Man caves. Cigar shed, gun room, home FOB, hideout. While they go by many names, the intent of all is the same: a space to relax in that provides an environment dripping with testosterone. A spot to showcase (and store) your guns, gear, hobbies, cigars or golf clubs. A big screen with surround sound ready […]

ASP Scribe DF: A Dual Fuel Every Day Carry Light
ASP’s original Scribe AAA light has become a mainstay tool in the company’s international tactical training programs, thanks to its combination of high performance and pocketable form factor. The new DF variant of the Scribe pushes the output even further—to 350 lumens—while adding the benefit of Dual Fuel technology. It ships with a 10900 lithium-ion […]
Marines test rig that turns any helicopter into a resupply drone
The introduction of drones has, in many ways, changed the face of warfare. Between long duration loitering, reconnaissance and even direct fire support, drones have already proven their value on the battlefield.

The Cinturon Belt from Bravo Concealment
A belt is an important tool in the concealed carriers arsenal. It supports the weapon, gives the holster something to attach to, and of course holds your pants up. Most concealed carriers with a little experience have the salt to invest in a quality belt, specifically a gun belt. Bravo Concealment is well known for […]
The tactical pen phenomenon and why I prefer the Crate Club Tactical Pen
I have carried a pen every day (EDC) for many years. It was a small Space Pen for a good long time but the clip slides off and I lost at least 2 of them. Then just a simple hard plastic Bic pen that I put a strip of ACU duct tape around (just for […]
Thai soldiers demonstrate how to subdue a cobra barehanded in jungle survival course

Survival in any form for any environment is an act of prevention and or recovery, best enacted by preparation. A particular set of tools must be removed from a SERE loadout kit to […]
NFW Operation Enduring Warrior AutoPilot: A watch with a story
The Operation Enduring Warrior watch by NFW is by far one of my favorite timepieces to wear. It’s not because of any fancy movements or materials used. The reason is the story behind it and what the watch symbolizes to me. To me, the term ‘Enduring Warrior’ signifies someone enduring the effects of combat and/or the […]
