The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
As turkey seasons are opening across the country, I find myself packing for my second trip of the season. I was lucky enough to be a part of a group trip to Florida to hunt Osceolas and test a bunch of products new to the market. Some were new in 2018, others are probably just […]
This is my first duffel style bag, and I never really knew if it was a style I would enjoy. But as soon as I started packing it full of my clothes, I found it incredibly useful. You’re no longer constrained by having to pack your least essential items in the bottom with the more […]
Although winter is slowly winding down and spring on the horizon, there is still a ton of snowfall out west. We get a fair amount of snow here in Northern Michigan but dearly lack the terrain features to really enjoy alpine skiing. So we’re packing up and heading to Salt Lake City, Utah to make […]
We here at Loadoutroom spend a lot of time testing equipment that people use in life-or-death situations. Serious gear used by military personnel, law enforcement and first responders. Every now and then it’s nice to take a break from the serious and indulge in the more lighthearted aspects of our industry. Such was the case […]
Grey Ghost Gear is proud to announce the release of its BAR-5200: the mightiest of modern rucks.

The OSF, or open source folder, is one of the most popular. The knife is a simple design, but a very effective one. […]
A late season trip to the Wasatch Mountain range in Utah paid off in spades. Whenever you plan a ski trip this late in the season, you risk deteriorating conditions. Unless it’s March 2019. Utah’s Wasatch mountains have seen over 550″ of snowfall this season and the resorts we decided to ski averaged a base […]

One of my favorite parts of SHOT show is always the Kershaw booth. Kershaw and Zero Tolerance are both owned by KAI Group and international cutlery organization. As such, both as shown off in the Kershaw booth. We walk in, exchange pleasantries then down opens the hidden shelf display to reveal this years line-up of […]
The Emerson Carnivore is a purpose-driven design. Its purpose is to slice your steak with ease into perfect bite-sized pieces of meat. Not to tear, crush and destroy a prime Wagyu dinner with a dull, tin knife made in China. And what’s more, is that you certainly can’t ignore the “show off factor.” Just like […]
