A few things I appreciate.



My Eastlands are my go to shoe. In the office, in the woods, and in town.



My Pioneer is my favorite pocket knife I've ever owned.
Cut rope...check...punch leather...check...open spaghetti cans....check...tighten screws....check



Bertucci makes great watches that far exceed their price range. I paired this one with a Jcrew canvas strap applied some Filson oil treatment and now it lives on my wrist.



My favorite navigation system. Made by Marble's outdoors.



The battery on this PDA never goes dead. A Parker Jotter paired with Field Notes is a perfect combo.



Billy Kirk card case. One month down and a couple hundred months to go.



One of a kind fixed blade made by Scott Summerville. Outside of chopping down trees it meets all of my backcountry cutting needs.




The G11.



I'm down to three personal keys plus my car key. I'd like to cut back some more.
In the words of Jack Johnson, "I've been losing lots of keys lately, I don't know what that means, but maybe I'd be better off with things that can be locked at all."

I carry most of these on a daily basis. The only exceptions being the second knife and the compass which are my wilderness companions.

  1. More people should appreciate SAK's. I agree that the alox stuff is very nice, but I personally prefer the Farmer over the Pioneer, due to the inclusion of the saw. Another favorite of mine is the Safari Pathfinder model. The larger blade and saw/combo-tool are very useful.

    Nice strap on the G11. I have never like the supplied strap that came with my G10. You have influenced me to swap it out for something less synthetic.

  2. Thanks again. The knife was actually a one year anniversary gift from my girlfriend. She has a the silver version.

    As for the strap it was made by a friend of mine that does a lot leather working. I think it fits the rugged aesthetic of the G11 more than the standard strap.
