These items are for active duty military, LEO, and first responders only. Please note that SGPT does not endorse using or obtaining these knives for anything illegal.  Ontario Knive Company has been around for a while, 1889 in fact. And  they’ve been making blades for a long time, and it shows. I’ve had a SP2... Read More

I know it’s a bit odd to review pants. Pants are pants are pants, right? Wrong! The Vector 24/7’s from Truspec had me thoroughly impressed when I wore them on a 8+ mile ruck in the Georgia mountains. They are lightweight, flexible, and very breathable. Unlike some other BDU pants I’ve worn, these wick away... Read More

By Heather Self Mental toughness, in the athletic world, is generally defined as perseverance despite  challenges and obstacles.  It’s recognizing that the negative self-talk our minds spew at us are really just lies.  Or, at least, misinformation. So when I say that mental toughness also means self-compassion, it means giving yourself a break.  It means... Read More

The SOG SEAL Strike, for all intents and purposes, is probably one of my favorite all-around survival knives. I have a SEAL Pup and another SOG fixed blade with the TiNi finish, and love them, but SOG hit a home run with the SOG SEAL Strike Fixed Blade. Before we even get into the specs,... Read More

I got a hold of some Truspec Tac Assault Boots 9″, and managed to test them out. I can say these are great boots for duty or training, for LEOs, PMCs, military personnel or civilians geared towards readiness or looking for something for the GORUCK. On first impression, when unboxing,  I noticed how light the... Read More

by Heather Self So by now you have your why.  You have your want and need. You have your three legs set under your table and you’re balanced and stable. Now what? Now it’s about finding your how. Often, people go into a goal thinking they have to have it laid out in perfect detail,... Read More

If I told you I have a pain relieving and anti inflammatory gel/cream, you’d probably tell me you have some in your gym bag right now. You’d probably be right. You might have Tiger Balm, Biofreeze, Bengay, or the generic version of one of these. But does yours use homeopathic methods to manage pain and... Read More

I took some gear out to Sweetwater Creek State Park this past weekend to put it through the paces, and the SOG Prophet 33 Liter Pack carried my load. Upon first inspection, I already liked this pack. If you click on any link we may get a commission from Amazon.com which helps keep gas in... Read More

I realize you might be thinking I’m just regurgitating stuff you’ve read elsewhere about goal setting (finding your why, gotta wanting it, so to speak). But there’s a valid reason all those sources keep saying it: Needing a why to keep you motivated as much of a truth as you needing to eat is. The... Read More

When it comes to goals, asking “why” you want to achieve something is necessary.  Otherwise you’re just kind of floating around and you won’t get through. Especially for the tougher ones. The Universe (or however you look at it) needs to know why so it can send you ways to get it that will become... Read More

We always talk about bugout bags, survival kits, and the like (we meaning the entire preparedness community). But I don’t think we spend enough time talking about E+E – or Escape and Evasion. These are items which need to be considered in the event of unlawful detainment, and could be lifesaving in an emergency. While... Read More
