Professional Gear Reviews
Blue Force Gear has made a respectable name for themselves in the realm of tactical gear. Their Dapper system which employs velcro is quite popular and they began producing accessories for it, but took their time making the packs designed to use it. That seems to be time well spent as I look at the […]
New for Spring ’18, Diamond Brand is introducing a new fully customizable and American-crafted Belay Bag for the modern adventurer. Inspired by the brand’s original daypack launched in the ‘80s, the updated Belay Bag uses upcycled materials and features interchangeable straps and front pockets large enough to store a 32 oz. growler – perfect for a day […]
For the past couple of weeks I have had the Jedburgh pack out and about. I have attempted to test it as thoroughly as possible. I also researched the name, because it’s an odd one. Jedburgh has roots back to Scottish Guerillas, to Boers in South Africa, and to a clandestine World War 2 special […]
We were really excited about this one during Day 1 of SHOT Show. It’s official, the Jedburgh Tactical Backpack is getting a big brother. Meet the Tracer Pack. Like the Jedburgh, the Tracer Pack is named for an Allied deception operation during WWII. Designed to add additional capability in a “day pack” sized format, Tracer has features […]
As you know there are a ton of choices out there when shopping for new EDC bags or to upgrade an existing bags you may already own. We have the advantage of testing and evaluating a lot of these bags, so we have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn’t. I asked […]
The Hill People Gear Connor has been my day hiking pack since I reviewed it late last year. Reference my first impressions post for features and more pictures.

I recently received the Roll-Top Scout pack from Duluth Pack. This pack is a little different from most, but at the same time very versatile as a day pack. The biggest difference is the roll-top design; similar to how you seal a dry bag. With the unique roll-top design you are able to increase the […]
For an all around travel assault pack, the Vertx GAMUT PLUS assault pack has it. At first glance and trying on the pack, it reminded me of an MC-4 parachute rig used for HALO operations. It feels extremely comfortable and organizes the weight in a way that doesn’t feel awkward. Some immediate features that I noticed with […]
The Osprey Flap Jack Pack is designed to make life as convenient and comfortable as possible; an aim that it achieves admirably with its numerous storage options and exceptional levels of padding and adaptability. I like the pack due to it’s low profile and the ability to take it from the city streets to the […]
Over the years I’ve own several backpacks. From small day packs to combat specific rucks to alpine packs. I’m always wearing one on the field, while working or while having fun in the mountains. Back in 2010 I was looking for a durable, no frills, easy to carry ruck and I was getting frustrated with […]
