Israeli special operator’s top unwritten rules of close-quarters combat (Part 3)

You can find Part 1 of this series here. You can find Part 2 of this series here. This article is neither about a specific rule nor specific ways of doing specific things. Like anything in life there are dozens of paths to one destination, it´s all about efficiency and safety that sets the difference. […]

How to Survive Anything: Learn the 4 Life Saving Steps

It wasn’t all that long ago that I came across a serious accident. Two pickup trucks had collided head on at the mouth of a bridge near my rural home, and I knew it would be some time before emergency services arrived. I’m no paramedic, but in some circumstances, you’ve got no choice but to […]

ShotStop: The body armor Batman would wear

The tactical industry isn’t getting any smaller. Every day, my Facebook newsfeed seems all the more inundated with companies selling you the “operator” fantasy, keen to convince you that you need the same kit Seal Team 6 used on the Bin Laden raid to clear your kitchen when you hear a bump in the night. […]

An Israeli special operator’s top unwritten rules of close-quarters combat (Part 2)

You can find Part 1 of this series here. Welcome back to the second part of the Top 10 unwritten rules of CQB series. In the previous part we talked about the first two rules about sight fixation and flashlights. Lets continue to our next two rules. But before, we would like to remind you […]

How to Survive Anything: Dealing with predators in the wild

If you’re stuck in the wilderness for an extended period of time, there’s a chance you may find yourself sharing your new home with a fair number of predators. Most predators don’t want anything to do with you: you don’t look or smell delicious, you’re much bigger than most prey, and for all they know, you […]

An Israeli special operator’s top unwritten rules of close-quarters combat (Part 1)

This series of articles isn’t meant to offer concrete, hard-and-fast rules about close-quarters combat. Like anything in life, there are dozens of paths to this destination—it’s efficiency and safety that make the difference. These ‘rules’ are more a reminder of things that many forget or are simply not aware of. In this series of articles, […]

How to Survive Anything: The survival rule of 3’s

The Rule of 3s is a long-standing saying that isn’t really meant to be a “rule,” so much as a guideline. Because your body and circumstances are both different from anyone else’s, how long you’ll last without access to shelter, food, or water will vary greatly from other people that find themselves in tough situations. […]

Watch: Griffon Industries (and some models) give you a refresher in firearm safety

Here at The Loadout Room, we’ve presented the rules of firearm safety in a number of different ways: from think pieces to analysis, from training tips to horror stories, but throughout all of our efforts to help keep our fellow firearm enthusiasts honest and responsible, there’s one thing we never thought of trying: lingerie. Fortunately […]

Surviving SAS selection (Part 1): From the hills into the trees

The time I spent in Hereford was hell on my body, even though it was almost healed from my ordeal on the hills. I had no toenails left, and the blister scars on my feet were still visible and hurt a little bit, especially when I put them in my new jungle boots to break […]

How to Survive Anything: How to signal SOS for help

Morse code may not be used all that frequently in today’s era of Snapchat filters and Twitter outrages, but learning these three letters can still save your life. S-O-S isn’t actually an acronym for anything, despite what your Sailor grandfather may have told you — it’s really just the letter designations for the string of […]
