The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
At SHOW Show this year I happened by the YETI Coolers booth. After some conversation about how I’m planning a move to Austin, where YETI (and TTAG) is HQ’d, and how I haven’t yet figured out if I’m too poor or just too cheap to buy YETI’s undeniably awesome-albeit-expensive wares, I was awarded a free YETI […]
Okay, if you want to find a great way to have fun and let your head explode, try flipping a tractor tire. Gyms all around the world are just recently finding out what power lifters, strong men, and many garage fitness aficionados have known for decades; flipping heavy tires is one of the best exercises […]
As a dog owner I try to take Loki (meet him here) on all my outdoor activities. Eventually I hope to use him as a bird dog (maybe even this year). However, for now I am just happy to give him as much exposure to as many outdoor activities as possible. Awhile ago I wrote […]

Recently I came across two pieces of technology I believe can change how we interact in the world. Both are geared towards communication, however they address different problems. First is SignAloud, created by some MIT students to allow people use use sign language to communicate audibly. Second is Pilot (smart earpiece), which could allow people […]
It was now day five for our Sniper/Recon team which consisted of myself (sniper), “P” as my spotter, and four reconnaissance rangers. We had been gathering intelligence and tracking a high value target behind enemy lines in southern Afghanistan for the past four days. With the intel we had gathered, we sent up our reports to an […]
The Sea Hunter is an unmanned surface vehicle (referred to as: Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel, or ACTUV) which was launched in April 2016. With the success of the UAV (drone) program it was an inevitability the United States Military would seek unmanned vehicles for other environments. Differing from UAVs, a ACTUV would be […]
