When it comes down to purchasing a fixed-blade knife for outdoor use, whether it’s for camping, backpacking, or to practice bushcraft and survival skills, you could potentially drop a lot of cash on something you don’t really need. I’m not saying you shouldn’t spend the extra money on a quality knife, but if you’re just starting out, you […]
Here at the Gear Bunker, we take our coffee seriously… Growing up I still remember the smell of coffee early in the mornings when my mom was getting ready. I always thought it smelled good, but always thought the taste was horrible. Fast forward several years to when I joined the Marine Corps. In the […]
