Professional Gear Reviews
Rad’s still hanging out at the Brighton Ski Resort in Utah, checking out the snow conditions and breaking down the best gear for cold weather hikes, outdoor adventuring, or just a leisurely day on the slopes. This time, it’s the Burton Moto Boa snowboarding boots that have Rad’s attention. These boots are advertised as feeling […]
While shooting my shotgun one day I thought “man, it would be nice if this thing had a rail on it. And if there isn’t a company already making one, I’m going to start one.” A quick google search killed my second idea, as I found there was indeed a company already making rails for […]
In this video, Rad hits the slopes at Brighton Ski Resort in Utah to talk Arc’teryx cold weather gear. Just like Steve Irwin, Rad specializes in finding the best stuff out in the wild. Unlike Steve Irwin, Rad prefers gear over deadly animals. We’ll let him tell you why these Arc’teryx jackets are so good. […]
Of course, we all know there’s no such thing as an “all in one” survival kit, especially when we’re talking about something compact enough to stash in the glove box of your car, but the folks over at the Crate Club know their gear, and they managed to jam this small survival kit with 12 […]

I first came across the Chiappa Little Badger survival rifle in a magazine a few months ago, and distinctly recall thinking to myself, “I’m not sure how useful that would be… but it sure looks cool,” as I kept flipping through the pages. In that brief moment, I told myself that if I came across […]
Surgical, precise, fluid, dynamic, tough and always ready describes the professional operator, executive, or adventurer. Limited only by the constraints of physics and his own humanity, the professional operator carefully chooses every piece of gear he carries. The responsibility for remaining both agile and quick leaves no room for any gear which only serves a […]
In an effort to further minimize my EDC I have begun to carry a new light. Regular handheld lights can be difficult to conceal and carry a weight that could be better used in a different capacity like an extra magazine or a fixed blade knife. Consequently, I have found a pretty good trade off […]
Knives are excellent backup weapons if you’re carrying a pistol. They also make good primary weapons for an everyday carry if you are unable to carry a pistol. Often when traveling abroad, I have found it exponentially easier to obtain a good knife than a reliable (or affordable) pistol. They are usually cheaper and easier […]
In Hawaii, Eduardo Garcia is joined by his landscape “interpreters” and pros each in their own right, Shane Dorian and Mark Healey. Here they show Eduardo Garcia how to traverse the terrain in pursuit of Axis deer, then head to the water to override the body’s over-protective instinct to breathe while spear fishing. What results […]
