DMOS is an acronym for “Do My Own Shit”. Or Stunts, Shoveling or maybe even Stuff. It matters not what your “S” stands for. What matters, is that the Alpha 2 Shovel, along with all the products from the DMOS Collective, will not let you down in a pinch. Most snow shovels have become nothing more […]
Spartan Blades CQB tool. Real world tests on blades are a challenge when that blade has one primary purpose: to push through flesh quickly, again and again. To test the edge as well as the CQB tool’s durability, I took it out commercial fishing in Alaska. For 30 straight days, I used it in an […]

The market is saturated with day packs. With so many to choose from it can at times be difficult for a company to stand out with a product. Cannae comes to the scene with the Legion Elite Day Pack which stands out in several unique ways that I found particularly useful. Even though this pack has some very specific […]
Being an avid hiker as well as a writer for The Loadout Room, I’ve had the opportunity to test out a variety of unique backpacks. Rockagator brings another one to the table with their Rockagator Hydric Series Original Waterproof Backpack.
