The Loadout Room

You call that a knife? This is a…alright, we got that inevitable reference out of the way. Honestly though, some knives are just knives, and some feel like an extension of your own will. The Toor Serpent is a sleek, no-BS, get-work-done blade that’s been living on my kit for three years, and I’ve put […]
SHOT Show is always about new items, updated new models and new ways of doing old jobs. This year was no different and while I took the time to see all the new, there were some old favorites that I got to see and hope to show them here in the future. First and foremost, […]
Normally we have one good cold spell here in NW Florida each winter, 5 maybe 6 days where the nights are below freezing and the days are maybe 40deg. They already enjoyed a beautiful white winter in January this year (complete with 9 inches of snow) while I was attending SHOT Show in Las Vegas. […]
Another great article from Sean Northrop. MOVIE SLOGANS! Most of Us can remember walking into our local Movie Rental Store, and seeing them everywhere. The posters, the cardboard cutouts, but almost always on the front of each Movie case. Love them, or hate them, they all ultimately served one purpose, to convey a message. Usually […]

I have a confession to make. I’m a bit of a watch nerd. Can’t get enough of ’em. Don’t tell my wife, but my current collection is hovering somewhere in the 30-something range. When you are in the military, an accurate timepiece is an absolute necessity. It’s a piece of kit—a tool. Heck, you can […]
A Smoking Relief: Why Cigars Are a Veteran’s Best Relaxation Tool I am not here to explain why cigars are either good or bad for your health. I am here to share with you about an experience that you and I had at least once during our military careers. Before I joined the military, […]
Recently I was given the opportunity to try out the Bluetti Handsfree 2 Backpack Power Station for The Loadout Room. I’ve used just about every kind of backpack there is over just about every kind of terrain. Before it arrived, I wondered how it could possibly be any different or better than what I’d already […]
How’s it going everyone? I’m back again to talk about some more land nav. Today I want to get into the use of attack points, route selection, and terrain association. These skills are the backbone of effectively navigating on the ground. I do not want to go into making this an entirely formal class, so […]
