Recon: Direct Action Foxtrot
It’s been over 30 years since fanny packs were really popular. I never considered even trying one on since I put away the neon gear back in the day, but the Direct Action Foxtrot has me reconsidering things.
Review: PDW Expedition Watch Band Compass
A real life review after full Summer season of use on land and sea.
Pack Essentials: GO PUCK Charger
A portable charger who’s solid build oozes with robustness and almost invites you to play rough…
Field Report: Lowepro Whistler BP 450
As a filmmaker mostly working overseas in developing countries, flying with kit and how best to do so, is one of the constant challenges I face.
10 Year Review: Panerai PAM000 ‘Logo Base’
Sure, there are other reviews of the Panerai PAM000 online. However… show me one where it’s been worn for 10 years on a reviewers wrist, and not just as a daily time-keeper but as an adventure beater year by year.
Recon: Colfax Design Works Recon Pack
I lugged the Recon on 4 airplanes, through 3 airports, limos, cabs, Uber, Lyft, trains, shuttles and on foot and it went with me every step, all 48 miles of them…
Review: Giant Mouse Fixed-1 (GMF-1)
Low weight, small size and multiple carry options make this one PERFECT backpacker’s and hiker’s knife. Just strap it to the backpack and forget about it – until it’s needed of course!
Review: Arc’teryx Khard
The Arcteryx Khard is an engineer’s dream, offering unsurpassed modular organization, simplicity that keeps it clean, and enough space to throw in those extra few things on your way out the door.
Review: Javran ‘Maui Minimalist’ Camera Bag
A year ago I was honestly not even aware of the gem that is the Javran ‘Maui’ camera bag series.
Review: Spyderco Techno – Big Little Knife
I’ve had a chance to play with a full custom version of this knife (before production release) and my first thought was, “Man, Spyderco should make it a production knife immediately”. Guess what? Yeah, they did!
