The 4 things I have to have at all times
RFID Wallet
Stores it all. Blocks electronic signals and attempts to steal your info. Perfection.
Streamlight 66608 Microstream
Small and bright. Easy to carry with the included pocket clip. If you can carry a knife, you can carry this.
Tactical Pen
An all-in-one tool. What else do I need to say?
Oakley Gascans
Eyes up at all times. Head on a swivel. Keep the rays out and stay sharp.
Leatherman Wave
It’s better to have more tools than necessary, than not have any tools at all.
Spring ’24
Gear up for the warmer weather
Featured item: Fix-it sticks
Fix-It Sticks. The all-around tool kit no matter your needs. From the shooting range to the home garage, this kit has it all.
My personal favorite is the ratcheting kit, but they have kits of all kinds including a firearm field kit.
Flatline Ops Sniper-X Level
Balanced Perfection.
Don’t set up your next long-range rifle without one. The level flips over and is magnetic. Worth every penny.
Sitka Jetstream Jacket
Stay warm. Stay dry. Stay hidden. Nobody makes gear like Sitka does. This jacket will keep you warm and dry no matter the elements.
Holosun HE507C 32 MOA Red Dot Pistol Sight
Stay sharp with this 32 MOA reflex red dot for your favorite pistol. It has a 32 MOA circle for larger targets, and a 2 MOA for pinpoint accuracy. Plus, it’s got solar to keep that battery charged.
Salomon Speedcross 6
Waterproof. Colorful. Comes in Men’s and Women’s.
The most comfortable outdoor shoe I’ve ever worn. So comfortable I wear them to work and constantly get compliments on them.
summer ’24
Rule your backyard BBQ like a KING
Shark BBQ Tongs
Grip it and grill it like a professional. These tongs are high quality and makes flipping even the fattest steak a breeze.
Spiceology Seasoning
Seasoning meat is a science. It’s proven. Go with the experts and level up your BBQ game.
My favorite: Bourbon Prime (Makes wonderful baby back ribs)
Burn Pitt BBQ
Veteran owned. Award winning. Try the variety pack and pick your favorite. Great on ribs and chicken.
My favorite: Pop-Smoke Memphis Rub on pulled pork
Get Sh!t Done Coffee
Even in the heat of the summer I still need to be caffeinated. My man Frank Sell has got me covered with the cold brew that is on point!
Dairy free. Only 100 calories. My go-to summer beverage.
Vacuum Sealer
If you are doing it right, there won’t be leftovers. But if you deal, seal them up and freeze it with this excellent commercial grade vacuum sealer. Amazon also offers plastic by the roll so you can custom make the sizes you need.
Traeger Pro Series 575
Grill it, smoke it, roast it. Traeger is all in one.
Download their app and check on the library of recipes from professional pitmasters around the world and step your BBQ game up!
Dualie Drink Koozie
Keep your drinks cold. Doesn’t matter what it is. Nobody likes warm drinks when it’s 100 degrees out.
Comes in a variety of colors no matter your style.
Chef Drew Ward Recommendation: Gray Kunz Spoon
It’s not just a spoon. Army veteran and Corporate Executive Chef Drew Ward says every chef needs one in the kitchen. From serving to tasting, it’s the ultimate tool.
fall ’24
Boot the weather and stay warm
Firewood Rack
Mobile so you can stack it high and stay warm. Wheels allow for easy rolling between your home and outdoor firepit.
Vinyl Record Holder
Light the fire, drop the needle, sit back and relax. Nothing beats ZZ Top or your favorite band on vinyl. Collect even more records with this snazzy organizer.
Aeropress Coffee Brewer
The legendary brewing method for that warm cup of joe.
Salomon X-Ultra Boots
The most comfortable boots. Salomon makes them for the men and the ladies. So if you buy one pair–buy a second for your significant other or kiddos. You won’t be dissapointed.
Snakeriver Coffee
Can’t go wrong with Snakeriver Roasting. If you check them out, they have a good dark roast. My favorite is Kirby’s First Tram.
Smooth and chocolately, just like a good dark roast should be.
TIMEMORE Coffee Grinder
You can spend a lot of money on coffee gear. That includes grinders. This one is used daily in my home and works just as well as grinders double and triple the price.
Rogue River Coffee Mug
Keep it hot.
Pledge to the coffee gods with this patriotic Pledge of Allegiance coffee mug from Rogue River.
Go now.
WDT Tool
Nobody likes chunks in their grounds, so break them up with this simple tool. Used commonly with espresso, the WDT works for any brew.

Hello !
Are you the Jeff Clark of Clark Tactical Solutions ? I would love to find a handful of those plastic pads that snap on to an AR15’s ejection port cover. I got two of them years ago, one for a Windham and one for a DD. Since then I have “acquired” some more rifles. The pads seem to be unavailable now. Please ignore this message if you aren’t that guy 🙂
Have a great week !
Afraid not, my friend. But they sound awesome. I hope you find them!
