Today's EDC

So after reviewing my "normal" EDC rotation I decided to actually carry everything at once, on body. Normally my Surefire and Leatherman are carried in my messenger "Jack Pack" bag but today I decided to be different. I guess this will be an addition to my reviews on the P-7 Clip, Paraframe, G2, Skeletool CX, and my Zippo too just for kicks.

This is everything I carried today,

Oakley SI Assault Boots Review

These boots are something I've planned on reviewing ever since I started this thing here and laid claim to my little piece of the internet. While I haven't gone around putting up fence on this property to keep out the hooligans just yet, I certainly have the boots to do it with. I have had a pair of tan Oakley SI Assault boots since about mid-2008ish. They wore in great and are very comfortable for my feet, I love them but I can't really say I'm too much of a boot connoisseur per se. I have worn a few different pairs of boots over the years and I have come to love my Oakleys.

Yes, that's plural, Oakleys.

Leatherman Skeletool CX Review

I've used and abused this particular piece of gear for about 8 months now rotating between bag or body EDC, losing it completely, or just leaving it on a shelf or in my truck (Where it is currently). So far my main complaint is that it is quite heavy, a lighter version would be nice (Titanium anyone?) but as I have already bent the pliers (Wood screws don't cut easily...). Leatherman does currently offer a good warranty where they will fix it and switch the blade to a straight edge (or fine edge, whatever way you want to see it) blade with only shipping (tracked and insured) to them as the cost to you, the rest they take care of which is nice. 

My absolute favorite part about this tool is the carbon fiber scale,

Surefire G2 Nitrolon Incandescent Review

I've had this old surefire G2 for quite some time now, of course it's slightly too large for an EDC pocket carry but for an off body carry it's decent. Weighing in at around 120 lumens with a warm tint this isn't really a light to laugh at, yes there are smaller, longer lasting flashlights that produce over 200 lumens on rechargable AA batteries now but you know what? Screw them. Yes, I said it. SCREW THEM. I don't own one of those and I don't need a keychain flashlight or HDS RA Clicky to make me happy sorry, I got carried away there... Yes I would prefer to have a nice RA Clicky or Nitecore EX10 or D10 (Or a Cool Fall SPY 007 Tri-V) as an EDC light (Oh the things I would do for a Tri-V...), but right now I cannot afford the cash to get one (Or anything for that matter...).

Overall I love the design of the G2,

Review: Moleskine Notebooks and Zebra Stainless Pens

For my first review I will be talking about Moleskine Notebooks as well as Zebra Stainless Pens for EDC (Everyday Carry) and general usefulness. Currently I EDC a Zebra F-301 Compact Pen that I disassembled and painted with a gunmetal wheel coating I've had lying around for a few years, as well as an extra-small Moleskine Soft-Cover notebook (3 1/2"x5 1/2"). I absolutely love them both and have used them quite often. I do wish the Moleskine was thicker but for what I need it works perfectly and I barely notice that it is taking up space in my back pocket! There is just something unique about physically writing things down in a notebook instead of typing them into a cell phone to be forgotten. Moleskine sells their notebooks directly through their site, but I got mine at Barnes and Nobles The Zebra F-301 Compact Pen is my writing instrument of choice. It easily opens into a full size pen but is compact enough to fit into my jeans coin pocket. The line is smooth and does not bleed through paper or "blob" together, yet is easily readable.
