The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
Last week I had the opportunity to visit with Dave Rhoden at 511 Tactical Gear. He sat me down in their conference room, pulled out a pen and with a look of intensity asked, “What do you need?”. I went on to tell him about how relevant the tactics, principles, and gear were to professionals […]
In one way or the other we all either want, or think we need, super strength – Â hearing, vision and intelligence. For the most part weâve all conceded that any significant human enhancement is only accomplished in the movies. But, for the select few who understand how to master and leverage technology, human enhancement isnât […]
I’ve tried several “Nato copy cat” type watch bands, some that look better and appear stronger but have been largely disappointed. I was using one of these copy cat bands while surfing, and it kept coming unraveled in the water. Â This is not a comfortable feeling when wearing my twelve-year old Rolex Sub that’s been […]

Here’s a great explanation of the evolution of batteries by Ron at Surefire…..1500 Lumens on two batteries? Not so far fetched if you ask us and talk about a blinder..shit! Let me know what you guys think. Brandon %EMBED9%
