Outask TD2 Review: The Telescopic Lantern That Saved My Bacon
Today we are taking a look at the Outask TD2 Telescopic Lantern, and this one actually saved my bacon. Outask sent the TD2 into the channel for review, and I am very glad they did because I ended up needing it in a real-world roadside situation. I was driving along when I got a large…

KeyUnity KH01: The Phone Carry System I Didn’t Know I Needed
Have you ever had something show up and you did not realize how much you needed it until you actually got it? That is exactly what happened with the KeyUnity KH01. KeyUnity reached out and asked if I wanted to take a look at one of their new items. It is called the KH01, and…

LoopGear SK05 Pro 2 Review: 5,000 Lumens in a Pocket Flashlight
LoopGear sent the SK05 Pro 2 into the channel, and holy hell, this is one heck of a flashlight. This compact little beast has a maximum output of 5,000 lumens and a maximum intensity of 41,000 candela. That is a lot of light packed into a relatively small box. If I had any doubts before…

Adulting EDC: What I Carry When I’m Forced Into Real Pants
Today I had to adult. It was god awful. I had to wear real pants. Not jeans. Not jeans with deep pockets. Actual dress slacks. Just saying those words feels like chewing aluminum foil. I had a work conference to attend, and that meant I could not carry my normal everyday setup the way I…

FINTISO Atlas Review: This Knife Hits Way Above Its Price
FINTISO sent another knife into the channel, and this time we are taking a look at the FINTISO Atlas. Previously, they sent over a couple of other knives, including the Harper series and the Toucan. The Harper impressed me enough that I carried it for quite a while and put it through plenty of use.…
