Tactical Tailor First Responder Bag: Like it or not, Fanny Packs are in
The concept of the fanny pack or waist pack is nothing new. There has remained a steady trend in the utilization of these types of packs within the SOPs of varying SOF units.

The majority of my friends are former/current military, outdoor enthusiasts […]
Diamond Brand Gear Belay Bag: For those who prioritize comfort and durability
My wife sent me a text regarding a package that was delivered to our house. “You got a really nice backpack from your editor”, she said. It was strange to me because she hardly ever cares enough to comment about the gear I receive for reviews. It made me think there must be something special […]
Blue Force Gear Jedburgh Pack: Comfort and Performance

T3 Tactical Fanny Pack: Multi-purpose waist pack
When I was growing up the fanny pack was possibly the worst fashion accessory ever only worn by ironic hipsters and my friend’s dad Steve who had an incredible collection of high white socks commonly worn with a fanny pack and sandals on vacation. Then I joined the Marines and noticed members of our STA […]

Prepping 101 | The Medical Bucket and M3 Medic Bag
This week, we will outline what I refer to as the “medical bucket,” for use in any bug-in scenarios, along with a folding medical bag known as the M3 Medic’s Bag. If you have seen any movie or television show set during the Vietnam War, then you have most likely seen the M3 Medic’s bag. […]
Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma Kit: Be Prepared for the Unexpected
The Micro Trauma Kit isn’t the newest product offered by Blue Force Gear but it’s new to me. This is a great kit that should be part of the basic equipment issued to police officers. The Micro Trauma Kit offers an advanced kit and a basic kit. Without the special training and skills, the advanced kit has items that wouldn’t be helpful to some.
