Do I need this?
I find myself asking that question way too often. I’m admittedly frugal so even when I find something I want, even if it’s rather cheap, I think too much. In a couple posts about Maxpedition recently I mentioned finally springing for some of their smaller pouches recently and man are they cool. You only live once right?...
Looking Propper
It’s a good day when you have some more Lightweight Tactical Pants to talk about. Everybody loves cotton and the 100% Cotton models are likely favored by some (or many) but again, if you’re out running around or working an environment where your legs actually sweat, it can suck. The particular uniform pants I’ve been...
Goats are Legit
So maybe a goat isn’t the first animal that comes to mind when you think about legit animals. You probably chose a honey badger or something. That’s way too obvious. Just look at em, up there on some slippery ass rocks with no thumbs and such. Even the baby is up there, he aint scurred....
Benchmade Triage
Triage refers to the evaluation and categorization of the sick or wounded when there are insufficient resources for medical care of everyone at once. Historically, triage is believed to have arisen from systems developed for categorization and transport of wounded soldiers on the battlefield.¹ While some form of triage often happens in busy emergency departments,...
Memorial Redux
Memorial Day, an American holiday observed on the last Monday of May, honors men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or...
Double Ds
Clearly the preview image should have spoiled any hopes you had of oogling double ds of a different variety. You will be able to hold them in your hand though thanks to the first D Cell powered flashlight from Fenix, the TK50. Some say variety is the spice of life and Fenix has done an...
Do you wallet?
iWallet. That’s what they call it. They is Hazard 4 of Civilian Labs so don’t tell Apple; they seem to get touchy any time someone puts a little “i” in front of a product name. The iWallet combines the function of an iPhone case with a high capacity tri-fold wallet and gives you a number...
1,000 Words
As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. So what is it this guy hiding in the shrubs is trying to tell us? Well he really doesn’t have to say anything. The good old black rifle sticking out like a sore thumb tells us all we need to know. It is...
Are you a NeatFreak?
I could have sworn we talked about the Maxpedition NeatFreak but evidently I’m not as organized as I thought. Luckily the blog software has a pretty typical search feature that confirmed that we have yet to feature it. I must have come across it during one of my YouTube binges of Maxpedition gear reviews. It’s amazing...
Access Granted
Have we mentioned lately that you can’t have too many knives? I was questioning a coworker at my “non-tactical” oriented job about whether or not she owned and/or carried a knife or flashlight. Unfortunately she answered no in both cases. I urged she should have at least one of each in her car. One could make it their...
The Anti-Bottle
Here we go again, trying to keep you hydrated. If you’re like my household, you might “subscribe” to a water delivery service or purchase water bottles by the case, maybe both. It’s the latter practice that we could and probably should get away from. One bottle a day travels with me to work and when...
5.11 – The B.E.A.S.T.
If you’re reading this blog then it’s likely you already know the power of social media. Not only does it allow you the ability to connect with, communicate and keep in touch with friends and family but it has also evolved to encompass the products and brands you might use on a daily basis. Many...
