Every time I exit the Colorado Convention Center after attending Outdoor Retailer, there are a few new items that really impress me. Something revolutionary or an item to make life better in the outdoors. An item I must get my hands on for one reason or another. This winter, one of those items is a […]
Executive Protection Admin Bag I’ve been using the Executive Protection Admin Bag for the past few years for both my professional and personal needs. I’m not usually a fan of sling bags as they never seem to ride comfortably for me. This bag is the exception for me, though. The bag was designed by Aaron […]
I recently received the upcoming SOG Flash AT Assisted Opening Folding Knife for review. It’s the third iteration of the constantly evolving SOG Flash II that’s expected to drop in May 2020. I’ve owned knives from Studies and Observations Group and have always appreciated the high quality at a great price point. A few things […]
For those of us trapped indoors while the world figures out how best to handle and defeat the COVID-19 virus, many of us yearn to be outdoors. The Gear Bunker is all about spending time outdoors. It’s how we operate. And as we patiently await the “all clear” order and get back to normal life, […]
One thing I really like is a product that works as advertised. Yeti has been producing well-engineered products for years now. I’ve been a fan and continue to stand behind their products. We all know how well the Rambler line-up holds in heat or cold for most of the day. Now we have the ability […]
In Costa Rica, you’ll often hear the word Tico amongst the locals. Almost as often as the phrase Pura Vida or “pure life”. They proudly refer to Costa Rican males as Ticos and for the females, Ticas. Costa Del Mar recently introduced a new frame under the same moniker. This masculine wrapped frame is a […]
alsoMe and this backpack could be singing “I’ve been everywhere man,” in unison. In the last few months, I’ve taken the Yeti Crossroads backpack down plenty of long roads. From Vegas and SHOT Show to controlled burns and expeditions through the woods, water, and city. It’s become my go-to choice for a daypack for a […]

As the name implies, the All Terrain Load Assistance System footwear series features three styles: an eight-inch Boot, Mid […]
In an ideal world, avid skiers would own half a dozen pairs of skis or so. Colorfully lining a dedicated wall in the Garage. One for high-speed carving on those bluebird groomer days. Another GS ski for the local club or beer league races. A fat pair of skis for those sloppy second days when […]
French professional skier, filmmaker and entrepreneur, Candide Thovex has moved on from snow. Too easy. I’ve watched several of his “One of those days” videos over and over. Looks like he’s bored skiing on snow at this point. He moved on to water in last years video “The Wave“. And now? Why not the Great […]
Since it’s winter and we’re talking about boots, heated socks, snow shoes and skiing, it’s fitting that we discuss how to keep those cold wet boots dry. Wether you’re on a multi day hunt, or a week long skiing trip, keeping your footwear warm and dry is critical. Often times, boots get kicked off in […]
With over 40 years of alpine skiing under my belt, you’d think I have my kit dialed in by now. And for the most part, I do. But one problem that occurs once and awhile is my damn cold feet. Some ski boots are warmer than others but you really don’t find that out until […]
Here is a great article originally posted on Expedition Portal by Scott Brady / September 23rd, 2019. Scott goes into the nitty gritty of what works and what doesn’t when building an Overland vehicle. Keeping things as light and simple as possible are the key takeaways. However, most of us new to Overlanding are guilty of breaking […]
