Basic Navigational Tools: The Suunto M9 wrist compass
A compass matters. A good compass is not hard to come by, but often times they can be something of a pain to deal with. This is especially true during squad movements. As a backup navigator, I’m constantly checking my buddies heading to make sure he’s good to go and that we’re on course. Pulling […]
Shorts, sandals, salmon and a Toor Knife
It started off as a typical Monday; some PT (Physical Training), a little admin nonsense and a short brief on the day’s planned shenanigans (I didn’t know what shenanigans were in store for that day). My coworker Nick is something of an avid fisherman. Normally, it is more of a casual dalliance but with the majority […]

Sneak peek at the Grey Ghost Gear RRS Transport Bag
We just got in the new Grey Ghost Gear RRS Transport Bag. The idea behind this bag is a vehicle go-bag, so that’s how I plan on employing this bag. Over the course of the next few weeks, I’m going to load this out as a vehicle go bag in my Chevy Silverado Trail Boss. […]
How safe is axe throwing? Check this out!
This just makes me cringe when I watch this video. It’s like a bad car accident; you can’t look away once you start watching. I’ve thrown my share of tomahawks and axes. Never once did I have this happen. Damn. Best comment below wins this Kershaw Seguin folding knife *Photo courtesy of Big […]
Zero Tolerance 0470 folding knife
I first saw Zero Tolerance in 2007 at Grey Group Training in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I was immediately attracted to the look of their knives. But their price point turned me off. So when I got the chance to review the 0470 model, I jumped on it. Designed by Dimitri Sinkevitch and coming in at […]

PCCs is a broad term and covers both rifles like the Ruger PCC and pistols like the Scorpion and they’ve never been more popular than now.

The new Napier Backroadz SUV Tent, Model 19100
I recently received the Napier Backroadz SUV tent for review. I was very excited about this project as I had donated my last tent to a local organization and have been looking at tents or campers that I could use I conjunction with my vehicle (Honda CRV, 2009). When the tent arrived I unpacked it […]

As far as lights go, I have usually kept a small flashlight or chemlight handy. With the Helix Backcountry LED Lantern from Princeton Tec, you can have light anywhere you want, anytime […]
