Laptop, tablet, phone, GoPro, AirPods and Dive Computer. Fortunately, three of those items can be charged wirelessly. And that’s where the […]
The Gerber Impromptu pen is built for something like an NPE. For those that don’t know, NPE stands for Non-Permissive Environment. It is a military/intelligence term for an area of operations in which you can either expect apathy or outright hostility from the local authorities. Because what you’re doing isn’t exactly sectioned. The equivalent of […]
Pistol Caliber Carbines, or PCCs, are firearms that are chambered in a pistol caliber, typically 9mm. They are popular among gun enthusiasts and shooters because they offer many advantages over other types of firearms.

LIVSN is a relatively small brand with a big focus on sustainability, social responsibility and good functional designs. Living true to these principals, LIVSN has created a pair of pants that’s quite possibly my favorite thus far. And that’s saying something because I go through a lot of pants. Not necessarily because I wear them […]
If you’re looking for a water filtration/storage system, Lifesaver offers a couple great options. In the past, I reviewed the Lifesaver Jerrycan which holds a little over 4 gallons of water. But as we move out of our Toyota Tundra and into the smaller FJ Cruiser, the Jerrycan proved too large to make the final […]

Recently, I was given the opportunity to test Midland Radio’s latest and greatest product. And it isn’t even a radio! Although we utilize the Midland MXT275 Micromobile in the Tundra, the MXT400 in the FJ as well as their T290 X-Talkers for communications, this product is new territory for the radio manufacturer. A portable […]

Rifling is the process of incorporating spiral grooves into the interior of a firearm’s barrel in order to increase accuracy by imparting spin to the bullet as it exits the barrel. The traditional way of rifling has been to use lands and grooves; however, over the years, a new style of rifling known as 5R […]
Not too long ago at the grocery store, I decided on an impulse to pick up a copy of Forbes Magazine. I typically go for the tactical gun type magazines, but I wanted to change it up a bit. The article that caught my eye was one on Steve McQueen’s Rolex Submariner watch, that will […]
