Professional Gear Reviews
When I came home from work today there was a box on my front porch and guess what was in it. Yes, the Protech Shift 360 plate carrier and the accompanying rifle plates. I put the box on the table, cut it open, and there it was. Immediately my ceiling opened up and Mad Dog […]
My short range gear is my favorite. I use it during VBSS and short-medium range ops. Why is it my favorite? It’s light and fast! I’m going to skip on the Comms/batteries and all that and just move straight into what gear I run starting from the ground up. Under Armour is my choice of […]

Massif is a continuous industry leader in the field of FR clothing for soldiers, independent contractors, LE, and wildland firefighters. The evolution of the combat shirt has been […]
I recently came across the above picture which is reputed to be a CIA Ground Branch contractor’s kit that he takes out on operations. On first glance, the picture is probably a few years old considering some of the kit, but it looks pretty legit. The desert tiger stripe uniform is one of the first giveaways which would […]
Last week a buddy of mine showed me a video of this thermal breaching option called the Breachpen. Breachpen was founded by an Air Force PJ with the basic idea of a disposable and lightweight thermal breaching option when mechanical, ballistic and explosive breaching are not ideal or may not be needed.
