This $1.25 Knife Might Save Your Expensive EDC Knife
I carry some expensive knives. I also really do not like abusing expensive knives. Cutting cardboard is one thing.

I Tried Building a Full EDC Kit at Walmart for $10
Everyday carry does not have to be expensive, but in 2026, it is getting harder and harder to build a useful EDC setup on a very small budget. So I went into Walmart with a simple challenge: could I build a complete everyday carry kit for $10 or less? Spoiler alert: I failed. But only…

Piorama Omni 2.0 Review: The Tech Bag I Was Looking For
For the longest time, I was trying to find the perfect tech bag.

Nothing really worked the way I wanted it to. Then I finally…
