The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
I first heard about Voodoo Tactical about 9 months ago when I was beginning the transition from active duty to a contractor. I had heard very good things from team guys about Voodoo Tactical and decided to give them a chance. After 6 months of rugged wear and tear through everything from salt water, hot […]

When I was growing up the fanny pack was possibly the worst fashion accessory ever only worn by ironic hipsters and my friend’s dad Steve who had an incredible collection of high white socks commonly worn with a fanny pack and sandals on vacation. Then I joined the Marines and noticed members of our STA […]
The D-BAG by Q -BLUE is the company’s solution to the market of discreet weapon’s cases. The case was designed via a collaboration with Blue Force Gear. The case seems to be an evolution of the now discontinued line of Blue Force Gear Dapper cases. I have owned the BFG 28″ Mk18 case for several years. […]
Although I am very biased towards the LBT 6094 as my “do everything” carrier, I realize that sometimes there is a need for a much lighter carrier.

The KLAUX sets itself apart from other armor carrier systems currently available by using a patent-pending quick attach buckle. This distinct emergency-release system is built directly into the front attachment points of the vest. This allows […]
One of my favorite movies from years back is HEAT. I think what intrigued me the most about the the movie was the professional appearance of the bank robbers. Yes they openly carried AR style rifles into the banks, but under their business suits were low-vis rigs that retained several 30 round magazines. Nowadays that […]
Aside from combat, I am most often asked about my experiences as a paratrooper. To become Airborne qualified (jump wings) you must first attend and pass Airborne school at Fort Benning, GA. I attended this course directly after Basic/AIT training. However, there were many people in my class that had been in the military for […]
