Last month I wrote about my own experiences with home invasion and how the whole deal played out (spoiler alert: Good Guy 1 - Bad Guy 0), but I wanted to write some more on the topic with a focus on home security and the reality of intruder deterrents. There's no one-stop … [Read more...]
Spyderco Pingo Slip Joint Everyday Carry Knife Review
When I heard that Jens Anso and Jesper Voxnaes were the designers behind the Spyderco Pingo, I was ecstatic. I always loved the unique minimalism that Anso and Vox brought to the table and this guaranteed that I would end up snapping this fella' up. Sadly (for me) the Pingo … [Read more...]

The Benchmade 940 (also referred to as the Benchmade Osborne) is one of the few knives that has truly achieved iconic status. I don't often review Benchmade products due to the relatively high entry costs, but this has been on my list for many, many years. On paper, it's … [Read more...]
My Home Invasion Story: Break In & Robbery Attempt – While I Was Home
When I was 16 or 17, I was home whilst someone attempted to break in. The experience ended well for me (not so much for the perp), but I figured it would be interesting to discuss, since enough years have passed and I can look back on the situation critically. Before I … [Read more...]
How to Properly Clean a Cut, Scrape, or Wound to Prevent Infection
I have discussed how to seal a wound in the past, and whether to use stitches, bandages, or super glue. I've even done a comprehensive guide about sealing cuts with super glue, but as of yet, haven't fully covered the process of preparing your wound prior to actually sealing … [Read more...]
