Carrying concealed can be impractical or uncomfortable. Perhaps you are happy with your appendix carry holster when you are standing up, however, when you have to sit for a few hours it will drive you crazy. Concealing a sidearm is not always an option; some of us have jobs that don’t allow it or perhaps […]
I’ve recently been diving into body armor. I did a post on concealed soft armor and wanted to do the same for concealed hard armor. Soft armor is designed specifically to defeat most handgun threats. It doesn’t do anything to protect you from rifle rounds. For protection against rifle projectiles you need hard armor and […]
When it comes to choosing the stuff you keep strapped to you on a daily basis, there are a number of things you need to take into account: the environments you’re normally in, the laws in your particular state and county, weight, mobility, and perhaps most important of all – comfort. It may sound awfully soft of […]
Gerber was without a doubt the most popular multi-tool brand while I was in the military. Chances were if I saw a Gerber, it was probably one of their Multi-Plier 600 models. I’m sure one reason was that the shelves of every AAFES store on the installation were littered with Gerber products, but they also […]

Wether I’m backpacking, kayak camping or truck camping, my first order of business in the morning is making coffee. I have a Black Rifle Coffee t-shirt that reads, “But first, coffee”. And that about sums up my priorities in the morning. At home, my options are easy, Keurig or Espresso Machine. In the woods or […]
Blue Force Gear showcases its latest evolution in its PLATEminus Plate Carriers line with the all-new KLAUX Plate Carrier. The KLAUX sets itself apart from other armor carrier systems currently available by using a patent-pending quick attach buckle. This distinct emergency-release system is built directly into the front attachment points of the vest. This allows […]
A lesser known tool for maintaining your knives and hatchets is the Sanding Sponge. I’ve seen less than a handful of ‘survival experts’ use these as part of their maintenance routines. It may not be for everyone, but it’s just another option you can have in your maintenance kit. I picked up mine at the […]
