Recon: Wraith Pack
I was caught off guard by this pack when I first picked it up and noticed how lightweight it was.
Review: The Hauser 10L
Mission Workshop is a San Francisco based company owned by cycling enthusiasts making high end products for cycling and active lifestyles. Their gear is by no means for cycling only, but they test their products against the demands of the road and the road can be rough.
Review: Glint & Glow
Based in the UK, Ru Titley provides custom made knives, sheaths and tactical products. I first discovered his blog through valleydeepmountainhigh, who has helped test and develop the markers we’ll be talking about today.
Review: F-Stop Tilopa BC
Recently I took a new position shooting video and photography for an aeronautical university, so I knew I’d be doing a lot of shooting on locations, sometimes remote and travel was on the itinerary, so I had to figure out how to bring it all.
Review: Force 10 RS Cargo Shorts
As I took the Force 10 RS Cargo Shorts out of the box my first thought was that they felt heavier than I expected.

Review: FAST Pack EDC
When I received the EDC I was struck by the weight of it and how stiff it felt. I had a good look over it, and I became aware that this wasn’t going to be a throw-stuff-in-and-go pack, but one that would require time to set up. If I’m honest, this wasn’t quite what I’d expected, especially in today’s culture where most things come out-of-the-box ready (e.g. Apple’s products). So after a slightly unexpected start, here’s what I found…
