We’ve all seen the Bourne movies where he uses different burner phones and sim cards to minimize his chances of getting caught. To some, […]
We recently got our hands on the Mission Workshop Rhake city pack. I haven’t had much time to actually use the product yet, but I am thinking it’s a great candidate for a one-bag adventure.

During a shooting course I attended, the instructor conducted a 2-hour block of medical training focusing on gunshot wounds and trauma. Up to that point, […]
