Tactical pants may be considered cargo pants, but cargo pants are not necessarily tactical pants. When you take a closer look, it’s clear that tactical pants are tailored for action. They’re meant to help individuals protect and defend, similar to a sidearm or weapon of choice. With tactical pants, durability is key. That is why they are often reinforced with bar-tacks, gussets, and sometimes even bulletproof material, such as DuPont Teflon. In addition to polyester, polycotton ripstop, and DuPont Teflon, these pants should also contain sturdy belt loops that can support a hefty sidearm. Tacti ..read more

When I decided to go back to school, I saw the pamphlet for emergency medicine and thought I should give it a go. Fast ..read more

We need to have this conversation. In fact, everyone needs to have this conversation and finally bring to light some very disturbing facts: Firefighter/EMS suicides are outnumbering line of duty deaths. It’s time to talk about first responder mental health. We are only a couple of weeks into this New Year, and we have lost three of our brothers and sisters in the line of duty. But what’s more sobering is the fact that we have lost an additional four to suicide. Some even posted goodbye messages on Facebook before taking their own lives. No one really knows when the trend started, but it’s been ..read more
