PHOOZY Drink Capsule Can Cooler | A Spacesuit for your Beer
Have you ever been satisfied with the typical beer koozie? Flimsy, underperforming neoprene and usually with some tacky phrase stenciled on the side. Like, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere”, or “Save water, drink beer”, or even “Let’s get ready to stumble”. The bottom line is they “need” a catch phrase to sell their crappy product. Not […]

Patagonia Atom 8 Sling Bag for Travel and Everyday Carry (EDC)
I’ve never been a huge fan of sling bags. Mainly because I usually buy bulky tactical style ones that feel like having a huge tick on my back. Another reason was that I have the tendency to over pack, even just for a day out. Over the past few years, age, mission and a bad […]

Dark Energy’s Indestructible Poseidon PRO Portable Charger
Over the years, I’ve gone through several portable power chargers that claimed to be durable. Some look the part but not many have actually lasted over a year. With all the traveling we do, having a reliable charger is critical. Wether we’re charging phones, a Garmin InReach, Laptops or GoPro’s, there’s always a need for […]
The Zeus Pro Jump Starter | Expect to Self-start, No One is Coming
My wife and I enjoy hiking in the backcountry, and one thing that has yet to happen to us is finding out that our truck’s battery died while we were gone on our hike. However, it is better to be prepared than caught unprepared and stranded with a dead battery. Uncharted Supply Co. has improved […]

5.11 Tactical COVRT18 2.0 | A Low Profile Pack
In the fall of 2023, I found a great sale price on one of the new COVRT18 2.0 low profile backpacks from 5.11 Tactical. I had previously owned one of their Gen 1 COVRT18 packs. And although it was a good pack, I just couldn’t get it to work for me. So, when I was […]
ABLE CARRY Daybreaker | An affordable low-vis daypack
