Who We Are
We’re a small crew with 25+ years of continuous field time across the Rockies, Ozarks, and Southeast Asia. We publish practical reviews, skills, and compact loadouts that survive wind, grit, and rain. If a tool fails in the field, you’ll hear it from us.

What We Publish
- Hands-on gear reviews: mess kits, fire, water, shelter, power, blades.
- Field guides: small-format skills you can pack and actually use.

- Wellness & quiet-medicine: legal, discreet, field-usable protocols.
How We Test
- Use gear in multiple environments (cold/wet/tropical).
- Log failure points, soot wear, edge retention, battery survivability.
- Disclose affiliate links and biases; no pay-to-play.
- Update posts when gear changes or fails later.
Work With Us
We’re open to collabs, field testing, and sponsored long-term trials (no guaranteed outcomes). Gear must be safe, legal, and practical. If it fails, we publish that.
Transparency & FAQ
Do you use affiliate links?
Yes. Some links may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. We link only to gear we’d carry ourselves. If a product fails in testing, we say so.
Can brands pay for positive reviews?
No. We accept gear for testing, but outcomes are not for sale. Long-term sponsorships are disclosed and never control editorial.
