I know that many preppers think it's silly to fixate on taste when it comes to survival food. If you're in an emergency situation, they'll argue, you're unlikely to care about the taste of the food as much as you'll care that you have food in the first place. They're obviously right, but somehow that hasn't stopped me from caring about the taste of prepper food in the past. If I can get my hands ...
September 2017 EDC Pocket Dump
A minimalist EDC update for doing things around my grandmother's garden. This, of course, does not include all the things in my pocket that can be seen here. The Mandra is a super nifty little knife. I would define it broadly as a neck knife, but you can just about get a full three-finger grip, which makes it viable (in my opinion) for some more intensive tasks. Review obviously coming ...
5.11 Tactical Stryke Pants Flex-Tac Ripstop Apparel Review
I've had these 5.11 Stryke Pants for a while now, have tried and tested them and worn them every day for over a month, and yet still have found myself really struggle with formatting this review.

What's a little more tricky is knowing which home security improvements are the most important for you to do, so you don't end up spending money buffing up security in areas that are perfectly fine, and accidentally overlooking other, more glaring security issues. There's no point in getting a quality ...
Kershaw Pub Sinkevich Multi-Function Keychain Knife Review
I think many of you will have seen this review coming. When Kershaw announced the "Pub" by Dmitry Sinkevich, I was beyond excited. It seems to me that Spyderco was always the de facto "weird 'lil knives" company, but recently I have found myself straying and loving these new quirky offerings from other mainstream brands. As I have written about before, after so many reviews it's exhausting to ...
What Knife Is Currently In Your Pocket?
Just thought it'd be cool to do a quick survey of what knife everybody's carrying at this present moment, so: Which knife or (let's be honest - with a lot of you that'll be) knives*, are you currently EDC-ing? If you've got two in your pocket, list 'em. If you've got one in your bag & one in your pocket, list 'em and state where each is housed. Want to go a bit more into detail in your ...
