EDC Made Easy

June 28, 2013June 28, 2013 James Burnette 6 Comments

I had an idea to make edc simple and streamlined but subtle. I didn’t want to be sporting around a Batman utility belt. I also didn’t want to got the fanny pouch route. I know Nutnfancy wears one and says to get over it. Well I’m not getting over it and I think I found a better solution that will not make you stand out as a weirdo or tourist. My solution give you the ability to carry a few extra items that you need everyday.I’m still working out the kinks and on the items that work best but I’ll go ahead and share what I have so far.

Olight – S10 Baton Review

January 10, 2013January 10, 2013 James Burnette 1 Comment

I love flashlights. Especially ones that are really bright and come at a great price. A few months ago Kelly from Survival Gear Bags asked if I wanted to test the Olight S10 Baton flashlight out before they carried it. I love getting to test out new gear and of course said to send it. I tested and beat this thing pretty hard and now that it is finally ready in the store I can share my thoughts with you. Let me illuminate you on why grabbing this light will be a great idea.

Today I have a DIY project for you. As part of my EDC key chain I carry a mini bic lighter. I find it more convenient to carry on my keys than to throw in my pocket. It helps to keep from forgetting to bring it. Since after a few years of use (not being a smoker) my bic finally died so I’ll show you step by step how to attach it to your keychain and why you might want to.

Back in September when I was running the big contest one of my winners was Casey Bradshaw of Bradshaw Blades. He wrote me and told me about his knives and asked If I wanted to give one away/ test it. My answer is always Yes to playing with gear and giving it away. I have been busy beating on his knife and am finally ready to give my thoughts on the quality and give it away.

Streamlight PT 2L Review

July 3, 2012June 23, 2022 James Burnette 4 Comments

Today I have a review of my favorite EDC flashlight. It is the Streamlight PT 2L. The PT 2L is a small tactical flashlight weighing in at only 2.8 oz and 4.68 inches in length. For its small size it puts out an incredible 180 lumens. The PT 2L runs off of two CR123A Lithium batteries. It has three modes: Hi (180 Lumens for 2.5 hours) Low (50 lumens for 50 hours) and a strobe mode (up to 6 hours). It is waterproof to 1 meter for thirty minutes.
