Let’s talk about how I evaluate flashlights; but also some new gear.

If you’re one of the people who send in emails like “cool stuff, but what the heck do you do with that?” Then this is for you.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

The only time to track your fitness is when you are doing said fitness — all other times is just not a good idea.

Metrics for determining if a pocket knife is good, and a couple random things I bought recently.

I take two iconic and fantastic bags, which I have been telling you to buy for years, and then tell you about two bags better than those.

I take a dive into some of the random crap I keep in my bag, and talk about whether or not I’ve used it.

Functionality, comfort, and style — these are the three criteria I use to evaluate a bag.

Planning which items you grab in a limited amount of time — and in which order — is a very stressful endeavor for me.

The order of buying when you want to go iPad only, some work from home thoughts and a few other smatterings.

Why you should give your kids a good breakfast when traveling, and why app subscriptions need a try again option.

Why you always need to keep some garbage bags and TP on hand — and other musing in a short post.

Defensive packing is probably something we need to start talking about, and I think I could rotate with just two flashlights and two knives and be very happy.

It’s been a rough week, I split this in two sections so you can scroll to the bottom half and skip over the heavy shit if you need to.

It was a camera heavy week for me, which was a nice change of pace, and really this GR IIIx is a hell of a camera in a tiny package.
