As some of you know, I started a digital magazine (some might call it a blog) back in January. The website is
www.trektechblack.com Trek Tech Black is a spinoff of the original Trek Tech Blog (
www.trektechblog.com) which focused on gear reviews for outdoors and exercise enthusiasts. After writing for Trek Tech Blog for about a year, the founder/owner asked me to start a "tactical" focused blog.
Of course, the term "tactical" is overused and often misused so we brainstormed the "black" moniker - as in "evil black rifles." We try to take that self-deprecating, tongue-in-cheek approach to our articles.
Now, to the meat of the matter:
It's time to grow. I need gear testers and writers to support the growing demand for content. This is a non-paying gig but you will get to keep some (maybe all) of the gear that you write about. Non-contributing gear testers will receive occasional goodies in return for their work.
