A couple years back, my Battalion Commander took all his Junior Officers up to the North Georgia Appalachian Trail, where we all hiked about 50mi of the AT in just over 24 hours. We weren’t given a specific packing list, but told to “pack what you’ll need”. We knew with this type of terrain, for […]

It’s badass and I can’t imagine switching to anything else. The Vortex Optics Razor UH-1 has been adopted by anyone and everyone that can get their hands on it as the go-to CQC/CQB optic. It’s fair in weight and the eye relief is incredible (I mean it is a holograph so that’s not really a […]

As I continue to build my SR 762 from Ruger (.308) I decided to acquire a chest rig. I have a plate carrier already (which this rig can attach to), but I wanted something lightweight I could use while hunting with this platform (WA a .308 is good for all big game). After talking to […]

I won’t bore you with all the technical mumbo-jumbo, for I am not a professional flashlight reviewer. There are already many reviews about this particular product online from […]
About 6 weeks before the event, I get a text from a friend in Tennessee. The discussion turns to the Red Clay Rally scheduled for 16-18 October 2020.
