Maxpedition Beefy Pocket Organizer: A great EDC tray for travel or discreet home use
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 […]
Magpul Daka pouch is now part of my medical loadout
It seems like I’m never done ‘dialing in’ my gear. I’m always looking for better-streamlined ways of setting up my gear so that I can access it quickly when needed. Most importantly my medical gear. When it comes to medical emergencies, seconds count when first responders are minutes away. That’s why we, the capable citizens, […]
Photo of the day: State and Liberty, Clothing for the active gentleman
*Photos courtesy of Logan Winters When it comes to men’s clothing, I prefer an athletic fit, as it looks more refined and just feels more comfortable to me. I cannot stand to wear regular fit or ‘baggy’ clothing. Finding truly athletic fitting clothing was a challenging road, but I have settled on a select few brands. […]
A classic EDC tool | The Swiss Army Knife
Growing up, my Dad and I watched MacGyver every week to see what new things he would do with his Swiss Army Knife to get out of a bind. I also remember my Dad always having a Swiss Army Knife in his pocket regardless of what he was doing. My Dad preferred the Executive style of knife […]
Vehicle Preparedness Kit: The 12-hour bag
Although this bag is not necessarily part of my ’emergency’ kit for roadside emergencies, it does stay in my vehicle next to the roadside assistance gear. Some may want to categorize this as a go-bag, which I guess it could fill that role. Part of my preparedness mindset is being ready to assist others when […]
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: SPIE Rigging above Camp Lejeune
During my enlistment in the Marine Corps, I had the opportunity to use a lot of different gear. Towards the end of my enlistment, my unit was attached to the 24th MEU(SOC) to perform recovery of downed aircraft personnel. In layman terms, if one of our pilots went down behind enemy lines, we got the call to […]
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 […]
Tell me about your pistol
Tell me about your pistol? This was an interesting topic brought up at the Kyle Defoor 2 day pistol course I attended. This topic was brought up during one of his small break out sessions he does throughout the day to give your eyes a break from shooting. The usual response to someone asking a dude about […]
