I was slouched over a stack of pancakes in the BUD/S chow hall, quietly experiencing the thousands of microabrasions that come with 48 hours of being wet and sandy. It was Tuesday night of Hell Week, and it was the first time the pain of it all had really settled in. It was the burning […]
I have owned several folding knives that became favorites for various reasons. Sometimes it is a functional feature, other times aesthetic. With Emerson’s CQC-7BW it all boils down to that incredible chisel ground ‘B’ blade and Tanto style point. It wraps everything I want out of a blade into one – durability, design, and function. […]
When it comes to purchasing a new firearm, it pays to do your homework. You want to know that you’re getting a reliable platform, that it doesn’t have any glaring safety issues, and that you’re getting a good value for the price you’re paying. The problem is, it can be pretty tough to find that […]
It’s okay to own a piece of EDC gear that isn’t tactical. Really, it is. Sure there are some items that don’t have a substitute, but when it comes to a watch I found a company that focuses on bringing a piece of American history back to life in such a way that it fits […]

Call it paranoia, flights of fancy or good old-fashioned preparedness, but in recent years more and more Americans have taken to stocking up on supplies, taking a second look at their home security, and keeping an eye on the horizon for any signs of an impending apocalypse. Some psychologists argue that our growing infatuation with the […]

Staffed exclusively with US Army Special Operations combat veterans, Northern Red specializes in developing core skills, application of skills and cultural transformations of law enforcement and security forces at a metro and national level.

What better way to spend Tactical Tuesday than in Las Vegas at Range Day, Shot Show 2018. Huge thanks to Gatorz Eyewear for having us out! We got to hang with some awesome people and I got to shoot guns. So can’t really beat a day like that. Thanks to everyone who came out! – Nick […]
As a student reporting to and going through BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL), your heart pounds with excitement at the idea of having the opportunity to be one member of a small and tight-knit family that has an even tighter bond than that of your family blood. The mind races and adrenaline pumps, wondering what sort […]
