Whether you consider yourself a novice or pro when it comes to lock picking, there’s no denying that everyone needs to keep up their skill-set without damaging their house locks.
Today we’re going to show you how to build an inexpensive lock pick practice set for less than $40 that will rival the stands, kits and sets that cost three times that.
With just a quick trip to Home Depot, you’ll be on your way to creating your own set to work with and ensure that the next time you’re locked out of your house, you’ll be able to get back in! [Read More…]

As you’ve no doubt heard us reference on ITS Tactical, we follow the TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) Guidelines very closely and have designed our ETA Kit around them.
Tactical Combat Casualty Care (Pronounced “T-Triple C”) is a set of guidelines developed by USSOCOM (United States Special Operations Command) to properly train non-medics to deal with the preventable causes of death in the field.
The latest updates for 2010 are out and we wanted to share them with you; The only change since the November 2009 updates is new material on hypothermia prevention.
Prior to these updates, the 2009 TCCC stated that WoundStat had been removed as a secondary hemostatic agent, which left QuikClot Combat Gauze and the primary and only hemostatic agent recommended.
We’ve posted the updated 2011 guidelines in their entirety here, but also have them available in .pdf format for download. [Read More…]

Amateur radio consists of a series of radio frequency bands designated internationally for public, non-commercial use. Various types of information can be transmitted over the bands, such as voice, video, and digital data.
A doorway to the world, amateur radio can be used to communicate with people both local and distant. Even off-planet communications are possible, as the astronauts in the International Space Station (ISS) maintain an amateur radio station!
Since the invention of radio, amateur operators — often referred to as hams — have been on the airwaves, constantly pushing the technology. Hams are responsible for not only many advances in radios themselves, but also in satellite communications (hams regularly launch their own satellites, called Orbiting Satellites Carrying Amateur Radio or OSCARs) and digital computers.

Today we’re going to get into the third installment of our five part Every Day Carry series that suggests a structured approach to creating EDC kits for the home, our vehicle, our place of employment and to be carried on our person.
In the previous installment, a security threat assessment was conducted for three limited areas of interest: crime; vehicle breakdown; and severe weather. Using my lifestyle as an example, these three “vertical slices” were examined in detail to show how the process I’m suggesting can help create kits that are useful to respond to what we reasonably believe to be serious threats to our well being – matters that threaten our security, safety and health. (For an overview of the suggested analytical process, see the first installment in this series.)
In this article, I’ll take each threat element and create what I consider to be reasonable responses. The purpose of knowing the likely responses is to help us determine what tools, resources and supplies will be needed to effectively respond to the threats. This will form the basis for selecting candidate tools, resources and supplies for inclusion in our every day carry kits. [Read More…]

I’m stoked today to announce that Operation Outpost is LIVE! If you haven’t heard of the awesome resource that is Op Outpost, allow me to fill you in.
I first heard about the project when Brent Piatti, President of Op Outpost, and I were talking on Twitter late last year. The project was just getting off the ground and the Website was under construction.
All I knew about Op Outpost is that it was going to be a resource for our troops downrange to be able to buy, sell, trade, and receive donated items that would in turn help to increase their quality of life overseas.
Little did I know how much I would become involved in the project… [Read More…]

I’ll admit I’m a bit of an organizational freak, but my wife and those that know me would probably say that’s an understatement. With that being the case, I knew I had to get one of 215 Gear’s Custom Tactical Bags to organize my entry tools.
The Custom Tactical Bag is the Gucci of entry tool bags. Nowhere have I seen a more comprehensive and modular way to carry method of entry equipment on the market today. Up until now, it’s been limited to throwing everything in a big bag, or trying to come up with your own velcro panels to mount all those little items.
While purpose built for carrying entry tools, the Custom Tactical Bag is functional enough to be used for just about anything, including medical supplies or EOD tools. [Read More…]

We try not to get into politics here and save those kind of discussions for our Facebook page, but I’d like to steer off course for a moment and urge everyone to exercise their Constitutional right to vote on or before November 2nd.
I’m an NRA Member and while I feel everyone who cares about their Second Amendment rights should be too, this isn’t a plea to get anyone to join. This is to support candidates in the November election who have received the NRA’s endorsement. This is based solely on a candidate’s support of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. [Read More…]
