I typically hate receiving clothes as a gift in general. I make exceptions here and there. Want to get me a Dixxon Flannel? Sweet. How about a pair of 5.11 Defender Flex Jeans? Yes, please. I now have two pairs of these bad boys and I adore them. I have owned both blue and black for […]

Built for Adventure, the rugged & dependable Hardside Hydration works with Nalgene & Camelbak bottles. In the ’90’s we upgraded from carrying canteens in the Army to using hydration bladders.

I’ve been shooting steel targets for over a decade and love the satisfying “ding” when my freedom-pill scores a hit. But recently, I had an opportunity to try something different. A three dimensional torso and head made from 100% recycled rubber. The company is Rubber Dummies and they sent me their Starter Kit to test […]
