Gear
Grey Ghost Gear range bag | Deployment ready
Grey Ghost Gear (GGG) is one part of the strategic triumvirate that also features Grey Ghost Precision (GGP) and Tactical Tailor. While GGP deals in lead-slinging hardware and Tactical Tailor knocks out mind-boggling amounts of gear tailor-made for warfighters, GGG has a somewhat smaller scope. To me, the result of this focus is GGG having an […]
An active duty Army Ranger reviews the LBT 6094 Modular Plate Carrier
“Its hands down the greatest plate carrier ever conceived!” – (a very salty senior Ranger NCO) It is perhaps the most renowned plate carrier in existence. It is simple, durable and well thought out. So much in fact, that many of the Rangers I have worked with (including myself), have purchased one out-of-pocket. I am […]

Today I’m writing about my experiences testing out their Everyday Pack in Multicam Arid. Weighing […]

I can see the Admin Panel 1 being a valuable piece of gear for those that frequently travel. When staying in a hotel you need to be prepared to grab what you can and leave in the event of an emergency. Often times that equates to whatever you have in your pockets. At the end […]
Triple Aught Design Spectre 22 L Backpack
When Triple Aught Design (TAD) comes out with new equipment or apparel, I know that I just have to get it and run it through some testing. The TAD Spectre line takes the “grey man” gear needs and balances the lines between tactical necessities and provides a civilian appearance. The Spectre systems adapt to the […]

In an effort to provide our readers with disaster preparedness information as well as recommended gear for go bags and survival kits, it’s sometimes hard for people to justify having a dedicated go bag. 99% of those that commute for work and school already carry some type of bag or backpack.
