The Garmin Foretrex 401 Wrist Mounted GPS

The Garmin Foretrex 401 Wrist Mounted GPS

There are quite a few GPS devices out there and several companies who make good ones. However good is subjective and dependent upon what you need it for. When it comes to a GPS unit I need something that is lightweight. More so than that I need something that conserves battery power and can give […]

Garmin Tactix Charlie

Garmin Tactix Charlie | One watch to rule them all

As the capabilities of our armed forces expand at an individual level to include responsibilities and abilities never before imagined, so too the requisite number of tools has expanded greatly.  Much like smartphones cramming as many features as possible into a pocket-sized computer, the Garmin Tactix Charlie is a superwatch that combines the traits and […]

Garmin Fenix 5 | Worldclass Multi-Sport Watch

Summer is in full swing and it’s time to hit the trails, both for hiking and running. For the past two years, I’ve been using the Garmin Forerunner 10 as my GPS watch. This year it’s time to upgrade.

Technological dependence and the need for primitive skills

Technological dependence and the need for primitive skills

This may be a bit presumptuous of me, but our dependence on technology has made us weaker militarily, in my humble opinion.

The Handgunner Backpack from G.P.S. Wild About Shooting

Garmin Forerunner 10 GPS Running Watch | Quick Look

For those of you like me that take a break from running in the winter months; it’s time to dust off the running shoes and get back into the swing of things. Spring is right around the corner. For the last two years I’ve used my iPhone with some type of running app to track […]

Staying Found

During my last trip into the Sequoias I became enamored with the park’s ability to strip my consciousness of any and all thought, worry or concern.  I found myself daydreaming about the towering granite walls and Sequoia tress so large that their gravity would seem to pull the toxins from my soul. Yes a bit majestic and grandiose; […]
