So earlier this month, I went over one of my old trusty pocket tools, the Gerber Shortcut. Yes, this is a discontinued product, but I felt that it’s still got relevant merit since it’s still for sale in many places. And while I carried that for a long time, It’s not perfect (what tool is?). …

Today’s item for consideration is the CRKT Triumph N.E.C.K. Knife.With the nice weather coming, I usually take the wardrobe change to also review and change my EDC. One thing I always take the time to review is what knife I carry with me and why. I’ve been going through my gear shelf in my office and …

Alright… this one is a personal must have especially with a family, my personally preferred CRKT McGowan Extrik-8-R Seat Belt Cutter. Note the hand-tied reflective orange paracord fob that comes attached, this was not my doing. It is very easy to keep a grip on with the scalloped edges and very roomy finger holes. This …

Let me start this out by saying i LOVE multi-tools. Put the title on something and you have my interest. Simply put, I detest having to carry more stuff than I have to, so anything that lightens the load is perfect. Inventory management has plagued gamers for decades as a sort of necessary evil, …

This is one that needs no metaphor. Solar power as it stands right now SUCKS. It’s costs without government subsidies simply don’t compare to the cost of the normal fossil fuel generated electricity over the long run. Until now.

Oh the memories of various artifacts listed in many fantasy based role playing books. Most of the best ones had all sorts of neet functions. Remember the Rod of Seven Parts? Anyone?
