With a heroic look, this distinctive every day carry (EDC) takes you back to a scene from Gladiator when Maximus kills the unworthy Emperor Commodus with his own spear point blade. Based on Rick Hinderer’s Maximus blade, Kershaw has created the Decimus; a single-edge spear point folder with the classic BlackWashâ„¢ finish. The blade is […]
Usually, there are a few items that are part of my EDC and my operational loadout. For instance, my Sig Sauer P320 in .45 and most recently the 5.11 Rapid L1 have made their way into my EDC and my operational loadout. I like to use the K.I.S.S. system with gear because if you don’t […]
There isn’t a whole lot I can say about the Buck 112 Ranger LT folding knife. Conjure up an image of a stereotypical pocket knife, and this is what most would think of. A standard folder, clip blade with a thumbnail opener. The blade length sits right at 3 inches, and when closed the overall […]
As the capabilities of our armed forces expand at an individual level to include responsibilities and abilities never before imagined, so too the requisite number of tools has expanded greatly. Much like smartphones cramming as many features as possible into a pocket-sized computer, the Garmin Tactix Charlie is a superwatch that combines the traits and […]
Exotac is the result of combining a Purdue educated engineer and a true love for everything outdoors.

And because Exotac keeps manufacturing to smaller production runs, they’re able to adapt and […]
As is common with us all, we love our gear and we can’t get enough. A common discussion in our Facebook group, The Protective Security Group, is travel gear and equipment. While not meant to be a comprehensive or ‘cookie-cutter’ list, below I share a typical packing of my ‘go-bag’ which I hope you all find useful; […]
There is no doubt that you will find article upon article on why the need exists to carry a dependable flashlight; one that you will actually carry and not leave at home. But this isn’t one of those. I’m one of those guys that always has a flashlight on me. No matter what light I […]
Weaponry comes in tiers. The tiers are often related to its concealment and its effectiveness, as well as where and when it can be carried. There is a purpose for a wide variety of weaponry, some more lethal than others, some easier to use than others, and of course some are just easy to carry. […]
Over the years I have owned and used many packs for travel, EDC, work, and outdoors activities. My most recent use for packs over the past few years has been for business/ personal travel usually by air and EDC of work-related items for remote work sites. I had previously had a 5.11 RUSH 24 pack […]
Blackbeard Belts is smaller gun belt company that many of you probably haven’t heard of. They sort of steered clear of the status quo leather belt and utilize polymer coated nylon as the primary material for their belts. This has a ton of benefits when compared to standard leather. They offer free shipping, a lifetime […]
