The Urban Escape and Evasion Bag – Getaway Clean
I’ve been researching the idea of Escape and Evasion. There is a lot of information out there for traditional battlefield Escape and Evasion. Outside of military members that’s not super useful to us. With the realization that the majority of us live in an Urban Environment I wanted to specifically take a few looks at […]
Crate Club | Prisoner of War Hero
I walked to the road and turned myself in officially becoming War Criminal 53. My new home would be a concrete box a little smaller than a dog’s travel kennel. I would crap and piss in a small tin can, luckily there wouldn’t be much of that because I was about to be starved and […]
Dissecting the 100 Deadly Skills – Making a Diversionary Device
A Diversionary Device is always a handy tool to have. From flashbangs to flares a diversionary device commonly involves a flash and noise. They can be used for a variety of purposes, but each one typically served to buy you a few seconds of time and to make an enemy look left when you’re going […]

Leupold’s BK-1 Mckenzie binos: A lightweight option
When I say Leupold you likely instantly think of rifle scopes, likely magnified scopes. Leupold makes more than that though. They have a series of red dots, miniature red dots, monoculars, and binoculars. Their binoculars are what we are talking about today. Specifically the BK-1 McKenzie 10x42mm binos. BK-1 McKenzie Specs: Magnification – 10x Objective Lenses […]

The Hornady Rapid Safe -A Real Boombox
I own guns for several reasons, hunting, sport, and defense of my family and myself. If you asked me the most important reason I own a gun I’d clearly pick self-defense. As a father and husband, it’s my job to keep my family safe. I own a gun, I train with it, and I store […]
Blackhawk Sportster Pistol Range Bag – Make Life Easy
Range bags make life so much easier. If you’ve built a dedicated range bag you really don’t know the level of convenience you are missing out on. I remember the days where I was shoving guns in the Tupperware they came with and putting ammo, ear and eye pro into a grocery bag. Times have […]
