\"Father's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After two weeks (checks notes), make that three years to \u201cflatten the curve\u201d, Dad is grumpy, antsy, and ready for action. Help him out with a thoughtful present selected from this Father’s Day Gift Guide. As usual, every item profiled in this article is something I either use all the time or have personally tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Father's
Protect Dad’s Passport from RFID attacks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hack Me Not<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being cooped up for far too long, dad is ready to travel like a bird dog that\u2019s spent 16 hours in a dog trailer and a night in a crate. He\u2019s going to cast wide, likely internationally, so he will bring his passport. Don\u2019t let dad\u2019s identity get skimmed off his passport! Instead, protect it with the \u201cBattersea Shield<\/a>\u201d Passport Book from Celtic Shield. Named after the historically significant Celtic shield found in Britain, this metal wallet for your passport protects it from RFID attacks. Don\u2019t think this can happen to dad? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at the recent interview Shawn Ryan did on his show with former professional hacker Ryan Montgomery. View that video here<\/a> (skip to 15:40). One of Montgomery\u2019s pro tips to protect yourself from hackers is to use an RFID wallet. Your passport is just as vulnerable as your credit cards. I\u2019ve used a Celtic Shield RFID wallet for years and it\u2019s compact, durable, and effective. You may special order any engraving, but currently three configurations are available: plain black, US Passport engraved, and TOPO engraved ($155, $165, and $175 respectively). The company is owned and operated by service disabled veteran and all around great guy Ryan Soze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Father's
Load up and go with the 5.11 Tactical carry on bag.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let’s Roll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing dad needs for the road is the Load Up 22\u201d Carry On bag<\/a> from 5.11 Tactical. This 46L roller bag has rugged wheels and measures 22x11x9 inches. It features a retractable pull and other grab handles. While compact, there\u2019s enough room for an overnight getaway with mom or a quick business trip. The 1050D nylon is tough and durable and the molded EVA hardshell will protect what\u2019s inside. A padded laptop section and zippered compartments will keep dad organized during his mission. $205 in ranger green or volcano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Father's
Chest packs are handy for many things, including predator calling!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chest Rig<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that trip dad is going on has anything to do with coyote hunting, as it should, then get him the 5.11 Skyweight Survival Chestpack<\/a>. You could use this pack for a variety of purposes, but I have found that chest packs are very convenient for coyote calling. This 6x10x1.75 inch pack offers a liter of volume in the main pocket. That\u2019s plenty of room for a remote for an electronic predator call. There are several elastic loops inside for hand calls, a knife, a candy bar, or whatever. The loop material on the inside panel supports a CCW option as well. The outside MOLLE on the front and bottom allow attachment of more things, such as a tourniquet. The 330D ripstop nylon is tough enough for this job without being too loud. The breathable padded panel next to your chest is well thought out. The straps offer wide adjustment and can be removed for use with a waist pack or belt configuration. $45 in green, volcano, or brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Father's
The AlphaTerra boot by Lacrosse is super comfortable and they love the mud.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tough Mudder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If dad\u2019s travels take him to the mud, as they should, then kit him out with the Lacrosse AlphaTerra<\/a> 6 inch boot. I\u2019ve been testing these for a few months, and I\u2019ve loved them from the start. They are so comfortable I forgot I had boots on when I worked on an offroad bumper installation for several hours. It seemed like I was wearing sneakers. They feel that good, and they are waterproof. This neoprene and rubber boot has a soft lining, an EVA footbed, and side zipper entry. The structure of the boot\u2019s base gives ample support for all day comfort. The outsole is aggressively lugged for great traction. $150<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Father's
The Kryptek Juniper jacket (left and center) is waterproof and packable. The Kryptek Tartaros hoodie (right) will be Dad’s favorite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Functional Camo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If dad lives anywhere it rains, like I do, he will love the Kryptek Jupiter Jacket<\/a>. This waterproof rain shell is 100% seam taped and has an adjustable hood. Other features include zippered hand pockets and an elastic hem drawstring. The shell is lightweight, stuffs into its pocket, and compact enough that it stows easily in dad\u2019s truck, boat, or UTV. The cuffs are adjustable and Velcro secured. What does a writer do when he gets a rain shell to test? He jumps into the shower and tests it out. I\u2019m happy to report it is indeed waterproof. Perhaps the most overlooked feature of waterproof rain shells is ventilation. The Jupiter jacket has pit zips! This is a well-constructed and smartly thought-out piece of gear. Highly recommend at $99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wherever dad may live, he will appreciate the Kryptek Tartaros Hoodie<\/a>. Fair warning \u2013 this thing is so comfortable he probably won\u2019t take it off. If dad casually wears camo or if he\u2019s a hard-core hunter he will appreciate the new Obskura Skyfall pattern. Made with a stretchy 100% polyester fabric, the Tartaros can be a standalone around camp hoodie or part of a layering system. $69.99<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Father's
Brace yourself: there are are many reasons to have a membership in the Second Amendment Foundation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Second Amendment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad has guns, he likes guns, and he is an unwavering supporter of the second amendment. As such you can really make his day by getting him a membership in the Second Amendment Foundation<\/a>. The SAF aggressively defends our God given right to keep and bear arms, codified by the second amendment of the United States Constitution. Through legal action and education the SAF has been very successful in defending our 2A rights. Need another reason? If dad has a pistol brace then dad will be interested to know that per SAF, U.S. District Judge Jane J. Boyle recently clarified her recent Preliminary Injunction Order related to the ATF pistol brace ban. She wrote, \u201cThe Court confirms that its Preliminary Injunction Order applies to both the Second Amendment Foundation, Inc. and its members.\u201d  As a result of this clarification SAF membership skyrocketed to the extent their website crashed. If dad is already a member of SAF you can still make a 501(c)(3) donation in his name and thereby Make Father\u2019s Day Great Again. Annual membership $15, five year $50, and lifetime membership $150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reading is Fundamental<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad is smart and because of that he doesn\u2019t spend every waking moment looking at a screen. Dad reads books, you know, the things that can\u2019t be stealthy edited online or woke-rewritten. Books expand the mind and calm the soul. Below are two suggestions for dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Father's
Red Platoon is an outstanding account of true American valor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Red Platoon<\/a> is a book written by Medal of Honor recipient Clint Romesha. The book takes the reader through life in Combat Outpost Keating in eastern Afghanistan leading up to and during the desperate battle for its control. This is a firsthand account of the worst and the best of our military \u2013 the former being the horrible decision by military brass to locate Keating where it was, and the latter being ordinary men doing extraordinary things to help each other survive those dire circumstances. The story is absolutely riveting. I\u2019ve read the book several times and have watched the movie, The Outpost, based on the same intense battle. While the movie is good, the book is better. Five out of five stars for sure. I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Romesha at SHOT Show one year and found him to be generous and humble. I can\u2019t imagine what he and his brothers went through, but I can read about it and appreciate their sacrifice. So can your dad. Get him this book. $18 Penguin Random House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Father's
Dad will love a copy of 13 Hours in Benghazi for Father’s Day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The book, 13 Hours In Benghazi<\/a>, is an inside account of what really happened starting the night of September 11, 2012 at the US State Department Special Mission Compound and the nearby CIA Annex. Like Red Platoon, 13 Hours is a firsthand account of a fierce battle. And like Red Platoon, 13 Hours showcases the worst and the best of our military. The worst, again, was exhibited by our leaders. The best, again, is played out by ordinary men doing what they had to do to save the man next to him. The movie 13 Hours in Benghazi is quite good, and this book is equally as good. This is another five out of five stars. I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to meet some of the survivors of this battle. Simply because nearly 11 years have gone by doesn\u2019t mean we should forget. To paraphrase one of the bad leaders involved here \u201cat this point it makes every difference.\u201d Remember the sacrifices made. Get dad this book. $29 in hardcover at Barnes & Noble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Father's
Buy Dad ammo. Repeat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reload!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dad needs ammunition regardless of how much he has currently. This is for two reasons: first, ammo is a consumable so you always need to be replenishing supply; second, with all the Draconian unconstitutional laws being pushed by the Leftists you better buy it before you can\u2019t. Seriously, the Left knows no bounds, and (unconstitutional) legislation has been promoted by the Left to limit access to ammunition by rule or by tax. We have all seen this happen. The panic buying starts, the scalpers swoop in, and BOOM we have an ammo shortage \u2013 ban or no ban. Get dad some ammo now! I buy mine locally if I can, but when I can\u2019t I like SGAmmo.com<\/a>. They often have what I want, they offer free shipping, and they have never messed up one of my orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His topics have included bird dog training, predator hunting, defensive training, 3-gun competitions, and more. He is an avid hunter, chasing upland birds behind pointing dogs by day, and calling predators at night with thermal and night vision. A staunch 2A supporter, Steve has written about topics challenging the gun community. In addition, Steve tests and evaluates guns, scopes, thermals, night vision, and all types of hunting and tactical gear. His favorite outdoor activities are upland bird hunting, calling predators, and shooting suppressed firearms.
