Professional Gear Reviews
As part of your Every Day Carry (EDC) kit, you need a good light to keep the dark at bay, confuse an assailant, or find your way through over uneven terrain or dark alleys. I have been using the ASP Dual Fuel Guardian for a month now, it is small enough to keep in my […]
So what was it like to fight in the 1990’s as a 0351 Assaultman? Well, if your good with over 150 pounds of gear, fighting in urban terrain with a 72 Kilometer stealthy walk into danger, then this is what it looks like. This a picture of Loadout Room writer Richard Moore and his good […]

Drinking water and remaining hydrated is essential for the human body to survive. I remember during Marine Corps boot camp drinking upwards of 12 canteens of water each day depending on the training evolution. We would take water breaks and have to drink a canteen until it was empty, then hold it upside down over […]
