Nanuk 935

If you need a hard case carryon but don’t want to spend $1000, this is your best option. For just over $200, you get a bag that is more durable than any fancy aluminum job and only a tad bit heavier. I’ve been traveling with mine for a bout a year now and it’s pretty damned hard to beat. Fits GoRuck packing cubes fine.

Orslow Fatigue Pants

Read More

About a year ago, I got a pair of Orslow fatigue pants as a gift. They were incredibly expensive, made in Japan, and gorgeous. So gorgeous, that I treated them preciously. After a while, however, the novelty wore off and I started to treat them like regular old pants – time in the shop, on the road, outside, etc… I have beat the hell out of them.

And the thing is, these things wear like sweat pants. Something this comfortable should not be so durable. They have outlasted jeans and still look fantastic. I am not, a convert… and these have become part of my uniform.

If you find them on sale, buy the shit out of them.

Seiko SPB455

Read More

A new release from Seiko. Essentially, this is a homage to their original dive watched released in 1965. The case has been updated using more modern dimensions and materials, the (optional) Japanese bent steel strap is incredible, and the new 6R55 movements is supposed to be ground breaking. Whatever be the case, I love this damned thing.

One of my favorite bag companies just released their 2024 Tech Collection. I can’t speak for all of these products, but their tech pouch (pictured above) is fantastic for all sorts of uses.

The Costallo Pant

These folks sent me a pair of these pants out of the blue. I didn’t expect a whole lot. I was dead wrong. These might be the best damned work pants I’ve ever worn – especially in warm weather climates. They have some stretch to them, they breathe incredibly well, and they seem tough as all hell.

You don’t need fuel, you just need a charge… and then, you have fire. This thing actually works pretty well.

Things 3

I don’t often recommend apps… but this one has changed my life. Things is essentially a todo app available and synced on all of your devices. It can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. If you are a busy person, give this thing two weeks. It will change your life too…

Vosteed Corgi Flipper

Read More

Small and well designed, but not made of particularly great materials… and, as a result, it’s pretty damned cheap. The Costeed Corgi is approachable.
