Aaron “Rad” Radl, a name already familiar to SOFREP readers as the host of SOFREP Radio, is stepping up to take the reins at SOFREP’s sister site, The Loadout Room. With his extensive military background and deep understanding of tactical gear, firearms, and survival skills, Rad is the perfect fit to lead the charge into the next chapter of The Loadout Room, SOFREP’s hardcore gear and adventure website.

Not to worry, though, fans of SOFREP Radio, Rad will still be hosting our award-winning podcast in addition to his new responsibilities.
Here he is cracking up long time friend of SOFREP and former SAS operator Big Phil Campion as a guest on Phil’s podcast, “The Debrief”.
Rad brings with him a wealth of experience, not just from his service but also from years of writing and reviewing the very gear that The Loadout Room covers. For 18 years, Rad has been the owner/operator of Tactical Airsoft Supply in Salt Lake City, Utah. He knows his stuff.
He has been a trusted voice in our community, providing honest, no-nonsense reviews and insights that have helped countless readers make informed decisions about their equipment choices. His leadership will undoubtedly inject new life into the site, driving it to become an even more authoritative source for tactical gear enthusiasts. He’s put together a team of gear reviews with years of experience with firearms, knives, all sorts of kit, and all things badass and interesting.
Under Rad’s direction, readers can expect a continued commitment to quality content, with a focus on providing comprehensive reviews, practical advice, and hands-on experiences with the latest gear. Whether you’re looking for the best EDC knife or the latest advancements in tactical tech, Rad’s expertise, along with reviews from yours truly Army Ops Officer Guy D. McCardle, and site favorite Navy Veteran Fred “Garfield” Rowlands, ensures that The Loadout Room remains the go-to destination for anyone interested in serious gear reviews and tactical insights.
Rad’s vision for The Loadout Room is clear: to build a community where like-minded individuals can share their knowledge, experiences, and passion for all things tactical. He aims to foster a space where gearheads, veterans, and outdoor enthusiasts alike can come together to learn, discuss, and engage with the content that matters most to them. And just to make certain things never start to go sideways, the site is overseen by former Navy SEAL and SOFREP founder Brandon Webb.
