In this week’s episode of Gearing Up, I’m covering a mixed bag of topics. From my latest fixed blade, to knife show updates and my latest EDC thing - the ‘go pouch’.The go pouch is all about convenience and removing friction from my life. It’s stressful enough getting out the door with three kids, so the go pouch helps me get out a bit quicker. Let me know what you think! Have you tried this approach to edc pouches?Something like this: Maxpedition Micro Pocket Organizer https://a.co/d/auoPgFG...

This episode of Gearing Up is all about carrying a Backup Blade - why I carry one, how I decide what knife will be today’s backup, and some of the problems that a second knife solves for me.

I sincerely hope that this episode doesn’t come off as too negative. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to talk about this. At the end of the day, I think we should be spending time lifting one another up - not criticizing content creators that you don’t agree with. I had another episode scheduled, but I decided to push it back to make room for this last-minute recording. I saw a video posted on Taylor’s (Best Damn EDC) Instagram that was about a creator calling him out for being...

I especially love the minimal design and nice little details throughout the inter...
