Equipment List

The following list are general recommendations that will accommodate the majority of the courses that are offered. We recommend that you bring / carry what you do everyday whether it is job related from a military or law enforcement perspective, or from a prepared citizen's perspective. If you have a "Go Bag", "BOB", "GOOD kit", etc., bring it! We enjoy comparing notes and encourage show and tell between instructors and participants on what folks carry on a daily basis and why. If you need clarification on the particular course that you are participating in, please don't hesitate to contact us.
