The SP-8 from Ontario isn’t like any machete you’ve ever seen. It’s a monster. And it chews through brush and thickets like a monster who is only hungry for brambles, saplings, and a clear path in the bush.

We had heard the word that Navy SEALs used the Luminox watch—so we purchased one to review and put to the test. It has been 3 months of testing in the field and it has not broken yet. I picked up the watch for $189 on Amazon. REVIEW I’m not sure I don’t like it,... Read More

I recently got the chance to check out another Werkz holster – the M2. This one is for my trusty and oh-so-compact G26. It’s kind of hard to find a good holster for such a small CCW. They’re either inaccesibly low riding, or they print as much as a full size – so what’s the... Read More

Up for review today we have a weapons case from 5ive Star Gear, the PWC-5s Multi Weapon Case. This case is all the case you need, for half the money of the regular brands. SGPT breaks down this product with details and gives you the pros and cons. From that point you can make a... Read More

By Alexander Castiglione The fitness world is full of gimmicks. And in local news, water is wet. But I assume if you’re reading this, you’re not about the gimmicks. You’re not about the “8 minutes a day” shenanigans. And you’re definitely aware that there is no pill for physical excellence – just good old-fashioned hard... Read More

Shoes are obviously a very subjective and personal thing. I mean, everyone has different feet, a different stride, and a method of movement. That’s pretty obvious. What wasn’t obvious to me was that 5.11 makes awesome shoes – not just boots, gear, and plate carriers. That has obviously changed. I was highly impressed with these... Read More

There is something about a shoulder holster that is iconic. Maybe it’s got that allure from the movies I grew up on in the 80’s and 90’s, especially for a Beretta 92. Bruce Willis, Jean Claude Van Damme, Mel Gibson and the characters they portrayed all rocked that leather shoulder rig and full size Beretta,... Read More

By Alexander Castiglione Every headline seems to be a new shooting or a new inspired attack. And if you’re reading this, you’re probably erring on the side of caution. You probably like to be prepared. Us too. In today’s world, you need to be ready. You need to have a go bag. If you can... Read More

We got our hands on a SOG S30V, and in this author’s humble opinion, it just might be the perfect EDC knife. Let me say that again – this knife is nearly perfect for EDC. It boasts an aluminum handle, with carbon fiber inserts, accenting the 3.6 inch S30V steel blade (with a RC of 58-60... Read More

You’re probably getting tired of us telling you that you need to have a medkit. Well too bad. You need to. In your car, your go bag, in your office, and probably even on your person, you need to have the ability to patch holes, control bleeds, and save life. We’re not just talking about... Read More

Good things come in small packages. Cliches are cliches for a reason, and the DE-01 lives up to that particular cliche. At a scant 3.8 inches overall and a 5.2 ounces, it’s even smaller than the DE-03 – the AA version in the dark energy series of tactical illumination. This little guy has more output... Read More

Retention knives and quick deployment back up blades seem to be all the rage lately. As they should be. Think about it, whats the point of pulling out a knife if you can easily drop it when you need it most. Similarly, what’s the point of carrying that massive KaBar is you take a year... Read More
