Reviews - Packs, Bags & Pouches

IMG_7258cThere are times when I think I’m caught in the middle of the movie “Back To The Future.”  I’ll be bouncing along in my mid-fifties mindset when out of nowhere a new word or term will be added to the vocabulary.  One of the terms recently added is “Active Shooter", and Maxpedition has come up with a great solution for just such a scenario.

CamelBak TriZip Review

Reviews - Packs, Bags & Pouches

LeadaWithin minutes of opening the box I knew I was going to like the new CamelBak TriZip pack.  I had already looked at the features online, and everything looked good on paper.  Once I had the pack in hand, though, I was really able to make a better determination and my first impressions were very good.  It was immediately evident that this was a solid pack with some very well thought out features.

Sawtooth Mountain Bag

Reviews - Packs, Bags & Pouches

TimBrowning004aThe problem with having a lot of toys is that you have to find some way to tote all that stuff around.  The more guns and gear we have to take with us to the range or to camp, means that we need a good way to carry it all.  Browning understands our pain however and they have a whole line of gear bags designed to help out.  I recently have had the chance to try out one of their Sawtooth Mountain Bags and put it through its paces.  Browning makes three models in the Sawtooth Mountain line, a basic gear bag, and a medium and large duffle bag.  I had the Medium Duffle to work with.   The Medium Sawtooth Moutain Bag is constructed of Ballistic Nylon and a heavy duty 900 denier shell fabric and is available in the Mossy Oak “New Break Up” camouflage pattern with the distinctive Browning buck's head embroidered on the side of the bag in gold.
