I’ve not only seen a lot of rescue tools, I’ve used a few as well. In the Ranger Regiment, we practiced extracting pilots and soldiers from aircraft and other vehicles. When you have a dedicated C-SAR (Combat-Search And Rescue) team, you have the luxury of having all the tools necessary plus the personal to operate […]
We’ve all been there — stuck on the side of the road swapping out a flat tire for our spare in the pouring rain. For a fair number of us, that rainy flat tire happened to come on a day when you were wearing your best duds for an important meeting or your finest uniform […]
On July 4th, holiday celebrations throughout the American Southwest were put on hold when a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck the region, fracturing roads and prompting serious concern from many residents of Southern California. The following night, an even more powerful magnitude 7.1 earthquake tore through the same communities, having already weathered numerous aftershocks. This subsequent […]
I got linked up with Gray Man Training through a mutual friend and was sent this IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) to see what I thought. The short answer is, “I’m a fan.” But for those who want some more details, keep reading. What I like most about the Gray Man IFAK is it is […]

No way were we going to pass that up. […]
We’ve all been there–You’re having a nice day at the beach, a lazy Sunday on the boat, or maybe just a barbecue with a few sprinklers set up for the kids and whether you meant to or not, you end up soaking wet. Modern phones are built to hold up to that kind of punishment […]
With a company like Exotac, you can pretty much guarantee that you are going to receive an amazing product for starting a fire in any condition. I’ve been so impressed with their products lately, and I’m more than eager to get my hands on their stuff when it’s available. For this review, I’ll be focusing […]
The name Black Ember may not be familiar to some of you and I wouldn’t feel bad. The pack community is quickly becoming a saturated market now-a-days, leaving us to discover new companies every single day. This market saturation could crush brands that make an amazing product, but slack in their marketing efforts. As I […]
We’ve scoped out the SANS-13 Tactical Sport Watch from S&B (formerly Smith and Bradley) before and found it to be an exceptional field timepiece, but the watch recently underwent a redesign that was informed heavily by feedback S&B received directly from military and law enforcement users. The result is one hell of a tough duty […]
