Recently, I was sent a Zero Tolerance knife to review. Immediately upon unboxing, I realized the quality was far beyond my current EDC knife. This got me thinking about the rest of my EDC kit. So, I went searching for better gear that wouldn’t break the bank and I’ve found a few pieces of kit I […]

Gerber Paraframe Folding Knife
*Republished with permission from Hooks & Ammo The Gerber Paraframe knife has been my current everyday carry knife for a few months now. I like the features of the knife and at the price point, the knife is a great deal. Gerber is a respected name and their products have always been well made and have […]
5.11 AMP 72 pack: Carrying its own weight
One of the highlights of this years SHOT Show was 5.11′s Las Vegas retail store meet-and-greet event. A huge number of 5.11 employees traveled from all over the country to be a part of it, and it was well worth attending. Present there were sales reps, PR reps and product designers. Scott Lambert, the lead […]
Photo of the day: Keeping your ass clean when overlanding
Two well thought out items from Madator that came in handy were the FlatPak Toiletry Bottle and Soap Bar Case. Both extremely lightweight and fold flat. The Toiletry Bottle is a welded Cordura bottle that can hold 3 ounces of any liquid soap or shampoo. A screw top lid makes loading it easy. And the flip top […]

This is a subtle looking bag that doesn’t draw unnecessary attention, but it […]
Bogs Bozeman Tall | Rubber rain boot redefined
“In every life, a little rain must fall.” I can’t remember which friend of mine growing up used to say that but it was uttered when someone experienced bad luck. Although rain is a fact of life, it doesn’t have to be associated with bad luck. Fortunately, when the heavens open up, proper rain gear […]
Photo of the day: Protecting my most needed piece of technology
With an aluminum frame and rubber gaskets covering the ports, the Pro case hugs the edges of the iPhone X without rolling over the sides, feeling big and bulky. In fact, the case is so sleek that it feels almost natural holding the phone like Apple designed it themselves. The case comes with two top covers for […]
5.11 Rush Delivery LIMA: A contractors business bag
Fashion or Functionality? Yes, you can have both… When I first saw the RUSH Delivery LIMA my initial thought was: “This bag was far too technical for the everyday executive”. Sure, if I were conducting business in Cartel-era Columbia the quick-draw compartment for a covert sidearm might be useful but how often did I need […]
