External displays are all the rage for iPad Pro Pros, and that thing where I thought a bag would suck a lot, but it turns out I love it.

A SAK style knife with M390 steel, and that’s where the good parts stop.

Is this the best watch you can buy for under $600? It might just be.

This bag is close to being really good, but doesn’t quite get close enough to hitting that mark. It is still a good bag though.

When you need a slip joint, but want something that feels like a locking knife — either way this knife slices.

Apple really dropped the ball with iPadOS 16, but not as much as Taylor Welden does all the time.

One of the best folding knife blades I’ve used, but there’s a few caveats to go along with that.

GORUCK released the GR2 (26L and 34L) in Heritage materials, as well as the Bullet Ruck. They both look great, but be advised that the prices on these are a premium over the stock ones. (Oh, and a Field Pocket in Heritage.) I can’t speak to those items directly, but the GR1 Heritage I bought […]

A very fun light, with surprising throw for how diminutive it is, but a little hard to find practical uses for.

Finding the time to write all this stuff, while also talking about ways I keep track of time.

This is one of the more comfortable, and rugged field watches I have used, and a really solid offering.

An impressively good watch, which beats out a lot of higher priced offerings.

This is a serious feeling pen, with some really nice machining, but it’s hard to get around the sheer bulk of it.

This Pro Max battery is a travelers dream, and this watch is also quite something.

GORUCK dropped a Bullet Ruck w/ Laptop Compartment and it looks like a really great option for those who pack lighter. It holds a 13/14” laptop, unfortunately not the popular 16” models. Find them here, $175.

This is a far cry from being something which could be my only watch, but it might still be my favorite watch.

I love this knife, but it is likely not for everyone — those who do like the looks, will find themselves with a great large fixed blade.

The EDC gear market, and are steel bracelets on watches overhyped?
