One thing I noticed after attending Outdoor Retailer this summer, that the Overland market has really taken off. Several outdoor manufacturers are now using Overland vehicles to help display their products. From Roof Top Tents, to electric coolers, solar panels, batteries and anything else to improve the Overland experience. While other companies showcased compact off-road […]

The AMTAC Blades Northman: From Combatives to Backcountry use
Recently Bill Rapier of AMTAC Shooting has been posting some photos of an interesting knife and sheath combination. When asked about it, Bill pointed me to his new website, AMTAC Blades to sign up for updates of the release which is on Thanksgiving Day. Here is what little we know about the blade, courtesy of his website. […]
Gerber Flatiron: The good and bad with this chopper
Gerber is a great company that offers a lot of quality knives at an affordable price. The Gerber Flatiron confuses me a bit though. If you carry a cleaver as your only blade, you’re missing out on a lot of functionality compared to a blade with a point. If you carry one as a secondary […]

The Spyderco Karahawk: A rapid deployment karambit for self-defense and everyday carry
There isn’t a more recognizable knife design than the karambit, a curved and often fixed-blade knife whose origins come from Southeast Asia. While it may have originally been used primarily as a work knife, it has evolved to become an unmistakable fighting knife, especially in Western countries. Its design is said to have been inspired […]
Spyderco Tenacious: A Spyderco that is both affordable and still gets the job done
I have nothing but high praise for Spyderco knives. My first knife was a Spyderco and my collection has only grown since then. The latest addition to my collection is the Spyderco Tenacious. The Tenacious has a similar look and feel compared to the Spyderco Manix 2, which is one of my favorite knives, but there […]
Direct Action Messenger Bag: A versatile messenger bag for any lifestyle
I am definitely not one to carry a “tactical” bag. Whenever I see someone with anything screaming military it makes me cringe. So when I got this bag, I went into it with hesitation but quickly became friends with it. I have not used a messenger bag since elementary school, however, its efficiency and versatility […]
Recylced Firefighter Small Truckie Pouch
We recently took a quick look at the small Truckie Pouch from Recylced Firefighter. After I had published the quick look I put my order in to get one to play around with. My initial thought was to use it as a minimalist toiletry bag (which I may still do), but I immediately saw it’s use for a […]
