Professional Gear Reviews
A good pair of boots are an absolute must have for any soldier and Salomon Quest 4D are a great pair of boots. The design of the boots is based on a pair of Salomon running shoes, which is a good start as they feel very light on your feet. As a gear freak, I […]
Almost all my friends who are still serving in the Canadian Forces as snipers are using Eberlestock bags to carry their rifles around. I personally tried one during an operation in Afghanistan and I was pleasantly surprised on how comfortable it was. The Eberlestock G2 ‘’Gunslinger II’’ pack is one of the best pack a […]
When it comes to packs, Mystery Ranch is one of my top choice. Quite a few friends of mine are fielding Mystery Ranch packs and loves them. Whether it’s for military use, hiking or everyday carry, the Mystery Ranch packs will never let you down! The Spartan Assault pack is the smallest in his category. […]
Breathable gloves that are also totally waterproof? Yeah, I had to read it twice as well, but they do exist. The Sealskinz range are renowned for quality and reliability.

The PICO is a solid plate carrier that will withstand the harsh environments and abuses that operators will […]
The Snugpak Stratosphere bivvi shelter is a one-man bivvi but also has the features of a small one-man tent. It is extremely light, weighing only 1.13kgs, and very easy to erect – it took me under a minute to put it together. Once the shelter is together, it is quite spacious inside around the head […]
“A sleeping bag for tropical conditions that packs smaller than a coconut!”
BLACKHAWK! makes some bomber gear. I know when I buy something from Blackhawk it’s going to go the long haul and endure all types of abuse and weather. That’s why I chose the Blackhawk Predator as my preferred pack for all my hikes and field use. The loadout I’m going to discuss here is what […]
I have recently added the TacLace to my Lowa Z-8S Gtx boots and I love it! I remember in Afghanistan when I would spend some time-off wearing my flip-flops and we would get fired at in our Combat Outpost, I would immediately put my boots on so I could run and gun on the Hesco […]
