Professional Gear Reviews
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 […]
Winter is here and with it a varying degree of weather depending on where you live. For the average outdoor enthusiast, it might mean that their local hiking trails are closed or limited due to snow and other winter conditions. Barring any local agency restrictions, having a little adverse weather doesn’t mean you can’t continue […]
Whether spending time at the range or on an actual bow or gun hunt, I tried for as long as I could to use my smartphone to record video footage. Even though using a smartphone was awkward and often not very practical, I couldn’t justify paying for a GoPro along with the required mounts. When […]
There seems to be some misunderstanding of the term “low-vis,” within the tactical community. Plenty of packs advertise themselves as low-vis, yet are camo’ed out or covered in Velcro. A guy walking around with tactical pants, a Suunto watch and a Velcro-covered backpack stick out like a sore thumb anywhere in the world. You literally […]
Awhile back I was flipping through Facebook like a zombie when I came across a post for an interesting looking product. It was the Rogue Stash Tag from Rogue Dynamics. Rogue Dynamics is a Veteran owned company that sells everything from T-shirts and patches to tactical and urban escape and evasion gear. Always interested in […]
I have to admit, my collection of knives has easily doubled in the past year. I never really carried a knife on my person when I was out and about, but that changed after I got my hands on an excellent Kershaw product. I wrote about the Kershaw Link not too long ago and I […]
One of my favorite movies from years back is HEAT. I think what intrigued me the most about the the movie was the professional appearance of the bank robbers. Yes they openly carried AR style rifles into the banks, but under their business suits were low-vis rigs that retained several 30 round magazines. Nowadays that […]
As I write this Winter is barely in the history books and Spring is charging in full-steam. Camping season has begun and it’s time to gear up! UCO (Utility, Comfort, Originality) has been creating innovative camping and survival gear near Seattle, WA since 1971. Lately I’ve been taking a look at UCO’s Original Candle Lantern […]
