I am definitely not one to carry a “tactical” bag. Whenever I see someone with anything screaming military it makes me cringe. So when I got this bag, I went into it with hesitation but quickly became friends with it. I have not used a messenger bag since elementary school, however, its efficiency and versatility […]
We recently took a quick look at the small Truckie Pouch from Recylced Firefighter. After I had published the quick look I put my order in to get one to play around with. My initial thought was to use it as a minimalist toiletry bag (which I may still do), but I immediately saw it’s use for a […]
If you’re on the road a lot you need a survival kit. I was on leave a couple months back and driving a mountain pass when a snowstorm hit suddenly. The snow plows hadn’t yet arrived and the roads rapidly became very treacherous. Cars were getting stuck on the side of the road every 10-20 […]
I’ve owned other Salomon shoes and boots in the past and can honestly say they have been the best footwear I’ve spent money on. Yes, they may cost more than other brands, but you get what you pay for. My military service taught me the importance of having the proper footwear and taking care of your feet […]
If you are frustrated with digging through your bag to find a pair of socks, the Gobi Gear SegSac is for you. For the last few years, both my brother and my dad have been using the Gobi Gear Hoboroll for both international travel and long motorcycle trips. The Hoboroll is a compressible version of this stuff sack. […]
I recently reviewed a couple of products from Hard Korr lighting. A flexible LED strip that we use to light our Tepui roof top tent and awning. As well as the multi-purpose UNI Light. Both items are high-quality kit and have become a permanent fixture in our Overland set-up. We recently traveled 850 miles south […]
Spyderco offers a renowned collection of knives, many of them carried by servicemembers, first responders, and everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts alike. However, the premier US knife manufacturer also releases quite a few collaborations with custom knifemakers, many of which are popular novelties. One of the most peculiar ones I’ve come across recently is their Dog […]
Wabakimi… Just say that a couple times in your head. Wabakimi is such a cool name. “Hey Bro, what knife is that?” “Oh man that’s the Wabakimi“. Helle makes extravagant blades, but not so extravagant that they lose the quality of the blade for appearance. It’s a compromise on each – beauty and blade. The […]
We’re approaching the colder Winter months, which means stepping up your game with vehicle maintenance and preparedness. I remember as a younger kid traveling across the United States from Ohio to Arizona and back. On our way back one year we were pulling a trailer full of household items from my grandmother’s house. Not long […]
When it comes to personal preparedness in today’s world, one of the most highly recommended items that a person should carry is a tourniquet (TQ). Originally designed for use and application in the combat environment, the TQ has evolved to become easily accessible and usable by the average layperson in any situation. One company that […]
