Professional Gear Reviews
I enjoy the preparedness lifestyle, but it can quickly turn into a hoarding lifestyle. I’ve had a go-bag for quite some time that just sat unused either in my office or in the back of my vehicle. Yes, I was prepared, but I never found myself using the stuff. In my mind, it was almost […]
Many people, when they think about preparedness, think of Doomsday Preppers on National Geographic or Mad Max movies and a land without laws after a catastrophic event. Both of these ideas are ridiculous in their own way, but once someone gets an idea in their heads its difficult to change their thinking, which brings us […]

In the past years I’ve noticed my EDC that I carry on my person growing more and more to the point that it is impossible to be comfortable going anywhere. Carrying a Pistol, spare mag, pocket knife, fixed blade knife, flashlight, and cell phone every day in your jeans is next to impossible so I […]
Yesterday we witnessed yet another attack on the homeland. This specific attacked happened in NYC, just blocks from the World Trade Center. Although not nearly as deadly as 9/11, it’s still an attack on our country no matter how small. The weapon used in this specific attack was a rental truck. The terrorist used the […]
When people say that cheap gear is cheaply made, they are typically correct. However, LUCI is the benchmark for the exception to that vernacular . Â The LUCI Outdoor by MPOWERD is the most pragmatic piece of field gear that I own. It is a self contained, inflatable, waterproof and solar-powered little engine that could. I […]
The President has designated this month as National Preparedness Month and so with that in mind…let’s talk about Go Bags. Most people outside of the military, law enforcement and weary world travelers don’t know what a go bag is, so I guess defining what it is should be our first order of business. Your Go […]
