Nitecore EDC27

Ryan

Knives & Tools

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…

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.

Tekto F2 Bravo

Ryan

Knives & Tools

I’m sort of obsessed with this little folder. Modern design, decent steel, and a the perfect pocket clip. A bit speedy, but good shit usually is…

Nite Ize 3-1-1 Pouch

Ryan

Bags & Wallets

I paid $35 for this thing last year and was pretty disappointed when I got it. It feels disposable and not at all like the premium rubber pouches sold by people like Magpul. But a year later and I have to admit – while these things are very light and thin, they are durable as hell and my pouch is still 100% waterproof. I have no idea why the material used is so unbreakable, but I think the biggest reason for its waterproofing is the zipper. It’s really great.

In any case, they are expensive… but damn do these things work well.

Belt Cable Duo

Ryan

Tech

I have a weird use case in my car in that I use multiple devices from different eco-systems. Software clashes aside, the biggest issue is really the number of charging cables I have to host. This dual cable (lightning and USB-C) has solved that issue in style.

Utilipro 6-in-1

Ryan

Knives & Tools

Another utility blade folder hits the market. This one has various other tools that I would probably never use, but the price is great.

Ryan

Bags & Wallets

Famed Atlas 46 has recently released a new line. Rather than their typical choice of modern Cordura, they are now offering their mobile tool storage solutions in leather… and they RULE.

Fast Pack Litespeed

Ryan

Bags & Wallets

Another day, another pack. This one is limited… and will probably be sold out by the end of the day. It’s a limited edition Fast Pack in black and sterile. Made like an absolute brick shit house.
