Professional Gear Reviews
When I was a kid, I almost always bought a cheap “switchblade” comb at the county fair every year. It seemed every detective movie I watched with my grandfather featured a switchblade at some point. I always thought automatic knives were super cool, and my grandfather carried a Buck pocket knife daily. So, I was […]
A journey that began in Northern Michigan (Part 1) just as snow started to blanket our home. Ended 850 miles away at Reeb Ranch among the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina. The next couple of days were spent in our Tepui rooftop tent while we navigated Overland Expo East. This annual culmination of displays, vehicles and people […]
The Magpul Logger Tech Shacket (Shirt + Jacket = Shacket) is a solid piece of kit for all but the worst winter weather. It’s thin enough to layer easily, warm enough to only need a few layers to keep you comfortable well down into the low 20*s, and the outer layer material keeps you dry […]
Gerber is a great company that offers a lot of quality knives at an affordable price. The Gerber Flatiron confuses me a bit though. If you carry a cleaver as your only blade, you’re missing out on a lot of functionality compared to a blade with a point. If you carry one as a secondary […]
With winter looming (there’s actually 12″ of snow on the ground as I write this) I make the transition between my every day carry firearms. In the warmer months, I carry a sub-compact Sig Sauer P365 with an inside the waist belt holster due to its deeper concealment under lighter clothing. As the temps drop and I […]
I recently reviewed a couple of products from Hard Korr lighting. A flexible LED strip that we use to light our Tepui roof top tent and awning. As well as the multi-purpose UNI Light. Both items are high-quality kit and have become a permanent fixture in our Overland set-up. We recently traveled 850 miles south […]
We’re approaching the colder Winter months, which means stepping up your game with vehicle maintenance and preparedness. I remember as a younger kid traveling across the United States from Ohio to Arizona and back. On our way back one year we were pulling a trailer full of household items from my grandmother’s house. Not long […]
Short Barreled Rifles or SBR’s are all the rage. A recent series of articles from Loadout Room writer Rex Nanorum dives into just how short you can go with barrel length. On the other end of the rifle is the buttstock. One of the three main interfaces with a shooter’s body. And CMMG has a […]
This months PRO Crate has an interesting mix of contents. I can usually figure out where the Crate Club Gurus were going with each crate but not this one. It includes an eclectic mix of treasures. From a portable fishing/hunting tool that will impress the most discriminating survivalists. To a very small and lightweight item […]
It’s that time of the month again! Crate Club unboxing and reviews. Due to relocating the Crate Club warehouse from the East Coast to Ohio, the September and October crates were combined and shipped together in October. So the agonizingly long wait is over. It wasn’t really that bad. Arriving on my doorstep was the […]
