I still remember my first time looking through a pair of night vision goggles. I was inside a darkened office within the walls for 5th Marine Recon aboard Camp Pendleton. A bit grainy and green, but night had turned into day and I was amazed. Since that time I’ve had the opportunity to use night […]
Caldwell has been providing simple and effective solutions for all sorts of shooter’s needs. From targets to rests, cleaning supplies to storage solutions. You’ve seen us use their Stinger Rest in rifle reviews. For us a challenge has always been to spot hits at longer ranges. Of course a $1,000 spotting scope on an expensive […]
Readers may recognize the Bullfrog line by Kicker from a previous review I published on the BF200. I was so impressed with the sound and durability of this portable speaker that I wanted to try the smaller version for travel purposes.

It has a camera, noise quality is very good, battery lasts, Micro-USB capable so no need […]
Recently I published a short article/video on my minimalist wire dopp kit. In that kit I did away with the traditional Apple iPhone cable and replaced it with the NOMAD Key iPhone cable. By doing so I have conserved space and reduced the clutter of a cable getting tangled on other items in my kit. […]
I am sure like me many of you have a ton of power banks (i.e., chargers) that you either purchased or got at a conference and those range from the simple “stick” type to the “block” type. Many of these charging hubs boast that they can hold a charge for a long time, but it […]
Photo courtesy of Tactical Life You may be aware of the King of 2 Miles competition. You may also be aware that Derek Rodgers hit the 2-mile target (see the video below) using a new ballistic computer: The Garmin Foretrex 701 Ballistic Edition. For many years, the Garmin Foretrex 401 has been a preferred piece of kit […]
It’s interesting how big a part music plays in our daily lives. Often times, a certain song will evoke a particular mood, or rekindle a specific memory. For me, songs can even taste a certain way.
