This is a pretty cool video done by the owner of NeoMag. When you live a preparedness lifestyle, having the right tools along with the skills to employ them is critical. Shown here is Graig Davis getting ready for the day with what he carries. The Crate of Wrath which is made in the USA […]
In the realm of daily carry (more commonly known as EDC), sometimes simple is better. Over the years I’ve learned to eliminate what I don’t need or use and carry only the necessities. If I know I’m going somewhere a little sketchy, then I may change things up and add a concealed fixed blade and […]
My father was a career Intelligence Officer in the US Army. My two brothers and I grew up pretending to be in the Army and conducted mock warfare in the woods wherever we were living at the time. Rummaging through his Government issue duffel bags and foot locker, we were able to grab enough gear […]
I am a retired Navy SEAL. This shapes the way that I think, react and interact with the world around me. This also means that I don’t look at the world in the same way that “normal” people do. I have seen my fair share of dick-dragging gunfights in combat zones of all types: pre-invasion, […]
The Gerber Cortex Compact light is an interesting option for a small EDC light. The first thing I noticed about this light, besides its size, is that it can run off either a CR123 or AA battery. A standard CR123 is 3 volts and a AA is 1.5 volts but there’s no loss of lumens […]
Since the dawn of time the ability to make a fire has been essential to the survival of mankind. We humans like to think that in 2018 a lighter isn’t very useful especially with the decline in smoking in general. Think I’m wrong ? ask around if anyone has a lighter and you will see […]
Flashlights are a common every-day-carry item, but honestly, they’re left at home in a lot of cases to make way for other items. Having a light in certain situations can be critical to one’s safety and convenience. With the introduction of SureFire’s Sidekick LED flashlight, there is no excuse to be without a light anymore. […]
Everyone needs a Sidekick! Three output levels at the push of a button with a max output of 300 lumens, just like the Titan Plus. All this capability from a polymer-bodied, rechargeable, FOB-shaped light. There’s nothing like it and its priced for everyone. A full in-depth review of this light will follow in the coming days. […]
I’ve carried a Streamlight flashlight for the better part of 4 years now as part of my everyday carry. For a long time, it was the popular ProTac 1AA that ran off a single AA battery and was the perfect size for carrying inside my pocket. I’ve also switched between the ProTac 2L and the […]
As part of your Every Day Carry (EDC) kit, you need a good light to keep the dark at bay, confuse an assailant, or find your way through over uneven terrain or dark alleys. I have been using the ASP Dual Fuel Guardian for a month now, it is small enough to keep in my […]
