Emerson Knives have long been a collector’s piece and useful workhorse of many knife aficionados, military, LEO, and hard workers everywhere.

After destroying […]

Winterial 11-Piece Camping Cookware Set: Cooking comfortably outdoors
It is officially spring which means the hiking and camping season is here. Gear for either activity can get pretty expensive if you’re just starting out, not to mention that there is a myriad of options to choose from. Fittingly, I received the Winterial 11-Piece Camping Cookware Set to review for our readers. After having […]
Prioritizing Sheepdog Tendencies | Medical Management
I took a poll a few weeks ago to which several hundred people replied. In the survey I inquired as to how many of my friends own firearms, the reason for owning them, and how much they spend annually on ammo, new weapons and accessories. The majority of my friends are former/current military, outdoor enthusiasts […]
Dark Angel Medical Gen 3 Trauma Kit | Full Review
After an in-depth run through of the Dark Angel Medical Gen 3 Trauma Kit, I have concluded that any kind of medical trauma kit is a must-have for anyone serious about tactical training.

Emerson Knives Mini CQC-15
Throughout the history of mankind, a sharp knife has been a necessary survival tool. Since the earliest man sharpened a fragment of rock into a crude blade, the knife has been arguably man’s greatest invention (aside from capturing fire, or maybe soap). So when the time came for me to select a knife I would […]
Diamond Brand Gear Belay Bag: For those who prioritize comfort and durability
My wife sent me a text regarding a package that was delivered to our house. “You got a really nice backpack from your editor”, she said. It was strange to me because she hardly ever cares enough to comment about the gear I receive for reviews. It made me think there must be something special […]

If you need quality kit and are actually going to use and abuse it, Trident Tactical should be on your radar. SEAL founded and maintained, their gear is pretty intuitive, and fills a lot of gaps without re-inventing the wheel. Their attention to detail on the little things goes to show that they listen to […]
