Here’s a piece of gear I’ve been sitting on for a while. I was slated to test this carry-on luggage from Kathmandu right about the time COVID-19 was unleashed upon us. Grinding my air travel to a rapid halt, until recently. A three-leg flight from Northern Michigan to Chattanooga to compete in the Red Clay […]

One of the many things we enjoy about Overland travel is our ability to eat well. In our vehicle, we have a fridge, two burner stove with a bomber skillet and a propane cylinder. Pretty much everything we need for great meal preparations. We’ve tried different “camp ovens” in the past with limited success and were […]
Falling under one of my 3 pillars of successful overland travel, “good food”, the Coleman Camp Oven may be the next item we add to our Overland loadout. The other 2 pillars are “comfortable sleep” and “epic locations” if anyone was curious. Anyhow, back to “good food”. With the limited space available in our FJ […]

The OLIGHT Olantern Classic 2 Pro is the second OLIGHT lantern/lamp that I’ve used. One thing I liked right away about this lantern is the classic style and old school copper color. It looks just like a lantern found in a farmhouse or hunting cabin years ago. It has two light settings, a warm white […]
The gear we carry should be approached in a very deliberate manner. Gear for the urban jungle will be different than gear carried in an off-grid environment. Your gear should reflect what is needed in your individual location. But while items of gear may vary, gear should be concealable, accessible, and you should be competent […]

The Magpul DAKA Everyday wallet has been part of my EDC for a while now. Before the DAKA I carried a bulky L-fold wallet that I always had to take out of my pocket or adjust before sitting down. Now with the DAKA’s slim profile, I don’t have to worry about being uncomfortable or printing. […]
One of our biggest supporters, Midland Radio, recently set us up with a pair of T71 X-Talker 2-Way Handheld Radios for our trip to Costa Rica. The mission: to rent a pair of Overland equipped FJ Cruisers from Nomad America and explore the Pacific Coast of the country for a little over a week. With […]
The first time I purchased a pair of electronic ear muffs I knew I couldn’t go back. Since then I’ve had all types of earmuffs and plus of varying electronic capabilities. Right before I left for SHOT Show 2020 my favored pair broke on me. I left on a Sunday and it was Saturday afternoon. […]
In the Pacific Northwest, Danner is legendary for making quality boots that last. I got my first pair of Danner TFX boots when I was in Iraq in 2009 and they are still in my closet. When I joined the Inmate Recovery Team we all got fitted for Danner boots at the Danner Factory Store […]

One way for a team to operate at night and identify its team members is to use signal lights. For less than $30, Nitecore supplies […]
In a sea of LED flashlights, there are only a few companies that keep raising the bar in both quality and value. Nitecore is one of those companies.
