The Maxpedition Kodiak Gearslinger is an outstanding bag suitable for many different uses. There were three different, but related roles that I wanted to test it in: everyday carry, outdoor/hiking, and tactical. I found good performance in every role I put it in, and I think it can be easily pressed into most roles imaginable. Separate bags dedicated and specialized for each of those roles certainly would have done better, but if you can only afford one quality bag, and you need to fill multiple roles, this Kodiak Gearslinger does an excellent job.
The Kodiak comes in several different colors, including Black, OD Green, Khaki, Foliage Green, Khaki-Foliage, and ACU camo (this review features a Foliage Green sample). It also comes in an "S-Type" version, with all pockets and features mirrored for left-hand use.

I've been a big fan of the Victorinox Cadet since I began carrying it a few months ago, but I've been a big fan of the Leatherman Squirt PS4 for much longer. This may be an apples to oranges comparison, but since these two tools fill a very similar role, I think it's worth determining which one is a better pocket muli-tool.

This competition was a blast, guys, and I couldn't have asked for a better opponent. Tune in to watch.
BladeHQ invited myself and Crocket out for a competition video involving multi-tools, impromptu target building, and shooting. We both had a blast, but only one of us got the title. Find out how the contest went this Thursday!

Time to get out the 12 Guage Remington 870 Pump-action shotgun for some 00 Buck patterning! In addition to briefly sharing an idea for a Shotgun-centric "Minute-man Rig", in this video I test and pattern 3 brands of 12 Guage 00 Buckshot.
The three ammo types I'm trying are Federal Premium - available at your neighborhood Walmart, Rio Royal Buck - which is priced very attractively, and lastly the standard Gov't Issue ammo that our US military uses (from what I understand) - picked up at Cabela's.
I pattern these three ammo brands at distances of 7 yards, 15 yards, and 25 yards, and discover some interesting things about how it spreads, and what the effective range might be. I hope you find this test useful, and please draw your own conclusions from the data I present.
