Anyone who has tried to make notes on a notepad standing outside during bad weather knows the agony of soggy paper. I can say that in my 20+ years of professional work experience from being a deployed USAF Civil Engineer to my current career as an Emergency Manager more than once I’ve tried to decipher […]
Any everyday carry SERE (survival, evasion, resistance, escape) kit is a valuable piece of equipment. They can be applied to any potentially dangerous situation. A well put together kit should try to cover a wide array of scenarios but also be as minimalist as possible; if it’s cumbersome to carry in casual situations, you probably […]

It took me a while through trial and error to get it just right, combining seemingly unfitting parts together to make something useful as a whole. The entire kit is irreversible as […]
The course I took from Kyle Defoor a few years back was one of the best experiences I’ve had attending a shooting course. His professionalism, attention to detail, real-world experience and no bull-shit attitude were second to none. I’ve been following Kyle over the years to see what gear he recommends and his overall minimalist […]
I’ve completed numerous running events and a Tough Mudder event. The one thing I always thought would take an event like Tough Mudder to the next level, was to skydive into the start of the race and hit the ground running. Three Navy SEALs have committed to doing just that as part of an event […]
