1924us – Diner Mug
Love the look and feel of diner mugs, especially this one. Drinking Americanos from this most mornings. No longer available for purchase unfortunately.
James Brand – The Palmer
When a normal box cutter just doesn't…cut it. Big fan of this one (and all of their stuff) and the ability to have a shallow-depth lockout. Really well-designed and the perfect, pocketable size.
Garmin Instinct 2 Solar
This is my "daily driver" as the EDC folks would describe. My second Instinct after my first one stopped holding a charge longer than a few days. Garmin gave me a huge discount on this one, even when I was way outside of my warranty. Good on them.
Simms – Haul Pack Cap
Comfortable and breathes really well. Not just for fishing! Bought locally at a fly shop here in Bend.
QuadLock – Case + Wallet
I've used these cases for years. I am deep in their ecosystem of accessories for my bikes, motorcycles, & cars. So, it would be pretty expensive to switch. The design and attachment mechanism on the Peak Design cases seems much better so it may be worth it…
11" iPad Air, Apple Pencil Pro, Logitech Flip Folio Keyboard Case
The devices I use to do most of my writing for this site. Occasionally sketching, or watching movies and shows when traveling.
Shokz – OpenRun
Bone conduction headphones that allow you to still hear what's going on around you. Perfect for running or cycling but also great around the house.
Feathered Friends – Eos Down Jacket
This thing is warm, super light, soft, and quiet. It also feels higher quality than my Patagonia equivalent. Bonus: it's hand made in Seattle.
