I recently reviewed a product from a company that is designed for quick access to ammunition for the armed professional. The Tac-Tote Magazine Carrier is a phenomenal piece of equipment for anyone working in law enforcement, security, or the military. The Tac-Tote STO is the big brother to the magazine carrier. It takes everything that […]

RSDL: Wipes for Neutralizing Chemical Warfare Agents
In an increasingly asymmetric battlefield where the fight is often brought close to home, or deep inside “green zones” one should be prepared. Chemical warfare agents have been used as recently as in the Syrian Civil war. The terrible thing that many people don’t realize about chemical warfare agents is that depending on the agent, they don’t […]
Marine Corps Jungle Warfare Gear
The Marine Corps Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa Japan had to be one of my favorite deployments. Learning how to operate and survive in a jungle environment is vastly different than a desert or woodland environment. There are also threats native to the jungle that you must be aware of. I remember attending a […]
Ronin Tactics Warrior’s Belt
Before I do a review on a new piece of gear or order something new for that matter, I always try to do a pretty good amount of research. In the case of the Ronin Tactics Warrior’s Belt, there isn’t much available so I’m here to remedy that. Ronin Tactics is following the current trend of the […]
Special Operations Member Gear Layout for a 24 hour Operation
A few things in this photo that I quickly noticed were the snacks (Pop Tarts & Stinger bars), stripped MRE and baby wipes. You can tell, just from those three items, that this dude has done this a few times. It’s little things like that, that come from real-world experience. Other than the obvious, some […]

TAG (Tactical Assault Gear) Combat Sustainment Pack
Having a simple pack outfitted for bad situations is a good idea. For simple day packs you don’t want an overly large pack, however, you do not want a pack so small that it precludes you from carrying the items necessary to your survival. In my time in the military, I’ve used a lot of different pack […]
A Private Military Contractor’s Short Range Loadout
Things change and so does your gear. With the way the defense industry is nowadays somebody or someone always has something better. For instance, I have dropped a lot of gear out of my kit and added a few pieces of gear. This is what happens over time as we adapt in the dark world […]

The First Spear MultiMag Rapid-Adjust™ Pocket makes life easier and reduces hassle by incorporating a revolutionary design featuring the […]
Photo of the Day: Tools of the Trade
Sharp things are fun. Let’s face it, nothing is more badass than taking a sexy knife or tomahawk into a gunfight, even though that’s rule number one. I’ll be honest with you, Helle knives are now my favorite. I have tried to dull this thing out with continuous use and I just can’t get that […]
