Overland Essentials | Master Cook Station from GCI Outdoor
An Overland Rig is a constantly evolving beast in my opinion. I’ve been trying different things, testing different configurations and adjusting gear for the past 2 years. It seems to never end. But each time I head out to camp for awhile, different scenarios like weather, location, passengers all seem to have me making minor […]

ZT 0707 | The Perfect Balance Between Big and Small Knives
Blending the lines between a large and small pocket knife, the new 0707 from Zero Tolerance seems to find a perfect balance. It’s hard to believe that a folding pocket knife measuring 8.25″ fully extended can weigh in at a mere 2.3 ounces. I guess it’s possible when using such materials as carbon fiber and […]
TCM TAC Ultra | A Dual Chambered 1911 from Rock Island Armory
If you’ve read any of my articles on handguns, you know I’m a Glock guy. My first experience with the iconic 1911 came from Rock Island Armory and it’s not chambered in the original .45ACP.
