NO METAL & PLENTY OF NOSTALGIA: The “X-2” G10 Blade by Black Triangle
Another great article from Sean Northrop. MOVIE SLOGANS! Most of Us can remember walking into our local Movie Rental Store, and seeing them everywhere. The posters, the cardboard cutouts, but almost always on the front of each Movie case. Love them, or hate them, they all ultimately served one purpose, to convey a message. Usually […]

Laundry In The Field? It’s Possible With A Scrubba Bag!
Being in the Army while in the field can be difficult at times, with bad weather, inhospitable environments, no phone, no light/power, and no motor car (as the song used to say), among many other things.

Traser: Swiss Quality Since 1969
I have a confession to make. I’m a bit of a watch nerd. Can’t get enough of ’em. Don’t tell my wife, but my current collection is hovering somewhere in the 30-something range. When you are in the military, an accurate timepiece is an absolute necessity. It’s a piece of kit—a tool. Heck, you can […]

Bluetti Handsfree 2 Review: The Ultimate Power Backpack for Off-Grid Adventurers
Recently I was given the opportunity to try out the Bluetti Handsfree 2 Backpack Power Station for The Loadout Room. I’ve used just about every kind of backpack there is over just about every kind of terrain. Before it arrived, I wondered how it could possibly be any different or better than what I’d already […]
XGO Good to Go?
Summer is upon us in south Florida, and that means sweat – lots of it. Standard beach (and shooting range) attire here seems to consist mostly of sun shirts – those light & loose SPF tops that fishermen wear. Yeah…that doesn’t work for me. While they might ward off the UV rays and provide a […]
