It’s really a difficult process for me to find an everyday carry pack that I feel fits the bill. An EDC bag first and foremost, in my mind, needs to not look the least bit tactical, it should be robust, discreet, and minimalist in design. Well after some thorough research, I came across Patagonia’s Atom 8L sling pack. A small, […]
Bremont is a well-known brand in the luxury watch industry. Most of their designs are based on military aviation, adventure racing such as the Dakar Rally and other extreme adventures such as crossing the Arctic Circle. Myself and the Editor-In-Chief of Hurricane Group had the opportunity recently to visit the Bremont Boutique in NYC. Seeing the build […]

An aesthetically appealing and ruggedly durable solution for EDC and exercise, the T.Q. “Thirst Quencher” Hydration Pack holds a 3L hydration pack in its main compartment, with room left […]
Anyone who spent more than a day in the military has had the pleasure of dealing with the issued GI bottle and the awfully bad tasting water that comes with it. Never, ever, forget anything else than water in these bottles because your water might taste like shit for weeks to come. During winter if it freezes […]

In the Marine Corps, we learned quickly the value of taking care of our boots after field exercises.

We always carried spare socks in our […]

Now that winter is upon us…well, it’s upon me, it’s time to talk about maintaining our warm weather gear. And nothing wins the war on insulating better than goose down. It’s insulation to weight ratio is second to none. And with the ability to compress down to a fraction of its lofted size, it’s my […]
On the list or survival priorities, fire is one of the big ones. Fire helps with the other three, those being food, water, and protection from the elements. You can cook, boil water, and stay warm with a fire. When it comes to lighting a fire you need to have rock-solid means of lighting that […]
Half Face Blades, man… Andy Arrabito. Owner of Half Face Blades, humbled, retired Frogman, actor/stuntman/military tech, badass, outdoorsman and visionary. Andy does it all. His vision behind Half Face Blades is revolutionary to say the least. I mean who doesn’t get intrigued by a guy who rode a horse with his face painted half black […]
