Sure, the goal is obviously to sell some XTRATUF boots but donāt see this as purely a product marketing video. Even though it is one of the best product videos Iāve seen in a long time. Itās also a great story about the relationship between a father and a son and the passing down of skills and knowledge in a tough environment and even tougher circumstances.
Sidenote: While Iāve watched a few episodes of Deadliest Catch in the past, Iām not familiar with this Captain, but if Discovery Channel filmed their show more like the style of this video, Iād be onboard for sure. Well done Huckberry.
Temps in the 30ās donāt deter the pup and myself. We thrive on cool air.
With clear skies and no wind, this morning was the perfect time to load up the ruck with some bricks, water, camera lenses, and a cup of coffee (in hand actually). The goal was to hit the trails of Fair Hill, MD before the sun crested the treetops and boy did we succeed.
We stayed mostly on the gravel blue diamond route but there was still plenty to see. Next time, however, weāll hit one of the longer trails for the full experience.
Enough rambling. Enjoy a few photos of the journey.
By the way, Iām thinking of getting away from Instagram and instead post photos to this blog. But I want to keep all of those particular photos together and I donāt know what to call it. For now, I have an album on my phone called āNot Instagramā but thatās not going to work. The best I can come up with at the moment is āPhoto Blog.ā But Iād probably have to number the posts. I guess thatās ok. Well, weāll see.
Iām not usually a graphic tee kind of guy but this shirt is just plain cool. Great colors and a classic design make it a winner in my book.
I never heard of these guys before but as a company/family, they did a Wilderness Collective motorcycle trip not too long ago. I canāt seem to find the video from their trip at the moment but it really made me miss being on two wheels.
While I havenāt dug too deep into the arguments for or against watch winders, I still would like to have one of these to keep from having to set the date and time on one of my watches when I rotate its use. What I like about this winder is that you can set how long you want it to wind for. See, Iām not in favor of the ones that just rotate endlessly. You wouldnāt keep your car running all the time just so itās ready to go, right?
Iāve never ridden in a helicopter let alone flown one but this productās description, an adaptation of those famous words spoken at the beginning of The Right Stuff, sold me. It also has a great design and just the right amount of subtle humor.
āThere was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their helicopters would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 0.2 on the meter, one hundred and forty-eight miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass...ā
These boots just started shipping so youāll be hard pressed to find a thorough review but Iām still very much interested in a pair. I actually chose this photo because I donāt think any boot looks or feels good right out of the box, you have to break āem in and make āem your own. Iād like to see what these boots turn into after being put through the ringer a few times.
After seeing how this mug is made, youāll probably want one too.

This video is top quality. Not just well produced and edited, it provides a unique view at both sides (Cadre and participant) of a GORUCK event. Not just any GORUCK event, mind you, but THE toughest endurance event in the world.
