Camping Gear
Big Agnes Kid’s Sleep System (Haybro15)
I am excited for Spring to fully arrive. I plan on doing some overnight hikes with Loki (my dog), and my son Cole. Recently I wrote about my top ten overnight hike essentials, but what if you plan on bringing your kid? It was an interesting process to start finding some gear for my son. There […]
Nemo Helio Pressure Shower | Review
Truck Camping 101 | Part 5 | Keeping clean – Nemo Helio Pressure Shower After a meeting with the great folks at Nemo Equipment, I was shown a piece of camping equipment at Outdoor Retailer that I had to own. If you’ve been following my recent series on Truck Camping, you’ll understand how the Helio […]
UCO Flatpack Grill and Firepit
When my family goes camping we like to take a mini-bbq which runs off of a small propane tank with us. This is great if we have the room in our vehicle, and we plan on driving right up to our campsite. When I am hunting I usually leave this bbq at home because there […]
Petzl TIKKA headlamp: Compact headlamp for proximity lighting
Since 1975, Petzl — the company — has been building products stemming from generations of family exploration and mountaineering experience.

The Petzl TIKKA […]

“Uh-Oh, your lights have gone out”, says the instructor. While clearing an objective during SWAT training the instructor’s decided that my team’s weapon mounted lights had run out of battery. How convenient. I recently received the Tungsten DF Light and had it on my kit for such a “surprise”, so out it came. The emphasis […]
Streamlight Bandit | Quality on the cheap
There are a handful of companies I review regularly, who consistently release products that outperform my expectations on price versus performance. Streamlight Bandit is one of these few, regularly kicking out solid lights at a price that’s tough to beat. Plus, they always ship with batteries included. A small perk, but once you’re used to it, […]
Winterial 11-Piece Camping Cookware Set: Cooking comfortably outdoors
It is officially spring which means the hiking and camping season is here. Gear for either activity can get pretty expensive if you’re just starting out, not to mention that there is a myriad of options to choose from. Fittingly, I received the Winterial 11-Piece Camping Cookware Set to review for our readers. After having […]
Spyderco and Ackerman knives have a baby- It’s not ugly either
As avid of a knife fan as I am, I still feel like I need to justify the purpose and intent of each one I own. Fixed blade knives have a wide range of uses. From skinning a deer, filleting a fish or self-defense; these primitive weapons still find a special place in our heart, […]
Princeton Tec Impulse | A Lightweight Headlamp for your Hat
When you’re out in the woods, it seems the one thing you never have quite enough of is light. Either it’s not strong enough, focused enough or just not where you need it. Princeton Tec is constantly working to make the best, brightest and lightest light you’ll find, so you won’t ever be stuck in […]
