Blackhawk Predator Loadout
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 […]
The TacLace Reviewed
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 […]
The LOWA Z-8S GTX Reviewed
The LOWA Z-8S GTX was one of the many pair of boots I wanted to review. Thanks to them, I was able to review them today. Before going into details I have to admit that I have a thing for LOWA. I have been using the Elite Desert for a while now and they are […]
Mechanix M-Pact Coyote Tactical Gloves
When it comes to gloves, we have tons of possible avenues to take. In 14 years as a Canadian Light Infantryman I have tried countless different pairs of gloves. While some were from known companies, others were from local shops. When I picked up a pair of Mechanix M-Pact Coyote Tactile gloves I immediately liked […]
The SureFire HL1-A Helmet Light
I remember when I first joined the military and we were issued those Vietnam-era flashlights. They needed 3 “C” batteries and would only last for a few hours. Nowadays, many headlamps are available, but one of my favorite pieces of gear has always been the helmet light. When you have to quickly check your map, inspect […]
London Bridge Load Out Bag
Whats a Loadout Room without a proper loadout bag? A mess. Here is a piece of gear for all your cool pieces of gear. Of course we all love our kitbags, and why shouldn’t you. The thing has yet to fail me and it’s almost a bottomless pit of kit and clothing. But taking a […]
SHOT Show: NEW Luminox SEAL Watch
The: Approved for Naval Use (ANU) Watch I’m extremely glad that they chose to use a “Nato” strap on it that runs through both pins. I’m tired of losing watches in the surf zone.
Sneak peek into Russian SF, new gear
I recently came across an interesting video about current gear in the Russian FSB Spetsnaz. Hands down these guys always had the newest most advanced gear at their disposal. Times of the “I just need my AK and my sneakers” are gone. Instead we see that at least these guys don’t talk BS that tracked […]
Shot Show Episode 1 – How Blue Water modifies their gear for operators
Most of the time when we see gear: buckles, ropes, guns, knives whatever. We see it through our own eyes and limit it to our own vision. When we get a chance to look at gear through the eyes of the operator and the designer the possibilities become endless. Check out the quick Blue […]
