Professional Gear Reviews
If you’re the kind of rider who doesn’t ask for directions and thinks a “weekend trip” involves crossing a state line or two, Viking Motorcycle Bags should be on your shortlist. These guys don’t mess around with dainty saddlebags or fashion-first gear. They build storage solutions for riders who treat weather forecasts like a suggestion […]
Twas the night before Christmas and all thru SOFREP, all us mice were scurrying, we had missions to prep. For tis Christmas you see, a grand holiday, and we have friends and family everywhere, even some a world away. So now there are presents to wrap, veggies to chop, ham and turkeys to season, and […]
On a nice sunny day, I decided to take Loki (my Wirehair Pointing Griffon) for a trip to the beach. The family and I decided on the Sequalitchew (try to say it out loud) Creek Trail. The trailhead starts at the Depont city hall (WA) and descends towards the ocean for about 1.5 miles (3-mile […]
Back in May around Memorial Day, we listed some of our favorite War Films that are guaranteed to entertain and keep your interest. We could have easily added a couple of more as the genre always has some worthy additions by Hollywood’s filmmakers. This year’s blockbuster “Dunkirk” could easily make its way into that list.

I love reading about Special Operations history. It’s amazing what information can be found in published sources if you’re prepared to dig around.

The Loadout Room has done reviews on the Tundra, Hopper 20, Hopper Flip 12, Ramblers and even […]
As a newly single man, I’ve been continually surprised by the fact women are incredibly impressed by my ability to cook. I thought it was an old joke, something from a cheesy rom-com, but the truth remains I’ve found the ability to cook directly relates to your attractiveness level. When cooking for a young lady […]
I am pleased to announce that the Department of Defense has finished their review of my second novel, True Believer, slated for release on July 30th, 2019. It is now “cleared as amended” which means the DoD Office of Prepublication and Security Review redacted certain sentences and paragraphs for security reasons. For True Believer, the DoD redacted […]
A few years back I found myself at a challenging point in my life, I have lost my drive, focus, and direction. The reason doesn’t really matter but what did was that I wasn’t getting things done that needed to be done, relationships, my professional goals, personal goals, fitness, and overall health. I was in […]
Reviewing coffee seemed like an interesting concept. Its something I’ve never done before but I sure do enjoy drinking coffee. Who doesn’t start their day with heart racing levels of caffeine? I know I can’t. Battle Grounds Coffee Company was kind enough to send me three different blends in bean form. I never tried grinding my […]
