I decided once again to create something about the Petzl AP Hook, which is used in the EXO rescue system. The hook is designed for emergency evacuation from a burning building. I have repurposed it and will show one way to use the hook to anchor onto edges inside a building in order to rappel […]

I bought some squared timber to build an improvised door anchor for rappelling in urban environments. However, the untreated wood was very light in color. I wanted to avoid applying harsh or aggressive dyes, so I decided to try staining it with coffee. This simple method could also be great for DIY crafts or decorative […]

At this point, I’d like to showcase the color and infrared signature of a Schuberth combat helmet compared to a Busch PROtective helmet.

A monocular is a compact and lightweight tool to see, recognize, or assess things at a distance. For a long time, I had a small, inexpensive monocular until I lost it during a close-quarters exercise.
