The ProTac HL-X packs a stout 1,000 lumens in a durable EDC package. I find it to be just the right size for an EDC flashlight that you can wear on your belt or have in your pocket. For starters, the ProTac HL-X comes with two CR123A batteries and a nylon pouch/holster for the flashlight. The pouch has a Velcro strap to […]

We the people Holsters: EDC Dump Tray
A few months back I was looking for something to hold my pocket stuff that I would unload when I got home. My usual MO is to just unload it onto the kitchen counter and leave it there until the next time I go out. That wasn’t being received as domestically acceptable anymore so I […]
Maxpedition Beefy Pocket Organizer: A great EDC tray for travel or discreet home use
Maxpedition has been around for a while now and has proven themselves in the tactical nylon industry. They are known for making bombproof gear. I’ve used several smaller pouches and one of their Falcon packs in the past. One of the most durable small day packs I had ever tried and used. I recently saw […]
The Knyphe: Phone Case + EDC Knife
I was browsing roughly through a gun and gear Facebook page when I stumbled across the Knyphe. The Knyphe is a great name for a really sweet idea. It’s simple, you already have a phone, and it’s likely in a case. So why not carry a fixed blade in the case? The Knyphe is a […]
My everyday carry for life in the United States
My everyday carry has changed over time, and will most likely continue to change. I hope that by sharing this I can give an idea to people new to the concept on how they may want to set theirs up. I’m going to touch on each individual item and some of the benefits they have to being […]
Dynamis Alliance Low Pro 1.5″ Minimalist Belt
Your belt is the foundation of everyday carry, especially if you are carrying concealed. The belt needs to be rigid enough to keep your gear where it needs to be without having to constantly adjust it, but not too rigid to where it’s uncomfortable to wear and difficult to run through your belt loops. Over […]
Photo of the day: Two of my favorites
A couple favorites: my Sig P226 and Chronosport UDT Timer watch. The SIG P226 always felt like it was built for my hand. The Chronosport is a classic! I’ll need to track one down that’s new in box at some point. I first noticed a Chronosport on @officialslystallone wrist in Rambo III when I was a kid […]
Olight M2T Warrior Flashlight: EDC worthy or too big?
I recently decided to upgrade from the Olight M18 Striker flashlight to something newer in the Olight lineup. I’ve carried the M18 Striker for quite some time and it never disappointed. For more on the M18, check out my review HERE. The M18 Striker is no longer available (The M1X is the replacement), so I decided […]
Gerber Barbill wallet: Minimalist yet functional
I’ve been carrying and using the new Gerber Barbill wallet for about a week now. I know that’s not a long time, but it’s been enough to give me a good feel for how the wallet is going to perform. I love my minimalist wallets and only carrying what I need. I’ve tried others in the past similar […]
Tailoring my EDC for running
Tailoring your EDC (everyday carry) for each situation doesn’t have to be complicated. It also doesn’t have to be overboard. The truth is, that what you carry to work probably isn’t practical to carry while at school, to the gym, and definitely not while running. To touch on the latter, running, I don’t claim to […]
