The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
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 high pitched squeal […]
Any everyday carry SERE (survival, evasion, resistance, escape) kit is a valuable piece of equipment. They can be applied to any potentially dangerous situation. A well put together kit should try to cover a wide array of scenarios but also be as minimalist as possible; if it’s cumbersome to carry in casual situations, you probably […]
These photos and post were taken from Kyle Defoor’s Facebook page. Like I’ve said before, I’ve trained with Kyle and have been following him for several years now. Kyle has a lot of experience with most types of gear and clothing, especially when it comes to travel and shooting. I’ve adopted some of Kyles methods […]
I made this mini go-bag from spare parts and by cannibalizing from gear I already had as part of my packing list on a whim in a hotel room. It took me a while through trial and error to get it just right, combining seemingly unfitting parts together to make something useful as a whole. The entire kit is irreversible as […]
The course I took from Kyle Defoor a few years back was one of the best experiences I’ve had attending a shooting course. His professionalism, attention to detail, real-world experience and no bull-shit attitude were second to none. I’ve been following Kyle over the years to see what gear he recommends and his overall minimalist […]
I’ve completed numerous running events and a Tough Mudder event. The one thing I always thought would take an event like Tough Mudder to the next level, was to skydive into the start of the race and hit the ground running. Three Navy SEALs have committed to doing just that as part of an event […]
A Red, Green, Blue, and White Light Princeton Tec of New Jersey has been making lighting solutions since 1975. This year at SHOT Show 2019 they are debuting a new RGB SNAP lighting system. Talking with Katie of Princeton Tec made it obvious that she and the employees of Princeton Tec understand and use the […]
Kyle Defoor goes over his personal Harley Davidson motorcycle and the modifications he’s made to it. Kyle has been riding motorcycles for 20+ years and knows a thing or two on taking them on multi-day road trips. He also covers his typical loadout when riding and how to keep everything low-vis, so that you’re not advertising […]
This is my first go with Pelican Coolers, so this is my first impression of the product and brand. The two coolers I received were the 30qt Elite Cooler and larger 70qt Elite Cooler. You can tell as soon as you lift them out of the box, you’ve got a quality cooler. Just the heft […]
It all started for me back in the early 90’s while living in Washington State. I grew up in a military family and moved all over the world. But Washington is where I graduated from high school and spent my time in the 2nd Ranger Battalion. A beautiful place with snow-capped peaks, endless evergreen forests […]
