A popular trend in everyday carry seems to be the survival tin. I am partial to them myself, they allow the prepared individual to carry everything needed for an extreme survival situation in a pint-sized pocket form. To be sure, my pockets seem to billow like a pillow the more I add to my everyday […]
I first came across the Chiappa Little Badger survival rifle in a magazine a few months ago, and distinctly recall thinking to myself, “I’m not sure how useful that would be… but it sure looks cool,” as I kept flipping through the pages. In that brief moment, I told myself that if I came across […]
Following a brief and successful Kickstarter campaign, Exotac is ready to release another quality product for the purposes of fire starting on the go. The nanoSPARK is a lightweight and portable tool that is guaranteed to be a must-have item in any EDC or outdoors kit. At only 0.6 ounces, the nanoSPARK uses a low […]

The UCO Stormproof Survival kit comes with a few items; a Mylar Tube Tent that comes compact and can be used in all-weather conditions and is great for retaining and reflecting body heat. Additionally it can hold two adults and comes with nylon cord to string it up, but that only helps if you have […]
Today we had the opportunity to attend the 2017 Outdoor Retailer Demo Experience. This is where you can get actual hands on with the new products select companies are releasing. One of those companies that we stopped to talk to was UCO Gear. At their tent they were demonstrating the effectiveness of their Titan Stormproof […]
I like to keep things simple, especially when it comes to navigating my way through the wilderness or some unknown remote region of the world. I recently read a book titled Some Thoughts On Scouts and Spies, which covers how the 18th-century woodland scouts and spies navigated through enemy territory without being detected, and what gear they […]
