Photography is a hobby of mine to supplement my outdoor adventures, and although it is impossible to capture all of nature’s grandeur in a photograph, it has definitely made my trips a more invigorating experience.  The trouble with most photographers on the trails or in the backcountry is deciding what gear they want to take […]
I’ve never been a fan of gift shopping and I look for any opportunity to make that process easier. My preferred method is to take care of as much as possible in one shot. 5.11 Tactical is a great spot to do that; they offer a wide variety of men’s and women’s clothing, footwear, gear […]

I purchased the Grey Ghost Gear Griff pack (say that 3 times fast) about a year ago with the intent of using it as a bag for my on the go setup for my truck. I have taken it on a couple trips even without the usual contents and it works so well that you […]
