Nikon Z fc

Read More

The Nikon Z fc is just a basic Nikon Z with retro styling similar to the old Nikon F-series of film cameras. It’s gorgeous… Probably the best looking and feeling camera on the market if you (like me) do your best to ignore Leica. The thing is though, “retro” styling isn’t just an aesthetic thing. Physical knobs and buttons actually make using a camera both more efficient and enjoyable.

This is the best thing Nikon has done in decades.

TugLug

The overland industry of Australia has put out some real bangers in the last couple of years. One company that has really shined is TufLug. They make tool pouches that are weather resistant and tough as hell. More details here… Or you can buy a pair here.

The Best Board Shorts

Read More

Running my app again… and this one was hard to do because of all the variations with board shorts, but according to the internet, the best board shorts in the world come from Birdwell. More specifically, the 808.

I, however, like to have a zippered pocket on my board shorts. In fact, it’s sort of a must for me. So, I had to dial in that stipulation. What did the internet have to say? The Outerknown Apex trunks by Kelly Slater.. at almost $150!!!

Pinel at Pinel & Bic

Read More

How about a trio $230 Bic Pens? No shit… Over two largish… for three Bic pens. No denying the beauty though. Pinel and Bic both have French roots, so it only makes sense that they are each done up in French colors…

One Clock

I’m not sure why the world still needs bedside alarm clocks, but it’s hard to argue that this thing isn’t built and designed beautifully. Reminds me of early Braun design.

SmallRig iPhone Cage

Read More

I’m on location doing some shoots at the moment and trying to stay as mobile as possible. So mobile, in fact, that I’m shooting entirely on my iPhone 12. My solution for audio and tripod mounts? A stupidly cheap cage from a company called SmallRig.

This thing just works.

The Mini Butterfly

Read More

You might think of balisong knives as a youthful fascination, but they are actually quite practical – fast to deploy and incredibly safe once out for work. They also typically feature a small form factor that is perfect for EDC.

The Terrain 365 Mini-Butterfly is even smaller than most, built to be carried every day, and is absolutely gorgeous in its simplicity.

Check it out.

Prime Day Find

Read More

Prime Day is a pain in the ass… You can find some great deals, but only if you are willing to pull the trigger immediately because the deals expire at random.

Thus far, my favorite deal is probably the 25% discount on the Fellow Ode Coffee Grinder. These things are expensive, never go on sale, and work better than anything else on the market. They are also built like a brick shit house.

For now, you can find the deal here.
