Although I want to keep a certain standard of quality I will count on friends' efforts and donations of information and media to provide a wide assortment of resources. On that note, please feel free to contact me if you have anything you'd like to share.
If you are a gear company small or big, I'm always on the lookout for new great stuff. If you send something my way I'll be sure and photo document your product to your liking, to use as you wish, and give a honest review.

Alright, I finally have most of the shotshow 2009 junk up to show now. I've been trying to catch up with everything and also had a chance to take the Tactical Response Force on Force class. It was a life changing event that I'll be sure and further debrief later.

My buddies at LAPG wanted to put word on the street of some upcoming 5.11 pant/shorts collabs. I'd say they are worth checking out. They offer some new functionalities and address some classic 5.11 issues.
