Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X: A Thoroughly Bright Review In a world that can get unexpectedly dark, whether you’re negotiating the treacherous terrain of your living room chasing a midnight snacky snack or trying to navigate a forest infested with bears, mountain cougars, and God knows what else; having a reliable flashlight is a must.

Recently I was given the opportunity to try out the Bluetti Handsfree 2 Backpack Power Station for The Loadout Room. I’ve used just about every kind of backpack there is over just about every kind of terrain. Before it arrived, I wondered how it could possibly be any different or better than what I’d already […]
I enjoy weeklong excursions in the wilderness as much as the next guy, but that’s not an option when you lead a busy life. I know, I know, I hear you already: “But Rodney, the point of going on a long trip in the wild is to escape the hustle and bustle.” Well, yes, you […]
It’s not everyday that someone in the family graduates, and then it’s an even more rare occasion that someone graduates the Army Sniper Course held at Ft Moore, Columbus GA. Recently I was privileged to attend a graduation held there and came away with some impressions about the course and the people conducting it. The […]

I’m starting to consider myself an Overlander now, but I’ve only been at it for a couple of years. Still a green horn by all accounts and measurements. So I constantly refine my personal equipment, vehicle and loadout after each trip. It’s the only way to get better. Figure out what worked, what didn’t, and […]
Grab your gear and go. In the military, especially in Ranger School, you are taught and instructed to never have more than one item out of your ruck at a time. It was always entertaining to see some guy in the position next to me with both boots and socks off just as that fateful […]
The Scrubba Tactical Washbag is a nice little design intending to keep your bags a little lighter by offering you the option of cleaning clothes easily and effectively. While I posted my initial impressions here, I’ve now had the opportunity to air my dirty laundry a bit. To recap, the Scrubba is a polyether bag with […]
One of the essential items I’ve found while traveling Overland is a good set of tools. If you plan to take to the hills for an extended period of time and put your rig to the test, things can break. And they do. Being stranded in the middle of nowhere without the means to patch […]
