Professional Gear Reviews
No longer is it cool to be rocking the khaki cargo pants and a tactical backpack. Especially if you’re just running to the store to pick up baby formula. We all understand the function of tactical clothing and packs and they do have a place. At work if you’re a cop, or on the range […]
Since my early days in the military, I have worn silkies (also known as Ranger panties) as underwear on a daily basis because of what they offer and prevent. They prevent chafing and they are supportive without being restrictive. There was never another pair of underwear that did that without some level of discomfort due […]
When I started out this whole EDC thing I watched an endless amount of YouTube videos and read a lot of articles attempting to wrap my arms around what gear to get and why. In order to determine what gear I needed, that required me to purchase several knives, lights and other items over a […]
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen the name Jedburgh associated with tactical gear, but it’s one of my favorite references. The Jedburgh teams were Special Ops before Special Ops really existed. These guys worked with the OSS and Resistance forces around WW2 to kill Nazis at the cyclic rate. They operated behind enemy lines, […]
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, […]
There’s only one way to know if a pair of tactical pants are worth owning. Put them on and then go beat the crap out of them. So when Blauer sent me a pair of their B.DU Tactical Pants that’s exactly what I did. Cave Sliding Pants Testing Of course, the pants meet all of […]
I’m glad to see the world of tactical pants evolving past uniform style cargo pants. Cargo pants are great, but sometimes you just wanna toss on a pair of jeans and go. The Condor Cipher jeans are promising to change the way you see jeans. The Condor Cipher jeans look like dark blue jeans but they […]
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 […]
This month’s theme we will be covering pants and the importance of choosing the right pair for your needs. What do you do when you travel to another country, to the local mall, or to work and want to maintain that physical agility you get with your tactical pants, keep your Level 0.5 (pocket) or […]
