Winter has finally arrived in my little slice of Florida, with temperatures in the 50s it’s downright chilly for us sun people. I can finally put on my new Propper BA Softshell Duty shell. The fine folks at Propper sent it to me a while back but it’s hardly been cold enough for a proper […]

The Yeti Tundra has been an icon in the outdoor market for a decade now. With its “ice for days” capability, it has become an essential item on our Overland adventures. Easily maintaining the initial 20-pound ice load for 4+ days, we have utilized these coolers all over the place. The Yeti Tundras do a […]
Water: a basic necessity for survival, but often enough treated as an afterthought. When heading out camping, most usually grab a gallon of it in a jug and go. What happens when you need more? You can drink from a stream, never-minding the pine needles and floaties, and pray that you don’t get crippling diarrhea. […]

In Florida, it’s a welcome reprieve from 80% humidity and 98-degree temperatures. Living in North Western Florida it still gets cold(ish). So this year after losing 45 pounds I knew I […]
The Marine Corps Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa Japan had to be one of my favorite deployments. Learning how to operate and survive in a jungle environment is vastly different than a desert or woodland environment. There are also threats native to the jungle that you must be aware of. I remember attending a […]

One of Gerber’s newer folding knives is the Gerber US-Assist, adding to Gerber’s popular and diverse lineup. As alluded to by its name, the US-Assist features an assist-opening mechanism designed for smooth and rapid deployment […]
Before I do a review on a new piece of gear or order something new for that matter, I always try to do a pretty good amount of research. In the case of the Ronin Tactics Warrior’s Belt, there isn’t much available so I’m here to remedy that. Ronin Tactics is following the current trend of the […]
I always find it an interesting study when a company is named after something historical, whether a person or a group. Sometimes it’s a catchy gimmick, sometimes it’s a true ethos that the brand lives and dies by. In this case, today’s review item is the Cannae Sarcina Rally Pack. The company name takes its […]
