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 […]

About a month ago I was watching a video on the Ranger Fieldcraft and Survival YouTube channel and noticed the channel owner using a different knife than the one that he usually uses in his videos.
