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. We are going beyond a basic first aid kit here, where band-aids and blister pads and are not enough to stop the […]
After successfully completing RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program later renamed RASP) I was assigned to 2nd Ranger Battalion (Cco-MadSlashers). When I arrived at Ft. Lewis it was basically empty. I was sent on a reach-back bird (planes that carry people into, and out of combat for various reasons) to meet my already deployed platoon. After a […]
Recognizing the artistic genius of legendary knife builders, Dmitry Sinkevich and Todd Rexford, Zero Tolerance saw no other choice than to commission a custom collaboration. And with that, the ZT 0850 was born. I’m not sure if this is a daily use knife or a collector’s item so bear with me. Priced at $400, this thing […]
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).

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 […]

Constructed with a laser-cut proprietary 1000D Cordura® laminate, this versatile belt pad is the perfect foundation for Wilder Tactical Pouches. The […]
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 […]
A couple months back I saw a post by former Recon Marine Rudy Reyes about a friend of his, a former Marine Scout Sniper, who was selling hoodies made of poncho liner material. Now anyone who has served in the Army or Marines knows that the poncho liner AKA Woobie (I’m old school and always […]
Crafted In Black PU Leather, Accented With Fire Red Straps Monday, April 16, 2018 — Db’s Nordic-inspired design has always been on the edge, a cool, different look and style. The all-new RED|efined collection revamps its classic designs with an edgy pop of color. Inspired by city lifestyles, the bold red strap allows the collection to stand out while […]
Fans of ESEE will remember we recently covered the Expat Cleaver. The Expat Cleaver was the first of many planned Expat knives designed by ESEE forum member and world traveler “Expat”. Like all Esee knives, the design comes from folks who are noted survival experts. At SHOT Show 2018 I had the chance to connect […]
