Professional Gear Reviews
If you haven’t figured it out already I have a thing for edged weapons. I’ve done quite a few reviews on knives, both fixed blade and folding. I’ve also discussed the importance of maintaining your knives at home and in the field. I guess one of the things that really draws me to knives and […]

Knives are excellent backup weapons if you’re carrying a pistol. They also make good primary weapons for an everyday carry if you are unable to carry a pistol. Often when traveling abroad, I have found it exponentially easier to obtain a good knife than a reliable (or affordable) pistol. They are usually cheaper and easier […]
I gained interest in rock climbing and mountaineering in the Marine Corps, starting with a very miserable trip to the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, CA. After my first deployment i was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to go to a well known school called Assault Climbers Course. This is a school that […]
Tactical Rifleman had a request from a viewer that we cover how to setup your Body Armor. Ask and you shall Receive. In this video I cover just the basics, because that is all you really need. Keep your kit simple, carrying only what you need. When you look at my kit in the video, […]
I went into this product review not knowing a whole lot about Bogs boots. But I’m glad they offered to let me test their footwear, because now I’m hooked. With fall in full swing and winter closing in, Northern Michigan becomes the perfect location for the Johnny Chukka II’s. The months of October and November […]
If you don’t wear a suit to work, odds are you wear a pair of boots. Working as a CBP Officer I have some basic requirements when it comes to my foot wear. Despite on my work location (which will change the type of uniform I need to wear), there are some pretty standard footwear […]
Everyone loves a good multi-tool and Gerber is one of the most well-known and respected companies producing them. One of the challenges for a company like that is to keep innovating and improving their product lines. The new Suspension NXT offers an increase in the number of tools from the original – 15 total – […]
Best known for their bombproof Tundra coolers and soft-sided Hopppers, Yeti is continuing to innovate outside their box. The Yeti Camino 35 is one such product. Like all of the products that roll off the production line, the Camino 35 is yet another over-engineered and well thought out item. Made from the same “Thickskin” material […]
I’ve previously covered the importance of FR (flame resistant) clothing in hazardous environments. The protection provided is paramount, and to date has saved countless lives on the battlefield. Massif is a continuous industry leader in the field of FR clothing for soldiers, independent contractors, LE, and wildland firefighters. The evolution of the combat shirt has been […]
