Summer is upon us in south Florida, and that means sweat – lots of it. Standard beach (and shooting range) attire here seems to consist mostly of sun shirts – those light & loose SPF tops that fishermen wear. Yeah…that doesn’t work for me. While they might ward off the UV rays and provide a […]
I’ll admit it – I’m a hat guy. Historically they’ve mostly been baseball cap-style hats, my two favorite being a ‘dad hat’ I picked up in Amsterdam and a Legacy brand one that I bought on Kauai – that one is so broken in you can barely see the chicken logo anymore. But having lived […]
The Scorpion Pack isn’t just your average hip sack; it’s a beast of a bag that combines comfort with versatile carry options. Its removable waist belt, which stabilizes the 4.5L pack, features 2 rows of M.O.L.L.E. for attaching extra pouches or water bottle holders. When you need a change, simply detach the waist belt and […]
You ever hear the line, “it ain’t easy being green”? Well it ain’t I’m 6’7″, flipper sized feet, piano fingers and a big hat size all crammed into one body walking around trying to make my way in the world, and some days I get the feeling the world just isn’t made for people my […]
The annual SHOT Show is usually populated by booths showing more of the same, “A little newer, lighter and more expensive” was my answer when questioned what the theme this year was. 5.11 Tactical, however, dropped a lot of new products. I was invited to their Las Vegas retail store for a media meet-and-greet and was […]

Why did Carhartt and Hurley – two brands with a long history of making purpose-built gear – join forces to #OutworkTheWater? When considering approximately 71 percent of the planet’s surface is covered with water, and nearly every person in the U.S. is within range of an ocean, lake, stream, pond, or creek, it starts to make […]
5.11 Tactical is showing their creative mind with the Peninsula Insulator Packable Jacket. This lightweight and comfortable jacket has some interesting features. The Primaloft® Black Series Insulation gives an extremely comfortable ride while maintaining warmth. The body is insulated at 100gm and the sleeves at 80gm; enough to keep you comfortable in most conditions. The […]
Another January in the books and two major trade shows attended. Like last year, I attended SHOT Show in Las Vegas with the crew from the Loadout Room. And then flew directly to Denver for Outdoor Retailer the following week. Two weeks living out of a 5.11 suitcase and backpack in various AirBnb’s but I’m […]
Whenever I attend Outdoor Retailer, I usually have an agenda. Searching for innovative new products but never overlooking bombproof existing items. Mainly to improve something I’m working on for the Loadout Room. As I delve into the Overland space, I’ve found a few personal items of mine that require improvement. A rugged pair of trousers […]
