Blade Brothers Knives: Forged in war
Blade Brothers Knives is a small veteran-owned business in Ukraine that specializes in high quality knives designed for various combat applications. While they have a very wide selection to choose from, each with its own purpose, I will focus on the three that I chose to acquire. BB Knives was born from the war between […]
T3 Tactical Fanny Pack: Multi-purpose waist pack
When I was growing up the fanny pack was possibly the worst fashion accessory ever only worn by ironic hipsters and my friend’s dad Steve who had an incredible collection of high white socks commonly worn with a fanny pack and sandals on vacation. Then I joined the Marines and noticed members of our STA […]
ESEE-4 Fixed Blade Knife Review: More Than Just a Knife
I’ve had the ESEE 4 for a few weeks now, and it’s been a near constant companion on my adventures. It’s too large for everyday carry, but perfect for every adventure carry. I’ve taken fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and exposed it to salt water, and barely cleaned it and not a touch of […]
PDW and Gareth Bull: Custom Miura framelock
When the topic of pocket knives comes up, there is a polarizing difference in how much a man is willing to pay for the small piece of steel that’s about to occupy his pocket. I’ve talked to people that only want to pay a hundred dollars or so, and I’ve seen knives go for three […]

Prospective firearms writers received an email promising a free Phone Skope with their name on it if they filled out an RSVP form. I filled mine out because I like free stuff, even though I don’t digiscope often. […]

Terrex Climaheat Agravic Micro Down Jacket | by adidas
There are certain things I look for in a down insulation layer. Lightweight, warmth and compressibility. The new Terrex Climaheat Agravic Micro Down Jacket has these attributes in spades. I wear the size large and this jacket only weighs 272g or 9.6oz, pack into an integrated pocket and is warmer than some thicker jackets. I’ve had […]
Adventures Along the Yellowstone River With the Last Cowboys
Perhaps I am at an age where reminiscing on the past, romanticizing my youth inspires me to write, to preserve the memory of a bygone era I witnessed setting as a western sun the last light passing below the horizon during my days. Coming of age in Montana, I walked a path that differed from […]
