The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
We have published a few articles highlighting vehicle loadouts, but most of those are wrapped around the concept of bugging out. In this article, I’m referring to my backpack as a Batman bag. The term Batman Bag is coined from Pat McNamara’s Sentinel course. One of his breakout sessions deals with vehicle preparedness and the concept […]
Owning a boat, ATV or RV can be fun. Recreational items are a great way to unwind and spend time with family and friends. Downsides to these items are the frequency of use and storage. Oh yeah, and cost. Unlike your daily driver that fits in the garage, recreational items often need to be stored […]
Definition of an Apex Predator: A predator at the top of a food chain that is not preyed upon by another animal. The Emerson Tiger knife is just like a real tiger- an apex predator. It is a purebred fighting knife featuring a razor sharp trailing point wed to a serious self-defense handle style culminating […]
Rumpl makes some of the warmest, coziest blankets around. For a couple of years now, our family has become a total convert. From the original puffy blanket to the Sherpa, Beach Shammy Towels and now the Ground Cover. Often times while at a concert, picnic, camping or just a day at the beach, we find […]

It turned out to be a blessing that […]
A few months ago I was prepping and planning for Hurricane Irma to make landfall in Florida. I had food, I had water, and I was generally ready to evacuate. One way thing I was deeply concerned about was my firearms. Your standard firearm’s cases stand out and make themselves nice and obvious. I wish I […]
Arc’teryx apparel can be found in some military units, and exclusively seen on the new History TV show Six, but how about using it in your civilian life without being too tactical? You may have read a few of my previous posts in continuing to acquire and test low-visibility clothing that makes carrying a concealed […]
Once Overland Expo East came to a close on Sunday, my wife and I had 850 miles to cover on our way home to Michigan. We had a good time at the Expo despite the comical amount of mud created by constant rainfall. Back we’d travel through the beautiful Smokey Mountains. We arrived in Hendersonville […]
A while ago I started penciling in the idea for an article titled “the expectations of accuracy”. Without diving all the way in, it’s all about defining your acceptable level of accuracy in training to match your required level of accuracy in the real world. If you need to hit the vitals on a deer […]
