Visual Review: High Ground Gear HG3D
Ryo of Thunder Bird Hills takes up through a visual rundown of the features of his High Ground Gear 3-Day Pack both through photography, a short video and his thoughts on the pack…
Recon: Salomon 4D GTX Quest
Do you go backpacking or hiking barefooted? Didn’t thinks so… unless you’re that nutjob Cody Lundin from Dual Survival, then you probably wear boots when you hit the great outdoors.
Review: Triple 7 Gear Kit
The first thing that hits you about these kits is the quality. The second thing is that the closure isn’t a zip or velcro.
Recon: Tareinco Custom PSK Belt Pouch
A few months ago I decided I wanted to carry my survival kit either on my belt or attached to my pack. However, I didn’t want a huge pouch, and a certain balance of organization was key.
Recon: Tracer Jacket
When I first got a look of the Tracer Jacket a month or so ago in the much anticipated Triple Aught Design Friday newsletter, I have to admit, I was on the fence.
Recon: Ranger Hoodie
The first encounter with Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings finds him garbed as a Ranger of the North. “A travel-stained cloak of heavy dark green cloth” are hardly words that you’d use to describe a modern adventuring fleece, but after spending over six months with Triple Aught Design’s Ranger Hoodie, I found a number of apt associations with Tolkien’s Rangers* that I’ll go on to mention…
Recon: Stealth Operator Pack
While in search of a sub-1000 cu. in pack, I found that this type of pack just doesn’t seem to get the attention that larger packs get. This small wonder is the coolest little pack I’ve seen in a long time.
Review: Bear Core Fluffy Fleece Jacket
Way back in January (2013) I picked up a Bear Basecamp Hooded Fleece and it instantly became a hit. Over the course of the year the heavy usage started to show and it was retired to the position of home wear. This filled me with considerable sadness, so I was really excited to get hold of the updated version…
Review: PatchPals
I came across this really interesting product a little while ago and being into patches, I thought it was a really clever attachment method for PALS webbing.
Recon: Legacy Three Day Pack
This is the larger 3-day pack by Grey Ghost Gear called the Legacy in Kryptek Highlander 500D Cordura.
