Which tactical belt to choose? - comparison

When writing a blog about choosing a tactical belt, we immediately had in mind that all the features listed there will be worth referring to specific examples.

KA-BAR 1217 - A legend in a contemporary version

In the history of knives produced today, there will certainly be a few icons, which with their uniqueness or well-thought-out design are remembered by users. Models such as Benchmade Osborne, Spyderco Military or ESEE Izula have gained market recognition, as evidenced not only by their extremely high sales, but also a specific envelope of fans and a wide market of aftermarket accessories. Few knife models, however, can boast of such a long history and an imprint on the historical background, such as the KA-BAR USMC Fighting / Utility Knife.

EDC backpack up to 30 liters

EDC backpack up to 30 liters

A compact backpack is an item that everyone needs - it's rather difficult to argue with. Whether for everyday use or for holidays, weekend trips, etc., a small backpack - say up to 30 L - will be an invaluable support. A bag or briefcase in formal cases or simply less sporty clothes will probably be more stylistically appropriate. But if we can afford the most comfortable solutions, we will probably choose a backpack - its carrying system is simply much better suited to carrying the weight.

Tactical cap - which one to choose?

On the heads of special unit operators and sports shooters we have long seen classic baseball caps. Despite their versatility, usefulness and aesthetics, they do not find their way into the elements of the official uniform in any army, being displaced by patrol boats - probably due to production costs. However, what fits the head of an Marine Corps soldier or a South American dictator will not necessarily be suitable for a sports shooter. Therefore, we invite you to a short description of more interesting solutions found in baseball caps based on the offer of SpecShop.pl

Durability of ballistic spectacles

Durability of ballistic spectacles

Ear and eye protectors should be the basic equipment of every shooter. Unlike hearing protectors, which operation we feel all the time, eye protection may seem definitely less important to some.

Which airgun for beginners?

Which airgun for beginners?

With such an large spectrum of airgun models - power sources, stocks, calibers and manufacturers - it is initially difficult to assess which model will be consistent with our needs and expectations. As a rule, starting our adventure with pneumatic shooting, we are looking for models with a strictly recreational purpose. Beginners, however, often pay attention to features that do not fully determine the value of an airgun. Of course, the personal taste of the shooter is very important, as you know, we largely buy with our eyes, and the satisfaction from buying will not be full if the air gun is not also visually attractive. That is why in this blog we will try to tell you what to pay attention to when buying your first rifle.

What hammock for field trips?

What hammock for field trips?

Hammock is the most used bed in South America and the Caribbean. It came to Europe thanks to Christopher Columbus, who came across this unusual invention during his trips. Why did a hammock in those areas become such a popular form of bed? We can distinguish two issues here.

DIY hygenic mask without sewing

The Polish government's directive demands covering the nose and mouth comes into force on Thursday, March 16, 2020. Because the warrant does not require the use of approved filters, we can use virtually any appropriately large piece of material for the mask design. Various companies began to produce their own reusable masks, which seems to be right with current demand. We, however, encourage you to use already owned materials so that after the wave of the virus we are not flooded with wave of unnecessary waste.

Recent days have prompted us to radically change our habits and the overall of everyday life. Inconsistent guidelines on protective procedures make it difficult to determine what specific behaviors will be best for our health.
