Exploring Gear
Urban, Suburban & Wilderness Preparedness
From an early age, I’ve been obsessed with pocket knives, flashlights, tools, pens, and watches. Back then, I didn’t know there was a term for always carrying a pocketknife and pen around, it’s just something I’ve always done. I’m not preparing for the apocalypse (necessarily), but definitely a flat tire, emergency situations, and self-reliance.
Everyday Carry
You would be hard pressed to find me without a pen, flashlight, and at least a pocketknife, and the same should go for you! However, not all gear is created equal… Let’s take a look.
Pocketknives
This is where it all started. A Victorinox Classic in my Christmas stocking and it was all over. I also remember cutting myself with it. For the record, two knives are better than one.
Watches
I’m not a watch snob, give me a nice quartz and I could die a happy man. Dress watches, field watches, divers, I like’em all. That being said, I can’t stop buying them.
