Professional Gear Reviews
I’ve become less and less a fan of energy drinks that have flooded the market.

Magpul sent me and the boys some of their new iPhone cases to T&E a month ago. I’ve been rocking one ever since (retired my clunky Otter Box). It just goes to show you that simplicity and sleek are good things. I’m a huge fan of this company (also founded by a former USMC Recon […]

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.
