Super Glue, A band-aid replacement?

Super Glue, A band-aid replacement?

I hate band-aids – they’re pesky, get in the way and finding one that allows you to continue complete dexterity while wearing it is next to impossible.  They need to be replaced what seems like every 4 or 5 hours, they don’t stay in one place, you can’t get your hands dirty while wearing them. […]

Barska Portable Biometric Lock Box

Barska Portable Biometric Lock Box

Being “Armed” is like having an affliction. You can’t drink when you’re carrying a gun, traveling with it is difficult and wearing speedos at the local pool impossible, or at least downright uncomfortable. Uncle Ben said it best, “With great power comes great responsibility” and if you’re going to own a gun you better be responsible for […]

When you need sunglasses that can do anything: Oakley Crosshairs

Surgical, precise, fluid, dynamic, tough and always ready describes the professional operator, executive, or adventurer. Limited only by the constraints of physics and his own humanity, the professional operator carefully chooses every piece of gear he carries. The responsibility for remaining both agile and quick leaves no room for any gear which only serves a […]

3 Things That Make my Travel Better

3 things that make my travel better: 1) Apple Airpods – I can toss them in and out of my pocket, split one off and listen to music with my kids. 2) Patagonia light puffy jacket – permanently lives in my backpack without impact. 3) Osprey Camera case – keeps small point and shoot camera […]

How Beauty Relates to Your Ability to Perform

How Beauty Relates to Your Ability to Perform

Mini Frog Kit – Pirates and Trees

Three Reasons: “Climbers Rope Swings” hung high into the forest trees are incredibly fun I’ve got trees that need some trimming I love Pirating ships What the hell is he talking about? The reason I’ve gotten so “into” everything I did as a SEAL is that, for me, it always related back to my personal life […]

The Classic North Face Duffel

The Classic North Face Duffel

I was leaving Ethiopia and I had a lot of valuable and sensitive stuff to bring back with me. I had a decent suitcase, but it was raining out and I knew those who would be handling my luggage wouldn’t be walking around with an umbrella covering it.  Luckily, my brother-in-law, had a North […]

Hydro Flask – The Tactical “Fonzie” Of Water Bottles

Perhaps the best description of this flask is its ability to get baked in my truck, I mean to the point that the exterior of the bottle is hot to the touch, but still keeps the liquid inside incredibly cool. Like it will kind of trip you out how cool it stays. This flask is […]

Dead Drops – Laying Some Foundational Pipe

The topic of Dead Drops is quickly expanding as we pursue the possibilities of “Legacy Caching” around the globe, so I thought it made sense to build a bit more of a foundation. How to earn $30K a month Former CIA counterintelligence officer Aldrich Ames made roughly $60K a year in his day job, but […]
