An Ultralight Outdoor Adventure EDC
I’m going to start a small series on ultralight gear for hiking, backpacking and trail running. To kick it off I’m going to begin with an Ultralight EDC (Everyday Carry). Although this EDC kit that I’m going to discuss isn’t as sexy as some other selections out there, it’s proven quality gear that is lightweight […]
Two Is One, One Is None: All About Backups
If you’ve been into everyday carry for a while now, you’ve probably heard the saying “two is one, one is none.” In other words, it means you should carry a backup. If you’re only carrying one critical item (like a knife or flashlight) and it breaks or goes missing, then you’re out of luck. By […]

Vanquest Mobius 2.0 VPacker
When I think of EDC items, I envision a watch, wallet, maybe a small knife and or pistol. However, I’ve seen posts on forums where people show what they carry every day and it’s astonishing. And sometimes completely unrealistic. A full size pistol, 2 double stack magazines, a fighting knife, hatchet, medical kit, gas mask, […]
Grey Ghost Gear Range Bag | Range Review
Until I got a hold of the Range Bag from Grey Ghost Gear, my trips to the gun range meant cramming as much stuff as I could think of, and packing it into the biggest bag I could find. This would lead to over thinking and over packing multiple items that I would never use […]
