Helen Hernandez

Survival Expert & Gun Lover

Hello, I am Helen. It would seem a successful product manager in an IT company and an expert on weapons - these two roles can never get along in one person. No matter how sometimes there are exceptions. From early childhood, I realized that the love of weapons, such as knives and bows, arrows, crossbows is not just a hobby.

Shooted a hat of the neighbor in the country at the age of 4 with a miniature bow was the first successful step in studying military history. Fortunately, everyone survived. Coming on a date in adulthood, I surprised guys with my knowledge of knives, that’s often played a trick on me. No normal man likes a woman smarter than him.

Now it gives me special pleasure to simply study various sets and types of weapons, survival, and tactical gear on Amazon, OpticsPlanet, Cabelas, Brownells, and other stores, helping people choose exactly what they need.

At the same time, I show products with natural defects so that the user does not have an ideal picture of what is far from done. After all, no matter how many good reviews were written about the product, the true quality is always important when receiving a parcel.
