latest survival preparedness articles + gear reviews

I’m Eric, the voice behind Rugged Man. I live in the northwest mountains of the U.S. where I like to spend my time hunting, fishing, building, exploring, and preparing. I love rugged gear. I buy rugged gear. I put rugged gear to the test. I hope this site provides you with some level of entertainment, but more importantly, detailed and useful information about the gear you’re looking to invest your hard-earned dollar in so that you don’t waste your time and money. Thanks for stopping by!
