Filson Sale (40-ish% off)
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.

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

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

Member Journal — 6/20/22
My most used gear half way through the year, a new flashlight from my favorite flashlight company.
-
Oveready BOSS 35
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.

GondekEDC Battery Pouch
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.

GORUCK GR2 26L
It’s a great dad bag, a great EDC bag, and could be a great one bag — it’s simply a great bag.

Mystery Ranch ASAP SB
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.

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

GORUCK Kit Bag Back In Stock (Black)
$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.

Black Diamond Memorial Day Sale
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 […]

REI Anniversary Sale
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 […]
