They provide everything you need to have a paintball party: safety equipment, lots of land to roam, places to hide, and free hot dogs. Based only on her feedback, we'd probably come back every weekend. She already is making plans for the summer and winter... Our initial observation as we drove up the dirt road into the site was that someone once owned a tire dump and instead of just setting it on fire they thought it would be amusing if they arranged the tires in clumps and city folk would pay for the privelege of running around them and shooting each other with paint guns. The location is really far away from Calgary, but you drive through some beautiful foothills on some winding roads and some lovely creeks. The kids spent 2 hours running around and 1 hour eating cupcakes, and were deliriously happy when we picked them up. Not sure if they have running water on site, so expect more campsite-style amenities, like portapotties, which is the only blemish.

We went to Rampage for my friends birthday and he had called ahead asking if he needed to print out…read morethe Groupon coupon they were offering online or if he could just mention it at the desk and they would honour the price of the groupon. The manager he spoke with said that they would honour the groupon price, but when we got there, they refused to give us the coupon price unless we had the print out. The manager said "I thought you had already bought the groupon, that's why I said you could just mention it." and we ended up paying $30 a person instead of $8. We're all broke college students, so the stakes for coughing up $30 for anything, are really high. It would have been nice if the manager had even attempted at remedying the situation, instead he insisted that we were the ones who had misunderstood and did nothing to help us out. On top of that, we are all amateur paintball players and for some reason the manager (who had all his own gear and was clearly well versed in the world of paintball) insisted on joining all of our games, making them much more difficult and frankly less fun for anyone facing off against him. I will definitely be taking my business to Bragg Creek from now on.

Located in a quirky to reach area near Holy Smoke, it's simply an awesome place to go for security and paramilitary clothing and gear. Putting it quite simply, its' a place to get the real thing, whether it be military combat webbing to body armour (you need a licence btw now in Alberta), they stock all of the stuff that you would need if you're planning to invade Cuba tomorrow (except MREs better known as Meals Ready to Eat and maybe guns of course). I find the prices a bit high, but then, they are a very specialized store with specialized gear, and unlike 911 Gear, for the most part, they do not impose rules like requirements for company letters or security licences for a lot of the merchandise unless it is absolutely legally required. Other than that, it's worth taking a look especially if you're into airsoft or paintball and you're looking for realistic or actual clothing for your adventures in combat tactics. Even better, it's a good alternate source for clothing and gear if you can't get it from 911 or Crown Surplus. #46 of Yelp's 30-Day Review Challenge

The response from Seals Action Gear (Joyce) was very condescending (our other customers think this paracord is just fine). In the end, they admitted that the product was not military spec and have changed the description on their website. However, they refused to refund my considerable shipping costs, making it impractical to return the product. Don't shop here.

What a great online find! This small shop in Calgary has a nice selection of knives and EDC /…read moresurvival gear. Many of their products are listed for less than larger online *Canadian* retailers, depending on model. Sidenote: It's still hard to beat U.S. prices (as online shoppers up here know), but due to the somewhat recent border law changes regarding assisted / manual opening knives (I have strong opinions about that, which I will not get into here), many of the cutlery retailers in the States have ceased cross-border shipping. So for the majority of us law-abiding residents, we need to purchase these items solely through Canadian retailers. I'm all for supporting local businesses but not a fan of being forced to do so... more options are always good for consumers. Anyway, Target Knives miraculously had a discontinued multi-tool that I was looking for (one left in stock), which was quite amazing since the model has been discontinued for several years now. I seriously think I purchased the last one in Canada, at least online! My order arrived quickly and was packaged securely. I didn't receive any email confirmation / tracking info after ordering, which I attributed to the online e-commerce system for a small store. Hopefully this is something they will start doing once their online sales become more frequent. From their online selection (haven't visited the store yet), it appears Target Knives's purpose is aimed toward daily-use EDC / survival gear. Don't expect to find high-end or ultra-custom cutlery online here (Benchmade is probably the highest brand they carry online, which is definitely quite good), but for mid-range and below, Target Knives has a good spread for a small shop. You might find some hard-to-locate gems such as the multi-tool I purchased... and as mentioned, great prices on many of their products. Honestly, dependable mid-range gear is better for EDC anyway IMHO since I hate messing up super expensive gear during daily tasks. But hey, if you've got the money for it, more power to you. It looks like from other reviewers that Target Knives also carries some eclectic products in store, such as swords and fantasy collector items. I didn't see these online, but there are displays of them shown in the store photos. Pretty cool... I will definitely be stopping by during my next Calgary trip to check this place out!

I didn't know if I would have any luck since it's a knife shop, but let me tell you this place is a Mecca for knife and out door tool people. There is tons of stock, he had three of the tool I wanted! Very eclectic little shop, and the owner is very helpful and knowledgable. Canada needs more of these home grown mom and pop shops. And literally everything I browsed while there was well below any discounted prices I saw online. Even Amazon! One word of warning, come here fully prepared to stay a good amount of time, because this place is loaded with great stuff.
