Items of Want 016

Boeing Stow Bag

A modern bag with classic styling. I’m sure I could find the perfect use for this 100% polyester bag with heavy duty zipper and orange lining. Truth be told, I’m really just a sucker for orange lining.

[Acquired] Poler Cast Iron Skillet


"The Poler 12" Cast Iron Skillet weighs 7lbs and comes pre-seasoned and ready to use straight out of the box. It features dual pour spouts, a comfortable handle and an additional helper handle for extra support while pouring and carrying. There is no pancakes like an enlightened one.”

Best Made Survival Kit


"In case of emergency: behold 18.75 cubic inches of ultra-light, machined, aluminum, in which you will find 25 of the most highly considered and useful life saving tools you could ask for. Then take a deep breath. Think happy thoughts…"

Kifaru Woobie


"The Kifaru Woobie & Doobie are designed to replace the USGI poncho liner and are MUCH warmer and lighter. They are also great as a sleeping bag liner or ground cloth."

Hill People Gear Kit Bag


The Kit Bag is a way to carry trail essentials close at hand. Whether that’s navigation gear, fire starters, fixed blade knife or survival kit, the Kit Bag can hold gear without being uncomfortable.

Items of Want 015

The typical Items of Want posts I share always showcase something physical; a little gadget or doodad. Those aren’t bad things and some of them can even make life easier or better in different ways but every time I post, I feel that there’s something missing.
This video encompasses the true “items” that I want.
  • Emotions
  • To Witness Happiness
  • A Deeper Understanding
  • To Feel Love
Those are truly the things that money can’t buy. I’ll take a short break from the usual Items of Want series and leave this video for you to contemplate.

Items of Want 014

Adventure Tool Company Tool Pouch


"These Tool Pouches will organize your tools, parts, and equipment, telling you exactly what is located where without any confusion. Made in Colorado, U.S.A, of heavy waxed canvas and MILSPEC components, sewn with high-tensile thread and reinforced internally with binding tape, the Tool Pouch will never fail."

GORUCK 10L Bullet (Coyote)


"Sized to hold a 3L hydration bladder in a separate compartment next to your back, the Bullet Ruck offers our most streamlined fit. Put everything else in the main compartment and go." Now that I think about it, I probably should go with the 15L version for a little extra space.

Quirky Nimbus


"Nimbus is a highly customizable 4-dial dashboard that tracks what’s important to you. Personalize each gauge using your mobile device to keep an array of info up-to-date and available at a glance. Nimbus can monitor your commute traffic, weather, email, calendar, social media networks, and more."

ITS Skeletonized Bottle Holder (Black)


This bottle holder fits a large variety of items and can mount on my GORUCK GR1. Perfect for adding more water storage that’s also easy to access. Hand Made in the USA with American materials and labor.

Bradley Mountain Pipe Utility Roll (Brush Brown)


"A spin (and an upgrade) on the Utility Roll. This roll is specifically designed to hold your pipe essentials. So many people are picking up grandpa’s old pipe, but so few have a place to hold their kit when their out on the road."
