When I first saw the Paradive MKII Gen 3, to be honest, I didn’t think much of it. It was clean no doubt, but it failed to show any type of sophistication that I frequently see. So when I started seeing some of my close friends sporting the piece, I hopped on the web and headed […]

5.11 Push Pack: Meets all your grab-and-go needs
A few months ago I was walking into the local stop & rob (AKA convenience store). As I entered I walked past a guy sporting a beard and full sleeve tattoos, something struck me as familiar and as I turned around to see what it was and so did he. We looked at each other […]
Photo of the Day: Yeti’s new Rambler 24oz. Mug
Not a day goes by without using one of my Yeti Ramblers. Wether it’s keeping a cup of coffee hot in the morning, or a beverage cold later in the day. They simply out perform anything else I’ve used. One of my favorites around the house is a Rambler 14 ounce Mug. That coffee mug sees […]
Zero Tolerance 0022 | A tiny knife that punches above it’s weight class
When I look through my collection of folding knives, I notice a lack of variety in the size department. With many of them falling into the more common 8″ to 8.5″ overall length. In fact, the smallest knife I own is the ZT0450CF at 7.4″ and 2.4oz. Hardly a mini. That’s why I was intrigued […]

My 5.11 Shotgun Loadout
It’s not a big surprise that I love shotguns right? Well, 5.11 has helped me out with an awesome Shotgun Loadout for my All Missions Plate Carrier. It’s one of the two loadouts I run on my AMP and I have been training hard over the last week with it. Learning how to use both […]
Product Preview: Zero Tolerance 0470, Relentless Tactical Belt and Safariland CD-Auto Mag Carrier
Recently, I was sent a Zero Tolerance knife to review. Immediately upon unboxing, I realized the quality was far beyond my current EDC knife. This got me thinking about the rest of my EDC kit. So, I went searching for better gear that wouldn’t break the bank and I’ve found a few pieces of kit I […]
Gerber Paraframe Folding Knife
*Republished with permission from Hooks & Ammo The Gerber Paraframe knife has been my current everyday carry knife for a few months now. I like the features of the knife and at the price point, the knife is a great deal. Gerber is a respected name and their products have always been well made and have […]
Shockwave’s ZMAGs: Liven up Your M11/9
I recently purchased an ancient Cobray M11/9 for a killer deal for an upcoming Retro Wave 3 gun match here in Florida. It came with one, old school Zytel plastic magazine. Lord knows how old it is. I knew for the match I’d need a few spares and I didn’t want Zytel, so imagine how […]
Photo of the day: Keeping your ass clean when overlanding
Two well thought out items from Madator that came in handy were the FlatPak Toiletry Bottle and Soap Bar Case. Both extremely lightweight and fold flat. The Toiletry Bottle is a welded Cordura bottle that can hold 3 ounces of any liquid soap or shampoo. A screw top lid makes loading it easy. And the flip top […]
