Your new touch screen iPod Nano is to good to resist. It will be the perfect replacement for my beat up, trusty, second gen shuffle.

September 1st, 2010New 24 Hour Pack Page
August 24th, 2010I have added a new page to this site. I wanted to cover how my Search and Rescue 24 hour pack evolved but I wanted to do it all in one place. Hence the 24 Hour Pack page.
I will make sure to drop regular post whenever I make updates.
NOOOOO… iPhone 4 Bumper/5.11 Tactical Pant Fail
August 20th, 2010
I have blogged in the past about the general awesomeness of the iPhone pocket on the 5.11 Tactical Pants. The awesomeness continued when I upgraded to the iPhone 4. That is until… Disaster… I received my free Apple Bumper. The iPhone 4 + Bumper still fits in the pocket but it does not slide easily in an out. You have to apply some muscle.
Maybe 5.11 could make the phone pocket a little wider… or maybe I need to find a case that does not have rubber on the outside.
Its a no win. I do like the rubber on the outside because it makes the phone gripper
Just Back From Vegas
August 16th, 2010I have been terrible about blogging. Seriously bad. But I have an excuse! I spent the last 4 days in Las Vegas. Had a lot of fun. Not a gambler so I did not loose any money, just enjoyed the sights and tried to take it all in.
Brunton 54LU Sighting Compass (Second Post)
August 9th, 2010The Brunton 54LU really is the bomb. And you might not be able to get one. So just to rub it in, here are two few more pictures:
Having had a chance to use this a bit. The one change I would suggest to Brunton would be a tritium panel under the reflector. Right now its glow in the dark, Which works great if you have just pointed a light at it… I don’t know if tritium is the right solution but it seems like this could be a minor improvement on an already great (and discontinued) product.

August 9th, 2010SAR Kit – Gear of the Search: Leather Gloves
August 9th, 2010In my last very brief post I mentioned I went on my first search. I had a couple of items that worked really well, my Brunton Sighting Compass (54LU), Danner boots, 5.11 Tactical Pants and my SOG Machete. But at the end of the day the best thing I had on me was my leather gloves. Seriously, just plain old leather gloves. Without gloves you may ask ourself, “do I really want to grab that?” or “do I really want to jump into those blackberries?” Thick gloves removes all that.
I have some Blackhawk aviators on order from lapolicegear.com but its hard to imagine them being that much better than these cheap ass gardening gloves.
Its kinda quiet in here…
August 3rd, 2010Sorry guys been really busy. I am trying to get back to blogging soon.
Possible Downtime
July 20th, 2010Not that I have been blogging a lot anyway, but I am transferring domains names, which could cause some downtime.
Update: And it appears I was successful with no down time. For those who want to know. When you transfer a domain name, your name server settings remain (that is as long as they are not the loosing registry’s default settings).
Daily Dose of Interwebz
July 14th, 2010The senior art director notes that because Apple users tend to wear their denims 33% tighter than a PC user and a shocking 90% tighter than a Linux user, sliding that smartphone out of your pants is a huge problem.
