Around our house, we take coffee very seriously. We’ve tried it all: Moka Pot, French Press, Drip, Burr grinders, you name it. Recently we’ve found that a simple cup of pour over coffee is the way to go. There’s a precise amount for the coffee to water ratio, temperature, drip time, rest time, grind setting etc. […]
The Goal Zero Switch 8 Recharger is a compact power supply, best suited for smaller USB powered devices, that can be replenished by laptop or by way of the sun. The Switch 8 can bring life back to a flatlined smartphone within an hour and be ready to do it again in another 4. So […]
During my last trip into the Sequoias I became enamored with the park’s ability to strip my consciousness of any and all thought, worry or concern.  I found myself daydreaming about the towering granite walls and Sequoia tress so large that their gravity would seem to pull the toxins from my soul. Yes a bit majestic and grandiose; […]
Last week I had the opportunity to visit with Dave Rhoden at 511 Tactical Gear. He sat me down in their conference room, pulled out a pen and with a look of intensity asked, “What do you need?”. I went on to tell him about how relevant the tactics, principles, and gear were to professionals […]

While attending a few sniper courses before a deployment to Afghanistan, we were told that the era of the ghillie suit had faded. Â Although we practiced traditional stalks and ghillie suit construction, most of us knew/thought that we would have no need for them while deployed, especially us being more of a direct action sniper.

For several months, there were rumors that there was another company coming out with a helmet to compete with the line of Ops Core Carbon Fiber helmets. Then pictures started to appear on Facebook and it was a rumored that Team Wendy was the company that was going to produce them. Â Then, Team Wendy made […]
When I was preparing for my first national airsoft event, I needed to find a “Dead Light”. This is a colored LED Light or glowstick that denotes when you have been hit at night. During the day, you can use a “Dead Rag”, but you can’t see them at night. The glowstick idea was ok, […]
A man walks along a lonely road, barely more than a foot-beaten path, nestled into the Scottish mountainside. A long scabbard affixes a claymore to his back to protect him from anything the wilds of the wood may present him on his journey home. The sporran slung around his waist jingles with coin, marking the […]
It is no secret that LBT is a sponsor of ours but in all honesty you’ve probably noticed that we only partner with solid companies that we believe in (e.g. you will not find some ACME me too tactical brand on here). Main Features * Heavy duty carry handle * Covered ports for hydration system […]
