  • Save someone's life from bleeding out with our first aid kit trauma kit.

    Being a dad has made me paranoid! Seriously I find myself daydreaming about such random bad things that could happen to me, my wife or my kids and I have no idea why!

    Anyway, it gave me enough drive to create a first aid kit and a first aid trauma kit to put my mind at a little more ease knowing if something did happen we can handle it until medical services and professionals get to us.

    Check out our first aid trauma kit here if you realize you don't actually have anything to be prepared: https://a.co/d/dZ0BS6I

    Thanks, Matt

  • Unpacking the Military Gear Arsenal: A Deeper Look into Tactical Gear and Ammunition Loadouts.

    A recentl became friends through golf, with a guy who served in the miltary and was in a specialised hiugh mechanised unit. These units were typically called in to blow things up and flatten areas for infantry men.

    Anthony was the communications guy but still had to be geared up with an m4, side arm and enough ammo to contribute to a potential threat.

    Here we talk a little about what he used to have to wear on a standard operation and as standard procedure.

    Enjoy.

  • Get to Know Your Ammo: A Basic Guide to 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP

    So Ill stick to my 9mm ammo for stock piling and ill go have some fun with the .45ACP haha

    1. 9mm: The 9mm is a popular cartridge for handguns due to its low recoil and high magazine capacity. It is an excellent choice for target shooting and self-defense, and is widely available and affordable.
    2. .40 S&W: The .40 S&W was developed in the 1980s as a compromise between the 9mm and .45 ACP cartridges. It offers a balance of stopping power and recoil, making it a good choice for self-defense and law enforcement applications.
    3. .45 ACP: The .45 ACP is a large, heavy cartridge known for its stopping power and terminal ballistics. It is a popular choice for self-defense, law enforcement, and military applications, but has more recoil and lower magazine capacity than other handgun cartridges.
    4. It's important to note that there are many other handgun cartridges available, and the choice between them often comes down to personal preference and the intended use of the firearm. Beginners should seek advice from experienced gun owners or firearms professionals before making a decision on which cartridge to use.

    5. Tactical Gear 101: A Beginner's Guide for Civilians

      I LOVE having tactical gear everywhere for my everyday lifestyle now!

      So before I was into tactical gear I would always need something like a better backpack, more compartments, multitool, knife or first aid things at some point throughout most days. Whether one of those items or not I always needed something that the world of tactical gear covered anyway. 

      Anyway here are just a few items that would help for personal protection and outdoor activities such as hiking, walking or camping.

      So many more to talk about in the future,

      Have a great day,

    7. Expert tips for controlling your gun & the arc of movement with your gun With OSS Tactical

      An aspect of shooting that many (including me prior to this) don't even consider is the movement we will have naturally as we hold a pistol and pull the trigger. We are not robots, or machines, we are human beings with a pulse so it is natural for us to have a slight movement that translates into a dispersion of shots that increases the further away from the target we are. 

      Example: Shooting at 3 feet the dispersion of shots is going to be pretty tight, but the same movement from 25 feet will translate into a much bigger dispersion of shots. 

      Thanks for listening,
