Let me start off by throwing in a caveat, I’m not an elite runner.
I never ran in high school or college, nor am I truly any type of physiologist or scientist.
I have however, over the past few years, taken a bigger interest in running, combined it with my longstanding interest in learning about human performance, and believe that I have learned a few things along the way that I can share. Continue reading

For this week’s Knot of the Week, we’d like to introduce the Monkey’s Fist.
The last two weeks we’ve been discussing Decorative Knots, and while the Monkey’s Fist is often used to finish off decorative knot work, it also has another more common practical application.
Primarily the Monkey’s Fist is tied ton the end of a rope to be used as a heaving line, or a line to be thrown over distance. This heaving line could then be attached to a larger or heavier line and pulled into position. Continue reading

Author and historian Stephen Pressfield has recently published a video blog called “War & Reality in Afghanistan.”
Pressfield makes a remarkable comparison between Alexander the Great’s Afghan campaign and our own war today, as well as offering unique insight into the underpinnings of this war on terror.
We’ve embedded the YouTube videos here so you can view all five episodes, but we’d encourage you to visit Pressfield’s blog as well.
He has continued to update his blog posts quite frequently and offers some very insightful information within each and every post.
Pressfield’s book, “Gates of Fire,” is something we all here at ITS Tactical feel should be required reading for anyone interested in any kind of military special programs. Continue reading
1/23/13 Update: AmmoEngine.com is currently offline and appears shut down.
An astute reader just sent in a great tip on a new Web site called AmmoEngine!
This site is truly awesome, it crawls the web automatically looking for the lowest prices on ammuntion and updates the site every morning around 3 a.m.
The site owner developed AmmoEngine because he was “tired of spending hours trying to pinch pennies on ammo purchases.”
Rimfire and shotgun ammo listings are not yet listed on the site, but are coming soon.
Now we have someone searching for the best deals on ammo for us while we sleep! So much for our post on online ammunition eh?
We’re excited to bring you our very first giveaway in our Reader Appreciation Contest!
To learn how you can be eligible to win, take a look at our contest rules.
Today we’re giving away a brand new HSGI Mini Modular Drop Leg Panel in Crye Precision Multicam!! Continue reading
In this article we’ll be putting everything together and show how to connect the ascender setup to the rope.

The reason it’s one of the most dangerous procedures is the fact that much like rappelling, it forces you to rely on your equipment and anchors 100%. Continue reading
