Opening Day

Welcome to CARNAGE TACTICAL reviews. This is a Canadian based blog, set up to inform through testing, and review of a number of tactical products. No one wants to put out money, theirs or that of an organization, for protective gear and/or kit and end up wasting it on garbage.

The concept for the name is pretty simple. CARNAGE - represents all the training and deployments kit can go through in the real world that can tear it apart or scar it. TACTICAL - is the environment and use for the kit in question.

Situation:

The whole point of "CARNAGE TACTICAL" is to look at the military grade gear/kit being produced, and give an honest written review and some photos of that piece of equipment. It could be anything from boots and hats to lights and plate carriers. If there is enough interest, then I might add a forum to the blog. Right now, I'm still working on the graphics and recruiting some additional writers to help out.

So, it's safe to say we're going to need to set a base line to evaluate gear by, so every piece gets a fair shake. Here's how it's going to work.

Mission:

CARNAGE TACTICAL will provide honest non-biased reviews of gear/kit through legitimate and informed testing.

CARNAGE TACTICAL will test gear/kit until it dies from the CARNAGE it is exposed to or until the testing period is completed.

Execution:

CARNAGE TACTICAL will conduct the testing and evaluation of available tactical gear/kit in three phases. They are as follows.

Phase One - CARNAGE TACTICAL, will purchase, acquire through donation or just plain luck into pieces of gear/kit, photograph the gear/kit in question, inspect materials used and then produce a first impressions write up on it.

Phase Two - CARNAGE TACTICAL, will wear, use and abuse the gear/kit and give an interim review based on performance of the item with photos detailing scars after three to four months.

Phase Three - CARNAGE TACTICAL, will provide additional photos and produce a final review based on materials, construction, performance, fit and life expectancy. All will be rated out of ten. Zero being the lowest and ten being the highest result.
