The Orion Road Flare. Growing up my dad always had a pack of road flares in the back of the van. Seldom were they used unless we were on the side of the road broken down or stopping to help someone else who was broken down. That’s all I ever really thought they were good […]
Whether out hunting small game or at your local trap range having a good game belt is always an important piece of gear for your shooting day. A long day in the field with a full belt around your waste will bring up two important questions, how comfortable was it and will I wear it […]
If it moves it can break! That is a basic principle of engineering. Moving parts are vulnerable to forces applied to any of the non-fixed parts. Folding knives have a hinge; they are made of several parts: the blade, the handle, the locking mechanism and probably some type of release switch and/or lock. A fixed […]
The Emerson Super Karambit is one hell of a weapon. This blade design is vastly different from your everyday carry blade. Although you can use the karambit for some utility tasks, it’s not meant to be. It’s true calling is as a defensive edged weapon. Due to the ring on the end of the handle, […]
One of the most popular headlamps on the market for some time has been the Princeton Tec Sync LED Headlamp. There are plenty of sources praising the Sync’s versatility and simplicity, which also comes wearing an inexpensive price tag. I have seen multiple people using the Sync in both field training as well as on the […]
This cool accessory for your Swiss Army Knife came across my Facebook feed and caught my eye. The Swiss Army Knife has been for a long time, a companion for many prepared people.

They are telling us the Spine is “for the weekend warrior camper or hiker” and I commend them for that honest approach. After all, […]
We evolved our line to include all the attributes that were needed from all the different sub-sectors or law enforcement and military. If you look at law enforcement, if you’re a SWAT operator, that’s a very different requirement from a patrol officer or a canine operator. In the military, you may have an officer and […]
Given the numerous natural disasters and large-scale riots protests across the country, it’s as good a time as any to cover (or discover) what considerations should go into building a “Go-Bag”. First, let’s differentiate between a Go-Bag and a Bug-Out-Bag (B.O.B). A Go-Bag is synonymous with a Get-Home-Bag. This is a small to medium pack containing just […]
We’ve been able to get our hands on one of the best pre-made emergency preparedness kits on the market. Instead of doing one long review of the bag and all the contents, I figured it best to include the following short video from Uncharted Supply Co. to give an overview of the capabilities of this pack.
