The Gear Bunker
It seems that when I’m supposed to be on vacation, I’m still “working”. I’m using quotations because although wearing new sunglasses in sunny environments, or testing a sand free towel or travel shirt is technically working for The Gear Bunker, it really isn’t. Fortunately, while vacationing in the Spice Island of Grenada, I had a […]
Like my previously reviewed phone case from Phoozy, the 11″ Tablet Case offers a lot of the same protections for your tablet or laptop. Bump protection with the Imactor Core 2.0. IP66 water protection using HydroGuard technology. And even hot and cold temperature protection. This is achieved by using a patented Chromium Thermal Barrier adapted from […]

Although I do carry a smaller flashlight on my person every day, I still like to have a robust flashlight for both my home and my vehicle. Not wanting to get a large bulky Maglite as well as not spending an arm and a leg on some of the more popular names in the tactical […]
Many people, including myself, have overlooked flashlights as a part of our respective EDC. Instead, we rely on our phones’ lights which are occasionally unwieldy and less dependable to use in emergencies. Olight has introduced the Baton 3 Pro flashlight as an option to fill that EDC requirement for a standalone light source. Use Discount […]

I went with the large size in green. The MTM Survivor box has the following features: Water-resistant O ring seal Padlock tabbed […]
A trip down to Appalachia to compete in the Red Clay Rally offered a perfect setting to test a new piece of kit from the folks at GSI Outdoors. After waking up in a frost covered tent, especially when it’s below freezing, the first thing on my mind is a hot cup of coffee. Well, […]
I’ve always been a knife person and have carried various models of a Syderco knife since they first hit the market in 1990. A few years ago I was attending the Direct Action Group’s VIP/PSD Course and the Max Joseph the owner and lead instructor recommended the Spyderco Delica. It’s his go-to knife for daily use […]
In the last few years, the number of manufacturers of USB device chargers has grown significantly.

I personally prefer a middle-of-the-road charger that can charge/power my […]
Gerber Knives have been around since the early ’90s and have a proven track record. I personally carried a Gerber folding knife during my enlisted years in the Marine Corps. The knife was always there and never failed me. I used it for everything from opening up that favorite MRE to prying open ammunition crates. […]
The Surfshorts Wallet by Chums is a great option if you’re looking for a minimalist wallet. For me, this wallet fits my minimalist lifestyle almost perfectly. I’ve carried larger wallets in the past, but rarely found myself using half of what was inside it, so over the past few years I’ve tried several smaller low profile wallets in […]
Lightweight and packable, the Hillsound BTR Stool is definitely Better Than a Rock. I’ve used folding stools previously when attending training or working in situations that required me to be on my feet for long hours. With limited places to sit other than the ground, a nice packable stool can be a lifesaver. The one […]

The Standard Issue Flak 2.0 Thin Blue Line edition […]
