Tactical Inferno is now 2 years old! The first year the site was live, I didn’t really create a lot of content. However, this year I was able to set time aside to create more content and it was very rewarding. As the end of the fiscal year draws near, naturally I’ve posted less. Fiscal…
I began to desire a small mission bag after conducting combat operations in a particular manner that required much lower profiles than what the USGI bags offered. It was something I fully intended on custom ordering from one of the shops I frequent. Until recently the ASAP was one of the only bags that fit…
This topic concerns specifically two ZT knives, The 700 and 630SKD. A denizen requested for me to comment on these knives so I figured I would make it into a post instead of a lengthy missive sent through email. There are some pretty huge difference, but overall their pretty similar simply because they carry the…
As of late May 2016, TeslaCrypt, a manufacturer of ransomware, shut down their command and control network and released the master decryption key for TeslaCrypt versions 3.0 & 4.0. Victims of the ransomware are even being directed to a splash screen containing the master decryption key instead of instructions on how to pay the ransom…
I had a brief encounter with an Emerson PSARK. The following is what I ultimately noticed about the knife. The knife comes in a pretty thin walled little box, as pictured, with a fold out advertisement card. The hardware used to assemble the knife are all flathead or phillips head screws. This can be seen…
Finally hammering this last part of the review out was important. I’ve been caught up in work lately but wanted to take some time out of my Sunday to do it. I think most of the relevant and important information one needs to know about the site is already available in the interview. Despite that…
If you are like me, Twitter is one of the only SOCMED accounts you own. I’ve owned/own multiple over the course of years for various reasons all surrounding the intention to collect information or OSINT. Being able to quickly and effectively streamline your consumption of news without relying on aggregates or third parties (Stratfor) is…
This post is dedicated to the VEP’s function as a backpack. When I was shopping around for a small 24hr pack I found no clear photographs of the backpack straps or any information on the viability of it being used as a dedicated backpack. I wanted to replace my current Mystery Ranch ASAP as my…
I wanted to write a little bit from the perspective of someone who doesn’t have the legal authority to carry a push button folding machete with blood grooves and gut hooks. The blade on the Kershaw Cryo is 2.75″ which puts this knife solidly in the realm of legal carry in most places (CONUS). Obviously…
I wanted to share something that was a personal journey for me as a security professional. It took me months of combat operations to realize that sweat running down my face was not congruent or helpful to what I was trying to achieve. At the time I was not issued, nor were the PX stores…
