Spring usually means rain, so it’s important that your EDC gear has some level of water resistance. It’s also the time […]
I have a wild abundance of pocket knives, being of the mindset that it’s nice to have one in my pocket at all times and one in each pack/rack and bag that I use regularly. As such, it’s tough for one to win “king of the hill” and be the blade that I carry every day […]

So when you must have the protection you need, choosing your own gear can be like your first deployment, your first day on the range or driving around in your first […]
Having carried a hand-me-down Spyderco G2 during most of my time at 2nd Ranger Bn, I thought I was pretty familiar with their products. First arriving to the Earthpig Platoon of Attack Company 2/75 in the fall of 1992, I was wide-eyed, physically fit and ready to crush the world. Yet during the initial introduction […]
