Remember That Today is “Random Act of Kindness” Day – Give it a Shot!
A few days ago I mentioned that my family and I are doing a random act of kindness day today. Normally, this isn’t something I would ever willfully do on my own–this is just one of many reasons why I’m better off married to my wife–and since we’re about to head out on the town…

Contest Post: Mil-Tec Flecktarn 50L Pack Review by T.R., EAL
Today I want to talk a little bit about a very handy piece of equipment that I have used on a daily basis for over a year and a half now. It’s the Mil-Tec 50 Liter backpack. I had, and I guess still have, a German Flecktarn camo pattern obsession. I used to travel quite…

I Woke Up to Brown, Sputtering Water… and What Really Bothered Me About It
Yesterday was like any other day expect for the fact that I woke up to brown, sputtering water… yuk! It actually started out clear yet sputtering (like we’d lost water pressure) and then turned funny colors which was an obvious indication not to use it.
