A survival knife is a tool and not a fashion statement but for any guys out there that have been in a survival situation or a school environment as in a training course, you’d know that. So it becomes a case of practicality over all else While I’m admittedly no expert on knives, I know […]
Gear Reviews
Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier | Best Budget Multi-Tool
People spend hundreds of dollars on multi-tools and that’s cool and all but I like quality gear that doesn’t break the bank – I have drinks to buy for girls, money to spend on my truck (She’s always breaking down), rent, and last but not least the “gun fund” as I call it! Let’s put […]
Danner Mountain Pass Boots
Danner has been a long time name in the industry with a very reputable background. I used Danner boots back in the early 90’s when I was going through the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in the Sierra Nevadas. They were more expensive than most, but the investment was well worth it and my […]
The Harry Potter Pantry: Being ready at a moments notice
3 – 2 – 1 STOP! Now load everyone you’re responsible for into your vehicle and start driving. See you in a week! Sounds like a militant drill carried out by those who actually thought they were preparing for a zombie apocalypse. However, once you fully understand that for which you are really preparing, the […]
Leatherman Super Tool 300, Quick Look
The award-winning Leatherman Super Tool 300 is the multi-tool for the working man. When you’re working with gloves on, the large side cutouts make it easy to grab components, and the rolled handles make for a comfortable grip.

Stop Preparing For Emergencies, Prepare for Adventure
You no longer need to prepare for emergencies: Flood, fire, hurricane, earthquake, terrorist attack, industrial accident. Whatever. Sure anyone of those things could thrust us into a “Bug Out” situation, but nobody is really worried. Sure we could be forced into the streets with our families alongside thousands of scared people shedding their humanity to […]
Why you should be carrying a medical kit
If you carry a firearm, you should be carrying a med kit or IFAK (individual first aid kit.) The two go hand in hand really, if you get shot in a gunfight it sure will be convenient to have a med kit on hand. It will also come in handy should anybody else who doesn’t […]
Cold Steel Jungle Machete
Machetes are a great tool to have in the arsenal. I’ll be honest in saying that during the majority of my time in the Ranger Regiment, machetes were not all that common. They were, however, used by some lead elements to break through brush when conducting jungle specific operations or movements through the densely vegetated […]
Zero Tolerance ZT0393 | When form meets function
Proudly built in Tualatin, Oregon, ZT Knives was founded in 2006 when they recognized a void in the market for an American made line of hard-use knives. A line of knives suitable for both military and law enforcement use. Since then, ZT has not only continued to over-engineer their offerings for first responders, but offer several daily […]
Altama Maritime Assault boots
I was in the market for a new pair of shoes when I spotted these browsing Instagram. I at first scrolled right past thinking they were another pair of black chucks, but upon closer inspection, these were a whole different animal. The Altama Maritime Assault boots come in two heights and I opted for the […]
