Loadout Room photo of the day: PDW Raider pants
Picked up two pairs of Prometheus Design Werx Raider pants. Can’t say enough about them- super comfy, double knees, doesn’t scream tactical, wide enough cuff for boots and multiple pockets.

I’ve always been a huge advocate for carrying a blade for both utility and defense. There is a lot more to carrying a blade for self-defense than just buying a cool knife and throwing it in your pocket. You need to seek training in using a knife for self-defense if that is going to be […]
