The Helihome

If only I knew how to fly a helicopter… and had a few million laying around. I could go where I’ve never been before!

Parachute Straps

Read More

Prometheus just released their own version of the French Navy invented watch strap made from stretchy parachute straps. If you haven’t tried this style of watch strap before, you owe it to yourself to give it a go… It’s all I wear anymore really…

Elago iPad Stand

Expensive as hell at over $100, but it’s the best stand I’ve found for the 12.9″ iPad Pro. Looks the part too…

GOAT Modular Multi-tool

Read More

The end game in “Leatherman style” multi-tools is the ability to pick and choose which tools are onboard. Doing so allows you to create an optimized tool to your needs so you are carrying exactly what you need and nothing that you don’t.

GOAT is trying to provide exactly that and early reviews are VERY good.

Bastion Woobie

Read More

My favorite purchase in all of 2022 was probably my Bastion Woobie from Triple Aught Design. Essentially, it’s a remix of the old military wobbie utilizing better materials and the craftsmanship that TAD is known for.

My wife hates the damned thing, but it’s sooo cozy and sooo warm that frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. I now own three of them.

Oh… but they are back in stock and won’t be for long, so if you have a hankering… get to it.

Nitecore Tiki LE

Read More

“Hey, that Nitecore with the pocket folder form factor is cool, but I want something smaller to supplement the light on my phone. Something rechargeable. Any suggestions?”

Have a look at the Nitecore Tiki LE. It’s 300 lumens, rechargeable, and smaller than a AAA battery. They aren’t usb-c, but whatever man… It’s a $20 torch.

Oh… and I’m not paid by Nitecore or anything. It just so happens that this torch is made by them as well. I don’t have any experience with it, but the reviews hold up.

Nitecore EDC27

Read More

Your typical modern torch that has all the fancy features and usability quirks that come with that, but… This one has the form factor of a folding knife with a pocket clip. Pretty great really…

Relwen Rib-Pile

Read More

I spend a stupid amount of time thinking about warmth when it’s cold outside. I detest the cold… And one of my favorite ways to stay warm is the Rib-Pile material that Relwen uses on a number of different items. It’s sort of like your typical waffle under layer, but it’s thicker and more substantial. Also, it has some stretch to it… but, more importantly, it has a good memory and never stretches past the point of no return.

Highly recommended.
