Colonel Littleton No. 11 Survival Belt review

col littleton no11 1

I am not sure if I should cue the theme to Mission Impossible, Raiders of the Lost Ark, or MacGyver… And we all know if you are considering theme music, it is the start of a fun review. That difficult decision aside, the review item I am discussing is the No. 11 Survival Belt from Colonel Littleton […]

Triple Aught Design aka TAD recently offered to send me one of their Women’s Artemis Hoodies for review. I happily accepted because I’ve been wanting to try something made from Merino wool for quite a while. This particular jacket takes its name from the fearless female hunter of Greek mythology who used her bow and

Chewbacca Bath Robe

Another day, another awesome Star Wars item.  Today’s offering is a hooded, 100% polyester robe that suspiciously resembles everyone’s favorite Wookie.  Although I’m fairly sure it’s not a licensed LucasFilms (Disney?) product, it looks pretty accurate, complete with Chewie’s bandolier stitched across the chest (front AND back) and large pocket to mimic Chewie’s pouch.  A

I’m not a man and don’t wear neck ties, so I don’t know how much suffering has been going on out there as far as ties that flap in the wind or hang haphazardly on your chest. I’m sure it’s a tragic condition and for that fact I’m going to offer you the Magnetie solution.

The Scrubba Washbag Review

Any traveller will know the dilemma of balancing the right amount of clothes with the additional weight and space required to carry those clothes.  When bushwalking you’re extremely limited with how much you can carry on your back, when motorcycle touring you’re constrained by how much you can fit into a tail bag or pack.
