This is my first go with Pelican Coolers, so this is my first impression of the product and brand. The two coolers I received were the 30qt Elite Cooler and larger 70qt Elite Cooler. You can tell as soon as you lift them out of the box, you’ve got a quality cooler. Just the heft […]
It all started for me back in the early 90’s while living in Washington State. I grew up in a military family and moved all over the world.

Based on the companies already successful Mountain Trainer boot, the Trooper is a […]
I love thick knives. They survive the rigors of the field better than the thinner blades I’ve seen in many “survival” and “utility” knives. I use my knives quite a bit. At a minimum, they are doing 1-2 weeks in the field per month building fires and gutting animals. I’ve seen many knives break in my […]
For years, Lowa has built a reputation as one of the finest boot maker on the market – be it for the hiking enthusiast, alpine professional, or soldier, their product seems to rise to the top of many shopping lists. I recently got a pair of their new Innox GTX Mid from their Task Force military line. The boot […]
I was given the opportunity to review the Grey Ghost Gear Wanderer Messenger Bag on a Trip to Orlando, Florida. My wife and I shared the duties of carrying the bag, mainly because we wanted to give it a true test. And she didn’t want to carry it the whole time while I was carrying nothing. This […]
