I’m gonna say something that will make you call BS on me. Then I’ll back it up. I’ve killed hundreds of thousands of fish. Maybe close to a million in salmon alone. Lest you think I’m an octopus with 8 fly rods and a mainline of coffee, the majority of that was commercial fishing. I […]
Recently I saw an ad on Facebook for an item called the PACElid. A PACElid is a cap that also functions as a storage container for your wide mouth Nalgene, Kleen Kanteen, and Camelbak water bottles. It looked like an interesting concept so I ordered one. The PACElid is made from a high impact plastic, […]
We have covered several EDC articles in the past covering everything from knives and flashlights to handguns. These items are what you’ll typically find in an urban, or city EDC.

If you get outside and get your adventure on then you already know the importance of emergency shelters, blankets and signaling. Should the “S” hit the “F” and you find yourself and / or your family needing to stay alive so that you don’t become coyote food you’ll want a couple of these things stashed […]
Compact survival kits are somewhat of a popular item in this day and age. The most common one you probably hear about is the Altoid tin survival kit (common among the bushcrafting community). This is a great concept, but the issue I commonly have is the size of the tin and the quality of the materials […]
When assembling a pocket kit, the only question you should be concerned with is, “What could you see yourself needing in your day-to-day life?”
