Corporal Nick Coffman (USMC) keeping a military working dog’s skills sharp while near the Syrian border in Waleed, Iraq circa 2009. At the remote forward operating base, the Marine dog handler was appreciative of any person willing to put on the cumbersome bite suit under the hot Iraqi summer sun to keep his canine weapon in shape.

Kyle Defoor is one of the few, if not the only firearms instructor that incorporates blade work and combatives into his training. We’re not talking about folding knives clipped to your pocket either. These are concealed fixed blades with one purpose. To defend your life with. Watch as Kyle goes over the knives he uses and a simple […]
Take a few minutes to listen to what Tuhon Harley Elmore has to say about your responsibility of protecting your family and loved ones. The responsibility goes beyond just being able to physically protect them from punks on the street or home invaders. Protecting your family and loved ones also includes being prepared to protect them […]
When I first got my hands on the MOS Tactical S4 sling I was a little baffled by the design. It seemed like nothing more than a tubular nylon runner you would use for climbing and a sling snap hook. The runner is stitched together with what looks like the same way that rated climbing runners are. I’m […]
It’s been a while since I’ve been climbing and rappelling; about 20+ years. I recently took my top rope belay test at the local rock climbing facility so that I could assist with tying in climbers and belaying them. It felt good to get back into it. With that comes some new gear in my collection. […]
My father was a career Intelligence Officer in the US Army. My two brothers and I grew up pretending to be in the Army and conducted mock warfare in the woods wherever we were living at the time. Rummaging through his Government issue duffel bags and foot locker, we were able to grab enough gear […]
Back in the 1990’s, the vehicle of choice for the 75th Ranger Regiment was the RSOV. Produced by Land Rover, the Ranger Special Operations Vehicle met the criteria we needed in a wheeled vehicle. Helping us facilitate airfield seizures, the RSOV offered a team of Rangers rapid mobility. Used primarily for setting up blocking positions on major […]
Below are some photos of Rex Nanorum’s recent successful hunting trip. He was able to, with precision, take down his prey from 200 yards with a 6.5″ barreled AR chambered in 300 Blk. The ammunition was 120-grain copper round. Rex seems to be a natural born predator and has the skills to back it up. […]
Two RHIBS running and gunning and conducting training in a formation on a calm and warm day 2 miles off the east coast. Nothing like a selfie to show how tactical you can be! This picture was taken right before the RHIB behind me made its approach to “tighten up” the formation. Doing this at […]
Anyone that has served in the military knows the acronym FUBAR. Generally, when the word is uttered it’s not a good thing, it’s pretty much the exact opposite of a good thing. So when a new demolition tool from Stanley Tools arrived at my door (bearing that name), you can understand why I smiled. Stanley Tools had certainly piqued my curiosity. […]
