herschel supply co novel bag.

I love bags. I don’t know why. But I definitely have a problem. I found the perfect messenger bag. And the perfect backpack. And now I think I have a perfect duffel/weekender bag. The definition of perfect: when the delicate balance of style and function is reached. These bags by Herschel Supply Co are from [ READ MORE ]

goruck gr1.

I know I had found the perfect (for me) shoulder bag when I got the Belstaff Colonial 556. Now I think I have found the perfect backpack… or at least the one I am going to keep for the next decade or so. It’s the Goruck GR1. What I love is the clean minimalist look [ READ MORE ]

wrapsol.

I got the iPhone 4 the day it was released. It’s the best phone *slash* handheld computer yet! What did I find that could possibly make this phone better? Wrapsol! A hundred times better than InvisibleShield. Goes on super easy. Adds a nice matte finish to the back. And protects it amazingly… I dropped my [ READ MORE ]

embassy pen.

Now this is a total indulgence (like none of the other things here are either)… and I am not at all a pen person. But a co-worker of mine has switched back to using a fountain pen… very fancy. Too fancy for me. But when I saw this, I said… that is RIGHT UP MY [ READ MORE ]

ipad and dodocase.

I said I wasn’t. But I couldn’t resist. I got an iPad. And I love it! I justified getting the iPad since I read SO many PDF’s for work. I sold my Sony eReader. My main concern of eye strain on a non e-ink screen hasn’t really hit and it’s quite comfortable to read on. [ READ MORE ]

surefire l1 lumamax flashlight.

Why would you want a flashlight that costs over $100? Because you want the best! And that surely is what Surefire flashlights are. I had always saw them and was curious. And tried and tried to talk myself out of getting one. But after “wandering” into numerous gun stores, outdoor stores, fishing stores where I [ READ MORE ]

tad gear op1 admin pouch.

I got this OP1 Admin Pouch (from Grey Training Group in North Carolina) since Tad Gear was out of this color. Grey Training’s online customer service was fantastic. The pouch is great. First of all… I LOVE the color. It’s foliage green but I have never seen this green in any other tac-gear product. The [ READ MORE ]

lum-tec b2 combat.

A few weeks ago, I read about an interesting independent watchmaker in Ohio who has been creating limited runs of about 20 different types of military style watches. I started doing some research and got bitten by the watch bug. Most guys who are into watches go straight for the generic fancy labels: Tag Heuer, [ READ MORE ]

china.

We had a FAST 1 week 3 city trip to China (Beijing, XianHua via Guang Xao, Hong Kong). I thought’d I share what equipment I travelled and matching pictures. First off… I am not a telephoto shooter. Previously, I brought only a 70-200 f/2.8 IS on trips (monster to travel with). In fact, that’s the [ READ MORE ]
