The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
Doing a bit of info gathering, one could easily identify a sizable portion of the Loadoutroom readership that’s currently (or has in the past) associated with either Law Enforcement or the US Armed Services. Among the non-LEO or MIL readers, there still exists a significant portion who share a common interest with our uniformed associates: […]
For those aspiring Special Operations candidates out there, as they finish their workout today in preparing for Selection (you can find it right here). Here is another challenge for you to pledge some time and effort for a really good cause, while you just add to your preparation time in getting ready to go to […]

The human body is an incredible machine, capable of both monumental feats of strength and delicate maneuvers of finesse.

Recommending gear is always a difficult proposition. Why?

Caveat aside, one thing that we’ve harped on is having comfortable, tough, versatile boots on your feet. In Special Forces, your boots and your […]
A while back I reviewed the Rockwell Coliseum watch for the Raider Project. The Coliseum line of watches are built to withstand rigorous use whether you’re deployed to and operating in less than ideal conditions, rucking, backpacking or any outdoor action sport for that matter.

Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation Week 8, Day 5 Back to the gym today as we prep for the UBRR with a Chest and Triceps workout. Then a 4-mile ruck march with 45-pounds minimum. Since we’re rucking two days in a row…. It would be a great time, to wear that second pair of boots. […]
It’s that time of year again. The time where people make promises to themselves (resolutions), and an overwhelming majority of these promises are about weight/health. For some people this means enrolling at their local gym, or signing up with a personal trainer to help create a plan. I like going to the gym, I do […]
Special Operations Forces Selection PT Preparation Week 8, Day 4 Shoulders and back day in the gym before heading off to do a 5-mile rucksack march in under 75 minutes. Conduct the ruck over varied terrain. It will probably be a very early start here in the Northeast as we’re supposed to get hit with […]
