A while back the folks at BudK sent me a M48 Kommando Tactical Tomahawk to review. This was a first for me having never really been a tomahawk, hatchet or ax guy. It was fun out testing it and I might have to give some more hatchets a try in the future. I had thought about being cheesy and shooting video of me destroying watermelons with it but decided not to. Maybe in the future. I did use it to do some practical functions and I’ll tell you how it did in those tests.
I was watching some videos on YouTube the other day and saw a neat trick from James Yeager. He took some sticky back industrial strength Velcro and used it to attach an SOE shotgun card to his shot gun. My first thought was that thing looks super simple, I’ll just grab some Velcro and elastic and make a shotgun card. I figured it would be a nice DIY article. If you notice the title though this is not a DIY article but a review of the SOE card. That’s because my project failed miserably. The thread kept breaking in the Velcro. After a few hours of frustration I decided to order the SOE ones. When I saw the quality of the SOE ones I knew that ones I had tried to make would have been crap compared to them anyway. So instead today I’ll be reviewing the SOE 12 gauge card and how to make a quick and easy side saddle.
I got a surprise in the mail yesterday from the folks at LaraBar. They just launched a new line of bars called ALT. It’s the first bar’s they’ve released with added protein. Unlike other protein bars on the market they are using peas as a protein source. While these bars, unlike the regualr ones, these are not 100% paleo approved. The peas being legumes keep them from being paleo however they are still way more healthy that a cliff bar and delicious. The bars have 10g of protein, 9 ingredients, are Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Non-Gmo, Kosher and Vegan. With the facts down lets get down to the bars.
