Recon Jet Pilots – HUD

Whether it’s time to create a “Superhuman” category here in The Load Out Room, or we chose to just pay close attention, technology like this can’t be ignored. Thanks to a massive market of technology hungry, action sports, early adopters companies remain able to lean way forward and deliver “scifi-esque ” solutions at low costs. The […]

Write On Anything

In my previous post “Message In A Nalgene Bottle”, I showed some screen shots of annotated pictures and maps as well as the digital handwritten notes that would be used to direct generations of Davises around the world seeking treasure, wisdom and a hell of a lot of fun. The application that I used to do this, […]

Their Reign of Terror Is Over!

Too many times I’ve had what was going to be a nice meal ruined by 2 or 3 flies that just wouldn’t go away. Traditional flyswatters aren’t always effective when dealing with crafty flies that only land on your food. Never again will any of us have to sit through a BBQ anxiously waving our […]

Super Human?

In one way or the other we all either want, or think we need, super strength – hearing, vision and intelligence. For the most part we’ve all conceded that any significant human enhancement is only accomplished in the movies. But, for the select few who understand how to master and leverage technology, human enhancement isn’t […]

Micro Power: Solar Powered Cameras Coming To a Base Near You

I had a chance to sit down, and have lunch with a good friend of mine Aaron Tankersley in San Diego last month to catch up. Aaron is the CEO of Micro Power (see below), and their company is doing some great things when it comes to adding capabilities to wireless surveillance cameras. I know […]

Useable Waterproof iPhone Case: Yes It Does Exist

My friend and former SEAL teammate, Eric, turned me onto to the LIFEPROOF iPhone case. Eric said, “this case lets me take my iPhone surfing with the kids”, and I just shot him a sideways look and said, “Seriously?”. He ended up offering up his phone to me poolside (at his house) but, like most […]

Gear Snapshot & Comments From Combat Tactics Magazine

I’m always searching the gun porn mags, Recoil is one of the only quality pubs on the market IMO. Most these magazines are obnoxious but provide good lessons at what not to do. Here’s my comments on the GEARHEAD segment of Combat Tactics Magazine (Have the Editors seen much combat? Not likely) Enjoy and feel […]

Military hunting smartphone safety to hold off enemy bugs, spooks

I’m looking forward to the day when soldiers can simply carry one smart phone instead of having a separate f**king PDA for every damned device. Right now we lug around a kit bag full of PDA’s for GPS, Bio-Metrics, Mortar Ballistics, Sniper Ballistics, and more. -Jack Ah, smartphones — the delightful little slates carry our […]

What REAL Men Wear

Paul was a mans man and would definitely agree with The LOADOUT ROOM when it comes style and our view on mens fashion. So what’s ok and what’s not? See below… No. Yes.

Fully Automated Sensor and Surveillance Nets in Afghanistan

I first became aware of this type of technology during my first deployment to Afghanistan. Some of the stuff that the technicians had in their inventory was truly impressive but what Wired is reporting simply takes this technology to the next level. Previously, sensors had to be manually installed (for the most part) and retrieved […]
