My Altoids EDC Emergency Kit
I carry an Altoid EDC Emergency Kit just about everywhere I go. I have one that can get through airline security (no razor blade or knife, but it does have a fire steel and scraper in the kit that makes it through security with no issues). The one I carry every day however has a […]
Saturday Night Camping New Gear Test
So, I should put out there, that sometimes when we go camping it is pseudo camping, in that a friend has a 5th wheel trailer on some property they own, have a well, electricity pumped in, and a couple of sheds with equipment and tools (axes, saws, etc.). They own about 200 acres, and it […]
4 x 32 Scope For My Henry AR-7
The Henry AR-7 comes with a small rail on top of the receiver for a scope. As I am not thrilled with the rear peep site, I have had this on my list to purchase for about a month or two. This past weekend, I spent a few dollars on a 4 x 32 […]

I always carry aluminum foil. In fact, in my Altoids kit there are two square feet of aluminum foil. I carry it because if I need a makeshift bowl or need to cook something I have what I need to do the job, and can possibly reuse it if I had to. I only carry […]
The Best Commuting Backpack I Have Owned.
Living in the suburbs, and commuting into NYC, you would think is easy. It is, but it can also be a cumbersome task when you are schlepping a notebook, laptop, file folders, and EDC every day. I also travel nationally quite a bit on business. With all the “stuff” I was carrying, it got to be a […]
My Business Travel Preparedness Kit
This is a modified business travel kit. I have posted about my travel carry before, and it routinely changes. Today, I put in the luggage that I check at the airline, what you see in the picture to the left. I just feel better when traveling for business with a small preparedness kit with me. […]
