Items of Want 048
I have a few Schon DSGN pens and love 'em but the colorway of this particular pen is just incredible. Really. Wowza. I've also been a fan of Worn & Wound since the beginning and still believe they are one of the best watch blogs on the Net. Worth a peruse if you're of the horology mindset.
The Ridge Wallet
My Bellroy Card Sleeve has been a trusted companion for many years now but it's starting to finally show its age. While I've never used one of these new-fangled high tech metal wallets, I think I'd like to give it a go. But I really do like the feel of leather...
[Acquired] Seiko SRPC49
I've slowly been realizing that orange and black are two of my favorite colors and when you put them together in a watch, I can't resist. I've seen this watch on various leather and NATO straps and it never looks bad.

James Brand x Salomon: The Chapter
Everything about the design of the James Brand Chapter is just perfect. And by now you know that I love the color orange so I don't need to further explain why this collaboration knife is on my wishlist. I was recently gifted one of these knives (a standard Chapter) and it's by far my favorite knife ever.
Kodiak Cakes Flapjack On The Go
My household is permanently stocked with a big box of Kodiak Cakes (thanks to Costco) but I recently had a chance to try this instant variety of Kodiak Cakes. I'm no food critic but these turn out just fine and are especially tasty if you're in a rush.

May 2018 EDC
I just updated my everyday carry and thought I'd share the most recent iteration. If you also do this sort of thing, consider posting a photo to everydaycarry.com or just poke around if gadgets and gizmos are of interest you.

Watching: Wilderness Makes You Better | Episode 1
Riding with Steve and the Wilderness Collective crew has been a major highlight in the recent years and I can't wait to do another trip out West. That said, WC just launched a new show documenting the adventures of Steve and his "crew of dirtbag guides" and I think it's off to a great start. That Death Valley trip is on my wishlist for sure.
For photos and thoughts on the Sequoia to Yosemite motorcycle trip, check out my review. Then go book your own adventure.
Items of Want 047
This notebook keeps coming up and I'd love to see what all the fuss is about. One feature that I know I'll appreciate is that it opens completely flat. Add that to their dot grid paper type, and I should be a happy camper.
Bellroy Pencil Case
Sure it can hold pencils but it looks like a well made little tool for carrying any variety of objects. Although I'd probably go overboard and get one of each color. That would certainly make it easy to grab the one I need at a glance.
Kikkerland Bedside Caddy
I like to keep a tidy bedside table but sometimes I need a little more storage. I think this caddy could do the trick, but I'd have to convince the wife because my side of the bed is facing the door.
LeviMoon Levitating Moon Light
I'm fully convinced that while all levitating gadgets are junk, this one may actually be worth it. But for fear of being proved wrong, I hope I never get it.
The Voyager Golden Record LP Box Set
Space. Vinyl. History. Coffee table book. Choose any 1 of those topics and I'm interested. Currently, Voyager 1 is still cruising along through Interstellar space, headed towards Proxima Centauri, our closest star. See where Voyager 1 and 2 are for yourself.
