Asking them to improve on the Replay XD Camera is a little like asking General Mills to improve on Lucky Charms.

As his or her hand glides across a screen of five straight Ray-Ban rocking suns we start thinking about ways to get a week off from work and get outdoors. One of the first things we'll have ... continue reading
You don't bring a knife to a gunfight, but you bring one everywhere else. You never know when you might need to cut some cheese, sharpen a stick or spring a trap so it's good to be prepared. Even better if the knife is a multi-tool because then you can also use it to repair your gun as well. Victorinox (the Swiss Army ... continue reading
We're used to using Zippos to light the cigarettes of beautiful women emerging from late night drinking establishments, hoping that our skill in opening and closing the little silver lighter faster than Wyatt Earp would somehow entice them into our abode. While this rarely (read: Never) panned out, we still carried ... continue reading
If we ever get around to writing that bucket list somewhere nestled between relaxing in the grotto at the Playboy Mansion and “not” relaxing in the grotto at the Playboy Mansion would be riding a motorcycle cross country. If we are going to do it though, we want to really do it and not shell out cash for hotels ... continue reading

When it comes to the parts of our golf game that we’d say we’re good at, the list includes stuffing our golf bags with the optimal amount of beer and handling turns with our cart at high speeds, outside of that we’ll take any help available.

It’s a known fact that the best part of a driving range is the few precious minutes when the guy in the ball collecting truck comes out. You can hear the collective shuffling of feet as each guy gears up to tee off at him. The only real explanation for this is that we simply like shooting at things. Up your ... continue reading
Before a hobo simply needed a golden voice to get by, they needed all the items that could fit inside their stick supported sack. One thing sure to be in there - pressed between dirty underwear and booze - was a hobo knife. The pocket-sized essential was a hybrid between a Swiss Army knife and an individual cutlery ... continue reading
If Batman could have gotten all these life-saving gizmos in one handheld device he could've ditched that heavy old belt (assuming it wasn’t holding up his Batpants - fighting crime in boxer-briefs is most likely frowned upon). The Raptor from Eton is an emergency radio that has a billion (estimated) other features. ... continue reading
There are quite a few things that don't need an explanation of purpose or a rationalization for purchase. Things like: beer, books about butts, gadgets to use while pretending to work and knives.
