Light Infantry is anything but and it only gets heavier as time goes on. Most of the time, heavy is good: heavy squats, heavy deadlifts, heavy riffs, heavy metal, etc. Weight is weight and despite the endless discussions between your privates when they should be pulling security – a pound of feathers and a pound […]

Gadsden Dynamics War Belt: Designed for the prepared civilian
A couple of months ago, Gadsden Dynamics sent out a War Belt for review. I put up my initial impressions here, but have now spent enough time at the range and over the hills to deliver a final review. For a quick refresher, the War Belt weighs only 10 oz (with optional AustriAlpin Cobra buckle upgrade) and is 3 MOLLE […]
AMYIPO Water Bottle Pouch: More than just a water bottle pouch
I’m really tired of ammo cans and how awkward they are. I’ve been trying to find an alternative that will take up less space and won’t have as much wasted space. I know there’s a ton of companies that make up bags specific to shooting sports and holding ammo. But I wanted to see if […]
Photo of the day: MUUL RuckBucket, When is the last time you broke a bucket? Never
The Muul RuckBucket is truly one of the more unique and versatile packs I’ve ever owned. It is a combination of a backpack and cooler, but with a core feature that sets it apart from similar products — a 5-gallon bucket inside.

Red Rock Outdoor Gear | The Transporter Pack
I’ve recently started getting into precision rifle shooting. All of the sudden, my nice little range bag was stuffed full of tools I needed to keep organized and accessible. My old range bag just wasn’t up to the task. I had a chance to test out Red Rock Outdoor’s Transporter Pack and wanted to know if […]
Blue Force Gear RackMINUS | Not Just For Shooters
Blue Force Gear has been garnering a lot of attention in the last couple of years (rightfully), mainly for their significant advancements in the design of load bearing equipment. Their use of proprietary materials in their ULTRAcomp fabric, as well as their Helium Whisper attachment system and MOLLEminus designs, have generated a new standard for […]
Tired of leaving your full-sized go-bag in your vehicle? Check out the Vertx EDC Essential Bag
The Vertx EDC Essential bag is a departure from what I have typically used for my go-bag. I often found myself leaving my full-size backpack in my vehicle instead of carrying it with me to places that I’d truthfully be more comfortable having more than just my first-line EDC.
