Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best Benchmade knives for EDC?

For EDC, the Mini Griptilian is often preferred over the standard Griptilian due to its more manageable size. While the Bugout is popular, its price has increased significantly. The Mini Freeluk is considered superior but is more expensive. The Griptilian's blade shape is noted as being better than the Bugout's for general use.

What's the difference between emergency blankets and wool blankets for preparedness?

Emergency (Mylar) blankets are good for short-term use, like preventing shock after an accident for about an hour. Wool blankets are more durable, reusable, washable, and better for longer-term preparedness or situations where the blanket might be subjected to rougher conditions.

Where can veterans find good deals on tactical gear?

Veterans can find discounts on websites like Shop My Exchange (requires military/active duty status) and GovX (requires veteran or first responder status). LA Police Gear is also recommended for its strong military discounts and quality products.

Why are side-switches preferred over tail-switches on flashlights for EDC?

Side-switches on flashlights are preferred for EDC, especially in dynamic situations like riding a one-wheel, because they allow for immediate activation with minimal hand movement. This is crucial for maintaining balance or quickly deploying light without compromising stability or focus.
