The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
The Kershaw Natrix XL is a large, capable blade. Big enough to fight with, slim and well designed enough to conceal easily. Featuring a heat treated blade, it’s tough enough for any job around the campsite. The super smooth opening and pocket clip placement mean its easy to get into action. The frame lock means […]
Three things that kept us warm at Overland Expo East. Outdoor Research Illuminate Hoody, delicious Black Rifle Coffee and a pair of Hydro Flask 12oz coffee mugs. The Loadout Room thanks you for the support!
Most everyone carries a bag, whether it’s a backpack, purse, messenger bag, or if you’re a tourist in DC, a fanny pack and FBI hat with CIA shirt. Now, if you were in the military, your bag was a ruck. And if you served a while back, as I did, your ruck had an external frame that […]
We have published a few articles highlighting vehicle loadouts, but most of those are wrapped around the concept of bugging out. In this article, I’m referring to my backpack as a Batman bag. The term Batman Bag is coined from Pat McNamara’s Sentinel course. One of his breakout sessions deals with vehicle preparedness and the concept […]

An Overland game changer. Switching from standard coolers to a powered cooler from Dometic for next seasons longer trips. The rugged CFX75DZ is a dual zone fridge/freezer that runs efficiently on 12-24DC as well as AC power sources. Allowing us to cut our reliance on ice to keep perishable foods fresh and beer cold.
Owning a boat, ATV or RV can be fun. Recreational items are a great way to unwind and spend time with family and friends. Downsides to these items are the frequency of use and storage. Oh yeah, and cost. Unlike your daily driver that fits in the garage, recreational items often need to be stored […]
Definition of an Apex Predator: A predator at the top of a food chain that is not preyed upon by another animal. The Emerson Tiger knife is just like a real tiger- an apex predator. It is a purebred fighting knife featuring a razor sharp trailing point wed to a serious self-defense handle style culminating […]
Rumpl makes some of the warmest, coziest blankets around. For a couple of years now, our family has become a total convert. From the original puffy blanket to the Sherpa, Beach Shammy Towels and now the Ground Cover. Often times while at a concert, picnic, camping or just a day at the beach, we find […]
