A handheld or weapon mounted thermal sight that works well in rain, smoke, snow and of course total darkness. The Light Weapon Thermal Sight (LWTS) sports a 640 X 480 uncooled micro bolometer which means nothing unless you look up “bolometer” which is a device for measuring the power of radiation. The LWTS allows for […]
Personal locator beacon, GPS and text messenger. To stay streamlined, light and mobile I’m always looking for devices that can serve multiple purposes without getting too complicated. The DeLorme 2-way sat communicator looks like it will fill a gap for me while out in the field, overseas or in a disaster situation where local methods […]
If you’ve ever had to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes – especially if that someone is an adventure type – you know that trekking in the snow can be as difficult as looking cool in a speedo. Yes… feels almost impossible. Even with a decent pair of snowshoes trudging through the snow can whoop your butt. […]
I just rolled in from Ethiopia and had this waiting for me. It is a EXFIL LTP™ Lightweight, Tactical, Polymer bump helmet from Wendy’s Helmet. This is very similar to the ones I wore in the teams and what is being used today by many operators. I’ve been talking with Surefire about some of their lighting configurations […]
Okay I know you’re going to be pissed that it’s Christmas and I’m just putting this up. I couldn’t help myself. If you’ve never bought and messed around with any of the mini helicopters you can get at the mall you’re missing out. I don’t know what it is about these things, but I find […]
The Switch is a pocket knife with 12 interchangeable attachments. Interchangeable being the operative word here. You can mix the configuration allowing you to customize your knife to suit your needs. Mix it up I’ve yet to find “the perfect tool”, but the prospect of being able to switch out all of these components has […]
An inexpensive, easy to use, cheap, lighter converting, mini torch that’s just right for a last minute stocking stuffer. For just under $20, and a 50-cent lighter, you no longer need to burn your fingers trying to light your next campfire. Turn your everyday lighter into a wind resistant 2,300 degree torch with this bad […]
So I met this guy in the parking lot He was a bit older than me, had a “seasoned” look about him. Normally – like never – would I randomly approach someone in a parking lot, but this guy had a killer custom truck shell on the back of his truck and I had to […]
Killer camera type – 1 each 1080p HD Action camera Water resistant up to one meter for 30 minutes Waterproof with mountable Dive Case to 50 meters ($40.00) Mountable on just about anything Internal GPS As I reflect on my life, I can recall very few of the details. I’m not sure why this is. […]
If we were talking and you noticed that my cheeks were turning red, my hands were fidgety, I kept shifting body positions and I was having trouble holding normal eye contact you might think I’m lying. The reality is that I just described how I feel the morning after eating jalapenos. Trying to spot a […]
