Professional Gear Reviews
Grey Ghost Gear (GGG) of Idaho has been quietly producing some of the slickest gear available. Having recently taken a look at their range bag, I’ve seen the quality of their craftsmanship firsthand. Naturally, I had high expectations heading in the review of their Stealth Operator pack. Designed as a “low visibility recce pack that can be used […]
Water bottles have become a daily sidekick for people on the go. Wether you’re headed to a morning workout, the office or a hike in the woods, most likely, a water bottle will be a necessary item. With so many high quality water bottles available, it becomes difficult to differentiate the choices. A quick search […]
One of my passions is golfing. Although my golf game is fairly solid, my wardrobe needs some work. So a few years back, my wife reached out to Patrick Gibbons to craft a patriotic themed belt for me. For the past 7 years on Labor Day weekend, I play in a tournament at Treetops Resort […]
I still remember the first time I tried dip. I had passed basic training (Army), AIT, and was in the middle of airborne school at Ft. Benning (GA).

One thing I never pack when traveling to the islands or anywhere warm for that matter is a beach towel. The conventional terry cloth beach towels are pretty bulky when folded up and are a “no-go” when we’re traveling light. My wife and I typically bring a roller carry-on and towels never make the cut.

Recently I started a two-part review of Liberty ammunition’s Civil Defense round. Part 1 can be read here. A +P defensive load zipping out around 2150 FPS, this diminutive 50gr bullet looks impressive. I had some doubts during my first range day as my chronograph was recording high variability in the velocity. This manifested […]
In 1942, Zippo released an advertisement that said, “The world over, wherever there are fighting men, the demand for Zippos is terrific. The genuine demand for Zippos by G.I. Joes is the one reason why there are no civilian sales at this time.” Jump ahead forty plus years later and I can recall my excitement […]
