We’ve all seen the dude walking through the mall with a pair of overtly tactical cargo pants, OD green rip-stop nylon shirt, backpack and tactical boots, right? This clown might as well have a sign on his back that says “kill me first” should a mass shooting occur. He’s either advertising that he has some […]
Not too long ago I published an article on the Tactical Nightstand. The idea behind the tactical nightstand is to have the necessary items at arms reach in the event of a home invasion or emergency.

New for 2017 is a drastic departure from the tried and true SOG multi tool design. SOG has introduced a line of Baton multi tools as well as a pair of belt buckle multi tools referred to as the Sync 1 & 2. This departure has proven that the designers at SOG are looking for […]
I’m always on the hunt for a good backpack that can fill the role of everyday carry and go-bag without screaming tactical in any way.
