet my machine gun section leader looked at me and asked where my note taking material was. I was confused, no one told me to bring note taking gear and I explained as such. His reply was simple, always have it in your hip pocket, in case a class starts […]
Growing up, I always remember my Dad being prepared. Didn’t matter where we were going or what we were doing, he always seemed to have the right tools for the right job. Most notably he always had his Swiss Army Executive pocket knife in his pocket. Used it for everything from picking locks to daily utility […]
It’s amazing how much gear individuals in the military adopt and use without official issue. Sometimes this gear serves its purpose in the way it was designed, for example, Merell boots were adopted by numerous soldiers on their own dime. Other times the gear is modified to fulfill a certain purpose. The Pak Rat is a […]
This months PRO Crate has an interesting mix of contents. I can usually figure out where the Crate Club Gurus were going with each crate but not this one. It includes an eclectic mix of treasures.

Due to relocating the Crate Club warehouse from the East Coast to Ohio, the September and October crates were combined and shipped together in October. So the agonizingly long wait is over. It wasn’t really that bad. Arriving on my doorstep was the […]
The Gray man as a concept is simple to understand. It’s someone who is trying to keep an incredibly low profile, to avoid drawing attention to themselves. Throughout a normal day, a normal person doesn’t worry about this, but if you are planning to do something dangerous then its best not to be noticed. A […]
The Crate Club recently moved warehouses for several reasons, but mainly to streamline our product procurement and shipping services to the subscribers. We had to move ALL inventory from NJ to Ohio which has caused a significant delay in getting crates shipped out to customers. We now have all product in the new warehouse and […]
It was a cold afternoon in January 2013. My friend, Joe, and I were standing on a snowy, ice-covered lake. Unfortunately, an unexpected rain the day before had created some slush on the surface that made us cautious as we fished near the dock. We were waiting for another friend to join us on the […]
