As part of your Every Day Carry (EDC) kit, you need a good light to keep the dark at bay, confuse an assailant, or find your way through over uneven terrain or dark alleys. I have been using the ASP Dual Fuel Guardian for a month now, it is small enough to keep in my […]
If you are looking for a versatile and tough everyday carry light, the Olight M18 Striker Flashlight has a load of features to keep you safe and illuminated.
Recent events have shown us that we need to be prepared at all times, for anything. From natural disasters to terrorist attacks, you need to be prepared before you find yourself in a SHTFÂ scenario. I have always carried a gun with me, but recently I decided that I wanted to complete the big three; gun, […]
Surefire has been developing a new handheld flashlight over the past several months and it just might be the finest handheld light for EDC and gun fighting. I’ve used the Surefire 6P in the past but stopped carrying due to the size. It just was not conducive to everyday carry in my opinion. I haven’t used/carried […]

5.11 Tactical TMT PenLight Immediately after Gary showed me this piece of my gear, I bought one and it has been with me since. Incredibly convenient to carry due to how thin it is and powered by AAA batteries, it is sure to spend a lot of time in anyones pocket. The features I particularly […]
We’ve done several articles on EDC flashlights covering different brands. My personal favorite is the Streamlight ProTac series of lights. For a few years I’ve been carrying either the ProTac 2L or the ProTac 1AA as my everyday carry light. One of the advantages of the 1AA was the fact that it is powered by […]
In certain situations, a good flashlight should be part of everyones EDC. Although I don’t always carry a flashlight on my person, when night falls or I’m in a theater, you better believe I have a good light handy. As with all EDC gear, personal taste and individual requirements will dictate what makes the grade […]
