It’s a simple topic but one that can always be updated as the times change. Today we take a moment to discuss different types of Go-bags / 3 day assault packs and how I would pack one (generally). You can purchase the Cannae Assault Pack HERE. This article is courtesy of The Loadout Room. 

No one likes to hear about accidental or negligent discharges (depending on your school of thought, those two are one in the same), particularly when they result in someone’s death. The case of a 24-year-old Detroit woman who was killed when she hugged an off-duty policeman at a party—the embrace discharging his IWB holstered .40 Smith & […]

While many of America’s war fighters come to terms with the concept of dying in a firefight well before they actually set boots on the ground, there are no shortages of other risks to the lives of those we send into harm’s way in defense of our nation.  Recent headlines have made it frighteningly clear […]

I attached the picture of a gunshot wound to this article not to shock, but to give you a glimpse of a possible future. Don’t be that guy bleeding. Know how to clear your guns and do it as though your health and financial welfare depended upon it. Know the rules of gun safety.   […]

People often ask me, “What is the best first aid kit?” That depends on what you are doing. If what you are doing is shooting, getting shot at or at risk of trauma, the best first aid kit is the SHIELD from MyMedic. The Shield a small light one patient kit that goes on your belt or […]

As I write this, Hurricane Irma is making landfall at the tip of Southern Florida.  Here in Georgia, current projections say my home, and family, are lucky enough to not get hit by the storm at its most powerful, but it’s now tracking to be a Category 3, hopefully a 2, upon its arrival in […]

As Texas and Louisiana struggle to recover from the massive destruction brought about by Hurricane Harvey, another state in the southern U.S. is now bracing for the arrival of the massive storm Hurricane Irma, and the military is no exception. As of Wednesday morning, Hurricane Irma has already become a Category 5 storm, and the […]

“Victory comes to the one who fires the largest number of well-aimed shots against his opponent in the shortest time…Shooting at random over the ground occupied by the enemy accomplishes nothing.” WWII War Department translation of The German Squad in Combat. The fundamentals of marksmanship are simple: align the sights on the target and then press […]

I’m an advocate of training in your gear and training more than just shot placement and distance. Gear adds a unique challenge to shooting. Shooting a tight Failure-to-Stop drill slick at 25m in under 2 seconds can be simple. However, add a helmet and plates and you’ll find that getting a solid cheek weld and […]

Hurricane Harvey brought with it torrential downpours, historic flooding, and utter devastation for many communities in Texas and Louisiana, but fortunately for the residents of many in the affected regions, a different kind of flood soon followed: an outpouring of volunteers, donations, and support from Americans of all walks of life.
