We believe the best tactical flashlight, in addition to being a well-rounded flashlight, gives consumers a significant advantage in a potentially deadly encounter. Tactical flashlights typically have a tail-activated switch to allow users to quickly turn them on under stress. They are bright enough to momentarily blind an attacker and are designed to withstand harsh […]
The Vietnam era jungle boots I was issued while serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment in the 90’s were so terrible compared to the offerings today. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t just a bit jealous. The LPC (Leather Personal Carrier) is the Infantry’s primary mode of transportation. Also known as the boot. […]
Able Carry is a young brand that is quickly moving up my list of favorite backpack manufacturers. Their backpacks are very well made with high quality materials and stitching. And their pocket layout makes more sense to me than some competitors. The sleek low-profile appearance that Able Carry incorporates across the line seem to blend […]

One thing I never pack when traveling to the islands or anywhere warm for that matter is a beach towel. The conventional terry cloth beach towels are pretty bulky when folded up and are a “no-go” when we’re traveling light. My wife and I typically bring a roller carry-on and towels never make the cut. […]
We use personal headlamps all the time while camping, hunting, fishing or traveling overland. So I was excited when asked to try out a new design from Knog. The Bilby isn’t like any headlamp I’ve ever used and I wasn’t sure about the design when I first opened the box. But after fiddling with it […]
As a former member of 2nd Ranger Battalion in the 90’s, I’m all too familiar with the lightweight BDU’s (Battle Dress Uniform) that we were issued to us by the half dozen. They were a Nylon/Cotton Rip Stop uniform that was supposed to be as durable as the original heavyweight BDU’s but with less weight […]
Adding to the new LTE Line, SOG incorporated high tech materials to help the Kiku XR LTE shed 1.5 ounces. In 2019, Studies and Observations Group (SOG) started a brand overhaul, sort of.

Olight’s new flashlight, the Seeker 4 Pro, fits in at the campsite and around the neighborhood as a high-powered torch for low-light situations. Building on the Seeker 3 Pro, Olight has introduced the Seeker 4 this year. Olight was […]
Matches have been around for quite some time, they have been carried, and used by most outdoorsmen. Matches tend to be frowned upon as a reliable ignition source for fire due to the match stick breaking (this can be attributed to the individual’s technique the majority of the time), or the head of the match […]
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 knife Victorinox offered […]
