When I first heard about the Apple AirPods and looked them up, I was immediately turned off by the price. Why in the world would I pay $160 for a pair of earbuds? So I continued to use my old school wired earbuds and even got a Bluetooth pair that had a wire between them. […]
Within military units, especially special operations, you’ll commonly hear the phrase ‘get off the X’. The X represents ground zero when engaged in combat or a fight for your life. In the military, we were trained to do whatever it takes to get off the X quickly so that we reduce the chance of casualties […]
I received my pair of Ridgemont Outfitters Heritage boots about two years ago and have put plenty of miles on them with no issues.

As you may have noticed with much of my content, I’ve got a heavy interest in men’s lifestyle clothing brands that offer me the ability to both move in a dynamic environment and be lethal if the situation warrants. Mobility equals survivability; a phrase coined by Pat McNamara. You need to be able to move […]

Carrying a concealed fixed blade knife, or even carrying a knife at all for personal defense is somewhat of a controversial issue depending on where you live and who you talk to.

Ed Calderon is a very interesting individual and I am proud to have called him my friend for almost 20 years. For most of those years, I couldn’t talk about him or tell you about him. The reason was that he was working as a counter narco-terrorist up against some of the most ruthless cartel […]
