Rad’s hanging out with the Marines at Camp Pendleton in this edition of Rad on Gear, and appropriately enough, he’s talking about some gear he received from our sponsors over at the Crate Club. The Crate Club has crates that’ll fit just about any budget, whether you’re an enthusiastic amateur outdoorsman or you’re a seasoned […]
If you’re the sort of guy that thinks shooting at your friends sounds like a solid way to spend a Saturday, Rad’s got just the thing for you: it’s a Valken airsoft mask designed specifically to keep you (or anyone else, for that matter) from shooting your eye out. Rad breaks down what makes these […]
In the edition of Rad on Gear, Rad’s back in the deserts of Utah because he knows that finding a good time sometimes means logging the miles. When the sun’s beating down on you and there’s no shade in sight, it’s up to you to bring your own, and that’s why Rad’s talking Boonie hats […]

Here at the Loadout Room, we love a good knife–and Rad is no exception. This time, he’s out on the trails of Utah logging some miles and carrying a handmade sheep-hoof style blade from Ibex Ironworks. Ibex Ironworks is a veteran owned company that builds their knives by hand, so you’ll have to go straight […]
