Hook & Albert Weekender Bag: A Bag for the Capable Gentleman
In the Marine Corps, when I either traveled home or changed duty stations, in order to transport my uniforms without them wrinkling, I had to use the traditional garment bag. The traditional garment bags fill their intended role very well, but they are limited to only that role and tend to be big and bulky. […]

Both Gerber and Leatherman are the leading manufactures and I’ve carried multi-tools from both in the past. In the past, they have always […]
Overland Expo East | Part 1: The journey begins

BCA 3.0 | Evolution of the Bravo Concealment BCA Holster
With winter looming (there’s actually 12″ of snow on the ground as I write this) I make the transition between my every day carry firearms. In the warmer months, I carry a sub-compact Sig Sauer P365 with an inside the waist belt holster due to its deeper concealment under lighter clothing. As the temps drop and I […]
Direct Action Messenger Bag: A versatile messenger bag for any lifestyle
I am definitely not one to carry a “tactical” bag. Whenever I see someone with anything screaming military it makes me cringe. So when I got this bag, I went into it with hesitation but quickly became friends with it. I have not used a messenger bag since elementary school, however, its efficiency and versatility […]
