Their Reign of Terror Is Over!

Too many times I’ve had what was going to be a nice meal ruined by 2 or 3 flies that just wouldn’t go away. Traditional flyswatters aren’t always effective when dealing with crafty flies that only land on your food. Never again will any of us have to sit through a BBQ anxiously waving our […]

Useable Waterproof iPhone Case: Yes It Does Exist

My friend and former SEAL teammate, Eric, turned me onto to the LIFEPROOF iPhone case. Eric said, “this case lets me take my iPhone surfing with the kids”, and I just shot him a sideways look and said, “Seriously?”. He ended up offering up his phone to me poolside (at his house) but, like most […]

Nature has had a lot more time to tweak and test it’s creations, and the price to pay for failing was literally life. […]

From an American Vietnam veteran and buddy of mine, the Mini Claymore mine. These are some pictures he took from his service in Rhodesia. He tells me that rather than metal ball bearings, that the Mini Claymore has cube shaped shrapnel that does not project as far, but causes more damage to human tissue.
