Nightstick Weapon Lights
While completely geeking out on flashlights and weapon lights at SHOT Show a couple of months ago, I came across Nightstick lights. Brian, the Nightstick rep I spoke to, immediately pointed out some of the perks of Nightstick lights, which were quality, price point, brightness, and function. One of the coolest features he showed me, […]
Dark Energy Chargers: A Bright Spot in the Market
When it comes to portable chargers, I’ve always needed them, but I’ve never exactly been excited about them. After all, what could be exciting about a rectangular charging block that is utilized solely for charging my electronics? Are they necessary for me? Yes. Exciting? Not. At least that’s what I thought… Like some of the […]
Faraday Defense: Protection through Hell, High Water and EMPs
When I saw the Faraday Defense booth at the 2022 SHOT Show, I was intrigued.

Since that time, I’ve […]
Ledlenser Flashlights Gear Review
As I was walking through the glorious jungle of gear that was the 2022 SHOT Show, I came across a small booth for a company that has become one of my most used and most beloved flashlight brands; Ledlenser. The brand was founded in 1994 when two brothers with no more than a dream and […]

One of those brands was Savior Equipment. When I first saw the […]
Haven Tents: If You Feel Like You Are Sleeping on Air, It’s Because You Are
I might have mentioned this before here on SOFREP… for those who haven’t heard it, I’ll be sure to say it again: camping in South Florida can really suck. This part of the country is like the Amazon, Africa, or Australia. A good part of South Florida is double canopy jungle and is the only […]

The “25L” in the description refers to a 25-liter capacity volume. Military 3P Tactical Backpack Features MOLLE SYSTEM: Molle webbing system is ideal for attaching […]

Legend All-Weather Compression Socks
Socks are something I never thought about when addressing tactical gear. Not until my first deployment and I realized how valuable good socks are. I got my hands on the Legend All-Weather Compression socks and have put some miles on them. Proper socks are so damn important. I deployed with the bargain bin socks the […]
