Morakniv Kansbol fixed blade knife review – It’s a good knife. Just buy it. You know you want to.

industrialrevolution morakniv kansbol 4

REVIEW- The Morakniv Kansbol is a lightweight fixed blade knife in the Morakniv Bushcraft and Survival series.

What’s in the […]

Jisulife FA35 Pro bladeless neck fan review – keep a cool head when things get hot

jisulife neckfan 10

REVIEW – Heat.  We have it in spades here in central Florida.  We have had more days over 90 degrees this year than should be allowed by law.  In addition to that, we get thrown a healthy dose of humidity, driving dew points into the low 80s regularly.  What does all this mean?  It is

Olight iMorse keychain flashlight review – A little lumen launcher

OLIGHT IMORSE 10

REVIEW –  The Olight iMorse Keychain Flashlight is small, simple, rechargeable, and reliable. The maximum brightness really surprised me. And its minimum brightness is quite useful. Since it is rechargeable I don’t feel hesitant to use the iMorse. When I’ve had keychain lights powered by harder-to-find or expensive batteries I usually tried not to use

ThruNite Flashlight 4

REVIEW – The holidays are just around the corner, and everyone can use the flashlight. I can’t tell you the number of flashlights I have stashed around the house.  I have two in the garage, one in each vehicle, one in the basement so I can see into the deep freeze, a few in the

Gravastar Sirius Pro earbuds review – Grip a set if you can

GRAVASTAR BUDS 1

REVIEW – The Gravastar Sirius Pro Earbuds have excellent sound. They come with a very creative earbud box and a heavy, durable charging carry case. They only forgot one tiny major detail. Don’t be in a hurry to put these earbuds in your ears. They are ungrippably slick and sit tightly in their case. Read

XVX M87 Coral Sea Themed Mechanical Keyboard review – looks great while nailing the basics

coral sea keyboard 12

REVIEW – Keyboards are essential, but often quite boring. Mechanical keyboards are a nice step up from the standard membrane keyboards included with most systems. Mechanical keyboards have a dizzying variety of options like the actual switches themselves (which affect typing resistance, feel, noise, activation point, and more), keycaps, lighting, etc. The XVX M87 Coral

Olight Baton 3 Pro flashlight review – Deeply groovy EDC flashlight

olight baton3 60

REVIEW – The Olight Baton 3 Pro flashlight could be called ‘deeply groovy’. It has a grip surface that is much better than traditional cross-hatch knurling. Its overall form factor fits my hand very well. And it is lightweight and has 5 brightness levels. Is there anything to not like about the Olight Baton 3

Geneverse01 Rev 011

REVIEW – As summer comes to a close and the days get shorter it’s time for me to gather and clean all of my outdoor gear and store it for next season. Usually, as I put my gear back into storage I do quick assessments of things I need to replace or upgrade. One item

XP-Pen Artist 13 Pen Display (2nd Gen) review – Small tablet big on features

XP Pen Artist 13 2nd Gen 10

REVIEW – Let me say up front that I use an iPad Pro (2018—due for an update) for watching videos and sketching out ideas using the excellent Apple Pencil. It’s a dream tablet in many ways—except one. As good as the iPad is, it only uses its own apps, not the Mac graphic design apps

LK [Auto Dust Eliminator] iPhone tempered glass screen protector review – The most amazing screen protector I’ve ever installed!

lk screenprotector 25

REVIEW – I don’t want to worry about the wear and tear of my smartphone so I like to use a minimal snap-on case and a screen protector. Installing a case is easy, but screen protector installations can be frustrating when little bits of dust get trapped between the protector and the screen no matter

CG HL 12

REVIEW – I love cars!  I am one of those people who end up with a new car at least every two to four years.   Fortunately for me, my husband likes to keep a car for the long haul.  He also puts a ton of mileage on his cars due to his job.  When you

Atomic Bear Tactical Belt review – Keeps pants at altitude and holds stuff securely

ATOMIC BEAR BELT 12

REVIEW –  The Atomic Bear Tactical Belt has only a few moving parts and none require recharging! The Atomic Bear Company sells survival gear, tactical pens, a knife, fire starters, and cool accessories. But they make a heavy-duty tactical belt that addresses an important aspect of any survival situation. Keeping one’s pants secure of course,
