E.A.R.N. – A simple but effective way of mastering your fitness regimen

In the pursuit of bettering one’s self from a physical standpoint, there are so many options available today. There is no “one size fits all” approach to fitness nor has there ever been. I’ve met people from all walks of life in peak physical condition; some of them do insane amounts of running, swimming, and […]

Sneak peek at the Grey Ghost Gear RRS Transport Bag

We just got in the new Grey Ghost Gear RRS Transport Bag. The idea behind this bag is a vehicle go-bag, so that’s how I plan on employing this bag. Over the course of the next few weeks, I’m going to load this out as a vehicle go bag in my Chevy Silverado Trail Boss. […]

Jerry Miculek versus Bump stock | Man or machine?

While many online have spend considerable time debating the merits and demerits of bump stocks, one of the quickest ways to reductio ad absurdum (reduce to absurdity) the anti-bump stock argument is to point out that a talented shooter with a properly tuned rifle can exceed both the rate-of-fire and lethality generated by a bump stock […]

How safe is axe throwing? Check this out!

This just makes me cringe when I watch this video. It’s like a bad car accident; you can’t look away once you start watching. I’ve thrown my share of tomahawks and axes. Never once did I have this happen. Damn. Best comment below wins this Kershaw Seguin folding knife *Photo courtesy of Big […]

Zero Tolerance 0470 folding knife

I first saw Zero Tolerance in 2007 at Grey Group Training in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I was immediately attracted to the look of their knives. But their price point turned me off. So when I got the chance to review the 0470 model, I jumped on it. Designed by Dimitri Sinkevitch and coming in at […]

.50 BMG versus Steel plate INSIDE ballistic gel

Rifles, optics, plate carriers and more: we at Loadout Room test and review a wide variety of gear. Sometimes though, we like to sit back and watch shit blow up. While I’m excitedly working on this week’s reviews, I currently have exactly zero .50 BMG chambered rifles, armor-piercing-incendiary-tracer (APIT) rounds, or even a nice little […]

The Crate Club Battle Axe: Slice and Dice in Style

I’ve only been working for Crate Club a few months now and in that time I’ve seen some awesome stuff come through the Crates. But this is by far my favorite piece of gear. This isn’t an off the shelf item, but an ax designed by the Crate Club crew. It’s production numbers are limited to 8,500 […]

The Pistol caliber carbine market seems to be growing yearly with more options on the market than ever before. PCCs is a broad term and covers both rifles like the Ruger PCC and pistols like the Scorpion and they’ve never been more popular than now. The market for quality tactical kit to accommodate PCCs is […]

The new Napier Backroadz SUV Tent, Model 19100

I recently received the Napier Backroadz SUV tent for review. I was very excited about this project as I had donated my last tent to a local organization and have been looking at tents or campers that I could use I conjunction with my vehicle (Honda CRV, 2009). When the tent arrived I unpacked it […]

Building a 10 ATM water resistant watch

Vaer Watches are designed for everyday use in the ocean, whether that’s swimming, surfing, or diving. Throughout the Vaer watch design process, we knew that we wanted to build a watch that would be able to take on not only everyday wear, but also the more adventurous life activities. This meant that achieving a 10 […]
