You’ve been planning the past few months for your upcoming race, now’s the time to think about your race recovery. Most experts say your recovery is as important, if not more important, than your training leading up to a race. With so much riding on how you heal post-race, a recovery plan is an absolute […]
13 HOURS is based on the true story that transpired in Benghazi on 9/11 2012, where 4 Americans paid the ultimate price; Ty “Rone” Woods, Glen “Bub” Doherty, Ambassador Chris Stevens, and Sean Smith. At first glance you may not think that Michael Bay, the blockbuster director of epic popcorn action films, would be the […]
I thought about this list before I started writing. There are some items I carry in special circumstances/environments which are extremely useful to me (i.e. LifeStraw while hunting). However, I was asked to compile a list of items I would have everyday, regardless of special circumstance/environments. So what follows is what you can always find […]
I’m a very basic guy. I like to keep things simple. For example, my favorite wristwatch is a Seiko 5. It doesn’t have any doo-dads or special features, except a 50 year-old technology that rewinds the watch as you wear it. My friends and coworkers have huge digital watches that have an altimeter, multiple alarms, […]
After spending more than 4 years waking up in Iraq, Evan Hafer now wakes up to the dark silence of his Salt Lake City neighborhood. Before anyone else rises, he’s, raised his heart rate and made himself a cup of coffee better than anything most of us will ever taste. That’s because Hafer knows coffee, […]
There are a few companies and individuals that I follow because their mindset falls in line with how I think, what I believe, and what I stand for. Dynamis Alliance is one of those companies on my short list. The founder and owner, Dom Raso, is a former Navy SEAL giving him the experience to […]
At SHOW Show this year I happened by the YETI Coolers booth. After some conversation about how I’m planning a move to Austin, where YETI (and TTAG) is HQ’d, and how I haven’t yet figured out if I’m too poor or just too cheap to buy YETI’s undeniably awesome-albeit-expensive wares, I was awarded a free YETI […]
Okay, if you want to find a great way to have fun and let your head explode, try flipping a tractor tire. Gyms all around the world are just recently finding out what power lifters, strong men, and many garage fitness aficionados have known for decades; flipping heavy tires is one of the best exercises […]
As a dog owner I try to take Loki (meet him here) on all my outdoor activities. Eventually I hope to use him as a bird dog (maybe even this year). However, for now I am just happy to give him as much exposure to as many outdoor activities as possible. Awhile ago I wrote […]
Normally I would go into lengthy detail about an item that I would talk about in the Loadout Room. The Gatorz sunglasses with polarized lens are probably the best sunglasses that I have owned in my 47 years in existence. During my 14 years as a Navy SEAL, I really only wore Oakley sunglasses, but […]
