Edged Weapons. There is a ton of content on the internet regarding the use of edged weapons and the many different designs of edged weapons. So much so that those that are not as knowledgeable are taking what amateurs are saying as gospel. I’m not saying I’m an expert, but I have a few guys in […]
I ditched my oversized wallet years ago and have never looked back. At first, I faced the slight panic of letting go of the 2-inch stack of junk I had accumulated in my old wallet, but as time went on I realized I didn’t miss it as much as I thought I would. Slim wallets […]
It seems like I’m never done ‘dialing in’ my gear. I’m always looking for better-streamlined ways of setting up my gear so that I can access it quickly when needed. Most importantly my medical gear. When it comes to medical emergencies, seconds count when first responders are minutes away. That’s why we, the capable citizens, […]
Growing up, my Dad and I watched MacGyver every week to see what new things he would do with his Swiss Army Knife to get out of a bind. I also remember my Dad always having a Swiss Army Knife in his pocket regardless of what he was doing. My Dad preferred the Executive style of knife […]
My everyday carry has changed over time, and will most likely continue to change. I hope that by sharing this I can give an idea to people new to the concept on how they may want to set theirs up. I’m going to touch on each individual item and some of the benefits they have to being […]
Although this bag is not necessarily part of my ’emergency’ kit for roadside emergencies, it does stay in my vehicle next to the roadside assistance gear. Some may want to categorize this as a go-bag, which I guess it could fill that role. Part of my preparedness mindset is being ready to assist others when […]
I have a lot of bags, probably more than most people. Most of it is due to my job, but some have also been personal purchases. I’ve tested many bags over the years and have my favorites. One thing I have come to accept is that there is no one bag for everything, but I’ve […]
I’m one of those guys that are usually drawn to the heavy, overbuilt, tactical looking packs. When I got my hands on the Deuter XV3 Daypack, my view that “lightweight carry” meant “weak” completely changed. For one, this pack is one of the most comfortable packs that I have ever carried; and I have carried multiple different […]
Your belt is the foundation of everyday carry, especially if you are carrying concealed. The belt needs to be rigid enough to keep your gear where it needs to be without having to constantly adjust it, but not too rigid to where it’s uncomfortable to wear and difficult to run through your belt loops. Over […]
Tailoring your EDC (everyday carry) for each situation doesn’t have to be complicated. It also doesn’t have to be overboard. The truth is, that what you carry to work probably isn’t practical to carry while at school, to the gym, and definitely not while running. To touch on the latter, running, I don’t claim to […]
