In the quest to fine tune our Overland kit, we constantly come across unique items that find their way into our lives. Lately, we’ve been downsizing. We switched from a full-sized Tundra to a much smaller FJ Cruiser. Now, with this smaller platform, we must also downsize what we pack. As I look to our […]
It’s April 13, 2017, my alarm breaks the silence at 0700 sharp. I roll out of bed and sit upright, realizing the floor beneath my feet isn’t that of my home. The windows are in the wrong location, the ceiling too high, nothing feels right. Moments pass as I gather my thoughts and recall exactly […]
If you’re like me, and a large percentage of the human race, you prefer to sleep on your side. I try to avoid falling asleep on my back in fear of snoring my wife awake. Or even waking myself from a comfortable slumber. So I typically roll onto my side, curl up and drift off […]
When talking about Gatorz Eyewear, it’s kind of the best of both worlds. Durability and performance are all I ask for when I’m looking at shades, and Gatorz definitely packs that 1-2 combo. I hate not having a good pair of shades on and honestly, I never knew Gatorz would soon become a part of […]
The Ruger Precision Rifle is a very accurate, affordable and capable rifle right out of the box. Advertising sub minute of angle accuracy from the factory cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel. Having shot almost 1000 rounds through the trusty steel barrel, I can concur with Rugers accuracy claims. Attending several long-range shooting classes at […]
Awhile back I introduced the HOTTAP v2 from Joolca to our readers. Well, I finally received my Nomad Kit from them and started tinkering around with it. I basically went through an unscripted first set-up in the garage with the sink. Followed by the shower in the back yard just to see how it all worked. […]
I recently finished a block of training with my Trusty Glock 19. Although we focused on the addition of the Red Dot Sight from Holosun, one phrase kept coming up. “We don’t shoot in the dark”. Not implying that we don’t shoot at night. Just that we don’t shoot at something or someone we can’t […]
Exotac is the result of combining a Purdue educated engineer and a true love for everything outdoors. Their vision is, “based upon designing extraordinary, high-quality and unique outdoor and urban gear“. It’s a no compromise operation when it comes to product design and manufacturing. And because Exotac keeps manufacturing to smaller production runs, they’re able to adapt […]
Last year, we made the 7 hour trip to the tip of Michigans Upper Peninsula to attend KOAR. This offered us a perfect opportunity to test a cool new product from Fireside Outdoor. Due to the nature of the trip, the area we used as our base camp did not allow personal ground fires. Only the centrally located […]
I’ve been wearing combat/tactical boots since the mid 1970’s via my military, law enforcement, and security careers. From standard issue boots to those purchased on my own dime. Most have been comfortable if sized correctly. With the exception of a pair of boon dockers I was issued in Navy bootcamp. For almost a month, I’ve […]
The Vincero Argo Automatic is a classic robust watch for users searching for simple and functional. The team at Vincero managed to pull off a design blending fashion and function. Making this watch work at home, in the office or on the beach. In this day and age that’s not an easy feat. As many watch […]
NEWINGTON, N.H., (April 20, 2022) – SIG SAUER is honored to be awarded the Next Generation Squad Weapons System (NGSW) Contract by the U.S. Army after a rigorous 27-month testing and evaluation process. “The U.S. Army is taking a bold step toward command of the 21st century battlefield and SIG SAUER is immensely proud to […]
It seems like the pandemic changed how we enjoyed outdoor activities and how we adjusted to the “next normal”. I was intrigued by outdoor enthusiasts in urban areas starting to explore what lies beneath in the form of magnet fishing. Our lakes, rivers and streams have been intentional and accidental dumping grounds for centuries. And […]
