Maxpedition has been around for a while now and has proven themselves in the tactical nylon industry. They are known for making bombproof gear. I’ve used several smaller pouches and one of their Falcon packs in the past. One of the most durable small day packs I had ever tried and used. I recently saw […]

Tenicor Certum IWB Holster
Tenicor is a hot company at the moment. Many of the more infamous tactical/firearm e-stores have been stocking their products and there is clearly a following. Their most popular holster seems to be the Tenicor Velo, an AIWB rig, with a wedge molded onto the backside of the holster for better concealment, (achieved by pushing […]
Deuter Speedlite 20: The adventure go-bag turned mobile office
I have a lot of bags, probably more than most people. Most of it is due to my job, but some have also been personal purchases. I’ve tested many bags over the years and have my favorites. One thing I have come to accept is that there is no one bag for everything, but I’ve […]
Photo of the day: Travel luggage perfection?
I’m a traveler, adventurist and part-time explorer. Well, at least that’s how I see myself. Whether traveling to foreign countries or domestically, having the proper luggage remains a key factor. Unfortunately, there is no “one-size-fits-all” luggage. Because of this, the storage area under my stairs is chalked full of various sized bags for different missions. […]
Vertx EDC Transit Sling: Built for low profile missions
I hadn’t owned a backpack for about 15 years when I came across Vertx. That time frame probably makes me seem a lot older than I am(I’m 27), but long story short, I didn’t carry one a day past the end of 5th grade. I can’t remember thinking “I want a backpack!” at any point […]
Photo of the day: 5.11 AMP72 as an SBR backpack

One such impressive […]
BlackPoint Tactical Mini WING holster: Used by James Reece in The Terminal List
I recently finished reading The Terminal List and was extremely impressed with not only the storyline, but the list of weapons and gear used by the character, James Reece. As I was reading through the book, I was taking note of the guns and gear used. Most of it was stuff I’ve either personally used or […]
Dynamis Alliance Low Pro 1.5″ Minimalist Belt
Your belt is the foundation of everyday carry, especially if you are carrying concealed. The belt needs to be rigid enough to keep your gear where it needs to be without having to constantly adjust it, but not too rigid to where it’s uncomfortable to wear and difficult to run through your belt loops. Over […]

The Black Hornet is a vehicle reconnaissance system (VRS) and falls under the unmanned aerial system (UAS) category. It is designed and manufactured by FLIR Systems, one of the world’s largest companies specializing in the development and production of high-quality […]
How to travel with one backpack
These photos and post were taken from Kyle Defoor’s Facebook page. Like I’ve said before, I’ve trained with Kyle and have been following him for several years now. Kyle has a lot of experience with most types of gear and clothing, especially when it comes to travel and shooting. I’ve adopted some of Kyles methods […]
