Sea to Summit X11 Camp Set
Here at The Loadout Room you may have noticed a theme among our writing staff, we like to push our boundaries beyond what other people might consider normal. On these excursions, we love to test the limits of the equipment we get to demo and tell you about it. One major reoccurring concern we have […]
Things To Keep In Mind Before Climbing Outdoors
Went out this morning with Jordan McDougal. We’d been planning to run up to a solitary area that he knew about. He was going to show me a canyon that required some running and climbing to get into. First, I have to say that Jordan is fast. Second, he is nimble. Third, he makes it […]
GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Dualist Camp Set
It’s never too early to start planning for next years excursions. The problem that many of us face when planning our trips, loading up our backpacks and vehicles, is what style of cookware do we take with us, and what kind to leave at home. In my trip planning, I am fortunate to only have […]
ITS Tactical Discreet Messenger Bag
The tactical world has come a long way with new developments that allow us to adapt to our everyday surroundings with the equipment we carry. Not everyone works a 9-5 desk job and some people even prefer the outdoor mobile work environment over sitting at a desk all day. When we are on the move, […]

Staying hydrated is important regardless of the season and Yeti has a cooler to haul your beverage of choice for every occasion. New for 2017 is a soft sided cube […]

With spring right around the corner, now’s the time to treat yourself to a little break (or at least start planning for one). And […]
Weekend Adventure – Plan, Prepare, Practice
I recently went on a little weekend adventure with the dog, and although I thought it would have been a nice outing it turned out that I was up for a reminder of the very basics of any outdoor activity. I wanted to walk through the wooded areas near where I live, sort of like […]
Vertx Professional Rifle Garment Bag | Review
One of the benefits of writing for The Loadout Room is the ability to test and review some of the industry’s newest and cutting edge products. Vertx has provided me with an interesting piece of kit that will appeal to the CIA, Executive Security, James Bond types. Designed for situations requiring the need to pack […]
