Vorn Equipment of Stavanger, Norway has quietly been releasing some fantantiske rifle packs. When I received their Lynx hunting pack a few months ago, I had positive initial impressions. Now, I’ve had the Lynx for long enough to really test it out and get a feel for how it performs. Vorn’s Lynx is a 12 to 20 liter […]
I never thought a tool we traditionally use in the kitchen would be something that would excite me so damn much. Getting a grip on the ESEE Cleaver sends waves of excitement through me. Why? I have no idea. Maybe it’s the aggressive hand filling grip. Maybe it’s the massive cleaver blade that makes it heavy and […]
The Kershaw Barstow is a fine-looking knife. It’s not exactly old-school hunting knife or super modern tactical fighting knife. It’s more like it steeped out of the 1930s and is wearing a fedora and smoking a Lucky Strike. It really has a classy look to it. The spear point blade only has a single edge, but […]
The Woodsman shirt by Prometheus Design Werx (under their Danger Ranger Bear line) is billed as being “like your grandfathers favorite outdoor shirt he wore to the cabin”. True to form, trying this on was very reminiscent of borrowing my father’s, or grandfathers, wool shirts for hunting in the Alaskan wilderness when I’d grown big […]
Toor Knives is another small American made brand, not many have heard about. They make a line of semi custom fixed blade knives to address the problem of our military and law enforcement using sub-par knives in their loadouts. Toor Knives is owned and operated by two brothers. Not only are they blood brothers, but […]
When we engage in outdoor activities, whether it be camping with the family, surfing in Mexico, or hunting for our favorite wild game, we often have to make hard choices about what gear to take and what to leave at home. During these excursions and adventures there are necessities that we have to bring along, […]
The Columbia Heatzone 1000 TurboDown Jacket is touted as the world warmest jacket. That’s quite an ambitious claim considering the myriad of high-end down jackets available from manufacturers like The North Face, Mammut, RAB, Arc’Teryx, Marmot, and more. Columbia claims that the construction of this jacket is what sets it apart from its competitors. With a […]
When Triple Aught Design (TAD) comes out with new equipment or apparel, I know that I just have to get it and run it through some testing. The TAD Spectre line takes the “grey man” gear needs and balances the lines between tactical necessities and provides a civilian appearance. The Spectre systems adapt to the […]
In an effort to provide our readers with disaster preparedness information as well as recommended gear for go bags and survival kits, it’s sometimes hard for people to justify having a dedicated go bag. 99% of those that commute for work and school already carry some type of bag or backpack. Why not take advantage […]
Whatever the mission or adventure, medical supplies should never be overlooked. Casual gun owners, and even gun enthusiasts at times, tend to buy some of the most expensive firearms, accessories, and upgrades, but lack any investment in medical supplies. The same can be said for training: while it is responsible for gun owners to seek […]
