Professional Gear Reviews
Ohio based Gadsden Dynamics has been producing tactical gear under the philosophy: there is a niche for a lower profile, simplified kit. Using 100% Berry compliant materials (made in the USA), Gadsden Dynamics has engineered some solid gear while firmly adhering to the K.I.S.S principle. Count me unsurprised when Andy (the owner) wanted to send […]
When I first started looking for a plate carrier I was overwhelmed with all of the options there are on the current market. There are so many companies making plate carries these days with various options and features. I would mainly be using my plate carrier for working out and range training. When I first […]
MountainSmith has been making some of the best outdoor gear for quite some time. I’m no stranger to their tents and have used them on numerous occasions. What excited me is when I was asked to review their Borealis camera bag. I’ve been doing photography for years and have never really settled on just one […]
As avid of a knife fan as I am, I still feel like I need to justify the purpose and intent of each one I own. Fixed blade knives have a wide range of uses. From skinning a deer, filleting a fish or self-defense; these primitive weapons still find a special place in our heart, […]
The unvalued indifference that individuals used to cast a negative opinion upon prepared persons is slowly evolving into an understanding that we are encapsulated in an ever more turbulent society. Bad shit happens, It is a part of life; be prepared. Enter the T3 Active Shooter Kit. This vehicle or home-based body armor solution is […]
The Spyderco Bradley 2 and have been going round and round for a few weeks now. When I did my first look I said it was a working man’s knife disguised as a gentleman’s knife. I meant it then, but as I’ve used and abused the knife I’ve learned there is nothing gentle about it. […]
I Don’t know a whole lot about knives, but I do know that they are an essential piece of equipment for any first responder, military member, or anyone who likes to be prepared. Gerber Gear is one of the leading manufactures of knives and their Decree knife is a great option for anyone looking for […]
During my Emerson La Griffe review I was pleasantly surprised. In my experience, folding knives are small and made for the pocket. Fixed blade knives are large and hang off the belt. The Emerson La Griffe defies both expectations. It’s a fixed blade knife that goes on the belt but is small enough to pocket. In the […]
I had been following Maury Abreu – founder and Chief Instructor of Omega Protective Concepts for awhile hoping to train combatives with him as he is a fellow New Jersey guy. Maury is a former Marine, Federal Corrections Officer, and contractor for the government. Last year Maury announced that he was offering his own combat […]
Readers may recognize the Bullfrog line by Kicker from a previous review I published on the BF200. I was so impressed with the sound and durability of this portable speaker that I wanted to try the smaller version for travel purposes. Measuring only 9 x 3.3 x 3.3″ and tipping the scales at 1.8 pounds, […]
