I never really had any use for carabiners prior to my service in the Marine Corps.

My first thought when I saw the new Battalion 12 backpack by Recycled Firefighter was a bolt bag. The narrow streamlined design is perfect for the application of a bolt bag or minimalist backpack. Check out the following video as they walk you through the materials and design of the new Battalion 12. Specifications (courtesy […]
The Mini Utility Pouch from Tactical Assault Gear is a great piece of kit. Being that it is a utility pouch, it can be used for a variety of uses and applications. I chose to use mine to house my survival kit items. Due to the smaller size of the mini utility pouch, you are […]

I’m a skier so I love the white stuff between December and March. But it’s now April and the snow just keeps coming. I suppose the silver lining is a few extra days […]
Common everyday carry items include a wallet, keys, light, pistol and spare magazine, folding or fixed blade knife, and a variety of other items depending on the situation and person. One item that is becoming more common is a handcuff key. Small enough to be hidden in a pocket, belt, or secret pouch, it could […]
Let me start by acknowledging the obvious question – why would you want or need a pair of handcuffs if you aren’t a law enforcement professional? For starters, it is good to have a pair to practice shimming and picking to increase your proficiency with them in case you are ever illegally held against your […]
