Year: 2022

Some good deals to be had, oddball sizes so don’t get too revved up. I grabbed a dry bag to try for a great price though. (Pro-tip: Filson tends to randomly add more stuff throughout sales.) Gear up. 

Here’s the gear you really need to do a Disney World trip, there you go.

I think we can officially say that this country is a dumpster fire, so that’s all I will say about that.

Essentially the best camera, based on my usage of iPhones and a really old Fujifilm camera.

My most used gear half way through the year, a new flashlight from my favorite flashlight company.

This is an amazing looking and feeling light, but the clever UI leaves a lot to be desired if you want to use the light for light.

I love this battery pouch, every flashlight nut needs one.

Turns out, WWDC 22 was a big deal for me, but I still managed a really short gear blurb.

It’s a great dad bag, a great EDC bag, and could be a great one bag — it’s simply a great bag.

When an already amazing bag, get’s even better.

Perhaps the best Spyderco, but it doesn’t quite meet the standard for what I carry.

What they mean when they say leaders need empathy, and some more on the GR2 26L.

A cost effective way to add really high quality light for mirrors.

$125 with shoulder strap, for what is probably one of the better weekender/travel duffle bags out there. I currently use mine as my emergency bag for my house, and I think it fills that role supremely well (members can head here to see what I use in place of it). My thoughts on the bag […]

Why do you want to repair stuff; why don’t we all get to use cool tech features; and holy crap that’s a lot of gear.

Adding velcro loop to the inside of your GR1, makes it feel less like a GR1.

Insight into how I evaluate pocket knives right now; and early impressions of the Chaparral.

Really good deals on headlamps here if you need to grab some. The Spot Lite 200 for a small compact light that has a red light is a favorite of mine. The Wiz is ideal for kids. The Storm models are great for those who need to make it through some rough weather conditions. And […]

Some good deals on Black Diamond headlamps (big fan of those, though Black Diamond’s sale has slightly better pricing depending on shipping and taxes for you) and hiking shoes (I snagged some Salomon XA’s) — also a bunch of merino gear is on sale and that’s a good enough reason for me to grab another […]

When a folder performs like a fixed blade.
