This Dynamis collaboration with my friend Daniel Winkler is my favorite new tool of the past year.

I discovered Gatorz in 1998 at a motorcycle shop in San Diego while in my first SEAL platoon.  They accompanied me on every work-up and deployment and I’m still wearing them today, as is the protagonist of my novels.

Part of my travel coffee brew kit.  Designed by the veterans at BRCC.  Bomber construction!

For the archer in your life, this is a must!

I’d be hard pressed to think of a day when I’m not using something from my friends at SITKA Gear.

The Zeus portable charger is always in my pack.  Yes, it will keep your phone charged; it will also jump start your car.

A vicious blade from my friend and SEAL teammate Andrew Arrabito at Half Face Blades.  You might remember it from a particularly memorable chapter in The Terminal List.

Love what the 30 Seconds Out crew is doing in the mountains of Idaho.  Navy SEAL owned and operated.  Awesome!

A favorite of mine in the military and out.

A classic by the master.

My favorite Christmas Movie. “When I was nineteen, I did a guy in Laos from a thousand yards out…”. Oh, it’s also a sniper movie.

First published in 1956, this autobiographical Christmas short story by Truman Capote introduced me to whiskey, holiday fruitcakes, and the intoxicating power of eloquent prose.

Read.  Study.  Learn.

Mandatory for every American child’s bookshelf.  Parents, you might want to redact a word on the last page…

Exploding onto the scene with a terrorist attack on a European Christmas market and coming full circle to its climactic conclusion during the Yuletide season, True Believer is destined to become a holiday classic!

“Men who believed in freedom and good booze who laid down their lives, forging the bedrock of this republic, and in doing so, created a new species of man: the American.”  Veteran owned and operated.

For the most special of occasions, do not settle.  You will also find this full-bodied cabernet in the pages of Savage Son.  “You never really understand a man until you consider things from his point of view. . . Until you climb inside his skin and walk around in it.”  Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird

My beverage of choice as I finish editing my third novel in the James Reece saga, SAVAGE SON!  Check out Kill Cliff’s partnership with the Navy SEAL Foundation.

This pistol and the Sig P365 are my two go-to pistols for concealed carry.  Be prepared!

On my side every day.

A vital part of my everyday carry. SEAL designed. Master Bladesmith made.  A tribute to our friend and teammate Adam Brown.

I’ve tested quite a few “tactical pens” over the years and this one is at the top of my list.  The perfect stocking stuffer!

Illuminate the holiday with this pen light that will not break the bank. I always have a few at the ready.

If you wear a ring, make it a QALO, the hard use band that can take any and everything you can throw at it. Spec Ops and First Responder approved.
