Re-reading my past scribbles is always interesting to me, not because I am obsessed with my own written word, but rather because bloggers, by virtue of being given a platform to be highly opinionated, tend to ignore uncomfortable realities when it's much easier to outright … [Read more...]
Real Talk, What Happened to MTJS
Blogger burnout is a real thing. I have been scribbling reviews and sharing my thoughts with you all for quite a few years now. It seems it all started off as a way for me to talk about my love for Spydercos and evolved into a great community over the years, and for that, I … [Read more...]
How Much Is Your Life Worth? SafeGuard Armor Ghost Bullet Proof Vest Review
Before I get into the meat of this review, I want to structure this away from regurgitating specifications like every other review of this sort and instead spend it musing about what this product represents to so many people the world over. Bulletproof vests are not about … [Read more...]
It’s Strangely Satisfying That What I’ve Stockpiled Has Never Gone to Waste

Now the UK is Banning Online Knife Sales – Here We Go Again
It's not enough for Canada to go off the deep end, the UK has to follow in suit. After all, it has to keep its edge in the battle for the most ridiculous ban legislation. In its latest bout of scheduled lunacy, our elected overlords passed a motion to restrict the … [Read more...]
Gerber MP600 Multi-Plier Bladeless Needle Nose Multitool Review

“Hysteria & Hysterical Fits:” First Aid Knowledge & How It Evolves
I used to publish articles and guides concerning first aid on a semi-regular basis on this blog, but over time, have found it's become harder and harder for me to do so. There's been a pretty massive shift in attitude on MTJS with regards to these articles. Long time … [Read more...]
